although you shouldn't have any issue getting the chat support to change it into longlife mobile phone prepaid plan with $30 credit on it. The only problem is once you've spent 30$ on all the best emulators what else is there to buy?
Transfer the credit to the next $10 SIM.
oh well I got it down to 23c but even if I had more money on it why waste 25c to transfer it over. the real problem I've got now is what other cool android apps to get.
can the international sim be used for recharge? or is it only for new connections?
I hope they've restocked for this new sale. I went to a couple Auspost stores last week and there were no iPad sim packs left.
price match at big w :)
I dunno if they'd call or not but anytime I've ever tried to price match anything they'd always call and check stock. I mean whats the point of price matching (if they're not offering a discount) if the other store has the item instock. I'd just as easy go buy it from someone else if they had it.
who are they gonna call? :)
just the catalogue itself has always been enough with me
oh well non catalogue deals like clearence priced items (that router for 84$ and 3g wifi pro 2 at 17.84~ even if I showed them recently posted receipts they always call for stock checks.
@tonester …Ghostbusters
Ask instore or phone for available stock locations.
Yea! Another 3GB/mth data for $10 deal.
Now to make a micro-SIM to SIM adapter for the discount WiFi modem http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/89216
(See previous posts about use in non-iPad devices!)
How to get 3gb ?
micro SIM for iPad with 3GB data - but works for other data devices. http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/100607
Unused credit might be able to be be transferred / used to buy Apps - see past deals (for $10 starter SIMs - which may be different) http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/98627 etc
Have used $10 starter SIM in a Pocket Wifi2 modem. Just told them I was using it with an iPad & got 3GB no problems. Should be same with this - but DATA ONLY!
Have been travelling in Oz for last month using it - works great. Backpacker Hostels charged $5 for 2 hours WiFi access - so this is a bargain. Used VOIP in the rainforest & kept up with OzBargain for those free pizza voucher deals when I come back!
Correction: These iPad micro-SIMs can't be used to buy Apps or transfer credit - just 3GB data, according to posts on http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/100607
Normal Starter SIM packs are more flexible for credit or tell them its for use in an iPad for 3GB of data.
Now to make a micro-SIM to SIM adapter
Or a few minutes with a knife, tape, & piece of plastic (eg old SIM).
Lots of advice online, no cost, & no waiting. Done!

thanks but my time/effort > $1 :)
You forgot to factor in ordering, waiting, & collection time. Easier, quicker, & more satisfying to do yourself in a couple of minutes. It just involves cutting a hole in plastic (old SIM). Was easy & saved days of waiting.
Most people do things not just for the money - like posting on OB :-)

i don't need it so not exactly waiting for it - disregarded

i'm not that handy and find other things more satisfying :)

true :)
Lots of these adapters on eBay from $1 for 3 delivered within 1-9 days. http://vi.ebaydesc.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemDescV4&item=… ($7.15 @OW!) Just a basic plastic border to fit around the micro-SIM. Some cheap ones still require some cutting & you may need to add tape to hold SIM in place! Needed a new 3GB deal this week as old one is expiring. That's why I gave it a go, rather than wait.
fair enough - if you can't wait, then diy is the way to go :)
If you happen to have old sims lying about, instead of buying adaptors, you can just buy a sim cutter for $2. Cut those old sims and use the bit with the hole as your adaptor.
Chermside mall post office seems to never have these SIM starter every time they are on sale $10, but back on stock when not on sale
Ask them to look up stores with stock. Last month got Toombul to ring & hold $10 ones in Valley for pickup.
Does anyone know if that $50 LG phone is suitable just on a data only plan for the internet (afl app) out in the bush? Just need somethin cheap and nasty to get afl live radio on.
If you are on Telstra then can get a 4" Telstra Urbane (ZTE T22) for $60. Includes 3GB of data for first month. A significantly better phone than the LG plus it's running ICS 4.0.4. See http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/101878
no kidding the post office did a search for me and most places are out. Some have 1-2 at most.
Except Jindabyne. They have 29
Sometimes the system fails to account for some stock (or shows stock when in reality there is none) so if you wanted extra assurance I would ring each of your local POs for verification on numbers instead of relying on a system stock check. Providing you care enough to ring around for this deal.
microSIM for IPAD only , great if you want a microSIM for data :D
