TELSTRA: How do I set up mobile internet on my mobile?

But note that Bigpond ties its SIM cards to the specific IMEI of a phone or modem.

A Bigpond SIM will only function in a device with its IMEI loaded into the Bigpond system.

Telstra can easily change it to a nominated phone or modem but you'll need to get a rep to do it.

Telstra is an Australian telecommunications company that offers email and Webmail services through its BigPond brand.
Webmail is a convenient way of accessing email from anywhere in the world over the Internet. You can access your Webmail account on any computer.
Telstra has experienced some issues with its BigPond email service that also has impacted its Webmail users.
Users have lost access to their email accounts and have been shut out of them.
Telstra Webmail users experienced some of these issues in September 2010.
Email Delays

Users of BigPond experienced delays in receiving and sending email during a few days of service disruption in September 2010.
Telstra told customers that the emails were being held on their server and would be distributed once the service was restored. According to Telstra, the problem impacted BigPond users across Australia.

Locked Accounts
During the service disruption, Telstra also locked out some BigPond users from their accounts. These users were not able to log in to their accounts.
According to the telecommunications company, they had to lock the email accounts in order to facilitate repair work.

Telstra Response
Telstra reacted to consumer concerns about these issues by providing regular updates about the status of the repairs.
One such Telstra status update, according to an iTnews report, said, "We are currently having problems with BigPond mail.
This is affecting customers nationally.
Customers may experience delays in receiving mail or accessing their accounts.
Technicians are treating this issue as a priority and are working on the problem."
Telstra stated that these problems came about as a result of a server outage.
According to user comments at TechWorld and iTnews, some users still did not see their problems resolved even after the company officially declared that it had taken care of the issue.
