X60 WWAN locked sim?

#1 Post by jiopsi » Wed Feb 17, 2010 8:14 am

Hi,

just bought X60 with Sierra HSDPA minicard, which is originally Vodafone branded and I installed Vodafone drivers from ibm site. Now it cannot be used with my non Vodafone brand connection. Is there way to unlock this, unlocked drivers maybe?

Download & install: DC-unlocker client software - If locked - you will be able to buy credits from the DC-Unlocker website to unlock etc.

Thanks, do I need to uninstall drivers first?

Yes, all relevant drivers need to be installed - as the DC-Unlocker client software needs to access the COM's ports associated with your Sierra Wireless Card & the driver software will associate the required COM's port.

There is login options, do I need to register or something, or are these my 3G-connection username?

When I try to unlock it says no username - error code 63. There is login options in server tab.

I take this is on the DC-Unlocker website? If so, you need to buy credits first before you unlock - contact the very friendly administrators for this site - They will point you in the right direction.

But before you do anything - Does the DC-Unlocker client software confirm if the card is LOCKED or UNLOCKED?

No, in dc-unlocker2client there is server tab where are username and password place. I will contact the admins. Here is what the client detects:

OK - You need to buy credits to unlock your WWAN - Check DC-Unlocker's FAQ's - If you get stuck, contact thier Admin team for a live chat etc.

Ok, I need 15€ to 15 credits to unlock. I think I will do that when I will need the 3G-connection. If I unlock this, is it unlocked always? When I reinstall I don't have to pay again?
