    I am using this with my 3 contract. Can I unlock this and use an O2 PAYG sim card (which I have just got) for when I am not in a 3 signal area, and the use the 3 sim card the rest of the time?

    Sorry if this is a daft question, thought I would ask the experts before I started to mess around with it myself.

    Have no idea if the firmware here will work with the ZTE MF112.

    Unlocking instructions in the first post.... or you can use the alternative and use a generic connection manager/Dashboard.

    You only had to go back one page

    There is both Testra and Globe firmware. The Telstra firmware has more options.

    Does the Telstra session manager/firmware work with Win 8 ? If no, where will I find one that does ?

    TIA

    Couldn't get mine to word with Windows 8 (which I hate with a passion!)

    Windows 8 Drivers

    Install the modem firstly and then run the .exe file in the package above in order to install the Windows 8 Drivers.
