So depending on where you are it might be your only option. Telstra’s pricing is not the most competitive but the coverage is certainly the best.

If it still doesn't it's something with the device. If it does, it's a problem with the SIM card / account.

The things I see going wrong with this most often are problems with drivers; run Windows Update to make sure you have the latest ones. Other than that, make sure you see credit when you check that (click on the $ sign at the top of the Window, read manual for details). If you don't see any credit, Telstra probably didn't do the activation properly.

No wonder Telstra share prices are awful, nobody in the company can count. I used to use my phone as a modem as well, but my current phone's USB port is broken and I CBF setting up bluetooth pairing. In addition it's only 2G (GSM/EDGE). Since that review I've sold the dongle onwards to a friend without a phone line. Yeah, the prices there are completely wacky.

Notice the price difference from 5mb to 100mb and 100mb to 200mb :P. What I’ve been doing for phone data is buying 100mb blocks from Telstra at $10 each

It probably costs $3 to stamp out in the factory. Urgh yeah that’s what I’ve heard, it’s a great system, but it is so damn expensive. $150 for a USB dongle?!
