If you’re looking to get on a Telstra Pre-Paid mobile broadband plan and need a dongle, you might want to check out Aldi. The discount supermarket is offering the basic NextG dongle for $79 from Thursday, which is $20 less than Telstra charges themselves. It includes 5GB of data, but it’s sure to sell out quickly, so make sure you get in early. [Aldi via OzBargain via Lifehacker]
