How do I get my USB dongle connected to the internet?
Firstly, you will need to make sure your dongle is compatible on the Optus 900MHz and/or the Optus 2100Mhz frequencies. If you're using a dongle from another provider, you may also need to have it ‘unlocked' to be able to connect to the internet with amaysim mobile broadband.
