    "Valued at $29.95"

    Why must you do this?! Bluetooth dongles can be had for as little as $2 - and I don't think I have seen one for more than $20 in YEARS!

    Thanks for the instant reason to not trust you (or your business).

    • That's a bit harsh, don't you think?

      • +1

        Depends how you look at it really… I already am very weary of businesses who promote people "spamming" their family / friends. Add in a little "value" dishonesty and you have the makings of a business that I don't want to deal with.

        But that's just me… Cynical, sceptical and distrusting - but if I am wrong and all goes well, then more power to you! :)

      • nope

    • +3

      Thank you DeviousBastard :) That was the price I saw them for on a competitive website Dick Smith actually sell them for $79!

      • i was the 5th person to like the page. wat now?

      • +13

        lol funny how you saw dvsbastard as DeviousBastard.

      • +2

        lol funny how you completely ignore all the questions about how we actually claim.

        • +1

          I wasnt ignoring you stumo, I just didnt get to you fast enough…So sorry bout that!

  • yes what now.

  • what happens after I 'like' it

  • yum-cha bt dongles go for around $2 from focal/dealextreme etc but brand name ones are worth more, of course they all seem to come from the same factory, they just have different packaging….
    ps thanks! but how do you claim it, voucher by email?

    • Hi morpheu,

      Did you manage to email me as yet? If not please see the facebook page for my email address as I don't think I am allowed to leave it here.

      Kind Regards

  • I was number 52! :-)

    • 74 here… now what?

      • 66th - Now we wait :)

  • Ok, I said "like". Where the hell is the form to fill out my shipping adress to claim gift?
    Surely, FB wouldn't pass this details to third parties automatically?

    • you are correct.

      Also I doubt you can tell the order in which likes were added to a page, so they are going to want to be sitting there hitting refresh and then take a screenshot when it hits 100.

    • Did I email you already? I recall emailing 'wolf' If not Please get my email address from the facebook page and send me your details.

      • Lois, that was me, the real Wolf that you emailed!
        wolfenator87 is just an impostor!

  • Worth about $1.38 which was what I paid for my BT dongle including shipping from HK. Worked fine.

  • how to claim?

    • Please check the facebook page as to emailing myself and supplying your postal details :)

  • and we have hit 100 likes.. Mods please mark this as expired.

    I think I'm 98. How can I check it?

    • You can't. You just need to hope that they took a screenshot when they hit 100.
      I doubt they were that smart.

    • Don't worry I can check when each person came in as a like :)

  • wow!

          I revoked my neg as I received email from them after sending an email this morning. They said dongle would be posted next Monday. Seems good to me. Thanks.

        • -1

          Got the same email. I will revoke once I have the dongle.

          I'm still annoyed at the way it was handled - the ignoring of the requests of how to claim was pretty bad form. Followed by the whole facebook "like" thing, that's so 2008.

          @ stumo

    thanks BlueSim

  • i like facebook

  • Anyone got their dongle yet? Still waiting on mine.

  • Just an update regarding these dongles, I have not sent any out as yet, I was waiting for you all to send me your details so I could process these as fast as I can through our postal service which requires us to process them all at once for mass delivery but I am needing everyones details guys!…I will give you all till Wednesday then unfortunately will be processing these Dongles so the qualifying participants can receive their freebie gift.
    Sorry for this delay guys, Learnt my lesson though…next time I shall write 'first 100 to 'like' and send me their details at the same time qualifies'.

    Kindest of Regards

    BlueSIM

    • i sent you my details straight after.

  • So…

    Anyone get their dongle yet?

    • nope i believe this was a scam. They just wanted the freaken likes on facebook.

      • Actually let me update what happened…I will also put this on our facebook page :)
        We had a few hundred Dongles in our office and yes we ran this exclusively to get ‘likes’ for our new facebook page and to build a face for us…while all this was going on we all got one in the offices to try but a few of them ended up being faulty! So…while I was still getting addresses from you guys of where to send we were frantically trying to find some more dongles to compensate for the faulty lot we got given…the first company we tried ended up being faulty for WIN XP so we had to find another supplier, finally found one on ebay so had to end up buying one each from this supplier and sending them out one at a time…I completed sending them all out yesterday…so there you have it! Definitely a lesson learnt for us here at BlueSIM! So sorry for appearing misleading and taking so long to fulfil our end of the deal.
        Thank you all for understanding and being ever so patient! We appreciate your support!

        • So u bought dongles from ebay and sent them our way. Can i ask you whether this is still worth $29.95 that you guys initially said. If so can you provide the link from ebay u got this from.

  • Hi Rack,
    Not sure if this is going to 'reply' to your message or just add a new message but I can't se a reply under your message only vote and report, so i'll comment here…
    Yes we purchased Dongles from Ebay, The price I got for $29.95 is retail price I found online as we buy them from suppliers not retail…so any Dongle could be worth $29.95 some are worth $79.99 (dick smith) but if you really need to know what they are worth retail I can ask the supplier what theier RRP is…although I have no idea why you need this for seems to me like you are trolling…Did you give me your address to send one?
    Maybe you should re-read your question…

    "Can i ask you whether this is still worth $29.95 that you guys initially said."

