This is about as cheap as it's ever been, and comes with 2GB data. Called a few Kmart stores and it's a national deal. If you're calling a store to confirm stock, quote barcode 9317493000587. I've included BIG W as a reminder, as it's in their current catalogue. Enjoy :)

    stupid question……can it be used os, viz indonesia?

    • Kaboda on 27/12/2015 - 21:51

      If they are unlocked like the Vodafone ones I wouldn't see why not.

  • [Deactivated] on 27/12/2015 - 21:32

    How many hours do these last for? I use an android phone and it only lasts around 5 hours before it requires recharging again… If I use my normal phone, i'd run the battery dry and be unable to call.

      they last about 5 hrs normal use, if you use your phone to tether it(phone) will last longer due to wifi instead of using its own sim card

      • [Deactivated] on 27/12/2015 - 21:35

        Thanks, I might get a spare one of these because they are probably lighter to carry around.

    • slackme on 27/12/2015 - 21:57

      I think it only lasts for four hours. I need to turn it off when I don't need it.

    • IVI on 28/12/2015 - 08:37

      use a powerbank to extend run time;
      eg, recharge it every 3-4 hours with a "50,000 MAh" unit.

    Maybe it's this cheap because they are phasing out 3G modems to 4G… just maybe

  • Chopel on 27/12/2015 - 22:03

    hmm, it's only 3G

    These have been this price at Big W for a while. The original price was $49 then down to $25 and finally to $14. They were $7 during the weekend sale a few weeks ago when all Optus devices were 50% off.

      Why didn't you post it last time? Sometimes ppl missed it in those 50% off sale

      • ozdesi on 28/12/2015 - 00:36

        there was a post when optus had 50% off and these were for $7

    Tempted to buy but may I ask how it is compared with the R207 from Vodafone (9$)? I'm confused by the different models from Huawei

    At Moone Ponds K-Mart this device is available from last 3 4 weeks. And there is Telstra portable hotspot MF60 white, availabe at $7 with 2GB data for 2 weeks.

  • gstfree on 28/12/2015 - 00:34

    Plenty stock left at Knox City S/C Kmart as of 27.12.2015.

  • lostn on 28/12/2015 - 13:56

    Can anyone confirm if they're locked or not?

  • summutha on 28/12/2015 - 14:33

    does the data last 15 or 30 days?

    • lostn on 28/12/2015 - 15:49

      included 2GB is 14 days.

  • nzthunderboy on 28/12/2015 - 14:35

    TA's Mad rush impulsive buying. I would say guys, do you really think buying an old 3G modem worth it ? I'm sure many already have smartphones who can use them to tether internet. Think twice or more before going ahead with it.

    Got one of these from BigW when it was on sale for the same price few weeks back. Combined it with $10off on my Woolworths rewards card offer and got it for $4.

    I can confirm it is unlocked and worked with my Amaysim.

    • ol mate on 28/12/2015 - 19:45

      Have you tried anything other than Amaysim?

      Amaysim run on the Optus network so it wouldn't stop you from using them.

      • rvsure on 28/12/2015 - 20:38
        -1

        I was in an impression that Amaysim runs on Telstra network. I don't have any other sim with me at the moment to try.

        • fozzie on 29/12/2015 - 01:03

          Amaysim runs on Optus

  • biawak on 01/01/2016 - 11:39
