    Anyone know what 3G speeds this device is? I know some are rated at 7.2mbps, 24mbps, 48, etc.

    Either way, 8GB for $19 is a deal in its self.. If the device is decent ontop of that, that's a massive plus.

      You get 3 with the device then a bonus 8gb :)

      Huawei R207 - HSPA+ 21 Mbps?

      • [Deactivated] on 22/08/2015 - 07:57

        That one states up to 10 devices connected, this one's only 5. I'd assume it's a 7.2mbps model.

      I have the device from this deal and it is 21Mbps.
      Also, 19GB data.

      • [Deactivated] on 22/08/2015 - 13:17

        19GB?? That is much more appealing…

  • tomcat83 on 22/08/2015 - 02:15

    if the extra 8g sim actually turns out to be 8+8 like the other deal then this is an excellent deal. even if it doesn't its fantastic

    • juzz0 on 22/08/2015 - 04:24

      The other deal? Meaning the $39 deal (which was over double the price)? I purchased that about ten days ago brought it home but the store worker forgot to give me the extra sim (I didn't know it wasn't included in the box with the 3GB SIM) so it's been over a week and that HN store hasn't mailed out the SIM (they originally wanted me to drive back half an hour because of the worker's mistake - it was his mistake he originally was confused about the special so I pointed to it in the catalogue and asked for it and he went out back to get it, he also remarked it was a very good deal compared to what he had at home when retrieving the product - I didn't just get it from the display and checkout as there were none on shelf. I called up later as I didn't want to blame the guy; maybe they were short of 8GB SIMs and there was nothing he could do but they were out the back as well and he just didn't bother to check). Also stock levels are extremely low at some stores and exhausted at others I went to my local HN 15 minutes away but they had none so referred me to another HN and they had none when I got there so went to the third HN where that occurred. Massive effort for a deal which turns out wasn't that great…

      8+8 seems a lot better than just 3gb.

      Also isn't there a limit to how many SIMs (data or otherwise) you can activate under your name? Maximum of 5 or 8? Maybe this was back five years ago but I remember networks checking how many active SIMs you had before approving even SIMs just used for data (like Telstra iPad sims, Optus USB etc.) So even if you weren't using it or the data had expired that counted towards the total SIMs you had registered under your name and after a critical number of them you presumably wouldn't be able to register anymore. Food for thought for people wanting to buy the maximum 2 more of this deal (and already purchased 4-5 last time) maybe ask? Maybe this was also before users could register more than a few SIMs on one account and telcos liked deterring people away from deals like these.

      Read this bit if you are interested but it is a bit TL;DR: I am a filthy over the situation because it's caused more than a bit of disruption. My significant other has Spanish lessons via. correspondence early on Saturday mornings (hence why I'm up) and she has stayed over the past few days. We asked the HN to mail out the SIM a few days ago and since it's in the same city we thought it would come by Friday but it hasn't and now I'm having to drive her back to her apartment so she can access the internet as she doesn't feel comfortable skyping with people in Mexico at Internet Cafes and it's too early to book a room at her university. First world problems. Obviously I don't have ADSL where I live (there is an unsecured connection originating from a cafe near me but it has poor reception cutting out all the time and no bandwidth for Youtube - Skype). Moving about renting in Syd Australia means it isn't feasible for me to sign up to fixed month contracts where I'm not sure if I'm going to renew the lease in six months (even considering the rising amount of competitive no lock-ins it is prohibitive because install/recon fees and also services like Beyond NBN aren't available in my area so fixed line isn't really an option for me - when I need to download a large PC/mobile update I go to the Airport/McDonald's). And if you are wondering whether I'm a fool because I don't: a) move in with SO at her apartment or b) move and split rent with girlfriend; she shares a two bedroom unit rental with her sister taking turns caring for their frail mother who suffers CF.

      It is actually 19GB. They only have 8+8 SIMs at HN.

        Went in this morning to pick one up, and the guy there assured me the 8gb was included in the sim in the box. We were suspicious of this and activated the sim then and there and it turns out we were right, it only came with 3gb. So after a lot of back and forth with the staff they finally gave us a sim on its own with 16gb

        • xsacha on 22/08/2015 - 12:15

          Yep, make sure they use their computer to look up the item code S369000 when you are buying this

  • durendal on 22/08/2015 - 05:48

    I remember that $39 Voda deal. I went to pick it up and after staffs' checking they gave me Vodafone Pocket WiFi with 8GB+8GB bonus, and extra separate SIM with 8GB+8GB bonus. Doesn't seem to have any expiry…

    This sounds already very tempting.

        Nope if you go to a store they'll tell you they're all separate franchises and can't help with online purchases, that was my experience, I asked to see a manager and he also basically told me too bad as well.

        I've also had two a terrible experiences with HN online for returns both took more than 5 phone calls and me waiting around for a courier that never came. Both times.

          It seems staff hate dealing with online purchases as they get no commission. Which personally makes me happy, needing assistance buying things is so 1950s.

        • munted on 22/08/2015 - 12:01

          @PainToad:
          The first item I had to return because it was faulty I opened a case online and 2 days later they just closed it without even putting in any notes.

          I don't see any advantage in online shopping if the company makes it less convenient and more time consuming…

          My dealing with HK grey importers and random Chinese ebay sellers for returns have been less painful than HN online.

          And no not because of no commission basically HN Online and HN stores are two separate entities don't think one will help you with the other, they'll flat out tell you they're won't.

        • Clear on 22/08/2015 - 12:49

          Every time I've had issues I've spoken to online support and they've told the store what to do. Maybe because my store got well over $100k in ACCC fines it doesn't want to wrong anyone.

        • MrFunSocks on 23/08/2015 - 02:16

          It might be fun now, but for the first 6 months it was a complete cluster-f#$k. They launched the game knowing full well that the online multiplayer was completely and utterly 100% broken. I think in the first week after launch I started and finished 1, maybe 2, out of 50+ games that I joined. DICE and EA deserved to get sued to the high heavens for what they released and charged people $100 for. In my 25+ years of playing video games I have never come across a more broken game than BF4 was on release. Even the single player campaign was broken, just randomly deleting your progress. It's the reason I skipped Hardline, and the reason I will wait and see how Battlefront 3 turns out.

          On the topic of the Vodafone Pocket Wi-Fi, the store that I went to said it had stock in store, I even showed the staff while I was in the store, yet they swore black and blue that they didn't have any. I'm guessing it was another Dick Smith affair where all of the stock was scooped up by staff members and kept out the back so no one else could buy it.

  • webtherapist on 22/08/2015 - 11:42
