Its a USB dongle + WiFi modem.
all you need is USB power and the modem will act as a wifi modem.
you can buy a better one with 5gb data for $40 from telstra its half price
Link brah?
And why is it better?
WiFi+USB dongle with 5GB? Link please.
It's the Telstra Elite Mobile Wi-Fi (MF60) on Telstra website. Not a dongle.
You can just add $10 Telstra iPad starter packs to this deal for extra 3GB. http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/111920
Total cost $20 for 4GB, or 10GB for $40 with WiFi/dongle!
This one MF60 is the same speed to Coles one(MF70). The only advantage of MF60 to MF70 is a rechargeable battery. But the disadvantage of it is that MF60 is Wifi only modem, you cannot use it as an direct connected USB modem. So for $40.00 to $10.00. Coles MF70 is apparently a better choice although it also depends on what kind of function you need.
mf60 for true portability - no external power source required
mf70 if usb powered connection available
Was a better deal last time this was offered (same + 500 points = $7.50) http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/106817#comment-1447605

Can be unlocked, did it last time. Not a bad little gadget since you can just stick it in one of those usb chargers and create your own mobile wifi.
How much was to unlock it?
Apparently can be unlocked free…check post from bennyzhou here:
Huge thanks to bennyzhou…got my modem this arvo and unlocked it within 10 minutes after following his advice :D
Maybe the included sim card can be activated as a 3GB ipad sim card by calling up?
A 1GB data only SIM turning into a 3GB data only SIM through the magic of a call. Dream on :-) That only works with the $30 SIM Starter Packs.
Picked up one at Coles today. Why not, only $10. Going to try my Kogan sim in it. Or perhaps a Aldi Mobile sim :)
Sold out at my local Coles but they have ordered in more. Will honor price even if they get them in after the deal ends on Wednesday.
"USB + WiFi".
So a USB WiFi dongle? They try and make everything fancy.
