  • fabulous product!

    This is a great product. I carry it with me everywhere, all together with cords and login details in a sunglasses case in my handbag.

    I have tried other companies, like Vodafone and Optus. Telstra is the more expensive out of them all, but definitely is worth it because it has coverage just about every where!

  • So useful for keeping on top of life while on the go

    We had to purchase a 3G version while we were moving house as my husband was working and setting up his home office while we were waiting for services to be connected and it was so useful. After we had used it for the gap in our internet coverage it sat around til we had a holiday and then IT WAS A GODSEND! I could still access our online accounts with our tablet and emails and check local hotspots while we were out and about. It was so useful that we took it everywhere and now we've upgraded to the 4G version and it's even faster and still comes everywhere :D

  • Saves time with such a fast internet connection!

    We have been Telstra customers for many years now. They are well known for their excellent reception in even the poorest of reception areas and have always been incredibly reliable. Now with the portability of their Mobile WiFi 4G Device and convenience of being able to connect five devices to the one mobile hotspot they truly do make everyday internet use even easier, faster and even more flexible. Telstra truly have excelled themselves with this device!

    Have brought the device & am loving the fact that I can check my emails on my IPad :). Great to be able to use these to keep up to date with things back home! We are able to face time the family that did not come to Perth!

    My family and I use this everyday. Great coverage in a rural area and we don't need to fight anymore over who is going to use the computer for the internet. I am also able to take it with me on the road and it covers my every needs.

    Sadly after last week we were called back to get further work done on our car...not so sad though as i sit here with my TELSTRA 4G checking my mail and search for a rental property!

    Son is also playing on our old iphone so he is happy...which makes mum happy!!

    So impressed with this little light weight machine!

    Def top it up and use it again.

  • WiFi access during a presentation

    Attended a holiday timeshare presentation. Was great to be able to take the IPad & check our membership details during a recent owner timeshare presentation. In the past we would write the info, race home & try to temember what we were supposed to do. Fast download speed!!!!

  • Not amazing.

    It's great to have something such as Internet avaialble via a small little device that is portable, however I have found that the battery does not last long at all and when being used, someone downloading something etchin it chews through the battery morel the batter seems to last about 4hours for us max so as much as it is portable etc it isn't good for long trips. It is really easy toget it up and started and connect. If anything it needs to come with a car charger or have a better battery.

  • Fantastic for On The Go

    This device is fantastic. The network coverage and the ease of use is one of the biggest bonuses. Its great to be able to access the internet at faster speeds (rather than chewing up mobile phone data). Great for on the go people, or anyone who needs to be online while they are away from the home!

  • Internet on the go, great innovation

    I was fortunately given this little device by Telstra due to the excessive length of time it was taking to fix our internet connection at home, I was a little hesitant as I am not tech savvy, however it was easy to connect all the laptops in the home to it, you can also take it with you when you go out, so the mobility of it is fantastic, My sons took it with them when they went out to a friends and thought it was great, I think that for anyone who uses their laptop or tablets away from the home or office it is fantastic, it worked well, it had fast speed, easy to connect, only problem I can see is that it is expensive to recharge as it is mobile. if the cost was to come down I think it would be better, but it is a great product.

    No good if you have heaps of email with attachments or anything you need to upload or download - as it chews the data and becomes more expense than what its worth. Probably better turning your automatic updates off

  • handy

    I got this because I get no internet on my mobile down the street, it works brilliantly. I have Adsl2 at home so it is only used down street but that is what it was bought for and it does it's job great. I do think it could do with a little longer battery time though. It works a lot better then the Vodafone dongle however it is more expensive especially when you already have dial up at home and only use it for down street. For those on a budget it would work oout cheaper to get adsl2 at home if you didn't require it down the street. Otherwise it's good reception.

  • Great!

    I bought the Telstra Mobile Wi-Fi 4G Device when I had an extended hospital stay and it's fantastic. I had access to the internet on my laptop without any dropouts and the signal strength was good all of the time. It took a little bit to set up but once its set up its so easy to click and connect. Love being mobile and still having access to the internet and my emails. Highly recommend this device and the carrier Telstra.

    easy to set up and great accessibility and signal strength. it connects to devices pretty quickly which is great.

    the rates are ok but i heard they were going to get cheaper. you can connect a few devices which is great. the unit itself actually gets really warm when you have been using it for awhile

    I really enjoy the freedom of taking it with me and the accessibility is just great the kids also love connecting their iPods to it they enjoy doing some things on the internet without chewing through my internet data on my phone and I don't have to find wifi as I always have it with me so my choice of where to go is endless

  • Good product - not great plans

    I love the product itself but feel that Telstra lets it down by the plans (pre and post paid) that accompany it. It would be great if they offered one of these with a larger down load limit so that families could use it as their all in one internet provider as opposed to having to have a landline connected as well.

  • Easy and convenient

    Our fixed broadband usage was different every month and the bill was driving my nuts so I looked in this little device. It has been a fantastic change! Comes with us on our weekends away and what Mr 16 calls

    Boring family days so he always has his iPad . Love the prepaid option as I feel I am more in control of the spend and usage and the speed and coverage is fantastic. So glad I made the change won't be bothering a fixed Internet connection again.

