I stumbled across this deal in a Vodafone store today. I can’t see any information about it on the Vodafone website.

The Pocket WiFi® 4G R216 is Vodafone’s current 4G modem normally selling for $79. To get this modem / Wi-Fi device for $39.50 is certainly a great deal. The product specifications can be obtained from the link in this post.

I do not know if the deal is national or whether it is being offered at all stores. I purchased from a Newcastle-based Vodafone-owned store. You may have to ask for the product to be scanned at the register if the staff member is not aware of the discount offer.

I have a receipt to prove the purchase at this price. The store did have a printed sheet in the front window which confirms that the deal is valid (which I duly forgot to take a picture of). I couldn’t find an expiry date in the small print.

  $24 for better Telstra deal: http://www.harveynorman.com.au/telstra-prepaid-4g-pocket-wi-…

  1500mah battery on Voda vs 2300mah on Telstra.

  Not sure if there are any other spec differences that matter.

  The MF90 only has 1 LTE band (1800) while the R216 has 4 (800/850/1800/2600) so it depends on the area you are using it.

  It is also possible that the Voda one is unlocked while the Telstra one is definitely locked

  This one also has 3g 900mhz so it is suitable for optus too

  What a pity they no longer put a screen on these things. It's a lot easier to tell what's going on than decyphering lights and going to web pages.

  Does Telstra's 4GX "require" 700MHz?

• 

  whats up skip on 31/12/2015 - 08:23

  Not much good on Optus for 4G as there is no 700MHz and no 2300MHz.

  I just bought one of these wifi modems from a Vodafone store in the Sydney CBD and I can confirm they are $39.50.

  The strange thing is that there isn’t a prepaid 3GB starter kit included with the modem in the box like others.

  The store rep had to get a $2 sim and activate a $30 recharge onto it to get the 3GB and said he needed to do it then and there. I wanted to keep it for later but he said it wasn’t possible.

  I’d recommend this modem only to those who want to take advantage of a wifi modem that supports Vodafones re-farmed 850Mhz LTE band as well as its 1800Mhz band.

  As stated by others it doesn’t support the 700 and 2300Mhz lte bands used by optus and telstra.
