    • m2000 on 02/04/2013 - 18:39

      Yes, good for a short/local/interstate trip.
      When date do you need to activate it by (ie to get the 5GB)?

      • snappy1234 on 02/04/2013 - 18:49

        Can be Unlocked for around $10 (if going os and using 850/1900/2100 3G networks)
        see https://www.dc-unlocker.com/supported_models_1/zte

        (sim expires December 2014 on the one i got the other day at coles)
        but don't know how you will go getting the 5gb if you don't activate till then ;)

  • Baa on 02/04/2013 - 18:45

    I grabbed one of these today, been to 3 Coles and they are all out of stock. DSE are out of stock in the city (Perth) but have a few in Armadale.

    • tonester on 02/04/2013 - 19:06

      hope you asked coles for a raincheck :)

      • andyken on 02/04/2013 - 19:08

  • robo73 on 02/04/2013 - 19:12

    Can i connect this to a desktop PC that does not has wifi?

    • snappy1234 on 02/04/2013 - 19:34

      no…

      (but if you are handy its easy enough to add a wireless card to the PC (did mine for under $20 yumcha brand ;))

    • stonesour on 02/04/2013 - 20:17

      yeh quick googling says this unit is WIFI only and cant be used as a USB modem , so I'm on the lookout for the Pocketpro one instead

  • dirtybird on 02/04/2013 - 19:34

    Wonder if this will take the Aldi sim seeing as they use the telstra network or doesn't it work that way?

    • snappy1234 on 02/04/2013 - 19:40

      Damn wished i had tested mine on Aldi before Unlocking…oh well maybe i will buy another for shits and giggles haha.

    • razza on 02/04/2013 - 21:36

      Yeah I was wondering this too but with Kogan mobile?

    • blue_bug on 02/04/2013 - 22:01

      The one I got from Coles is reported as unlock out of the box by dc-unlocker.

      • unco on 02/04/2013 - 22:47

        I got one from Coles the other day too.
        How do you check with dc-unlocker? I downloaded it and it says it can't detect modem.
        I don't have to buy credits right?

        • snappy1234 on 02/04/2013 - 22:51

          i used windows 8 and had issues…admin rights on windows 7 works fine -source WPool)

          EDIT : don't buy credits till modem tells you its locked or not

        • unco on 02/04/2013 - 23:00

          Thanks for the prompt reply!

          SIM Lock status : unlocked

          I will try testing a Kogan and Virgin sim tomorrow and see if it is indeed unlocked.

        • unco on 03/04/2013 - 11:40

          Just tested a Vodafone sim at work and it didn't work :(
          Realised my Kogan sim is at home so gotta go back to test that tonight, but judging from the other comments it shouldn't be a problem which should open the door for Aldi sim users too.

        • unco on 04/04/2013 - 12:26

          Final update, as confirmed by bng99 below, worked without a problem with my Kogan sim.

    • bng99 on 02/04/2013 - 23:23

      ive used mine with kogan no issues

      havent even looked into unlocking with dc unlocker etc
      i just swapped the telstra sim with kogan one, and voila, works a treat

  • davidl2 on 02/04/2013 - 21:59

    thanks for posting this, was thinking of getting one from Coles but seem like the Coles deal expiring today….

    the DSE deal seem great for $0.50 more delivered

  • iamjohngalt on 03/04/2013 - 09:36

    Is this modem locked to Telstra ?

    • snappy1234 on 03/04/2013 - 09:44

      supposed to be locked but as we have been discussing not all are…

  • snappy1234 on 03/04/2013 - 09:45

    anyway not too many wifi modems in this pricepoint and around $10 to unlock…

  • [Deactivated] on 03/04/2013 - 12:20
    +1

    The DSE description doesn't explicitly mention 5gb included, whereas in some of their other modems it mentions xxgb for xx days. Can anyone confirm that it will definitely come with the 5 gb ?

    Don't mean to be paranoid….. Cheers

  • davidl2 on 04/04/2013 - 01:01

    anyone know where to get cheap unlock?

    cheapest I seen was $3 AUS to get it unlock as mentioned here: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/81740

    • killergreely on 10/04/2013 - 08:56

      Is that with the device locked or unlocked?

  • dsm ninja on 10/04/2013 - 09:24

    locked

  • bargrin on 10/04/2013 - 15:30

    Wouldnt a android phone with tethering optin be just as good as this wifi dedicated device?

    • killergreely on 10/04/2013 - 16:24

      Not if you already have a wifi modem and don't have an Android phone… :D

      The battery in these lasts longer and the connections are generally a little more robust. Also an Android will kill the hotspot if there's no traffic after <15 minutes. Plus you can use dedicated data plans in these, which are often cheaper. Not big issues to be sure.

      • bargrin on 10/04/2013 - 16:30

        Cool thanks cuase i got an old android that can tether so not going to buy this as well.

        Thanks
