Super glue would be the simplest solution.  Otherwise you would probably have to do something to the firmware of the dongle and even then if the user pulls the SIM from the dongle and puts into another dongle or a phone that won't help.  Maybe you could set up a private APN with the carrier which would route all the data traffic from the SIM through your server at which point you could do some kind of filter on the traffic.  Safaricom can set this up for you but it isn't cheap.

Guys,



I guess I should have indicated what the problem was in more detail.

I have users accessing a restricted platform on a laptop. This platform
gives them access to a vpn among other things. When the users are on the
field, they need access to the net to enable a connection to the vpn, thus
we give them a dongol.



They obviously require the pin to operate. But I don't want them using the
dongol on any other pc except that restricted laptop.



Zuhair.
