3G Router

Yes, it's basically a 4 or 5 port switch + a WiFi access point with a datacard slot, quite cool!

Have a look on the forum, I posted a picture at some point.

They were due for release this week.

Mams,

Any suggestion as to the price of this baby?

3 G Router & mobile connect Card + 1Gb Data = R 679 on 24 months contract..
Details:

1gb data + datacard = R599 pm
3G Router = R 80 pm
Itemised billing R 17.10 pm

according to the advert, it seems you can bolt on the 3G router onto your existing contract for R80 ( x 24 )

V3G?
 
As my datacard is paid for by our company and I want the router at home, can we buy it cash? Where, when and how much?

Yeah, I would be keen on a cash purchase as well.
 
Spoke to 155. They called my closest Vodashop at Tygervalley while I waited and checked for me and confirmed it is coming. Was nice enough to sms me the shops number. Spoke to Michael (021-9142910) at the Vodashop. Confirmed it is coming tomorrow at 12:00 (according to the Voda memo). I ordered one, he will call when it arrives. Price R1,999 incl VAT.

That outdoor antenna V3G had installed for me is going to be handy now. And my housemate can stop requesting access to the net and use her own laptop with wifi.

I'd be interested in the "bolt on" option ... how would I go about that, as I already have a 3G ONE contract, and it's about 6 months in. V3G???

Yes, this is going to be a great solution for you, you can now roam via WiFi while still working across 3G. (Sell some bandwidth to your neighbours!)
 
V3G ... for existing subscribers ... is our only option to buy the router cash? or is there some way to add it in to our current subscription?
 
thanx :) ... any news/word on the external antenna (the big boy) ?
 
In biometrics case....He's got a serious tower and high-gain Yagi setup, so I'm pretty sure his neighbours can't get the same coverage.

In any case, it's silly to pretend a few clever guys (read forumites!) won't set up a local WiFi network and share internet connectivity. Just a logical extension of launching a WiFi/3G access point.
 
Nothing was delivered on Friday. 155 can't find stock anywhere.
 
V3G, any news on this? 155 and the Vodashops are clueless on this one.
 
Yesterday a lady on 155 called all the Western Cape branches for me while I was on hold.
 
It's definitely available but the shops might not have stock yet. I'll see if I can get a product code. Might be similar to the adaptor cards, the shops might not know they've got them....
