Looking for a secondhand Spark Smart Router that is no longer used/wanted.

My sister had one and managed to kill it somehow (groan). I have got her setup on an old Spark Router currently. Thought I would look on here first before telling her to go into the local Spark Store to get one.

If you have one that you no longer use, flick me a pm.

You might be able to manage to ask for a free one if you ask Spark directly saying the current one no longer works.

Wander on in to your local library, get a free Skinny Jump modem. They're either the Huawei 618b or Spark Smart Modem 2. You don't need to actually activate the Jump 4G broadband, although it is a really good deal. Don't insert the supplied SIM card & use it normally. BTW: Free as in no cost, no contract, no obligation. Free.

Megabyte - so geek it megahertz

this has been mentioned here before. . .
If you don't fit the scenario that Skinny Jump is intended for then leave it for those who it applies to.

Skinny Jump is for those who don't have a broadband connection at home because cost is a barrier.

We specifically support those most at risk of digital exclusion, as identified in the government's digital inclusion blueprint.

Please stop recommending this, leave it for people that have a genuine need for this service.
