Nirvana 4 Report post Posted December 16, 2008 Exactly, especially since you are in Dubai. Try to find out some other creative uses for it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shezad 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2008 ok fine, but why they put sim slot in USB modem if u cant use it with other network I have checked here with local ISP provider they are also providing same type of modem with their company logo and monopoly like i have reliance modem. I heard that if u can unlock your modem then you can use this modem with other network is it possible ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shezad 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2008 I have other sim from OMANTEL also which is CDMA operator in OMAN can i use this if yes then tell me if u know how to unlock modem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nirvana 4 Report post Posted December 16, 2008 There is no such "unlocking" for CDMA. You can only "program" it to work with another operator which is referred to "cloning". You can try using the RUIM slot. I remember a topic somewhere to enable the RUIM slot for a data card, try searching for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KumaarShah 143 Report post Posted December 16, 2008 Have you ever used any other SIM from the other OMAN operator. Borrow a SIm from someone and insert it int your modem. Try it, if it works, buy another SIM. Else, junk your data modem or sell it for whatever price you get.... This is not GSM tech, so you will have these problems always....
