libbysmum Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 just as the title suggests really i want mobile broadband for first month or so on pay as you go when we arrive until we are ready to get a contract. I have a 3 pay as you dongle i'm currently using and it is quite new being hspa+ enabled, getting downloads of over 5Mbs. Can i take it over with me and just get a new sim on whatever network is needed or would it need unlocking like mobile phones, or would it just not be compatible full stop???:wacko: thanks Sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amibovered Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 It would probably need unlocking, but should work on the Optus and Vodafone networks, probably not on Telstra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libbysmum Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 so how would I go about unlocking it????? can I do it myself online? Or would I need to find someone to do it? I wonder if it's worth the hassle of trying to sort it out, but from what I have found to buy a dongle for a PAYG plan over there can be around $99, thats before you pay for any data allowances.

amibovered Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I did mine for free online, depends on which dongle you have, have a see if you can find any info via google on your particular model. you should be able to get one over here for less than 99 bucks http://dicksmith.com.au/dsau/search/dsau_search_results.jsp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
