Optus e5573 4G WiFi Modem $29.50 (50% off) at Woolworths Online

Following from the comments on this deal, this would be the better one to get compared to the two models listed on that deal?

Not sure if nationwide?

    good device. I got one last year for this price.

    excuse the ignorance, but why would you choose this over the newer 5577 for the same price?

      I believe this one is not locked to Optus

      Apparently this one supports 5Ghz wifi whereas the E5577 doesn't

    Have had one of these for a while now and can report that I successfully used in the EU with a EU-Vodafone sim (paris had pretty bad reception though). Bought in 2015 and battery life lasts 3/4 of a day out sightseeing after having neglected it in the back of a drawer for a over a year. Highly recommend.

  • Mizone on 04/12/2018 - 15:45

    Will this be an upgrade on an old e5786 from a few years ago?

    Wait OP, could you please share the link where you found E5573 $29.50 on Woolworths.com.au ? I think E5577 is what they're advertising.

    Let alone the differences (which are quite significant), we better first ensure the accuracy of this deal.

    • ozhunter68 on 04/12/2018 - 21:05

      That's what I think also going on the photo from catalogue, it shows newer model with display.

    • Moderatormoocher on 05/12/2018 - 09:19

      Deal has been updated to E5577

  • 190978314 on 04/12/2018 - 15:49

    It’s show on my end on Woolworths website still $59, (vic)

    Noob question, can these be used as a usb modem?

    • vvti85 on 04/12/2018 - 16:03

      yes

    Showing temporarily unavailable

      You need to log in to your Woolworths online account first

  • ifuggedxyz on 04/12/2018 - 16:13

    The Woolworths system acts very strangely. I have ordered at the discounted price $29.50 at Woolworths Booragoon (WA). However when I change to other store locations, it would show the standard price. Not sure why, but the discounted price looked to be available only at the Booragoon (WA) store?

  • sean85 on 04/12/2018 - 16:53

    n00b question - can you put a sim that has both voice and data to use DATA?

    • isdnman on 04/12/2018 - 17:09

      Sure.

    • moto on 04/12/2018 - 17:10

      Yes. I'm using a contract Optus iPhone XS sim card and can confirm it works just for data. Something else that you can use but I don't use it is that you can also access txt messages using the modems homepage address.

      • sean85 on 04/12/2018 - 17:19

        Thank you! The modem seems unavailable now on WW:(

  • [Deactivated] on 04/12/2018 - 17:43

    Doesn’t work, shows 59$

  • slackme on 04/12/2018 - 23:00

    I have one and used it in Japan without problem. About 6 hours usage.

  • ifuggedxyz on 05/12/2018 - 15:02

    This deal is definitely for the E5573 and not E5577, and it is still showing $29.50 for me - see this

    And once added to the cart, available for pickup from Booragoon WA - see this

    • Moderatormoocher on 05/12/2018 - 15:26

      Reverted back to E5573 and marked as [WA].

  • zfind on 07/12/2018 - 10:42

    Is this unlocked? I’d like to to use a Telstra contract sim in it for data.

    • ifuggedxyz on 07/12/2018 - 12:15

      According to various comments on this deal, yes it is unlocked.

      I have purchased one yesterday, but yet to check. Will know for sure tonight, and will report back :)

      • zfind on 07/12/2018 - 13:24

        Thanks, looking forward to your findings.

        Can these be bought walk-in from a Woolworths without ordering online?

        • Magic Mirror on 07/12/2018 - 13:56

          I can confirm it's unlocked (bought from Woolworths a few weeks ago). I've been using Kogan and Boost (Telstra) sims in it.

          You can walk in and buy, that's how I bought mine (ask at the front service desk). Your problem might be finding stock, as it may not be stocked in every store.
