Was waiting for this. Using Optus atm so what do people think? Can I have luck unlocking it ?
yes, no trouble at all. Try your luck on the Voda site to see if you can jag free unlocking (most don't but it's worth a try, as a few have managed to do so.) Otherwise do a search here for pocketwifi 2 - there's a link in a couple of those threads for someone who will do it for $15
Can unlock with DC Unlocker or via code from ebay for about $10.
tried looking on ebay but couldnt get the code..do you have any link ..can you please post the link..

This is one, and there are other sellers.
Huawei E585 (which is listed there) is pocket wifi 1, which can be easily unlocked for free.
Pocket Wifi 2 is model E585U-82 and a whole different kettle of fish.
.
Is this wifi modem as same as (http://shop.vodafone.com.au/broadband-details/Pocket-WiFi-Pr… ) the second generation or the first generation? Any one knows?
Good question. Forget about this version thing and thought it's Pocket wifi 2. Anyone can confirm ?
Its pocket wifi2. The new version
I can confirm that it is version 2. They ran out of stock in Melbourne city and Sunshine, VIC though.
Raincheck maybe?
They don't offer raincheck, I asked this morning. Anyway, I managed to get one from South Yara.
They were sold out at south yarra this morning when I went. Also called southland and they are out of stock.
price-match with catalogue at officeworks or elsewhere?
Officeworks do not have the 3GB one .. also, to price match, the competitor has to have stock
Noob question, can I use the sim in my phone and put it in the pocket wifi? Will this work?
Thanks
Should work, as long as the sim is normal (not micro-sim) and its of Vodafone
I called up BigW Altona this morning, they said they have a few left. after that I called up 1555 and see if they can beat it. I was offered $39 for the first month with 4gb of data and $29 month per month. but I plan to cancel it after the first month because I don't use that much data. I have two post paid with Voda
Thanks saurav for confirmation.
Thanks, picked up the last one at Mildura. Unlocked via the Vodafone website without much grief. From the Whirlpool thread it was suggested going straight home and unlocking straight away before activating, which worked for me.
Vodafone website has it for $34 now, just noticed.
Wow would not want to get this @$79 regular…
Built into my Android anyway.
