Telstra has quietly added 2 new ZTE devices to its pre-paid line-up under its own brand name – the Telstra Essentials Pro and Telstra Evoke Plus.
These devices come after the company added the Nokia 2.2 to its prepaid line up of devices on Friday and, looking at the specs for both devices, they seem quite good for the price.
