Telstra MF910v 4GX Wi-Fi Portable Modem (2GB/30DAY) $39 (Save $20) - is this unlocked?
Telstra MF910v 4GX Wi-Fi Portable Modem (2GB/30DAY) $39 (Save $20) - is this unlocked?
No but you can unlock on eBay for a few dollars.
Does anyone know if the Telstra MF910v is locked?
Not too bad. Would this or the Huawei E5573 for $24.50 (O/W) give better performance on Ovo?
Would go for the Huawei for its full band compatibility of Optus' 3G + 4G network, Ovo being a MVNO on Optus.
Have we really confirmed !00% that both the 3G 900MHz as well as the Telstra/Vodafone used 3G 850MHz band are both activated and working. People on previous posts thought so, but still not 100% confirmed. Maybe chipset capable, but could be blocked by Optus/software?
@ozhunter68: Only text based 'confirmation' so far, WP comments + specs on box. Might be able to do a network scan in a 850 3G only area and upload a screenshot later today otherwise next week perhaps.
Thanks for your reply and sharing the in depth research you did into this modem. You know how elusive and evasive telcos have become with their models and band support.
I read most of the comments and blogs you and others have linked to this model, but was still abit in doubt. I have bought a few of these this year to firstly use on Optus, and at these prices just for the included 4GB data ( that's before all the $10 starter sims have been discounted so cheaply :-)
@ozhunter68: Did my testing today at Koah. The only Telstra tower in the area only does B28 4G + B5 3G according to records.
Scanning with the Huawei showed Telstra 4G as well as 3G
(and NBN FW from Clohesy Mt)To confirm it wasn't 2100MHz 3G I did a scan using a LG P500 which has no B5 3G which showed nothing.
So in summary, yes the Huawei E5573 has B5 850MHz 3G. :)
Wow, kudos to you there up in Cairns, job very well done :-) Suppose that is one way to test out without complex equipment like radio band scanners etc. A lot of my gear is not accessible at the moment due to moving, otherwise I would not have been so lazy to ask.
Thanks for your work, great unlocked modem for cheap when on under $30 sale. I have a couple, now even better haha
Wow Optus really pushes the $10 starter pack. And judging from the expiry date (July 2018) they are not old stocks.
Really need $1 Telstra or Vodafone SIM to port out out and in.
Awesome, thanks PBG. What's the catch? None?
No catch. I've ordered them in the past. They take a few days to arrive (up to 5?) so it's not something you want to be in a rush for. Order them now in preparation for next week :)
@Durant: No recharge necessary. You can activate the sim with no cost and receive calls (obviously not make calls until you buy some credit). In fact, if you activate the sim online then Lyca give you $5 credit to use (no credit if you activate over the phone)
That Samsung Galaxy S7 looks like a fish out of water on that page pickured together next to all those inexpensive phones :-)
Yeah at least bring it down to $800 because man it's so not worth that much
can the Optus Huawei Y3II play Pokemon
thanks , when i went to that review i saw the guy did another review specifically for gaming including pokemon go

he seemed to have a few issues but not entirely sure if it was app or phone …..
might give it a miss and wait until it goes half price again like it did at Target a few weeks back
I don't blame you for wanting it at half price just like the recent Target Sale. I would not be holding your breath for that to return unfortunately, probably won't come along again for a while.
You might need to wait till they discontinue that model with a new model, which is usually less than six months on these $70-$120 competitive priced smartphones.
Save a few more $ and go for a 5" prepaid when on sale.
Any links to a current catalogue please? Can not find any yet myself.
