We have a couple of elderly family members who like to use the net just to check their TAB bets and email. Found this great deal via Lasoo for an Optus pre-paid USB startup kit. Pretty sure they can also change over to Amaysim once the 1GB is used up too. Postage up to QLD for us is $9.

    Looks good.
    What model USB modem did it come with?

      It appears to be the Huawei E160E. (if the picture on their website is accurate)

        .
        I think the E160 has a more squared off look to it.

      It looks like an Huawei E1762.

      30 days is pretty standard.

    Live Connection might be a better way to go for the rest of us… or maybe Virgin Mobile's broadband…?

    Not really a bargain, but a good deal, DSE had Vodafone dongles for $19, and probably still do.

      I posted mainly because of the ongoing costs associated would be lower once switched to Amaysim. I bought the $19 Vodafone one also as we are still waiting for our ADSL to come across but the ongoing recharge with Vodafone is more.

    For low usage, the DODO Starter will give you 12 months access, at least 250MB month.

    Got one for $28 from Bing Lee months ago. Double Punched (incl. Micro) SIM for iPad etc.

      thanks for this one, I needed around 100mb a month for a failover for an internet based eftpos machine.
      This will work beutifully.

      My next option was a savytel sim that had credit that doesnt expire and 5c per MB. This one is much better

    is it possible to unlock?

      Yes apparently. Search for it.

    This looks like a repeat of the April offer http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/68323 - though shipping then was $4 Aus wide

    Also please note the old deal was 15 days expiry on the data.
    I am guessing this will be the same.
