Optus will unlock them for free?
yeah 6 months after sale. my Optus 5g router was never locked btw.
thanks for sharing this👍
I would go against that and buy an unlocked OEM 5G dongle instead. Some come with built-in battery.
You don't need to worry about things being locked and if you ever go travel overseas, it should work also.
I have had optus 4g modem few years back. they were never locked.
I have a VividWireless (later Optus) Huawei 4G router which is not locked, I have used all sorts of sims on that.
b818 4g modem should be unlocked
Vodafone one usually comes out unlocked, e.g.
Depends on the modem. The B818 is not locked and neither is the Netgear 810 , some of the other modems are locked.
Prepaid are usually locked
Finally I got the vodafone monthly $69 plan, which provides 720G data.
With a 2nd 5g modem less than $100, download speed around 230M, happy with it
I got my unlock code by messaging UNLOCK to 9999. Was quite easy.
Would need more info into which Optus modem are you looking at, they usually are locked but I believe if you contact Optus they can unlock it.
