        Oh awesome. I'm assuming it comes free with the device?

  • +2

    I can confirm this is modem with 3 gig sim card plus 8G+8G (16G total) sim card.

    Got the last one from HN Joondalup just after it opened this morning

    Great deal 19 gig for $19

    • +1

      It shows bouns 8g data sim tho? Do I have to ask them for the 8g sim?

      • +1

        yes, you should get an additional sim

    • Sorry Pal, but how do we check whether it's 8GB or 16GB? I don't want to activate it as yet but keen to find out the total allowance.

      • +1

        should say 8G + bonus 8G on the front of the sim

    • +1

      Can you check that when is the last activation date? Also, is it for 90 days?

  • The Huawei Ascend y550 is $89.00

    For all the ones who missed out on the $45.00 deal.

    • No true OzBargainer would pay above $45. ;)

      • Some might be desperate, but keep in mind none of the Huawei hardware can currently be unlocked, on-line servers which provide codes has been down for over a week. Got a friend who has been waiting for 10 days for codes, still nada.

  • +1

    So whats the expiry date on the 3gb sim once it is activated?
    My mum's mobile plan offers 500mb which gets chewed up quickly.

    • +1

      I am also looking for the answer.Has anyone got a clue

    • +4

      You get a bonus 8gig sim with the pocket wifi as well as 3gig sim included .The 3gig sim expires 30 days after activation and the bonus sim once activated includes an extra 8gigs so total of 16 gigs which expires 3 months after activation. And all credit to be activated within 12 months.

      • And all credit to be activated within 12 months.

        Not according to VF.

        • So, what is it (the activation policy) according to VF?

        • +1

          @yojabbajabba:
          A new sealed SIM will not expire,but once it has been activated and not recharged within twelve months,then it will be classed as expired.

          @nocure:
          Thanks @nocure - I'm sure you stated this somewhere else in the thread and I missed it!

  • Got 2 as well :)

  • +2

    Called up another HN store. They confirm that 8GB+8GB is only with 4G and costs about $78. For $19, it's a 3G + 3GB + 8GBbonus :)

  • Is the 90 days from date of purchase or activation as I go on holidays in December and these are great for the kids.

    Thanks

  • +2

    I'm posting this from Malaga HN
    Bought one

    You get wifi pocket with 3gb SIM card- 30days

    You also have to ask for the sim with s369000 and in that pack it clearly states
    Vodafone 3G/4g 8gb multi fit, bonus 8Gb.

    90 days activates from the day of activation. So you can activate the additional sim whenever you want

    19gb for $19. Confirmed 😀😀👍

    Three more left in Malaga, Wa

    • Any clue whether we can access 4G service (data) using the Bonus SIM (as it says that it's 3G/4G sim)? Then I would be able to use it on my iPhone5 to access fast internet.

  • Bought two to supplement the 2x$39 from the previous deal as Voda cream the opposition for connection at my home. You must ensure the kit contains the bonus 8GB. If the box states it does, then no probs but in my case on the previous deal, I had to have Harveys verify the box contained the bonus as it was not stated on the packaging. AS it turned out I was provided with 2x8GB recharge vouchers.

  • dam only got 1 vodafone this morning i went back all gone but i bought the 8gig sim with bonus 8gig for $15 so 16gigs for $15 is ok and its a 3g/4g sim.

  • From Vodafone website .. the 3GB comes with the device expired after 30 days.
    Does anyone know if the 8GB bonus sim has any expiry date after being activated?

    • You get 90 days on the 8GB

      • good to know
        But if it's not active … is there any expiry on the sim card itself?

        • I Don't think so but not 100% sure, read through previous comments might answer your q :)

        • @TRENT86:

          And all credit to be activated within 12 months

        • @paulaus: That's pretty good :)

        • @TRENT86:
          100% definitely no expiry on VF.

  • Thanks Heaps TRENT86!

    pick 5 packs up with bonus sims, so the kids are sorted for a while get deal.

  • Thanks OP and the commenters above. Got 2 from McGraths Hill. Staff initially assured me that the pack has got the bonus SIM. Came out of the shop, read through the comments and decided that I will open the box inside the store. Go back and the staff this time rechecked the catalogue and provided the SIMs that are 8GB+8GB. Great Deal…

  • Checked local store stock on website then went down only to be told they didnt have any there. Then told, they had one, but it was only 3GB for $70 but can price match the website special. Then to be told if we wanted the 8GB extra, can order in if we waited a few weeks. Then told the 8GB would not be added onto the 3GB, but essentially replaces it to be an 8GB total.

    Waste of time, and walked out. Thanks Op for the deal though….

