Diverting messages from Telstra Pre-Paid 4G Connection Manager to a mobile number

Hi, To find out how much credit i have left, I need to view the SMS alerts via my Telstra Pre-Paid 4G USB + WI-FIt Connection Manager, which is a pain. Does anyone know how (or think of a way) to divert messages sent to my prepaid broadband number to my mobile number (or even an email address)? I'm hoping to download a simple ** laptop-based ** program where I enter the number texts are sent to & then the number they are to be forwarded to. Many thanks.

OK Tom, we may have a work around for you. Do you have an Android device, mobile phone or tablet accessable. If so there's a nifty little app available on the google Play Store called "SMS Call Forward / Divert" that you could download onto that other android device. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartapps.SMSCallDivert&hl=en Then take the sim from the USB stick, pop it into the phone/Tablet and you can arrange to have any SMS messages that are sent to the number attached to the USB sim to another number. eg your mobile phone. (Then of course put everything back together in the normal way and any SMS that are sent to your USB number go to wherever you've directed them. I know others who in fact have done the same, and it works well.

When I create a text message from my contact on my iphone 5, the contacts mobile number appears and not there name. But when they respond to my text, is shows up as a new text message with there name. How do I fix this?

Double click the home button and swipe up the messages app to stop it, then open the app again. This pretty much completely stops the process and freshly opens it again, resolving problems at times. I have had this happen before as well on my iPad, I get a banner, check messages, and nothing new is there.
If that doesn't work, close the app like suggested above, but then restart the phone by holding down the home and lock button for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears.

If your machine came with Lion preinstalled, you cannot use it on another machine. It is tied to the machine it came with. You are allowed to make a one time transfer of the OS when you sell the machine as long as it remains with that machine.
If you purchase Lion from the app store, you are free to install it on as many Macs as you own - however, if/when you sell one of those Macs, you are required to uninstall Lion as the license is not transferable and you need to reinstall the original OS.

