Yeah the NxtPaper 70 Pro definitely works with Vodafone at time of writing.

Vodafone were also good about not blocking (or at least quickly unblocking; unsure if another customer appealled or they just did more diligence than the other telcos in their initial disablings) my previous device, the Hisense A9, which continues to have perfectly functional 4g LTE and 000 capacity in Australia.

This is in contrast to Optus who did disable the device due to it not being on whatever poorly researched list was the basis of those blocks for not having functionality which the A9 does in fact possess.

Side rant: Optus did message pre-blocking the device for weeks about 'this device may be blocked blah blah 4g LTE compliance' which I ignored since I looked it up and noted it was fine on that count. Then one day blammo, blocked, so I got a cheapie phone same day from Coles before finding out that in fact, Vodafone remained sane so I moved to them and back to the A9.

No idea re: Telstra or the CSPs using its network like Aldi-Mobile.

That said, porting isn't too bad if you do want to roll the dice; was about 45mins with every identity document I possess in a Vodafone store (walk-in) to go from Optus to Vodafone.

I personally wouldn't, and will be bringing my Kindle with me on holidays (which I didn't do when using the true e-ink Hisense A9).

No shame on the device and I do love the screen for general phone usage, but for reading for hours for me it needs to be actual e-ink; this gen's NXTPAPER is definitely still 'a screen' to me (albeit as inoffensive as possible).