  • A great product to take on holidays

    We recently went on holidays and used the wi-fi device for ease. It was also great to make sure we didn't use the hotels wi-fi which costs a fortune. I would certainly do this again next time we go on holidays. Easy and a must to put on your holiday packing list.

    Right now I'm using the 4G on my computer (yep! i know - how old school not a notebook) but come time for after school and there are 3 whom need to access the internet. First we have the High-school Child and their homework and then two primary school aged getting on via mobile phone or the xbox and add this computer and another mobile this little machine can keep everybody happy!

  • Tried it before and it’s definitely one of the better companies to do surveys with. They make it so easy, the website is easy to navigate and the surveys are generally not too long. It’s easy to do whilst on the couch or filling in time! Definitely worth checking out to earn some extra cash.

  • Purkle is fun! Not a lot to earn from but if you like filling up surveys or voicing ypir opinions, it is definitely worth a try. Sometimes there are survey on music which are the most fun ones and also, these are the ones that reward the most. Not bad to earn a gift card or 2 in a year!

  • I love Purkle. While the surveys don’t award massive sums, the surveys themselves are never long. Other platforms want a minimum of 10 minutes which can be hard to commit to during day time chaos. It doesn’t take long to accumulate a decent sum, and I use gift cards as a way to treat myself. They can be redeemed for grocery gift cards. I’ve cashed out over $200 in a year and a half. Give it a go!

  • I’ve been with Purkle for a few years now. One of my favourite survey and money earning platforms. Easy to build up a balance and redeem your earnings. Love sitting down and completing my purkle surveys, to see balance grow. I use this to treat myself or put towards presents for Christmas

    Reply

  • I’m not having any luck with purkle. I tried to sign up for it and it just wasn’t working so I emailed them and didn’t hear back, I just tried again now and managed to create an account but then the activation email contained no link to click and actually activate my account. From the comments here it looks like I’m not missing anything anyway

    Reply

  • I’ve earnt a bit through Purkle and other survey sites. They are great passive income. I don’t mind that Purkle pays in gift cards as it provides a great opportunity for me to buy something for myself as opposed to putting cash away for expenses. But cash is always good!

    Reply

  • Surveys have been great to keep me awake while feeding my newborn at night but I agree with some of the comments that the time commitment is too high for the benefit. I do not believe i will continue using it once baby starts to sleep through and get through feeds quicker.

    Reply

  • I tried Purkle for approx 1 year and quite frankly it’s really not worth your time
    Very few surveys and very low amounts paid
    Worst thing is it only pays in gift cards so no cash
    I gave up and just stuck with my original survey site that I’ve been using for years
    It makes me $120 average in PayPal a week without too much effort and supplies the family with an annual holiday without touching the household budget

    Reply

  • It’s a shame I’m already a member and can’t enter the competition. Surveys in general – including Purkle – can be a good way to earn some money, but just remember you won’t earn much from any one survey. It does add up over time though, and isn’t particularly difficult to do.

    Reply

  • This is a nice way to earn a bit extra money but you won’t earn a lot. Some surveys time out too which is annoying or hey just stop working half way through. If you have spare time and want to do it then why not. I sometimes do these on the train on my way to work and it slowly builds up to allow you to get a reward. It all helps.

    Reply

  • I joined Purkle ages ago but to be honest I have never used it and totally forgot that I joined let alone that I could be earning money and points while being at home. Any opportunity to make some money and try to help financially, off I go to rejoin I think!

    Reply

  • I have joined up and hope to gain some bonuses. I realise it won’t be a lot but it’s good to know from genuine people on here that have been part of purkle that it is a real site. So many scams out there so good to know this isn’t one of them.

    Reply

  • Purkle is a great surveys site. I’ve redeemed vouchers from there. You’re not going to make a fortune from it but you do definitely earn for your time. I haven’t done any for a while as I just haven’t had rhe time but I’ll definitely get back into it. The vouchers always come in handy.

    Reply

  • The inner sceptic in me will prevent me signing up! I’m not against a survey, however I would rather do one here and there when I can with the incentive of winning something big! Even a $100 voucher. At the rate I win, it works out better than signing up for this.

    Reply

  • I registered to give it a go. Hopefully it will be fun and easy. I often wonder where these survey figures come from so I now realise sites like this are it.

    Reply

  • I’ve neer been on Purkle yet. Although I have nothing against having your say and sharing your thoughts, advice and opinions there is one thing that I hate and that is surveys ! Quite often the available answers to chose from do not resemble my thought and you end up chosing the answer that comes closest to your ideas, but is not really it.

    Reply

  • Some of these surveys can’t be done on your phone and they can be quite repetitive. I earn $20 every few months and these days, every little bit helps with the cost of living

    Reply

  • I do the occasional survey for some extra money or when I want to treat myself to something a little special. I actually saved my survey fly buys dollars and treated myself to a Kitchen Aid mixer. It was worth all the time doing the surveys as it allows me to make lunch snacks so much quicker

    Reply

  • I love doing surveys but I do find they time out a lot after you have spent time doing them. It is a great little way to make some extra cash on the side. You need to have the time to do these regularly and working full time I don’t these days but still love to earn a few dollars when I can.
