Unlocking an o2 AirCard750 GPRS Laptop Card

Doublespresso

I've had this on o2 for a while but as O2 will not allow surfing on their PAYG package, I'm looking to using it with Orange.

Any idea how to unlock it?

I guess I wouldn't need any cables as it goes inside one of the PCMCIA slots of the laptop, so should just be software (I hope!)

Thanks!

I imagine that there would be some form of 3rd party software to unlock it, but to be honest I would ask o2 directly and see what they can do - make the comparisons between them and orange (are you moving because it's more cost effective?) and let them know that?

edit: just read up on the topic, it appears you would require the code from o2 directly as there aren't any available utilities boxes which can unlock the Sierra Aircards.

HTH.

Thanks for that. Do you know whether they are obliged to give me the unlocking code or can they refuse me?

BTW I have asked around and itis extremely difficlut to find someone who will unlock the AirCard750... very annoying!

best thing i would say to them is to say that you intend to go abroad and to use foreign sim networks as it's more cost effective. i used that when unlocking my s700i from vodafone.

the reason why it's difficult is due to the fact that no boxes are available, and if they were it'd cost a bomb as aircards aren't that familiar to the market.
