    Hi, Sorry for the delay and thanks for input so far. I have tried putting an orange SIM in the O2 dongle and stuck it in the USB the light flashes green but not blue as it does with the O2 one. Does this mean it is locked? Or how am i supposed to tell? and if it is then please would you advise me on how to I can unlock it :D
    TIA :A

    Three ways.

    First is to install the Orange Connection Manager(You'll need to un-zip it before you can install it) and then use it to try to connect to the Internet with the Orange SIM inside. If it does, disconnect immediately, it's unlocked......or download install and run DC Unlocker and with the Modem plugged in an the Orange SIM card inserted. There's an option on the software to check if modem is unlocked......or simply enter the Orange connection details in to the O2 Connection Manager.

    You can uninstall any software you install when you've done.
