      Yes they are. I obviously missed it but it is also expiring today.

      • dtc on 17/01/2017 - 11:59

        Coles one comes with 3GB data, this one doesnt seem to (although perhaps it does? Since the coles and telstra versions do).

        Telstra sells it with 3GB data for $79 (with a 'car cradle'). Just for comparison; the JB Hi Fi deal is a good deal

        • dealhunting007 on 18/01/2017 - 09:22

          Goodguys one came with 2GB data.

  • kojihama on 17/01/2017 - 10:55

    These can be unlocked can't they?

  • supnigs super skids on 17/01/2017 - 11:20

    is the 910 or 910v better? the 910 has a colour LCD but this one doesnt.

    • allenhori on 17/01/2017 - 11:52

      According to the spec MF910 seems to have more bands supported

      MF910 according to ZTE website: http://www.zte.com.au/telstra/MF910.htm
      LTE 4G Wi-Fi Hotspot
      LTE 700, 900, 1800, 2100, 2600 MHz
      UMTS 850, 900, 2100 MHz

      Personally I don't really care about the LCD screen as I won't need to look at it majority of the time, just another fancy feature to drain the battery.

      • dtc on 17/01/2017 - 11:56

        Is more bands necessarily better (or, I guess, worth paying for)? If you compare this with the most expensive one offered by Telstra (Wi Fi Pro), this one supports the same bands as the wi fi pro.

        I dont know the answer - serious question

        • allenhori on 17/01/2017 - 12:12
          +1

          Guess it really depends on whom your carrier is and more bands are always a bonus in the cases you need to travel to other countries.

        • twig on 18/01/2017 - 08:43

          Yes, more bands are better.

          I was struggling to get ANY reception in Tasmania on an older WiFi hotspot. Constantly came up with no reception or 2g, but my phone (which supported more bands) worked perfectly fine with 3g on the same sim card.

    • bchliu on 17/01/2017 - 11:59

      The 910 has a full LCD display with indicators to show the status and the SSID etc. The 910v is the cheaper variant without the LCD display but has status LED lights instead to indicate if it is connected or not. The 910v supports more bands though despite being the cheaper but later model. The LCD doesnt really drain the battery too much since it only comes on when you click the on button to view.

      • allenhori on 17/01/2017 - 12:13
        +1

        You sure 910v supports more bands? It says different on ZTE website though.

        • bchliu on 17/01/2017 - 14:27
          +1

          You are right. Sorry about that - I mixed the two around. the 910 has more bands than the 910v.

  • SAU on 17/01/2017 - 11:34

    Is not Optus's one (920v I think) from Target for $19 a better one? Has band 28.
    Stock was limited last time I checked though

    • bashar20 on 17/01/2017 - 12:10

      I would like to know how MF910V (Telstra) compare to MF920V (Optus)

      • allenhori on 17/01/2017 - 12:18

        Couldn't find much about 920v other than it connects up to 32 devices. I certainly won't share with that many people.

        • johnnyle on 17/01/2017 - 16:54

          Some info that I found on the User Manual of the Optus MF920v.
          Network compatibility:
          4G LTE: 700, 1800, 2300, 2600 MHz

        Why don't you try the "Find in store" function on Target website. It helped me to get one just now.

        • rye on 17/01/2017 - 16:55

          I did that. No stock available anywhere near postcode 4670. Can't even get stock transferred from one store to another. Not even the 5 stores closest to Brisbane…

        • leminhnguyen0703 on 18/01/2017 - 18:04

          The MF920v is unlocked. Using it with telstra at the moment

        • venomx2 on 18/01/2017 - 21:42

          @leminhnguyen0703: thanks, so although it says Optus on it, can use any sim card?

    • Rifraf on 17/01/2017 - 15:21

      One left 920v at Target Perth central.

      I was going to grab it but couldn't work out if it would work with my vodafone sim due to technical illiteracy

      • johnnyle on 17/01/2017 - 16:15
        +1

        I got a few Optus 3g-4g modem, and all of them are unlocked. All of them work just fine in and outside the country. So I believe this one should be unlocked as well.

        • Rifraf on 17/01/2017 - 16:37

          Thanks for the input.

          I decided to not make a purchase decision until its definitive.

          No point buying a 4g modem twice.

          My 3g works fine and being a net trawler rather than a downloader its likely all I need.

          I couldn't find out much in my attempt to research the 920v version and spotted no mention of vodafone so I'll wait for
          someone more well heeled to do the hard yards ;-)

        • leminhnguyen0703 on 18/01/2017 - 17:59

          @Rifraf: the MF920v is unlocked. I purchased it the other day and I'm using it with Telstra with no problem. Also Target were all out of stock but managed to price match at Officeworks Alexandria for $16.63

  • cipher on 17/01/2017 - 12:30

    can other bands be unlocked on this. I tried searching but could nto find the information

    • allenhori on 17/01/2017 - 13:18

      Only found a software called MDMA tool can possibly do something like that. Not sure if this mode is supported as it hasn't been updated for ages. You will need to research on the command as well.

  • squaredonut on 17/01/2017 - 13:01

    Does anyone know if I can put my telstra sim card into this and use my data? I'm asking because even though I can tether my iPhone as wifi hotspot, there's limitations with connecting to PPTP VPN connections now that I am on iOS 10.

    Can anyone find a good price on the MF910?

  • venomx2 on 18/01/2017 - 22:19

    if using vodafone which will give better coverage and data speeds, MF910V or MF920V?

    • johnnyle on 19/01/2017 - 03:05

      Base on the manual of MG920v and the op:
      -MF920V covers more bands than MF910V
      _MF910V has better battery life (7 hours compare to 4 on MF920V)

  • guyvb on 19/01/2017 - 14:38

    Couple of interesting things I've learned playing with this device today:

    1. You can use it USB tethered for internet access, no wifi (only tested on a Win10 machine). I'm guessing it's only a USB 2 interface though, hence potentially running slower than the 4G connection.

    2. You can use additional MF910 units, without SIMs, as range extenders connected back to one with a SIM in it.

    • johnnyle on 19/01/2017 - 14:56
      +1

      yea, those are the basic function of these devices I think. I have 3 of them and all of them have.

    • leminhnguyen0703 on 21/01/2017 - 01:49

      Can you demonstrate how to use additional units as range extender ? Also, any chance it would also work for MF920v ?

      • johnnyle on 21/01/2017 - 13:47

        When you are out, it will use the data, but when u are at home or whatever wifi network you setup it to, it will automatically switch to that when in range. You can do that in the setting. if need more help you can just pm me.

  • yolow on 21/01/2017 - 17:02

    Anyone know if this will be compatiable or will able to use with a Asus RT-AC87U as a dual WAN/fail over connection?

  • x d on 23/01/2017 - 01:00

    Just unlocked mine. However, it wasn't a straight forward job of putting in another SIM and get internet. It was programmed to have Telstra as the default APN even if the SIM isn't telstra. Had to find out the APN setting for TPG (Vodafone), logged into the modem settings page, create a new APN profile, assigned that profile as default before reconnection to make internet work!!!

    Wouldn't be easy for those not aware of how to do this.

  • peuwayaqdq on 23/01/2017 - 15:29

    Can anyone confirm that this comes with data? Thanks.
