Are Optus 4G/5G Modems Network Locked?

Want to buy a 2nd hand for my Vodafone SIM card

  • 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.

    • Optus will unlock them for free?

      • yeah 6 months after sale. my Optus 5g router was never locked btw.

    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.

    Depends on the modem. The B818 is not locked and neither is the Netgear 810 , some of the other modems are 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.
