I ordered a sim from Ovivo after emailing them to ask if their sim would work in my vodafone K3565 dongle they replied and said no problem as long as it is unlocked - well its unlocked and will not work they are being most unhelpful firstly asking if we have the original packaging (we bought the dongle almost 4 years ago) then the next call asked for the software version then they kept escalating the query to a higher technical department with no joy we asked for a refund they want me to return the sim 1st, anyone advise if it will work and how to go about it as I prefer to keep the sim card for Data but feel they didn't have a clue.:mad:

okay install your modem as normal, then insert the sim card. click on priorities and the click add settings you then need to input ovivo's settings

I would agree, Vodafone are very good at locking down their software. You might need to find a generic version of the dashboard software and use that, which then allows changing of APN etc.

Edit

A quick google brings this up with might be of use:

Would be a shame to loose out on the Ovivo deal cos of a dongle.
I have bought unlock codes from eBay sellers for £1 and they worked every time. Just make sure to get the right code for the model.

I also have a K3565 Vodafone dongle which doesn't even work with the original non-expiring sim following a software update ages ago. I now use a 3 dongle which I managed to lock myself.

You could try using Globe Visibility Connection Manager instead of the VF interface.

The connection details for Ovivo are

Config Filename - Ovivo
Dial Number - *99#
Use the following APN name - gprsconnect.com

Edit to add - the connection settings are changing this month and all users will be contacted with the new settings.

I just got a new phone which is locked to Vodafone, a Vodafone Chat 655W. I put my Ovivo sim in it and I can makes calls and send texts, but I cannot access the internet, I have manually added the APN, although it works fine over wi-fi.
