Price beat at Officeworks, currently $37.00
Yes as @Proliferation said last post -
Also handy for cheap sim deals to use the data if you don't have a dual sim phone. Not everyone has / wants a home broadband plan. I've got a family member using one with Catch 90 day sims when they're on special for $20. So that's $80 a year for their home internet needs.

Thats concerning… Before I would get 1/2 price optus sims from Coles and use the email hack but eventually signed up for 5G broadband cause of my living situation. Having unlimited 5G internets has been way less of a burden than constantly switching out sims and registering them, and having limited data cap. I don't wanna be stuck in the 90s let alone the 2000s with 56k/adsl(1/2) speeds. Burn the heretic who forsakens me to such a meager internet connection 😂
I seem to remember similar price deals back then too
I remember these coming with 3 months free netflix credit. Ended up buying about 15 of these and years of free netflix.
Cex also bought the new units for a $1 profit
Free netflix with Optus ??
Blast from the past haha.
I chucked a couple of them in the last cleanup.
Not many people would have spare Sim cards with decent GB lying around in case the internet goes out.
Can see handy if traveling somewhere with no internet and a lot of devices or something. At least get an unlocked one and could maybe use overseas but there are better travel routers around.
is there any 5G USB Modem recommended?
Looking for one as well
Can this one plug into the laptop straight away so that I can use internet for the laptop?
Yes, just beware it's Optus locked as mentioned in the description but should work with an Optus reseller like Catch & Coles Mobile etc.
How do you unlock it and how much it costs?
Thanks
I had a similar one from ZTE and it costed me around $4 via eBay. Price really depends on modem number.
Don't forget an additional 10% off with code XSEP2024
I bought one these from coles optus locked. I got the unlock code from optus but I cannot find any info on how to unlock for the model I have
Device name E3372h-608
Hardware versionCL2MS2372HM02
Software version10.0.5.1(H195SP2C74)
Web UI versionWEBUI 10.0.5.1(W13SP2C74)
I read through the tutorial here for E8372h-608 but I cannot find the firmware for the device I have on the internet. Can anyone help please.
I would pay $3 on eBay not to go through that ordeal, if there is a $3 eBay deal
Can you explain further
How much it costs for the unlock code??
It was free. I message optus on 9999 with "MENU"
Awesome, thanks.
I picked up one of these to use with the GL.iNet travel router (GL-A1300) as it's often easier to use a router to share the 4g with multiple devices. The modem worked great overseas, but as pointed out in the description the modem is locked to Optus. I had to do the online chat to get it unlocked. The unlock was free, but it was a pain to find out whilst already travelling.
Yes agree Optus chat staff in general won't have an idea about this and had to escalate to back end staff to get the code. It was painful explaining how to unlock the modem and get the code
Got similar one from telstra and unlocked after 2 years. Works great. Used it in india for couple of weeks.
Check your local coles ,they may have E3372 for $5 clearance ,offer exp DEC 31
These things are still used? This is a flashback of 10 years ago
