Optus 4G Pre-Paid Broadband has arrived and boy is it quick. Optus 4G is still only available in most Capital Cities, with the map below highlighting in dark purple where Optus 4G is available in Victoria and in brown where you would revert to Optus 3G coverage.

With data usage on Australian smart phones up 50% in the last year, 4G has arrived just in time as consumers demand faster and more reliable data connections. 

We currently have two products in our Optus 4G Pre-Paid range, these are the Optus Pre-Paid WiFi Mini Modem E589 4G @ $199 RRP & the Optus Pre-Paid Broadband E3276 4G USB Modem

Expired Pre-Paid Telco. what does that mean? Simon Davidson - Tuesday, March 20, 2012


How to escape expired 

Pre-Paid Telco stock 


Why do Optus  Pre-Paid handsets, Broadband and SIM Packs expire?

The expiry dates on these products indicate the date that the SIM card itself expires. Handset or broadband devices don’t actually expire, so bundling a $2 SIM pack with Handsets will give the consumer access to a phone number. Unfortunately there is no current $2 broadband SIM for Optus Mobile broadband products. 

SIM card's have this expiry date, so that the phone numbers on unused SIM packs can be reused. 


How does Jenlist Distributors assist with stock that is due to expire soon or has expired?

  •  Close to expiry stock ?

Jenlist Distributors offer a unique “Sale or Return” policy on Pre-Paid Telco. If there is at least 2 months left of expiry on any Optus  Pre-Paid product, Jenlist Distributors are happy to assist and will take this product back, once this is processed a credit will be applied to your account.

  •  Expired stock?

Once stock is expired the SIM card is not able to be activated. Jenlist Distributors provide $2 SIM cards, that can then be bundled with the handset, to give it a fresh phone number.

Jenlist Distributors also have a one exception policy on expired stock, where we will credit stores expired stock as a one off exception to help stores out. As you can imagine this can be a large write off for a company the size of Jenlist Distributors, so this policy is viewed on a case by case basis and depends on the amount of stock to be credited for each store.


How do I best manage my expiry dates?

Pre-Paid Telco products should be checked monthly by one of your staff members. This way you can highlight which products are nearing their expiry date and return them.

Jenlist Distributors representatives will check expiry dates when they are in store, but the responsibility  is with the store owner to manage their returns.

Seizing the WiFi Opportunity Simon Davidson - Monday, January 30, 2012


Seizing the Wi-Fi Opportunity

Is internet Wi-Fi surcharges in Australian hotels just a rip off, or is it also an opportunity for local retailers?


Personally I see it as an annoyance for myself, but an opportunity also in the same breath.


I tend to spend at least 70 nights a year in motels and hotels, mostly within Australia, but also overseas during holidays with my wife. The Australian stays are made up of regional trips to visit all our great retailers and also to attend industry conferences, trade shows and awards nights. Some areas are metro visits, but some are also very remote locations. 


What 80% of these Australian motel and hotels have in common is NO free access to Wi-Fi internet. Whereas 80% of their counter parts around the world, actually give you free Wi-Fi internet access, where you can skype your loved ones, post photos of your trip to the likes of facebook or myspace, research where you are going to go the next day and even download a movie on your tablet for the upcoming flight, train or bus trip.


I have been to hotels where they have charged as much as $24 a day for internet access in Australia.


With this in mind, it makes sense to be stocking products like our Optus Mobile Broadband that starts at $39 RRP with up to 1GB of data and 30days to use this within. Or even our Optus Wi-Fi mini modem for $89 RRP, that includes up to 6GB of data and can connect up to 5 devices at once. This is plenty of data for doing all those things I spoke of before and with 30 days expiry, is the idea product to sell to tourists.


If you are in a really touristy area, it makes sense to really highlight this type of product for the impulse sale and what better way than with a Optus Mobile Broadband dump bin.

Virgin Mobile - Robin Da Hood Simon Davidson - Friday, July 08, 2011

"A fair go for all!"
You may have all started to see the new TV ads for Virgin Mobiles "Robin Da Hood - A fair go for all" campaign. This campaign brings back the cleaver marketing that we all know and love Virgin Mobile for.

Yesterday afternoon Cassie and I were fortunate to be invited to attend a meet and greet with Sir Richard Branson to kick this campaign along.

The Virgin brand is all about sticking it to the big boys and giving consumers a fair go. So with "free voice mail" and "free Virgin 2 Virgin calls and TXT within Oz", roll over of unused credit and coverage that now covers 97% of the Australian population, you can't go past Virgin Mobile for a fair go!

This campaign is only just starting but today I have heard it on the radio and seen a write up about it in OK magazine (wasn't my magazine). So with so much going on around Virgins new offers and range it is important to ensure you have adequate stock to meet the increased consumer demand.

 Click Here to be taken to the Robin Da Hood web page, where you can get a run down on the campaign.

 


 
 


 

Why choose a Dual Band handset? Tara-Lea Albury - Monday, April 18, 2011

Why choose a Dual Band handset?

I have recently returned from three weeks of regional trips, driving nearly 4000 Km's thru regional NSW, SA and VIC, then heading up to Rockhampton in QLD.

On these trips I experienced the value in the 2 Billion dollars Optus has spent in the last 12 months upgrading it's network. 

Towns like Orroroo in SA now have Optus coverage for the first time and many more towns have increased coverage within the townships and coverage right thru to the next nearest town.

To get the most out of these upgrades it is important to ensure you are using a dual band handset. These start at $39 RRP on Optus with the Huawei U2800

On such trips retailers often ask me "what does dual band actually mean?" So here is a quick explanation on Dual Band.

Optus handsets and wireless broadband coverage runs on the two Optus frequencies 900MHZ and 2100MHZ.

2100MHZ is used in Towns and Cities to offer faster speeds and greater capacity, but multiple towers are needed to cover a large geographical area. Where as 900MHZ is ideal for regional areas as it has a wider reach as the frequency can travel further, and therefore less towers are required. 
.


So in essence having a Dual Band handset will allow you to pick up the 2100MHZ frequency in the towns and also the 900MHZ frequencies on the outskirts of these towns, giving you superior coverage as you travel.
