Been looking for a pocket wifi for a while now. Not the cheapest ever but the cheapest I can find recently. Let me know if I'm mistaken.
Yes it's a vodafone network. My plan is to use up all the data then get it unlock so I can use it overseas.
Pocket Wi-Fi 2 @ Crazy Johns $59

You do realise, don't you, that in order to use the data you would have to actually be able to connect to Vodafone with it?
We already saw "new/better" Pocket wifi Pro for $39.99. This is old tech.
Where? And what does the Pro do that the current one doesn't?
The Pro version has the faster 3G speeds modes, is rated upto 21Mbps. Also has a differesnt interface and look. Was good when DSE had them for $40 a few months back.
Of course you wont get 21Mbps sprrd, but it sure is fast.
The pocket wifi 2 is being phased out, isnt it?
Pro will be phased out too, there is a "Pocket WiFi™ Extreme" now, but it looks like it is not yet on prepaid:

It includes a built-in rechargeable battery that provides up to 10 hours of usage. It offers convenient recharging via a plug and play USB connection. Other features include microSD capability of up to 32GB."
Vivid imagination…
viMax at least unmetered the net; whereby the LTE's wouldn't, neither soon, nor any price pt.
seems expensive for an oldish device locked to voda. I imagine you could pick up plenty cheaper on ebay.
At this price you'd almost be better off just buying a cheap android phone, and using its wifi hotspot feature.
Plus note that these particular devices are notoriously hard to unlock, at least they were 2 yrs ago when I looked at them. If unlocking is part of you game plan, check out if its cheaply do-able first.
No they are not, less than 3 bucks on eBay for a code.
But yes, this a poor value bargain, I picked up 2 from BigW when they had them at $15.80 2-3 months ago.
took me a few reads to understand - "no they are not" = hard to unlock
The good guys still have Pocket wifi pro at $49.00. Not online, saw this at their Penrith store week ago, around 5 left.
if you want it you might want to get it soon, I believe Crazy John's will be closing to new applications in a couple of days
