@Edge:
Check your OS. You do not just install on any platform.
In case of problems contact me.
Cheers

Very few providers still have free open ports. You could try a proxy that rewrites free urls like mobile.facebook.com but I can assure you that will still be dpi'd.

If you have done it before getting the modem up should not be too difficult for me. The goodness with Wi-Free I understand is that it enables you to use modems "toll free". You get a connection to the Internet from a cellular phone network provider (Orange) without purchasing air-time or data bundles from them per se. Rather you use an application (Wi-Free) that allows you to surf using open ports on the provider's gateway servers and give the wi-free people some cash, Kshs. 600.00 or so.

You can share your successes/frustrations as you progress. For starters you can get a working ppp.conf from me (also available online). For the modem to work, you'll need to disable the virtual cdrom using the AT command: AT^U2DIAG=0, assuming you go the Huawei route. If this Wi-Free is what is being described here -> http://www.wi-free.com/download.html, then I don't see a variant for Unix that you can deploy on *BSD.
I still don't understand what's so good with this Wi-Free anyway...maybe one day I will get the gist!

Thanks @Wash, I will give it a shot then and likely post a few comment back.
