Temporary Wi-Fi Option

Clueless23 on 13/12/2016 - 19:11

Okay, so we were meant to move into a new house a few weeks ago and the Internet and phone was organised to be transferred from our current house to the new one on the date given by the builder. Crap happens and doesn't look like we'll be moving until early next year and we have no internet until then..are there any options that don't cost an arm and a leg which will provide Internet for one or two months max? it'll cost us around $150 to transfer the Internet back to current address and we'll be charged again to bring it to the new house once we're there so I won't be doing that…

      Yes. This is the most critical bit of information when deciding what options to go with.. please give more info if you want advice.

    You could grab a Woolworths mobile $45 starter pack for $22.50 in-store from tomorrow.
    16GB to use in 30 days, you can tether it from your phone.

    If you need more data, buy another one and a $2 Optus SIM for porting out and back in. $47 all up for 32GB to use in 60 days.

      will these work in a wifi dongle or limited to phones only?
