Orange Sim card with Safaricom Modem

With this new Orange data bundles...anyone know how I can use a Safaricom modem with an orange sim card. Much appreciated

Alex, Yes you can if you unlock the Safaricom modem. To unlock: http://bb5.at/huawei.php?imei=<Your IMEI Here> Then put in the Orange GSM Sim Card. You are good to go. -----Original Message----- From: Alex Mwega <alex@ims.co.ke> Reply-to: Skunkworks Mailing List <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> To: 'Skunkworks Mailing List' <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> Subject: [Skunkworks] Orange Sim card with Safaricom Modem Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2010 14:25:02 +0300 Mailer: Microsoft Office Outlook 12.0 With this new Orange data bundles…..anyone know how I can use a Safaricom modem with an orange sim card.

Thanks. So once I enter the IMEI, what happens? I'm sure there's a procedure to unlocking these devices eg where do I use the unlock code etc Has this actually worked for anyone before?

There are two options; 1. either get your safcom modem unlocked or 2. buy a universal modem from me at a cost of Ksh. 3500 this is the beauty of choice. I still discourage the first option because some users are complaining and were forced to buy the universal modem. On 24 September 2010 14:25, Alex Mwega <alex@ims.co.ke> wrote:
