The Fine Print: International roaming not available with mobile broadband services. 1) Broadband speeds are available in the 3G Dual Band areas of the Optus Network. A 3G dual band (2100Mhz/900Mhz) modem is required to access the full coverage area. Outside of these areas you will fall back to Optus’ GSM/GPRS network. Acceptable Use Policy applies. Peer to peer speed is limited to 32Kbps. 2) Proof of ID required. Modems are network locked. Modems cost $80 to unlock. 3) Devices must be WiFi enabled and meet minimum system requirements. WiFi signal range varies from house to house and can be affected by the proximity of electromagnetic devices, large metal objects, bodies of water or several high density walls between your computer and WiFi modem, and the location of the WiFi modem within your home. All rates apply in Oz. See virginmobile.com.au for details. Virgin Mobile (Australia) Pty Limited ABN 67 092 726 442.
