I have gathered that lot of members of Money Saving Expert forum asking same question which related to this Title. So this is the full answer,

Simply follow the instructions, enter the Unlock Code (NCK) and your Modem is unlocked.

In order to unlock your Huawei Modem it require your IMEI number. You can find this 15 Digits IMEI No. from the backside of your Modem. it is something like,

IMEI : 356635026733333
( Note : This a Dummy No.)

Your IMEI number is always 15 digits long & Once you receive your IMEI No. you can calculate Unlock Code (NCK Code) from the following link by submitting your IMEI No,

Once you receive your Unlock Code, simply follow the instructions below and your Modem will be free to use on any GSM network.

Got one of these on offer from T-Mobile a few months back. Was just about to go in the drawer as I've decided I need full strength broadband, but great to know that when I need it again I can go with whoever has the best deal on offer. Thanks!

OP, thanks, very helpful post.

My dongle is from Orange and automatically loads the Orange Everywhere software when it is plugged in. When I get an O2 PAYG SIM is there any way I can delete the Orange software from the dongle?

You can stop it from starting up automatically, by using MSconfig or the start up tool within CCleaner to disable the corresponding item.

Then you can start the connection up manually or install generic connection software for you make and model of modem.