    Its still a dongle so yes they are 'worth' that…I don't understand why you are just trying to get a negative reading…

  • Wow man thanks for biting me for asking a simple question. And no i am not trolling. The reason i ask is becuase there are usb dongles that are selling on ebau for $1.99 and this is not what you offered. I am assuming this dongle is just not one of those cheap chinese crappy versions that are retailing for cents. You said this sells for $29.99 and in dicksmith of $79. Any links? What brand. And yes i did send you the details soon after i liked your page. And as you might have noticed i am yet to post anything negative.

    • Ok, well sorry if I misunderstood your comment, as I was answering I was jut thinking to myself why is this guy not being grateful for a free dongle…anyway just my thoughts…From my original post, advertising the dongles I didnt even say what brand they were, I don't even know if they were a brand and the ones from dicksmith would have to be dicksmith right? so obviously they put their markup after receiving them from the supplier which I would imagine IS in china then just add their own retail price of $79.99…
      Also, I didnt say what price WE are buying them at I just said what they are WORTH…I am giving you exactly what I offered…I havent deviated at all I have never said what price we paid for them I have just said what they are worth…
      Ok, so for the links…did you want me to google and find rrp for the dongles and paste the links here? Is that what you are asking? Because thats what I did to begin with…I had no idea what the RRP was as well as what the heck a dongle was so I googled the RRP and what it did…
      What Brand? I would imagine it has no brand because its from a supplier? Not a retailer? Don't know if you understand that…But if you are a company you purchase from a supplier who sell the exact same products to other companies then they just put their 'brand' on it other than that they don't have abrand until a 'company' puts their branding on…hope this answers your question…Im sure when you receive your free dongle you can tell me more about it.
      And also yet to post anything negative?
      "nope i believe this was a scam. They just wanted the freaken likes on facebook." is quoted from you already…Have a great day!

      • I think the point you're missing is that a $30 dongle would be branded from a well known company, Netgear, Belkin, etc. Sure they all come from the same places, but it means they test it and ensure the quality and materials are up to scratch before they put their name on it.

        If you had of been honest and said "valued at $1.99" ie. one of those crap ones from eBay/DealExtreme I doubt you'd have gotten many "likes". I wouldn't have given out my details for such a low price. I get the feeling I've been cheated.

        • sush..don't complaint. You are going to get told of by the Blue sim almighty who thinks we should be thankful to him for giving us a free dongle. You talking about RRP..he didn't even know what a dongle was. He had to google it.

  • @Stume:lol yes part of your message is correct stumo…my bad for putting what they are worth I should have found out the price we paid for it and told you that instead…Next time I shall just write who wants a free dongle…don't worry there wont be a next time lol, obviously we done the wrong thing buy doing that offer I see that now, All I hope is that you all receive the free dongles that we wanted to give to you all.
    I wasnt dishonest I didnt know what they were worth so, like I said I googled it…and came up with that value price…Im really sorry that I made you feel like you have been cheated.
    @rack…I am a girl…so..
    "You are going to get told of by the Blue sim almighty who thinks we should be thankful to HER for giving us a free dongle. You talking about RRP..SHE didn't even know what a dongle was. SHE had to google it"
    Sorry if I come across like I am telling you off lol I thought I was being very diplomatic and factual…Oh well Hometime! :D

    • Sorry my apologies. Maybe i should have said "You are going to get told of by the Blue sim almighty who thinks we should be thankful to IT for giving us a free dongle. You talking about RRP.IT didn't even know what a dongle was. IT had to google it"

  • Got the bluetooth today delivered straight FROM singapore. It looks like our names and address were passed onto a third party who then supplied the products directly to us.

    "so had to end up buying one each from this supplier and sending them out one at a time…I completed sending them all out yesterday"

    hmmmmm….

    The exact image of this product is http://img.inkfrog.com/pix/kangdigital/10423.jpg selling for $1.30 delivered on ebay. I've seen it for $0.01 here on OZbargain or $0.99 delivered. Mind you the dongle i got was unbranded as well.

    Still don't get where the RRP's or dicksmith price came from..

    But hey it's a freebie.

  • For an IT company you sure don't know a lot. No wonder you need to give stuff away for people notice you. NEG from me, first one sadly :(

  • I got mine today too, almost forgot who/where it came from.

  • Remember to "unlike" their Facebook page too.

    What a Dodgey outfit this is.
    1. Selling snake oil cordless phones.
    2. Misleading us with BS RRP.
    3. Giving out our personal details to 3rd (4th, 5th… nth) parties.
    4. Profit - yeah right.

    Ps I didn't even get my $0.99 dongle, not that I care.

  • I got one from Singapore as well. It is the same as the one I bought before from DealExtreme, worth <$1 including shipping.

  • Just received!
