Telstra 4GX USB Modem
Verified2 reviews
Things Telstra don’t tell you when purchasing a USB Modem – Your Telstra pre-paid USB modem comes with a couple of nasty catches 1. You’ll find it’s locked to Telstra only SIMs 2. Unlocking an item that you’ve already paid for may cost up to $78, depending on length of ownership 3. Even after paying to have a device you own unlocked, it may then take between 5 and 10 business days for the device to become available to other service providers 4. That’s after waiting on hold for 45 minutes listening repeatedly to a recording confirming that Telstra are aware customers don’t like speaking with a machine Perhaps I missed the fine print when buying my USB Modem all those years ago but, this is another example of terrible customer service with a trap that lasts for the life of the device Not happy Jan

This can instantly corrupt your computer! Do not ever buy one of these! – I can't believe I'm having to write this but after inserting this into my computer it crashed it instantly, I then booted it back up and it crashed it to blue screen of death. It then refused to boot up. I have tried everything to fix it, I updated my bios on my motherboard, removed any unnecessary hardware, tried recovery loop, erased my operating system and tried to reinstall no matter what I do I can't get it to run again. I'm almost certain this little USB has fried my $6,000 computer. I read online that this has happened to quite a few people due to plugging it into a USB 3.0 Port instead of a USB 2.0 Port. Despite the manual saying plug into any usb port. It should be illegal for anyone to seep this absolute junk. Shoutout to Telstra for being the worst provider there is consistently.