  • How come people are talking about bonus 8GB?

    Mine is 16GB (90days), with another inside I am assuming is 3GB (30 days) so I got 19GB for $19 … and of course I bought 2.

    • Because that's what HN are advertising "BONUS 8GB DATA SIM PACK S369000 VALID FOR 90 DAYS"

      • Mine (from this deal) activated as 16gb,so I get 19gb (16+3). 16gb (8+8) is still good, I was just trying to clarify what the deal is. Looks like it varies

  • Ok, picked up 2, none on shelf. Sales assistant found a heap stashed out the back by other staff :)

    • Store?

  • Another person who was informed by HN staff the 8gb recharge is in the box.

    After reading the comments on here I doubted them and opened it in the car only to find the 3gb one. They then said when activated I get the additional 8gb data. Told them that wasn't how it works and got the 8gb + 8gb extra SIM because they couldn't get in touch with Vodaphone to confirm. The 8+8gb SIM pack has a $75 price tag on it FYI.

  • My 8gb sim pack says 3g/4g 8gb Multi FIT Bonus 8gb on Activation.

  • I had the Vodafone pocket wifi for about 12 months - slow and constant dropouts. Switched to Telstra 4GX and it is SO much better - no lost connections and very fast.

  • Pocket WiFi is out of stock :(

    • Yeah in store only now

      • Was it part of the one day sale?

        • +1

          Yeah will be hard to find a store open now to get one :( Doubt it will be same price 2mrw but could ring to check, the bonus offer ends 23rd

    • Looks like it's been taken down now

  • Price is $39 in catalogue LOL, got 2 from online, hope they will honour my order.

    • Yep the $19 price is a Saturday only price :)

      • Now is still Saturday, is it Sunday yet? :)

  • +1

    Ordered 2 with click + collect this morning at the Broadway store (NSW), called them in the afternoon and was told they ran out… looks like my card has been charged already, so I can expect to pick them up some time soon?

    • Exact same thing happened to me.

      I love that they knew and didn't bother to let any of the online orders they couldn't fulfill know. I also love that they sold units to customers in store rather than fulfill orders placed online before the store opened.

      • Damn, looks like I won't be getting mine.

        • If you ordered and paid yesterday you should be able to pick up once they receive stock

    • i called Broadway yesterday at 10:40am and they were sold out

  • Ok folks party is over, Vodafone Pocket wifi is no longer discounted. http://www.harveynorman.com.au/vodafone-3g-pocket-wifi-8gb.h…

    • +2

      Yeah $19 over now :( it's a nice try of them to show $78 but they can't refuse the actual advertised price in catalogue for $39 lol fools

      • Yes that is 100% correct, false advertising they will be sued, just call me up or head Intk the store, like mentioned before, if anyone knows any stores that could prove match?

  • Any places to get this price matched? It states of valid from Friday to Sunday, think there website is just down, wouldn't be taken down.

  • Can anyone please confirm whether the Bonus SIm can be used on Mobile or 4G pocket wifi to access 4G service? The reason I am asking because the $75 SIM pack that you get for free says 3G/4G Data SIM so I wonder if I can use it as 4G? Anyone please?

    • +1

      @ RockMeloOn

      Yes if you are in a Vodafone 4G area ;)

      (where i live there is no 4G voda but it is a good speed anyway- tower is very very close i can see it out my window :)

  • Sounds like a deal until you get to the in store part. What is this, 1905?

  • Picked up my 2 Pocket Wifi but the 8Gig Sims were on backorder.

  • First I want to thanks the OP for the post and those who reminded us to ask for an extra SIM card.

    Just went to pick up my order today. The sale rep gave me a pocket wifi with a slightly different PC code.

    The original price of the pocket wifi itself is $134 and it comes with a 8 GB +bonus 8 GB SIM inside the box.

    With the 8 GB + bonus 8 GB SIM outside the box (original price $75) I guess I'm having 32 GB in total?

  • Picked up one from chirnside park, vic, with additional sim 19 bucks, they had one left..

  • Got 2 modem this Sunday morning for $19. I had to go back to exchange my 8g sim card today because i was given a nano sim when i bought the modem last sunday. thankfully i called as soon as i realized i was given the wrong sim. this made the exchange process much easier because i found only the managers that i spoke to last week knew about the bonus 8g ADDITIONAL sim card.
    Anyways i was real disappointed when i read on here that the $19 deal was finished. Out of curiosity i asked how much the modem was selling for today and was told $19. so i grabbed 2 additional modem w/ bonus sim cards for $19 at Bennet Greens HN! AND i got a price guarantee for the modem i purchased last week. so maybe there are other HN just wanting to get rid of the modem and still selling it for $19.

