Now available for clearance at $5. Good to use for any sim you want as it is unlocked(just needs profile change in the modem setings)
Price valid at Target Store, Karratha WA. Not sure if nationwide.
Includes 2 GB data so that's a bonus:)

Enjoy

      Hi aoujay51, do you know if the Telstra wifi 4G lite is unlocked, like the Optus modem in this deal?

        Not unlocked and very few bands.
        However it isnt hard to unlock. (refer to older OzB posts)

      Checked Target website but could not find this very item. Is this WA store only, not applicable online shop ?

        With a whole 2GB they'll be able to watch 3 or 4 tv show episodes :D

        I think "Turdball"(tm) wants us to go back to the good ol' days of $5/hr ozemail dialup speeds!

  I went to Doncaster Target but did not find it in store. Shop staff advised they don't have this on sale.

  I have bought two of these. First when I tried to activate SIM on line, it keeps giving me a verification error. So had to call Optus. After a long wait, I got it activated through a human.
  But lost 3 days of use for some reason. The second SIM had the same error.
  Contacted Optus again, waited even longer. Got it activated.
  Optus activation is a pain.
  Just so you guys who think 2GB is a lot. The unit itself is not too bad and I use when I travel overseas. I gave the first unit away to another fellow traveler that I met in Amsterdam, he couldn't believe it. Those things still cost a bomb there. [And no, I didn't trade it at the coffee shop. :) ]

  At $3 a piece, I'd buy them and give them away (they are unlocked) to other fellow overseas travellers. They will thank you so much and can't believe your generosity. It has a USB cable and an Aussie plug. You don't need the Aussie plug at all if you have a USB point.
