Check eBay, there's plenty of cheaper unlocked devices for sale, but they don't come with a SIM or voucher.
Same brand?
Nah but same functionality except they're not network locked.
To note - Charger: microUSB
Finally, a use for all my old MicroUSB cables!!
I use mine for charging usb fans to keep external hard drives cool, plus some security cameras still have microusb for power (totally dumb but hey its a good use for all those crappy old power adapters too)
Retro cool
I must be ultra-cool with all the USB Type B connected devices I have around my desk. Hell, quite a few have D-Sub.
is there any cheap one with USB-C?
ThanksNah nah nah… Even my soap dispenser uses USB C
these things havent changed since i was in uni - i remember having one eons ago
I guess if it ain't broke don't fix it.
They want $5 for delivery to the post office?
So I'm paying $5 for click and collect? TF.
I thought AusPost had moved from their shady ways since Cartier-gate with Christine Holgate..
Couldn't you just walk in store and buy it?
Closest AusPost with stock was about 10min up the road.
I'm not willing to ride up in 33° Melbourne weather to grab one right now.. 😅
Nobody said being a tight arse was easy.
@WatchNerd: OzB holds a pretty good fake perception.. 😅
Until.. it's hot enough to cook an egg on the driveway and you have to fight off other OzB chubby buddies for the last shelf item. 😂
@WasBargain: Can you really call yourself and ozbargainer if not will to step over your grandmother for a bargain?
@robyoung82: We buy them in bulk, normally 30 at a time but we hardly ever eat eggs. We can normally plan around it. I only go to that area (in a car) when I need to pick up chopchop for my old man.. 😅
Is there a way to check stock nearby without ringing?
@Geekomatic: In checkout it says where you can grab them from locally, but still charges $5 as a "delivery" to that store.. I couldn't even get it delivered to an even closer AusPost to me.. Ain't that some BS.
Is that you, Scomo?
Nah, it's me dictator dan.
You seem very confused Klaus - carry on.
Free standard delivery Australia-wide on orders $30+.
I got a standalone Tenda AC1200 4+ router from eBay a few years ago, completely unlocked and never had any issues using standard Sim cards in it, never flagged by telcos.
I used Felix for about 2yrs, near 1TB per month, no warnings.
Interested in this option. Can you post a link? (Tenda seems to have numerous options)
I believe it was the Tenda 4G07 AC1200, I would have paid around $100 after coupons.
Is it still working with Felix? I read on OzB that they started cracking down in that kinda thing last year
I stopped using Felix before that, my experience is up until 2yrs ago.
However, I gave it to my father who has been using it with Felix unlimited since and last time I checked as of a couple months ago, he had no warnings either.
OOS online.
Can someone who buys this put a Telstra or Optus sim in & see if it's actually locked please?
Most likely unlocked.
Back on stock. Bough one and a $1 pen to qualify for delivery. Total cost $30. THank YOu OP.
OOS again.
Can anyone please help me understand why are people buying this when there are plenty of unlocked options like this in AliExpress (for example)
https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005006059021395.html?spm=a2g…
It comes with a $50 Prepaid plus starter pack which cost $30 from Vodafone website currently. So with a dollar less you are getting the starter pack and you are getting the modem for free.
Sorry if being dumb. Just trying to understand.
Can we buy the other unlocked pocket wifi and use with boost Sim ? Which gives free data and unlocked router as well.
You are correct. I swap between Boost and (sometimes) Vodafone, so for me I am getting the $50 starter pack (85GB and 1500 international minutes to Zone 1 which are my use case) for $29 only plus the modem. Vodafone is selling the $50 starter pack for $30 currently without the modem.
@Yogi555: No. Only Vodafone. Because I use vodafone between Boost Mobile, this is good price for me. Also I assume that the quality of Vodafone router is better than the non branded one which are sold elsewhere.
Is the starter pack 365 days? Can't find any reference
$50 SP that can used for 28 days (heavy usage) or 365 days (long expiry). Last year I scored one for $19 and one for $10 (final clearance) as mentioned here.
The lastest model is WIFI 4.
Thanks for that! Hopefully use the random included sim in a car tracker I randomly bought last week.
Remeber this deal and the mobile router version from 10 odd years ago.
I think they were $19 each and you got like 100gb back then. Ive got about 6 of these floating around.
Can I have one - vic
OOS :(
Juat wondering if anyone got confirmation of purchase? My payment went through on Paypal but I never received any email to confirn purchase..
I remember pocket wifis being popular a decade ago but curious why are people still buying these when your mobile can do hotspot and most likely 5G aswell…
How do these work? They take a sim card obviously? How do I get it to use the same data that I get with my Vodafone plan?
1) This is a portable router
2) to use the same data you get with your current vodafone plan, please remove your SIM from your phone, then insert it into the pocket wifi.What if I have an e-sim? Can I get a SIM card from Vodafone that’ll use the data from my phone plan?
I don't know how they can sell these and they are not 5G compatible
Just received the Pocket wifi and can confirm it's unlocked as it's working with Boost sim without any issues.
Can this be un-locked for a small amount of fee ?