Hey! A little bit delayed to the chase but I've been on the move a bit lately, despite this it has been a good environment to test the Pre-Paid 4G My Pocket Wi-Fi Plus device that Telstra graciously provided me with for the #MobileInsider review. Being in the Broadcasting & IT sectors I found the ability to be involved in this review delightful as I had a perfect environment to test it in, I carry an iPhone 6 Plus & Microsoft Surface Pro 3 around with me daily as I not only complete my day job as a radio announcer, but look after a community broadcaster and provide some minor IT support to a couple of other smaller organisations...not to mention the fact I attended a conference a few hours from my place during the testing time.
A video of the unboxing of the device, some first impressions First impressions from receiving the device...the packaging is nice and compact, fresh & funky with enough detail about the product for me to get a good idea of what is can do and what it supports without needing to stand in the store researching the device further before making a purchasing decision. Inside the box you will find the device with SIM already inserted, wall charger and lead, some guides on getting started with the device and the Telstra mobile network, plus a little sticker you can attach to something detailing the default Wireless ID and passcode. Looking at the device more extensively I think it’s a great clean very well rounded design in white with a well placed LCD screen and easy access to the SIM should you need to swap to another or use it with multiple cards. All access to power buttons, one touch Wireless security configs and the SIM point as well as a reset button if things go Pear shaped are spaced reasonably and are not difficult to operate when holding it in your hand. I love the fact that despite the price tag of the unit, the addition of antenna sockets have been added which makes it great for someone who might need to connect an antenna to get some better reception on the device.
Usually you have to pay more money for a device that is capable of taking external antennas. I was a little disappointed from opening the box to find that the device did not have any charge at all from factory packing and I had to plug it in for 3-4 hours before I could get started. Usually I find that manufacturers like to test their devices so that they work straight out of the packet giving the batteries a little base charge…which then in turn gives the new owner a moment to be able to power it up and have a mess about before charging and getting serious. Startup time was less than 30 seconds and it locks onto a signal as fast as a mobile phone.The LCD display is a great source of information at your fingertips.The top half of the display shows how many bars you have, the amount of Wireless Clients that are connected, network activity through the device as it happens and battery status.On the lower half it can display the amount of data you have on your account plus the Wifi network name & password so connecting is a breeze. Configuring with devices was simple, none of my devices had any dramas with selecting the network and entering the passcode…they just worked immediately once connected. I ran into a spot of bother with being able to activate straight from the box and using the device to connect to the activation website, 11PM at night and Telstra’s activation site was not responding…but connecting to my home Internet connection fixed this. Online activation was a breeze as the process seems to have been streamlined a little since the last time I activated a prepaid service. Using the service number on the side of the box along with some personal details and a drivers license, I was able to fill the forms out in less than 5 minutes leaving the rest to Telstra’s activation servers which completed in 5 minutes. I find it very nifty that Telstra not only sends a text to the service but also emails to let you know when the process was completed. Performance of the device was great in several places that I tested it, speed was consistent on any equipment I connected wirelessly with the device and my comparisons with using the network on my mobile phone…it also doesn’t get inconsistent as you share the connection with multiple devices which is a big plus. The device was also able to obtain a good signal in areas where my mobile phone may have found it challenging to lock a consistent 4G connection….like for example at the conference I was at in an RSL club, situated in a basement level room with many concrete and metal obstructions and flaky provided Wifi (I turned the device on and used that instead so I could finish some notes on a presentation I was making). The device also has a web interface that can allow you to keep tabs on your actual data usage, more detailed information on battery power, the ability to read/send text messages as well as adjusting some settings to improve performance like the Wifi signal, a sleep function when the device is not connected to any clients and some firewall functions. I think that along with the Wireless ID & passcode sticker they could have included the default web interface password because for those not reading the quick start guides fully it could be a small challenge to figure out what the password was. I immediately thought a group of standard default passwords and was able to enter the config page easily. Battery was as I would expect with any modern mobile network connected device, enough to get you through a day of moderate usage…some would find this a concern but you can use the device while it’s charging as well and there are many affordable options including USB car charger jacks and recharging packs you can connect it up to when you are short of juice. Aside from the activation hassle I thought it was a great unit, for the money you are spending to get it the device comes with 3GB to get you started and packs so many features into a device you can carry around in your pocket and have at your dispense when you need Internet on the go. I would recommend this product to friends and family that need something that is not too complex and not expensive to configure and get going online using the Telstra mobile network. The device was easier to use as a wireless hotspot than using my mobile phone, which despite a simple settings change does not seem to want to consistently work with my Microsoft Surface Pro 3. This device would work great for those with basic computer skills after initial setup given the simple controls to turn the device on on and off and having connection info at your fingertips on the colour screen.

Telstra pre-paid mobile broadband

Has anyboby managed to setup up a Telstra Pre-Paid Mobile Broadband Turbo on OSX Lion 10.7.1.
The dongle works fine on my WIndows machine so no issues with activation of the sim or account balancwe etc.
I've downloaded and installed the latest version of the software from the Telstra web-site but still no luck. The software installs, but will not connect to the 3G network.

Can I just say that this is a great way around those evil hotels that I am forced to use by my employer ... hotels that have a $25 to $35 charge for 24 hours of data delivered by WiFi or LAN cable to one's hotel room. In the last three years with my previous iPhone 4S and now the 6+, I have been able very simply to tether my laptop (Apple MacBook Pro 15") or tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8") to the data allowance on my phone and use the internet without the hotel's massive UNFAIR charges.

Re: Set up and activate Telstra pre-paid mobile broadband
I currently have internet at 6/320 Manly Road Manly West Qld, but have recently moved, so need to know what my options are on moving the service to my new address.
I tried Wi-Fi from the main house at the new address, as I live in the unit in the back yard, but even with an 'extender' which we purchased today, there is minimal WI-FI.
Is it possible to get a moveable modem so that I can take it anywhere, and have this instead of my current service, I don't need a home phone, what are my options?

