Set up and activate Telstra Pre-Paid mobile broadband

Set Up Your Pre-Paid Mobile Broadband WiFi Device
Activate Your New Telstra Pre-Paid Service

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 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.   

  • 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.       

  • Tried to drag a progam to the trash but each time I did a window pops up and say that i cant moved it to the trash as the application is open.. the program i wish to uninstal is a pre-paid mobile broad band a

    I tried to drag the program i wanted to uninstal to the trash but each time i try a window pops up and tells me i cant as the application is open and i know it,s not??? the program i want to uninstal is a pre paid mobile broad band,  thank you Marie 
    I have tried going to the  program it self but no where can i find how to uninstal it . I,m getting very frustrated with  this C.P  as at least  with windows you went straight to the control panel and went to ADD/Remove, and clicked onto the program you wanted gone and clicked on it and it uninstaled . GRRR

    I assume that the app didn't come with an uninstaller application/script?
    If you definitely want to trash it have a look in Activity Monitor and your Login items, as there may be something running in the background that is preventing it being trashed.
    System Preferences>Users & Groups (or Accounts depending on OS), Login items tab and delete anything that pertains to the app you want gone.
    Next, Utilities Folder>Activity Monitor, have a look to see if there is anything running with the name of the awkward app. Select it and click on the the big red 'quit process' button. Now try and trash it.
    If you are still having trouble you could try downloading the free AppCleaner:

  • I bought a second hand ipad mini without a simm chip. Can I buy one at the Verizon store and get a pre-paid plan?

    I bought a second hand ipad mini without a simm chip. Can I buy one at the Verizon store and get a pre-paid plan?

    IPad mini unless branded for Verizon use will not be accepted for prepaid use. Apple will tell you that the mini is compatable with all carriers, you simply walk into the carrier of choice and ask for a nano Sim.
    You pop it in, you turn on cellular if not already on and follow the screen prompts to get you up and running. Its quite easy.
    I found my wife's mini only functions on Sprint, T-Mobile and AT&T who I set up service with.
    Verizon blocks the activation due to the emeid of the device. Apple says it is fully operable on Verizon but they don't let you activate unless its purchased from them or from Apple to use on their system.
    Good Luck

  • #MobileInsider – Telstra Pre-Paid 4G My Pocket Wi-Fi Plus

    Hi everyone!
    Our reviewers have received (or should receive very soon!) their Telstra Pocket Wi-Fi devices and the reviews will begin here. 
    If you'd like to be chosen as a Mobile Insider or would like to find out more please click here.
     and  are our amazing reviewers this time around, so watch this space for their feedback. 
    Please post below if you'd like the reviewers to keep anything particular in mind when they're writing about their first impressions of the devices. 
    You can read more about the Telstra Pre Paid Pocket Wi-Fi here 

    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 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

    Re: Install and activate Telstra Online Security
    Trying to follow the emailed instructions to load Online Security onto a new HP Pavilion with Windows 8.1 .
    When I load Online Security and re-start, it returns to the download routine and tells me there is an old version that needs to be removed. It goes into an endless loop of removing/re-installing/re-starting.
    When I try to load Safe Browser it locks the computer after indicating approximately 75% complete. I tried several times. On one occasion I had to "REFRESH" the laptop and this re-initialised the computer, taking me back to the initial set-up of the device.
    The instructions appear to be out of date.

  • If I buy a Telstra Pre-Paid Wi-Fi 4G can I connect my Mac PC to it?

    If I buy a Telstra Pre-Paid Wi-Fi 4G can I connect my Mac PC to it?

    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.
    You can read the SLA for yourself - the link to the downloads to all licenses is here:

  • How to unlock your Pre-Paid Mobile

    Find myself overseas (Europe) and guess what...... Forgot to unlock the phone.Have just read about unlocking, how to get the MEI number etc. etc. BUTTo do THAT you have to be in a service area. Telstra is NOT in the Netherlands. So, spent a lot of money getting a Telstra bundle which INCLUDES access to the FON network, apparently tens of millions of WiFi hotspots all over the world. This then allows me to use my home internet allowance.I have sofar been to 3 Telco shops here to see how I might still be able to so without the FON app on my phone but the trouble is:   No one here seems to have heard of this FON network????? So yes, my own stupid fault not unlocking my phone (But I would have bought a second el cheapo handset rather than give Telstra MORE money AGAIN) but have I once again been conned by another Telstra ""almost true"statement regarding these wifi spots???? And is it really impossible to unlock my phone from here???  

    You can call Telstra from overseas via +61 4 39125109 or +61 2 9396 1193. They can then put you through to the prepaid unlocking team who will walk you through the process involved, and possible costs, to unlock your phone.

    It doesn't address what I needed help with
    I am in Malaysia with Telstra Long Life so I can receive my banking secure code when necessary from St George. However, it never arrives in time, if at all. So basically the service is useless for me and I have wasted $80. What can be going wrong and how can i ensure I receive a bank secure code sms in time that I can use it before the banking website cuts it off?
    I also cannot see on the My account page where I can get the online help. I think this should always be in the bottom corner of the page as I have spent ages looking for it - depending where you are on Telstra's site, sometimes it is there and sometimes not. VERY confusing.
    Thank you Janet Mills
