Just been trying to unlock the K3565-H using the link above.

I managed to get as far as entering the Unlock code and that was accepted successfully. Is that all I need to do or do I need to "flash" it? It didn't give me an option to do that and I don't quite understand the instructions after that part.

Hope I haven't rendered it useless!

Insert not native SIM, the window with inquiry about input NCK (Unlocking) should drop out, If is not present load the program " http://www.entsperren.net/HUAWEI/HUAWEI MODEM Code Writer.zip" and enter with its help, Or through program HyperTerminal (C: \Program Files \Windows NT). To unblock the modem. AT^CARDLOCK = " ". FlashCode (Flashing) it is required if suddenly you will decide to stitch.

If you've done it correctly, you can test it with DCUnlocker or by putting another SIM card inside and using it with the Unbranded Mobile Partner software

It's saying, "Please insert correct sim" so it looks like I haven't done it. Will try again.

I would prefer to unlock the ZTE 627, but that seems even more difficult.

ZTE MF627 is really easy to unlock/replace firmware. But you need an XP machine for the unlocking. Have seen reports that it works on Vista machines, but haven't tried it myself.

Thanks. I finally managed to unlock the ZTE 627, but cannot get it to connect.

I have posted a new topic in the Techie board.

Does anyone know when the credit expires? I may only want to use the service when away on holiday on odd days during the year, so I dont want to use all the top-up within 30days for example.

As far as I can tell it sets the £2 a day service on the software screens so does it mean it just charge for a days service if you plug the dongle in?

The first £2 Top Up lasts for 30 days. After that you choose the duration that you want.
If you want a Top Up that doesn't expire until you use up the data allowance, get a hold on one of the older type of Vodafone modems. Cost around £25 to £30.

I am having trouble getting an answer to the below too. The sales person told me I have £10 credit, I used £2 and got 30 days for that under the offer. She explained that my £8 now stays as a credit until I decide to use £2 to use it for 24 hrs again.

Is this correct or is my £8 going to expire? From what she said it stays as a credit until I decide to use £2 for 24 hours again?

Anyone know, thanks

No, your £8 won't expire. It's just like credit on a PAYG mobile. You use it when you use it.

Conditions received with mine state if it is unused for a period of 180 days then credit is lost and sim becomes inactive.
