Has anyone tried to place their Boost or Telstra SIM card into a wifi broadband modem just to use the data?
Ta!
Can a Mobile Phone's Calls + Data SIM Be Used in a Wi-Fi Modem to Access Data?

of course it will! I have been using kogan's free sim cards with calls and data into my portable wifi modem.
They give away SIMs with data on them?
Pretty much
How do you call a number with the wifi modem - what number is displayed on the receivers phone?
You can't generally make calls, wifi modem can only use data, not make calls. SMS is supported on some modems. Number displayed is the SIM card number.
Yes it will absolutely work :).
Vodafail had unlimited data on weekends about 2 years ago, and I Broden-ed the hell out of it.
I'd have multiple SIM's activated, at the most I had 1 in my phone and 3 connected to a PC running 2 virtual machines.
Vodafail was not amused to say in the least, they even cancelled the SIM's that were in my phone, clamming that I was using them in a PC, ok some I was :P.Ah let's not forget Tel$tra's unlimited data, Tel$tra really was much better than Vodafail, they even rewarded a guy who used over a TB of data by letting him be the first one to test their 5G network!
Yes, it works.
