Folks, for those using the Huawei E160 modem, this software upgrade should be most welcome. Hopefully the bundle utilisation stats will now be open to better scrutiny.
Quoting the included readme:
Benefits of upgrading the modem; a) Bundle Purchase-Bundle purchase has been made easier for you and now you do not need to memorize the various short codes for activating various bundles. b) Balance Enquiry-Your account balance is automatically displayed everytime you select My Pre-pay icon. c) Bundle Balance-You can check your bundle balance by selecting Check Bundle Balance d) Improved User Experience-With the upgrade, you can now be able to send text messages while still connected to the internet. e) Macintosh users will now have the full Safaricom Broadband Interface that allows text messaging.