Telstra Pre-Paid 4G USB

I am using my daughters Telstra Pre-Paid 4G USB while on holiday. We recharged on the 3rd July with $30 3GB only to have it run out within 10 days. I purchased another recharge this afternoon of $50 for what I thought was 5GB and within a space of a couple of hours I am now at 3.971GB. The account says my history is 15/7 19.21 55275kbytes. I do not have updates running and only view my emails in Outlook yet I am getting through so much data which I can't afford especially being a pensioner. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,On your phone etc....Make sure you are logged out of facebook.Also go to Mobile data and turn off "background data"Depending on the device/s you are using, press the home button and swipe off all apps you are not using, as they may be running in the background.In Data usage, you should be able to see what apps etc are consuming mobile data.Hope that helps

I want to Sync my iPhone 4 to iTunes however I get an error message from iTunes each time I connect the phone to the PC saying that I should restore to factory settings. Frustrating because it's already annoying enough that I can't drag and drop mp3's!!!

I have never been so frustrated before in my life with any phone. I find it obnoxious as it is that I cannot simply drag and drop files (especially MP3's) straight from my PC directly into my phone, which I have been used to doing up until now. Everyone who convinced me to get the iPhone has instructed me that my frustration can be fixed by downloading iTunes and syncing it all up via that program (which I have never used before). So, I downloaded the program successfully, however when I connect the iPhone 4 to the PC and iTunes is open, I get an error message that 'iTunes cannot read the content of the iPhone "iPhone" and that I should go to the Preferences tab of the iPhone and select 'restore' to restore this phone to factory settings. First of all, I don't understand why I need to do that. I have already downloaded apps and other important things in the 2 days that I have the phone. I am also scared that it will erase my contacts. This is such a headache. Music is very imporatant to me, but I am getting so frustrated that I don't have freedom over the phone which I thought was supposed to be one of the best out there. I would really appreciate help in this matter. I am sure the phone is great but I am on the verge of taking it back and getting something else.

Hey joshuafromisr,
If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:

HP laptops diverting sounds from external speakers when headphones connected

Hi there,
The problem is reproduced in several cases, but the most annoying is the following:
1. Headphones are connected to the laptop (I assume all sounds must go to the headphones, not to the speaker)
2. Have skype (or googletalk or several other apps) run in background
3. Have browser (chrome, firefox) open and youtube video is being showed
4. Message comes to IM (skype, gtalk...) and when BEEP from the application is played - it is played not in headphones, but in external speakers!
I though the issue was with skype - but after some time I faced with the same problem in other apps - and it is not reproduced on other laptops (not HP).
The problem is being seen on several different HP laptops. Here is details of my laptop:
HP ProBook 6550b WD700EA#ACB
Windows7 Enterprise 64bit, SP1

Ok I have it Fixed on my computer.
In the control panel then sound there are 3 devices.
AMD HDMI Output
AMD High Definition Audio Device
Speakers and Headphones
IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
Communications Headphones
IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
What apears to happen is that as soon as a communications type program starts it devides the audio inbetween 2 mixers and seperated the headphone jack from the main audio card. As soon as I right clicked and disabled the "Communications Headphones" Then there is only one mixer that focres all applications to use the heaphone jack instead of the regular applications through the external speakers and communication applications to the headphone.
If for any reason you want to reactivate the "Communications Headphones" one you disable you will need to right click in the sound windows and select show disabled devices.

Porting from Pre-Paid to Post-Paid

I have a Telstra Pre-Paid plan, and want to port to a Telstra Post-Paid plan. I am currently overseas, and so am unable to do it in person at a Telstra store. I have been told that I can get the credit assessment done by the 24-7 Chat team, but I would require a new blank SIM (which I would be unable to get, given I am travelling). Is there any way that I can port across without requiring a new SIM?? Thanks

That seems unusual... I know that with the reverse, going from post-to-pre paid doesn't need a new SIM card... I would suggest giving the disconnection team a call, they deal with the order for the reverse of it so might be able to help in that way as well... 132200 and say "Disconnection"

