While it should just work and many do if it does not can you please
provide some information Telstra helpfully lables all their modems
Telstra something or other however they are actually rebranded from a
variety of different manufacturers. Often the device will have some
more information on it such as the manufacturer and a model number.
Otherwise if you can give a description of the device and how and when
you got it and what service you are on (Telstra mobile plan, Telstra
prepaid, or Bigpond) I should be able to figure it out. I used to work
for Telstra and in my spare time would play with the new usb modems.