  • +2

    HN email - "Hi. Sorry, your order has been delayed. It shouldn't take too long. We'll contact you as soon as it's ready". I hope so. Hope they are not going to go all dicksmith on me.

    • Same here.

  • +3

    Now that the price is $78 why are all stores now showing stock?

    Haven't had a confirmation to pick up from any store yet.

  • Just called the ocornor shop in wa where I ordered online and they mentioned it's on back order even the website stated it was in stock.
    I was told I will be emailed when its ready for pickup….
    Keep hoping they can fulfill the online order for c2c

  • Has anyone got a copy of the ad showing the Voda 3G Pocket Modem + 8GB for $19. I bought 2 of these less than 7 days ago for $39 each, so Harvey should give me the difference back.

    Can anyone please give me a copy of the ad or catalogue?

    • Sorry the catalogue only shows $39, the $19 was a Sat only special, I didn't get a screenshot but maybe someone else did, I'm sure they know about the $19 deal though

      • I've got a copy now. Thanks.

        • I'm stoked that I got $40 back from Harvey. I was sooooo lucky.

  • Went to the store to pickup the modem and he gave me a sim card attached to a small booklet but no 8GB value stated on it. He said that is the bonus sim card.

    Is there anyway to check the value on the sim before we activate it? I am just worried if he just pick any available sims not the 8 GB on the offer.
    Thanks

    • yea same here, not sure whats on it.
      and they only had nano sims available and was told i could just transfer the data over… never done this before though and will now need a sim adapter to do this

      • I bought one when the price was $39 and it came with an additional simcard which states 8gb+8gb bonus.Checking the barcode with the unmarked simcard I received when purchasing for $19, they are identical which suggests that the unmarked simcard comes with 8gb+ 8gb bonus data. Haven't activated yet to check as I am still using the original $39 pack.
        BTW does harvey norman have a price-guarantee to reimburse the $20 difference in price?

    • +1

      Yeah because they peel off the labels and stick them to the order form.

      Check the barcode, I believe the 3GB sim ends with 8788 and the 8GB sim with 9006

      • The barcode on the package is end with 8788.
        I just called Vodafone and passing them on the activation Key and he mentioned he can see that is 8GB sim card.
        He said if i am still worried on the data value .. the only way to confirm is to activate the sim.

        • Actually I got that reversed, you are correct the 3GB is 9006 and 8GB 8788

        • I got the two cards like u! So does that means I only got 11gb? Not 19gb?
          Or I will get bonus 8gb when activate the 8gb card?
          Anyone explain this please?

        • @edw0000000:
          I did ask that question to the vodafone support and he mentioned he can't tell me if the 8GB sim will get another 8GB bonus deal until it's activated.
          Since there is a 3 months expiry after activation, i am not ready to activate my sim yet.

          Let me know if anyone else is going to activate the similar sim card.

        • @eecchhoo: ok, thanks for the reply

        • @eecchhoo: I just activated the 8gb one and its a 16gb!

        • @edw0000000: Great… thanks confirming that the unmarked sim card get 8+8GB as well.

  • Did anyone order through HN direct (and paid postage) instead of picking up?
    My online order has been on backorder since 1.5 weeks ago :|
    Anyone else?

    • My order is also on Backorder..

      • hoping they don't just leave it on backorder … … then cancelled :(

    • Yep, ordered through HN website with $25 off coupon on backorder

      Delivered to my house on Tuesday 1st September

    • +1

      I have been waiting for more than two weeks already. I sent email to HN. They rang me back and told me that they don't have 8GB sim yet and they don't know the ETA. Too slow!

      • Ordered on 22/8 so its exactly 3 weeks today. Called and was told one of the 8GB SIM was damaged, they're waiting for more from Voda. ETA end of next week

        • Hopefully, it's coming soon. My is to be picked up from a HN store.

        • Me too.

        • @Yuun Yii:

          I finally managed to pick it up. It took one month!

        • @Yuun Yii:
          Delivered today 22/9, from Everton Park store

  • Ibrang Vodafone today and was told12 months from date of purchase to activate, then 30 days for the 3gb on the modem and 90 days for re 8gb+

  • Has anyone else NOT received any communication about the Vodafone pending pickup? I'm still waiting on mine. Going to call them tomorrow.

    • Called them (Broadway) yesterday. They told me that they had the Pocket wifi but were waiting on the bonus SIM cards. Lady called me back yesterday saying that they had received them and ready to pickup - so I managed to get mine today. Great customer service apart from the long wait.
