So I've been trying to get my hands on a portable wifi device. The Vodaphone deal at Big W was ideal, but all the local stores to me had sold out. So I was looking around. The one on the Vodaphone site is $52, this beats it by $3 :D.
I was able to unlock it for a further $13 through DC unlocker and it's now working perfectly with my Telstra Pre-Paid sim.
I'll post a pic of the receipt when I get home from work.
how much are you selling it for?
$30 if any of you want this. it is available at chatswood . Or i can mail to you at your cost.
you can get price beaten at ow

did that a few months ago when dicksmith did it @39.50
Unfortunately none of my local Officeworks stocked them either :(. But yeh if you can do that! This is for those that are running out of options due to stock.
Vodafone, lol.
this is the correct spelling
It sure is. Not what I was laughing at… ;)
you were laughing its network, weren't you? :)
No, never!</sarcasm>
I'd be more interested in an ASUS WL330N3G, that I could plug any 3G dongle into (eg, ones that come with a few GB's of data).
MSY's price of $72 seems a bit much for it… Any lower prices around?
(It does 6 different things, including acting as a WiFi access point for the dongle you want to share via WiFi.)
Not sure if this will work on the Telstra Next-G network.
Office Works specs say:
"Network Support: HSUPA/HSDPA 2100/900"
My understanding was that Next-G HSUPA ran on 850MHz.
Anyone care to confirm or contradict this unit's Next-G capability?
Are you referring to pocketwifi2 or ASUS router? If it's pocketwifi, it is definiely 850mhz supported
The ASUS WL-330N3G "6-in-1" is small & works well.
(Use included CD for quickest install & full manual; getting started sheet only covers some of the 6 functions.)
One issue: How to configure it for secure WiFi access, ie, -from- the device? (By default, it configues for Open Access… very risky / potentially costly when using 3G mobile Internet.)
(Oh, it could -maybe- run [too?] hot in Summer… Keep it cool.)
Yes, but this is Vodafail.
anyone want pocketwifi2? I have 2 spare one. both brand new. contact [email protected] if you interested.
I am based in Chatswood. Thanks.
*device only, no data included. It is curretnly locked with Vodafone, but I can help ….
