Went into Harvey Norman and was wondering around for fun… Saw these in the electrical section.
Pretty decent deal I guess if you need a 3G modem on the cheap with some data.

Not really. Outdated technology more than 2 years old. Max download speed 7.2 Mb/s is slower than a smartphone. Limited to 802.11b/g. Does not support 850 MHz band. Probably locked to Virgin/Optus with unknown unlock cost. http://bc.whirlpool.net.au/bc/hardware/?action=h_view&model_…
At Christmas, got 2 Pocket Wifi for $31.60 http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/89216
Each included 6GB of data and 94 day expiry.
Would not want to pay more than that!
Near Liverpool NSW.
Need to find someone in NSW to buy it for me…
Next door to Peach Orchard :-D
And I am wondering why the OP was "wondering around" in such a place.
Where's Peach Orchard? :S
I had this question too, hoping it'd be near the Orange Grove markets in Sydney but I think this one is in WA.
Edit: Oh it's in Sydney, but still too far away from me
Need to find someone in WA to buy it for me…
Are you sure? There is an Orange Grove in WA…
Given the unclear deal title, for those interested, this is the Harvey Norman in Liverpool, NSW, located on Orange Grove Road.
You went into Harvey Norman… for fun?
Thats an OBer!
- Virgin wifi modem(Huawei E5832): Pay attention to check the expire date of this virgin wifi modem. Almost all this older modem come with an expired sim card. So very possible you get no data at all and Virgin cannot help you out from this. But if you don't mind data, it's ok that a new 7.2Mbps wifi modem at $30.00 and you can unlock it free by reference http://www.wikihow.com/Unlock-Huawei-E585-Mifi-Router Plus download an unlock code input software from Virgin's website.
- Optus USB modem(Huawei E173): 1st, pay attention to expire date, this model usually half to half chance expired. 2nd, 2 kind of data packs of this model, 1 with 3G data valid 30 days, another come with 4G data valid 90 days. Apparently the later one worth the price but not the 1st one. Google it, this model very easy to be unlocked free.
- Vodafone USB modem( ZTE 3571): Sim card no expire date. Also 2 kind of data packs with it, Data plus(the one in middle) 6G data valid 90 days, not too bad. The one on middle left 3G data valid 30days. Not worth $30.00.$10.00-15.00 else where-officeworks, post office. This modem is hard to be unlocked.
