Hi folks, I'm looking to get a mobile broadband modem for Christmas. I was originally considering getting a T-Mobile stick for £50 as they do the £2 a day mobile broadband. However it seems that I can't get T-Mobile 3G where I live, it appears that the reception is a bit better on Three.
I found this guide on The Inquirer a while ago about using a Three E220 modem (IIRC the soap on a rope modem) on Vodafone - http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/784/1007784/avoid-roaming-disasters Now I was wondering if it's just a case of plugging the modem in and changing the profile settings, or do the modems need some sort of firmware update to unlock them? From what I gather with the case of the E220 it just needs some different software from Huawei's web site. So I just wondered if anyone had managed to use a SIM from another network in a Three or T-Mobile USB broadband modem stick on Ubuntu?
