1417213 2016-03-10 02:11:00 Anyone had experience using a 3 and or 4G wifi dongle in Oz? Just that their hotels and apartments are still in the dark ages re data and charging.
For use with a couple of iPads over 10 days.
Any suggestions appreciated!
Thanks

Unfortunately, Telstra is the only one that has reasonable coverage if you’re travelling and not in the Cities.

And get what you need from a Telstra Shop and get them to set it up. You can spend hours waiting for any sort of online customer support.

What part of Aus are you heading?

Sorry - should have said - just Surfers this time.
Interesting though our usual place we go to in Port Douglas each year has great free unlimited and fast broadband!
Thanks

Ok, Surfers you’ll probably get most to work but I’d still go with Telstra because you’ll be able to use the Dongle next time you go, albeit with a different Sim.

Yes, I was in Port Douglas last May and did a Tiki Tour down to Brisbane over 3 weeks, nice place.

However, Hervey Bay does it for me, don’t know how many times I’ve been back there and booked to go again this May. 73days and counting. :)
