If you’re ever out and about looking to quickly “do something” on your laptop but can’t find a free public Wi-fi network, you’re not alone. Carrying hardware to run your own Wi-fi hotspot and purchasing the data to run it can be cost prohibitive, but there’s a solution today for those of us on a budget.
Harvey Norman is clearing out Optus Wi-fi hotspot products – both a Pre-Paid Portable Modem (a Huawei E5251) for a dirt cheap $10, and a USB Portable Modem (a Huawei E3351) that includes a SIM with 2GB of data for a whopping $5.
The devices are limited to 1 per customer which, at that price, is hardly surprising.
If you’re keen for the bargain, head to your local Harvey Norman store.
What pocket hotspot do you use? If these prices aren’t enough to entice you to buy one, what will? Tell us in the comments!
