VF Pocket WiFi 3GB 3G $19 at Coles

340

Similar to this deal by Trent, the Pocket Wifi's are again $19 each. Fine print claims that the data expires after 30 days, presumably after activation. Limit of 1 per customer as well. Seems like a good deal if you can activate it later on!

EDIT: I should note that this was found on the back of today's mx magazine.

    No stock near me :(
    The usual form from Coles "we're only a small store, we don't get a big allocation"

  • How easy/hard is it to unlock these?

    • +2

      Believe it or not, I think they're unlocked. I just put in a TPG/Optus SIM into mine and it picked up the network fine, according to the display on it. I haven't tried doing data with it though.

      • Hmm OK.

        • +2

          From the comments of the last deal, it should be unlocked already, if it's not, you can get the code from Vodafone online.

        • @awoff1: Thanks! Also thanks eug.

          Does anyone know the frequency on it (i.e will it work with Telstra)

  • Got the 4g pocket wifi on voda's m2m plan. $20 for 2.5gb for the first month and the modem to keep after cancellation.. Amazed at 4g speeds..

    • 4G is Australias fastest internet (besides NBN and Extreme cable) but they're rare.

    • Sub 100 ms tends to lend itself well to Skype.

      Further, don't forget what could be Australa's cheapest months [ 6.60/mo]

    If your local coles has no stock you can raincheck, we did one of these from the last deal, came in about a week later

      Good. I sent my wife in this morning (after she did the dishes) and they didn't know what she was talking about.
      Only joking… I got her to do the dishes after.
      (No, seriously I actually do most of the dishes and shopping but she was doing the shopping today.)

  • Bought last stock Hurstville\westfield plus rainchecked at station there another for when 30days depleted. Feels a solid unit compared Mf60.

  • Northpark Coles in Prospect, SA is out, but the Churchill Centre still has them.

  • Anyone checked the Richmond, VIC store for stock of these?

  • +3

    You can also pick them up in KMart for $19.50, limited stock.

    • confirmed also for sale for $19.50 at KMart. I bought 2 just now from Kmart Parramatta. The staff there was shocked considering the tag on the display said $59.

  • Just picked one up at greenacres SA

  • Persistent.. went to Coles near Warwick Farm NSW no stock, the counter lady made call to Coles Wattle Grove no stock.. after I made my own call to Coles Wattle Grove and magically they had 2 stocks! managed to grab 1.. good luck if you are after the last one there.. Vodafone outlet is selling this for 29.95 (they asked if I have an account with them first)

  • anyone has use this modem overseas?

    • +1

      It's unlocked, so I don't see any reason why you can't use this overseas. (Using Telstra atm)

      • Thanks mate

    Got one from Victoria gardens, VIC as of yesterday. None in Glenferrie or Westfield Doncaster.

    • I'm outraged. I rang Thursday night and they said they had none !

  • Bought one for $19. It's already unlocked. Works with a Dodo SIM.

    • Mine said "limited service" . Is it mean it locked? It show yes optus on the screen but no signal at all. (:

      • Have you changed the APN?

  • Called up East Gardens Coles in Pagewood NSW and had one put aside. Don't know if they had/have any more stock.

    • Bought, despite my asking they took one off the shelf without checking for the one they said over the phone they'd hold for me & there were two left as well as a couple of most catalogue phone products.

      And, can the SIM be used in an unlocked LTE device to get Vodafone 4G mobile broadband?

  • 2 left at N Rocks KMart after I bought mine:)
    None at N Rocks Coles

    as a long time ozbargainer, I wasn't going to give up easily. Went to Coles and it was sold out. Same with Kmart. Then went to Big W @ Box Hill, asking for a price match. Got one for $19.50

  • Just bought another set at kmart for backup after Coles sold out. 50cents dearer but beats the crap outta paying full price at $59!

  • Cheers OP - grabbed one from my local Coles earlier today…was unlocked out of the box :)

  • There were still some on the rack at Coles Waratah (Newcastle NSW) after I bought mine this morning.
    Great deal, especially considering it is unlocked. Thanks OP.
