Folks!
Long time lurker - Just signed up to post some info as I just bought this.
Bought it from Coles located at Hurstville train station. Coles Roselands & Hurstville mall outta stock.
As someone mentioned before, it is indeed Vodafone Pocket WiFi 4G NOT "4G 2".
Device appears to be unlocked and could be used with other SIM card. Matter of fact, I'm currently using "KOGAN" sim without a problem. Remember, KOGAN uses Vodafone network so I can't guarantee that it will work with every other SIM card. Maybe someone with more knowledge of this can shed light on it.
Vodafone SIM card accompanying this package has $30 written on it but I don't know how much data I am going to get when I activate that SIM card. Will update when I do :)
Cheers
I got 10gig for 30 days
Brilliant. Did you activate the is card as 'Data Only" or as a standard SIM card?
Thinking of switching my number over to this SIM card as my plan with KOGAN is ending in couple of days.
data only
How much stock was there at Hurstville Train Station? Planning to buy one soon
Not exactly sure how much they had but it looked like 3 or 4 boxes.
They weren't marked down to $14.75 but once they scanned the box then it showed marked down price.
Checked Hurstville Train Station this morning, sold out at 9:10am
@AsianHo: Did they sell out this morning,… after your purchase haha.
Hope you got one at this price.
@ozhunter68: I wish I got one, I asked and they just said 'we dont have any instock', the lady knew already. I went back to the Hurstville Westfield and asked, but they just said leave your name and item name and we'll get back to you
Woden in Canberra had a couple this morning
R216h model
$14.75 with $30 sim inside package
Also to confirm Unlocked
Does it come with another sim starter pack that normally comes with that modem?
Just the $30 sim that says tablet/modem/phone usage.
Managed to pick up one from Woden Coles. Thanks! There were still 2 or 3 boxes at the counter on Monday evening.
Just bought the last 2 at Woden!
I think most people who have managed to get one have the older Pocket Wifi 4G (not the Pocket Wifi 4G 2).
This is the Huawei R216H model - 4G: FDD LTE 800/850/1800/2600MHz 150Mbps download, 50Mbps upload
The 4G bands of the R216H don't seem good for Telstra or maybe even Optus.
Comments or experiences???I think you're right. I got the older Pocket Wifi 4G Huawei R216H model. Is there anybody who got the Pocket Wifi 4G 2 model?
4g2600, 4g700, antenna input +Cat 6, pls; for the next one of these to go on sale; would be o.k. not necessarily voda fone.
Yep, antenna input should be a given - unfortunately rare these days.
Hmm, just noticed - the little cover on the side un-addressed by the set-upo guide or manual is covering two antenna ports..
Whats a good cheap antenna for this?
This is one cheap antenna - I won't know if it is good till I get it tho…
Most of the ones in this class seem to be the same one around the same price.
Very interested in your review of the antenna
I managed to get the Boost signal from one bar to three, however there is no numeric measure availabe, and that SIM was running well anyway. The Kogan [Voda] SIM had a lesser rise, however Vodafone appeared to be glitching out in my area on the day I tried it out.
Saw one just yesterday @ Coles, Springfield Lakes, QLD
did you buy it?
Anyone know if any stores in Sydney has any ?
