Much easier way to unlock. Download and flash modem with this http://www.huawei.com/mobileweb/en/f...=20497&ctype=1 . You get Huawei dashboard. All you have to do is configure APN (on some networks). tested on Vodaphone E220. Works 100%.

For South Africa MTN requires no configuration. Vodacomm APN must be set to STATIC and "internet" in lower case. Have not had achance to check settings for Cell C or Virgin yet. Will do so later

later version of software http://www.huawei.com/mobileweb/en/f...=20517&ctype=1

I used the 1st one.

The above is for XP and Vista, but I believe that you might have to do one or other tweaks to get modem to work on Vista

i want to downgrade my Huawei e220 ,is it donwgradable with the old firmware ?

succesfully upgrade but not supported here in my country .... any one have?

fantomel · 11-28-2008, 11:57

shaggydogza your solution is only to upgrade the data data card, like this you get rid of your provider software but does not unlock it to be used with other sim's from other providers. the dashboard and client software gives you access to mobilepartner software,drivers support for vista and upgrades the modem's speed to 7.2Mbits.

fantomel · 11-28-2008, 11:59

Mang mel to my modem i have managed to upgrade and downgrade it's firmware without any problems.

fantomel · 11-28-2008, 12:08

Read my post carefully. It does. My E220 was locked to Vodaphone (Vodacom) here in South Africa. Now I can use any card from any SP. Try it then comment

Tested Cell "C" and Virgin...both work as well, same APN settings as MTN, just virgin is slow
