These devices act in a similar manner to regular USB modems to access an Internet connection, but their flexibility means they can connect more than just your notebook.

Heap of crap, not only overheats, but the USB connect snaps off and Telstra refuse to acknowledge it is a fault.
Total fail....

This seems like its all to common but yeah this is a load of crap!! Telstra wouldn't accept my credit card to recharge (regardless of having previously used it with no problems). Telstra refused to acknowledge technical issues OR ANY on their part. As a result of Telstra system denying my credit card, they have blocked me from trying to recharge with any cards for 60 days!! THIS MAKES NO SENSE! Telstra sort your crap out! COMPLETELY UNSATISFACTORY!
