“I want to combine a new laptop and Telstra Mobile Broadband data plan in one convenient package”
You can set yourself up with a complete business mobility package in one step, thanks to the latest embedded laptop and Mobile Broadband Plan bundles from Telstra and Acer. Three of the latest Acer laptops are now available with a Telstra Mobile Broadband Member plan, for a monthly amount.
Using an embedded or ‘WWAN’ laptop means there’s no need to use an external USB device or PC card to connect to the Next G™ network. Setting up your mobile broadband access is as simple as inserting an activated SIM card into the back of the laptop and logging on.
These embedded laptop offers are available for purchase in any Telstra retail store and displayed in participating Telstra Business Centres, Telstra Shops and Licensed Stores. Download a list of participating retailers here.