View or print pre-paid tax invoice statements

You can view and print off tax invoice statements for your Pre-Paid usage over the last 180 days through My Account. This facility is free of charge.
Please note: because of the way GST is applied, these tax invoices are only available after you've used your Pre-Paid credit, and not before such as at the time of recharge.
You can also obtain a receipt for recharging your Pre-Paid service via My Account, recharge online or when you purchase a voucher from one of our retail outlets.
Please note: this is a receipt, which is not a tax invoice, but can still be used in place of a tax invoice when used in accordance with Australian Taxation Office (ATO) guidelines.
We can't issue a tax invoice for your pre-paid recharge
A 'tax invoice' is a defined document for 'GST' purposes only under the GST Act to show the amount of GST charged on a supply. Since Pre-Paid recharges are not subject to GST, we are prevented at law from issuing a tax invoice for a recharge displaying a GST amount.
This is outlined in Division 100 of the GST Act, which applies to recharges for telecommunications services such as smartphones and tablets. We can, however, offer a receipt for a Pre-Paid recharge if purchased through one of our retail outlets, which can be used in place of a tax invoice in accordance with ATO guidelines.
You can use a receipt from your pre-paid recharge in place of a tax invoice for your own GST purposes
Telstra (and other telecommunication providers) raised this issue with the ATO to reach a resolution for customers that are GST registered. The ATO ruled that 'receipts' could be used as 'tax invoices' provided the customer could still demonstrate that the usage of the recharge was subject to GST. The ATO ruling is available through the ATO website and is stated as follows:
Sections within Issue 13 - Tax invoices for prepaid telephone cards
Nature of the arrangement
The amendments to vouchers provisions clarify that prepaid phone cards are eligible Division 100 vouchers and are not subject to GST at the time the phone cards are issued. Telephone cards are typically sold through retail outlets. The retailer will usually provide an invoice or tax invoice when the phone card is supplied. However, the taxable supply is the supply of domestic phone calls by the telco.
Accordingly the tax invoice should be issued by the telco that makes the telecommunication supplies. Due to the way in which phone cards are distributed, the telco may not have sufficient reasonable way of knowing the details of the recipient of the telecommunication supplies in order to issue them with a tax invoice.
Further, in many instances the price of the telecommunication supplies (each individual phone call, for example) will be less than $82.50 (GST inclusive) and so the telco would not have a legal obligation to issue a tax invoice.
Issue
What are the tax invoice requirements where phone calls are made with a pre-paid telephone card that is considered to be a FVV [Face Value Voucher] for GST purposes?
Decision
The Commissioner [of Taxation] will treat the receipt provided by the retailer for the purchase of a phone card as a tax invoice for the telephone calls that are made using that phone card. This decision applies only to pre-paid phone cards that are considered to be FVVs for GST purposes. The person using the phone card may need to substantiate that all telecommunication supplies:
Were taxable supplies to them (for example, not GST-free international mobile roaming supplies); and were all creditable acquisitions
If they want to claim input tax credits based on 1/11th of the price of the phone card shown on any invoice or tax invoice covered by the determination
GST applied to a pre-paid service
In accordance with Division 100 of the GST Act, GST is applied to each separate type of usage you make within the recharge amount and expiry time. Each instance of usage is taken to be a separate supply of a service for GST purposes and is assessed as to the application of GST at that time. Some usage may be GST-free and therefore no GST will be charged on those usages. This is why we're able to offer tax invoices through My Account for your usage.

I don't understand it
i purchased my recharge voucher online and in one line in your QA it is written that you can still get your tax invoice after you have used your credit. In one line it is written we do not issue tax invoices purchased online. My question is will I be able to get my tax invoice after i have utilised my credit or not?

HT1212 my ipod is disabled, i have tried the steps to restore, but i get a message from itunes saying i have to enter my password to open itunes, meanwhile i cannot enter a passcode on the touch b/c it is enabled. i do not have the original computer i sy

My ipod was disabled by my son entering the wrong pass code. I no longer have the original computer i sync to. I have tried to restore using the instructions sent by Apple Rep, and on these help pages. I get a message from itunes saying that cannot connect to ipod touch b/c it is disabled, that i need to enter passcode to continue.. meanwhile, the ipod touch is saying i am disabled and to connect to itunes. Any NEW ideas?

If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)
If none of the above work, try:
