Similar to this deal by Trent, the Pocket Wifi's are again $19 each. Fine print claims that the data expires after 30 days, presumably after activation. Limit of 1 per customer as well. Seems like a good deal if you can activate it later on!
EDIT: I should note that this was found on the back of today's mx magazine.
No stock near me :(
The usual form from Coles "we're only a small store, we don't get a big allocation"
How easy/hard is it to unlock these?
Believe it or not, I think they're unlocked. I just put in a TPG/Optus SIM into mine and it picked up the network fine, according to the display on it. I haven't tried doing data with it though.
Hmm OK.
From the comments of the last deal, it should be unlocked already, if it's not, you can get the code from Vodafone online.
@awoff1: Thanks! Also thanks eug.
Does anyone know the frequency on it (i.e will it work with Telstra)
Never mind found it

Got the 4g pocket wifi on voda's m2m plan. $20 for 2.5gb for the first month and the modem to keep after cancellation.. Amazed at 4g speeds..
4G is Australias fastest internet (besides NBN and Extreme cable) but they're rare.
Sub 100 ms tends to lend itself well to Skype.
Further, don't forget what could be Australa's cheapest months [ 6.60/mo]
for infrequent flybuys accounts; Voda $125/15GBpa -20% -$2o/$80@Coles
next couple of days only. 1,250mbytes
daver please explain.
$80 (or $100 if not targeted. daver +twosixfiveoh were fine)From 30 Oct - 2 Nov, if you have Flybuys - activate the offer they send you
May also buy it $95 with the tell Coles survey/barcode_$5 off $100 or $100.05 to be safe. Will use -$20 docket on my next shop.
On Voda, Month to Month, with $20 plan, modem cost is $99.
Modem is free on the following deals:
$90 per month, 25GB Data on 12 months plan
$30 per month, 4GB Data on 24 months plan
$45 per month, 8GB Data on 24 months plan
$65 per month, 12GB Data on 24 months plan

Or may be I am looking at the wrong place. Are you able to share the link?
If your local coles has no stock you can raincheck, we did one of these from the last deal, came in about a week later
Good. I sent my wife in this morning (after she did the dishes) and they didn't know what she was talking about.
Only joking… I got her to do the dishes after.
(No, seriously I actually do most of the dishes and shopping but she was doing the shopping today.)
Bought last stock Hurstville\westfield plus rainchecked at station there another for when 30days depleted. Feels a solid unit compared Mf60.
Northpark Coles in Prospect, SA is out, but the Churchill Centre still has them.
Anyone checked the Richmond, VIC store for stock of these?
You can also pick them up in KMart for $19.50, limited stock.
confirmed also for sale for $19.50 at KMart. I bought 2 just now from Kmart Parramatta. The staff there was shocked considering the tag on the display said $59.
Just picked one up at greenacres SA
Persistent.. went to Coles near Warwick Farm NSW no stock, the counter lady made call to Coles Wattle Grove no stock.. after I made my own call to Coles Wattle Grove and magically they had 2 stocks! managed to grab 1.. good luck if you are after the last one there.. Vodafone outlet is selling this for 29.95 (they asked if I have an account with them first)
anyone has use this modem overseas?
It's unlocked, so I don't see any reason why you can't use this overseas. (Using Telstra atm)
Thanks mate
Got one from Victoria gardens, VIC as of yesterday. None in Glenferrie or Westfield Doncaster.
I'm outraged. I rang Thursday night and they said they had none !
Bought one for $19. It's already unlocked. Works with a Dodo SIM.
Mine said "limited service" . Is it mean it locked? It show yes optus on the screen but no signal at all. (:
Called up East Gardens Coles in Pagewood NSW and had one put aside. Don't know if they had/have any more stock.
Bought, despite my asking they took one off the shelf without checking for the one they said over the phone they'd hold for me & there were two left as well as a couple of most catalogue phone products.
And, can the SIM be used in an unlocked LTE device to get Vodafone 4G mobile broadband?
2 left at N Rocks KMart after I bought mine:)
None at N Rocks Coles
as a long time ozbargainer, I wasn't going to give up easily. Went to Coles and it was sold out. Same with Kmart. Then went to Big W @ Box Hill, asking for a price match. Got one for $19.50
Just bought another set at kmart for backup after Coles sold out. 50cents dearer but beats the crap outta paying full price at $59!
Cheers OP - grabbed one from my local Coles earlier today…was unlocked out of the box :)
There were still some on the rack at Coles Waratah (Newcastle NSW) after I bought mine this morning.
Great deal, especially considering it is unlocked. Thanks OP.
it's a bit hard to find it, tried 3 different coles.
