I assume that it costs money to unlock it:
"I have tried this process tonight. The process works ok>!! However the news is that the 4G USB+WIFI device which I have is locked and requires a payment of $100 to unlock it. The $100 fee is based on it being less than 6 months in use. It reduces to $20 after 6 months." http://crowdsupport.telstra.com.au/t5/Pre-Paid-Mobiles/Unloc…
Also Telstra 24x7 moderator said: "To get your device unlocked there is a fee to do so. If you've used teh Pre-Paid 4G device on our network for over 6 months, that fee is $27.50. If it's not been activated for over 6 months then the charge is $50 - $150 which our Pre-Paid team can confirm for you. To arrange the unlocking, and payment of the fee, you'd need to speak to our Pre-Paid team, which you can do via Live Chat: http://tel.st/nxzt or on +61 2 9242 0570 both are available 24x7.

Those posts are both from 2014 so the fee may be higher now.
Many thanks for your help
@jesseb05 ….thanks for your advice regarding the unlock site, saved me some Tel$tra fees to unlock a Sierra Aircard.
Thanks op ordered 1.
Thanks, Trent!
Just a note for people like me.. This only will work with PC and no hotspot function.. Unless I am mistaken. That's what happened with my Optus USB stick.. can't use it as I don't carry my laptop around..
I think you might be have been alone with that confusion, but thanks anyway.
with deals like this, one can get carried away..
You can use the SIM in your WiFi modem.
Thanks for this, I should have, otherwise, wasted $19 buck on this.
Yes I do use a Mac, as lot of web developers do ;)
You are confusing this one, which is USB only, with some that are USB + WiFi.
Also available for Pick Up at Officeworks for $19.00
Yeah they price matched but they don't deliver for Free
At yes, the Wingle
Thanks OP, just wondering (probably a silly question), when it says credit expires after 30 days, does that mean from activation or order date? thanks
From activation.
Thank you :)
Included SIM will have its own expiry, it needs to be activated before this date.
Usually how long will that be? 3 mths / 6 mths / a year?
It can vary a lot. It's printed on the packaging next to the barcode and service number.
Edit: Obviously you can check that when you're getting it delivered. It should be a few months.
Have one of these for when my shared building connection goes down. Super duper quick (in Brisbane). Quicker than my previous iiNet ADSL by a long way. Obviously very expensive ($20 for 2GB if I remember right), but handy for sure.
recharge is actually $30 for 2gb/30days.. i do like the speed, but far too expensive

YES! Its a USB dongle.
Stock standard USB dongle that happens to be 4G.
NO, its not a pocket WiFi nor is it the less common combination dongle and WiFi which would need a power adapter.
Its a standard USB dongle. Nor is it a mousetrap, stick of gum or cigarette lighter.
Oh and it's LOCKED to Telstra, somebody has already asked that one too.
Oh and YES there's a fee to unlock it. FFS.Can you run me through that again please KT?
I didn't get it the first 6 times I read the description
Will it trim my nose hair?Hey KT - Just waiting for someone to ask 'Will it work on Mars?' - wouldn't surprise me at all, lol
Can you replace the sim with those $10/3GB telstra sims that pop up every now and then?
So long as it is a Telstra sim, it should work with a Telstra locked modem, I think Telstra is the only Telco that locks their hardware, hardly anyone does that nowadays, it's so pre NBN days.
Most Telecommunications Agencies lock their prepaid devices. Optus and Vodafone do according to recent deals on here.
How many seconds of data is this?
30 day expiry kills it for me
So you use less than 2GB in a month…
What's the expiry (ie for activation) on these things normally any one know? I don't need one now but would be handy to have if it can be activated within a year or something.
I don't personally know m8 but I'm sure the Telstra 24/7 team could answer that q :)
ad says 30 days
OMG
@dins
The expiry date is usually 12-18 months and is written on the packaging. I still have some of the MF60's left from a previous deal and there expiry is June 2016.Yeah I was guessing that's what he meant, cheers for the info :)
Cheers fellas much appreciated :)
So this is for people who don't have a 4g capable smartphone to share fast internet?
That takes quite a bit of battery power. And my PC has no wifi. But I guess it's more for laptops.
The last time I had a telstra modem, I used it when there was a planned all day power outage at home.
Also my mobile plan doesn't come with much data. This is cheap for 2GB of data.
Not bad, but not tablet/phone compatible, so pass.
May work on a rooted Android with a USB OTG using the PPP dialer app.
Can the sim card be used in a HUAWEI E5776S 4g router (unlocked)?
Just discovered that 4g broadband is 8 times faster than iinet adsl in my area ;—(
iinet adsl 3.6 Mbps
Lumia 1020 speedtest using 4 g on telstra, 15-23 Mbps
Is voip reliable when using a 4 g router (telstra)?
Lacks 4G700 doesn't it ? probably why going cheap.
That and no batt./Wifi. dreadful meteringCan these be used with tablets if a tablet has a usb port? Maybe with the micro to usb conversion?
Just received mine. Btw the expiry on it is Sep 2016 so all good. Cheers! :)
bought 2 , went to buy another 2 but now they are charging for delivery :(
just pick them up :)
none in the act …:(
Nice deal - arrived today.
Can also put in the Telstra $30 starter pack SIM (from Woolies deal earlier this year).
Activate as an ipad for 3GBReally? JB HIFI told me you can't use the $30 Telstra sim starter kits on these devices. The sim in my device looks quite large compared to the one I normally use for my mobile. I'm kinda confused with which sim to buy to recharge this device.
Kind of regretting buyng it now due to the 30 day expiry. I Only purchased it because my TPG wifi at home is on and off atm, some days it's good some days it's not. It's been bad 7 out of 30 days- nowhere near enough for my to use the 2GB that came with the device….
You really need to start by reading this wiki then (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/telstra_pre-paid_starter_pack_guide?s[]=telstra)
Can it be unlocked free?
