Vivid Wireless are promoting a Christmas deal for new customers with a vividwireless USB modem and 2GB of bonus data for just $19 (inclusive of delivery). Normally $59 including delivery. Their coverage includes metro areas in Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney (but yous hould check before you buy). I think existing customers can also get this deal for a $10 additional device surcharge.
shame, was thinking I would do this, but no coverage in my area.
1) just to confirm this is a pre paid deal?
2) anyone know if the sim comes pre activated ? (Like amaysim)
Its pre paid, but what do you mean by SIM? Vivid is WiMAX 4G, and doesnt use SIM.
It says inc $10 delivery then later says plus $10 delivery charge.
Yeah, it's poorly worded. The modem is $9, and delivery is $10 = $19 total.
You can go onto a month-to-month plan, or just top-up whenever with a prepaid voucher. The latter is the more expensive option. Either way, there is no contract.
Aren't they shutting down the whole network at the end of February?
On checking. Perhaps only the Unwired part? http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2008333
Anyone actually with vivid that can give input to what the service is like?
$150, 15GB/0.5y..now even Kogan (Telstr 3g) beats out that. & I wanted to believe.
Just a heads up,if you sign up with Vivid month to month or on a plan and happen to know someone who is with them (such as myself :P) you can put their name down as a referer and you'll both get a month free.
