      I am in SA , I have hardly experience price beats this at officeworks prospect SA. If you can smoothly price beats it good or else you have to do strong voice as all is your right. They all will try to deny price beats. And the third time I back with show a store in my state (berri) has stock and talk to the boss there . He then call the store check the stock. Berri has 2 in stock, he have to do price beats for me and said will add delivery cost, I argued I buy you in store and not ask you delivery for me, and the store berri is in same state. Then I say louder I will buy all you have stock here(of course not). He then said I can’t as he has to keep stock for follow buy can have it. I said “you said it for yourself only and sure if someone else go in and ask to price beats, you guys all in this store will try all ways to deny the price beats even though you now have know Berri has 2 in stock. He then have to beat the price for me with 5% off so $4.76 for the modem even though I already have the Nokia fast smile 5g modem. Come on we are ozbargain, stay strong get your right as they (competitions) have us the right to price beats. Just a share hope can help other buyers can get it as that boss said he have a lot headaches with this today (they try deny a lot of people today). Cheer

      these sort of deals are always OOS in Vic

      • INFIDEL on 21/10/2021 - 09:08

        Not surprising. Its old out of date stock. So being cleared out. Few were in stores with stock elsewhere.

        But there are comments of finding stock in Vic… yesterday.

        The 50GB offer has expired 31/3/21 - shown in sticker on the box (but that has been removed from some packs).

  • SS625 on 20/10/2021 - 15:34

        yeah, interesting math they do. Original price is 99, 1/2 price tag on picture and total price …. $5 !

    Good price but no stock everywhere

    • INFIDEL on 20/10/2021 - 16:24

      Rare that older / clearance stock is available "everywhere".
      Stores near me all have stock - rang & checked.

      • Davbar24 on 20/10/2021 - 16:09

        Damn would have been good for cloud dashcam data but not with dodgy optus reception.

    • markh on 20/10/2021 - 16:11

      Has anyone already tried the unlock ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vB-V8g3Oy5U&ab_channel=Howto… - Mine shows as E5577 with optus branding in the webinterface straight out of the box.

      Only locked to the network. I've used cheaper Amaysim SIMs in previous models.

      • INFIDEL on 20/10/2021 - 19:50

        Inserted Amaysim SIM - shows as working. But SIM has no credit, so can't confirm will work.

      • isthisreallife22 on 20/10/2021 - 21:59

        I'd mainly want this for overseas travel tbh - so locked is unhelpful in that respect

    • Sheng on 20/10/2021 - 15:55

      Read this on Officeworks website:

      It includes 50GB start-up data and a starter SIM for use within Australia within 28 days of activation.

      within 28 days of activation

      • INFIDEL on 20/10/2021 - 16:00

        was told by Woolies it needed to be activated by 31/3/21 - explaining the price!

    • WorldClassMiser on 21/10/2021 - 09:07
      +4

      Why recharge? It's a modem. I just chuck the SIM out when the data is depleted and get a new starter kit (which lasts for 28 days) when on special at Woolies

  • INFIDEL on 20/10/2021 - 15:58

    Rang local store - confirmed @$5!
    1 available, next store has 5.
    On hold & picking 1 up.

    Too expensive, maybe $5 for 2 years then would probably consider it.

  • markh on 20/10/2021 - 16:08
    +3

    note: I had issue activating mine - cost me an extra $2 sim from nearest server for NEW optus sim. Then Optus transfered the 50GB to the new sim.

  • 9hundred on 20/10/2021 - 16:09

      Rubbish. Others found stock!
      Rang 2 nearby Brisbane stores.
      6 available within 3km of me.

  • INFIDEL on 20/10/2021 - 16:09

    Is it locked to Optus?
    SIM was supposed to be activated by 31/3/21 (told by Woolies staff)

    • markh on 20/10/2021 - 16:12
      +1

      that might explain the need for me to purchase a additional $2 optus sim to activate.

      • INFIDEL on 20/10/2021 - 16:15

        Good to know SIM can be used that way.
        Others might wait / check free Optus SIM Deals.

        • INFIDEL on 21/10/2021 - 09:43

          Really? Put in a SIM from a different network - "SIM LOCK".
          Discussed in old Deals & forums elsewhere - its locked to Optus.

        • INFIDEL on 21/10/2021 - 23:31

          Can't you read?
          The box states locked to Optus & unlocking fee applies!

          Oh that's right - you wrongly claimed there was none available anywhere!
          But people are still reporting they have found stock!

          Your comments are useless "rubbish"!

  • taki on 20/10/2021 - 16:12

    Would be good to be 5G, otherwise, we can use mobile tethering.

    • Nick K on 20/10/2021 - 16:42

      is this hotspot 4g or 5g?

      • taki on 20/10/2021 - 19:09

        According to OW info it's 4G, which most phones can share with hotspot (after you use the initial 50GB)

        • The Hobo on 20/10/2021 - 19:18

          Sure - but then you kill your phone battery pretty quickly - plus need to stay in the general area etc.

  • sub102 on 20/10/2021 - 16:27

    What does this do that a phone hotspot doesn't? I'm sure you can find 50GB introductory data for $5 these days eg. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/657995

    • Inyokuchi on 20/10/2021 - 16:29

      Coincidentally this is pretty helpful for my security system so I don't have to buy cameras with 4g in them rather I can use the wifi ones and use this for hotspot.

      • andresampras on 20/10/2021 - 16:44
        +1

        but the data only lasts for 28 days, according to a post above.

        • cski on 20/10/2021 - 18:21

          not if you use Optus data roll over or family sharing plan

    • wtfnodeal on 20/10/2021 - 16:33

      Use this so your phone battery doesn’t get drained up quickly.

    • nitens on 20/10/2021 - 16:59

      Usually these have external antenna ports to boost signal strength in weak signal areas (although this model doesn't have this) and support more devices simultaneously connected (I think this one will do 15).

    • Kremmen on 20/10/2021 - 17:55
      +2

      The main advantage is that it's not your phone.

      I've been in buildings where mobile data signal is awful. Sitting one of these on the windowsill (preferably plugged into a USB power source) is convenient. Having to leave your phone on the windowsill all the time or have all your devices lose connectivity is way less convenient.

      Must have bought there just after you - had 1 put aside. Was told they were all sold.

      They had 5 when I rang an hour ago. Was told there was no need to put 1 on hold, as no one was going to buy it!

      Next Woolies at Mt Gravatt Plaza still has 1 (cnr Creek & Logan Rds)

    • INFIDEL on 20/10/2021 - 17:27

      Contact Optus, as Woolies advertises it as "Optus Huawei Pocket Wifi & 50gb Data ".

    • INFIDEL on 20/10/2021 - 19:56

      Plenty were available near me (5 @Carindale, 1 @Mt Gravatt Plaza) - 20min after Deal posted, so put 1 on hold. Otherwise would have gone to store to buy an hour before you. Lucky I didn't, otherwise I might have bought yours as well ;-)

    • Chris T on 20/10/2021 - 22:26

      I just went to WW Kenmore and was told there are none left. Website still says In stock at this store.

      • INFIDEL on 20/10/2021 - 22:42

        Stock details are up to 2hr old. Likely incorrect info on stock system. Most Brisbane stock is long gone.

        • brisdaz on 21/10/2021 - 10:03

          Is that based on internal systems? QLD Coorparoo was out of stock as of 5:30 (according to staff that night).
