Wifi pod

[madasaman]

Can I buy a VM wifi pod off the net(EBAY) and will it work with my hub. I've heard that they have to be linked by VM, and doubt if they'll do that since they won't be getting any more money off me.

The first pods had to be linked to your account to work, but not sure about the WIFI6 version.

Definitely not.

VM will never activate any equipment obtained from another source.

Their equipment is all "rented" to customers and tied to their accounts. So any on eBay are likely to be - effectively stolen property and whoever is selling it has not returned it and so will be getting a bill and their credit history will be black marked if not paid.

But surely those on the top plans get given these free of charge, so can sell them if they want to if they are not required.

[jbrennand]

Nope - they are equipment who's rental charge is included in the 1GB and Volt packages - others add them as "extras".

OK, thanks for the clarification
