I’m yet to try it myself, so please take it as-is.

Let me know how you get on.

Do not use QMAT Version 3.74 any more as it is buggy.

Download new version at : http://revskills.de

Worked fine for me after downloading required files. etc.I’d searched for ages before stumbling on this site. what p’d me off with the mobile partner software & the E220 was that I couldn’t find out if it was locked or if there was another problem the think just blinked green twice and sometimes said the sim wasn’t Ok but it didn’t always say that.

I previously had an E220 from operator A (I’m in Europe, but not in the UK). By installing firmware from the Huawei site, I unlocked the modem, and I was subsequently able to dial in to operator B, using a phone number and generic userid/password found somewhere on the web.

The question is: since I was using a SIM card from operator A, but using operator B’s network, where does money/payment come into the picture? If my contract with operator A specifies some usage limitations, who is going to enforce them? And, does all this mean that I can use the modem overseas for free (assuming, of course, that I’d be able to find a phone number and userid/password appropriate for the country I’m in)?

Please ignore the above post – I’ve already resolved those questions. Thanks.

Vodafone’s femtocell won’t improve mobile broadband

vodafone_femtocellVodafone UK have just announced the availability of thier new “3G coverage booster”, aka a 3G femtocell.  This little box of tricks plugs into your home broadband connection and routes calls over the internet and onto Voda’s network.  This is welcome news for those of us with 3G handsets who are unable to access data services or make reliable voice calls due to poor coverage.

However, it’s not great news for mobile broadband users.  Although it’s unclear if the femtocell supports higher speed technology (HSDPA), the fact that it routes the data over your ADSL connection should be enough reason to rule it out.  If you’ve got ADSL at home, why bother using your mobile broadband allowance when fixed line is far cheaper and faster?

Great post here from Farmers Weekly – not on my normal feed list but could be one to add…  A farmer in the UK has been struggling to get decent mobile broadband speeds from his three dongle so he’s stuck it on a tube and hoisted it 6 meters into the air!
