I found a use for the old iPhone SE. The Men’s Shed needs better, faster & cheaper internet: currently pay $50 for 365 days access to 7 GB prepaid using an old 3G/4G wifi router. When the data runs out, $50 more gets paid & another 7 GB is allocated.
But ADLI is a reseller of the dominant carrier’s 3G/4G & offers a cheaper approach. Twice per year it releases a $99 Super Pack, a prepaid service offering a SIM card & 15 GB data over 365 days. When the 15 GB Is used up, $60 buys $70 GB data that expires on the same day as the original 365 pack. If you renew the Super Pack within 24 hours of expiry, unused data up to 200 GB rolls over into the next year’s allotment.
One member generously donated the cost of the Super Pack, I supplied the iPhone, so there’s 15 GB of free internet for the Shed’s iMac to use whenever we’re allowed to reopen post-lockdown.
Plus, we no longer have to borrow other members’ phones to make calls as the Shed now has its own mobile phone number.
