Coles Selling Virgin Broadband Dongle With 4GB Of Data For $19

Lifehacker AU

We mentioned last week that Virgin Mobile 3G broadband goes on sale a lot, but this Coles deal is still pretty good: $19 for the dongle with 4GB of included data. Deal starts tomorrow and runs for a week. [Coles via OzBargain]

    There’s only one model available to buy on the Virgin Mobile site — the E153.

    Tempting to buy this, use the data and give the dongle away.

    What a load of crap. Been to 7 Coles stores now and not a single one was available at any of them. Not “we sold out”, just don’t have any at all.

    Over the past few days, Coles Beaudesert kept telling me “we haven’t got them yet”. Today when I called, they said they never got any, and the sale period ended yesterday.

    I called Coles customer care (1800 061 562), explained the situation, and the dude I spoke to took my name and address and said he would send one out to me — free of charge. Yay!

    I highly recommend calling the customer care number and demanding satisfaction. :)

      Correction: Coles mailed me a raincheck ticket, not the dongle itself. Bummer. :D
