Hi all,
I have some oversea guests next month and is looking at a portable wifi solution.
I have done some research and Telstra 4G My Pocket Wi-Fi Plus @ $79 + 3GB of data to use in Australia within 30 days seems like a good deal to me.
I think I can re-use the device with Amaysim data pack ($99.90 for 10GB within 365 days) later by changing the SIM card.
What do you guys think of my strategy? Tips welcomed.
2 people but I also need to setup an Internet TV in the hotel room for them when I'm not around. So I have to consider a data pack as it is cheaper than hotel wifi.
Check that the Telstra one does not remain locked to Telstra SIMs after the 30 days - Amaysim is in the Optus camp so may not work in the Pocket Wi-Fi after the 30 days. The ALDI data SIM is Telstra and OK valuealso.
That is great info, will check ALDI SIM out. Thanks debo.
Woolworths has the Telstra USB + Wifi dongle for $19.50 this week.
Telstra 3G USB+WI-FI
• 1GB I 30 days expiry to use within Australia
• Connect up to 5 Wi-Fi devices.
I would imagine you could plug it into any usb wall port charger if no one is using a laptop (however I am not completely sure of this). It would be locked to Telstra as well but this guy: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/167230 can unlock it for $12. I bought one this morning but haven't tried it / or tried the unlock yet.
Its only 3g but thats all you will get from amaysim anyway.
why not start with the Target deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/167125
Elite MF60 Wi-Fi Prepaid Modem + 1GB Data $15 starts tomorrow.
I don't know how easy that one is to unlock but would like to know since I'm planning on grabbing one.
I just unlocked the mf70 via dc unlocker, it was $10 and fairly easy.
Woolies this week telstra 3gb data 3g only. 1/2 price $19.50
Wifi package with leads power adapter
How many are they using the wifi thingo? If its just 1-2 might come out cheaper to buy a local sim and use the data of that, or if youve got a lot of data and will be with your guests most of the time then you can share your data with them.
