A little advise/guidance if someone can help. I bought the E5332 from Tesco direct locked to T Mobile. I bought an unlock code from EBay and I believe that it is now unlocked. Silly me thought if I stick any data sim card into the e5332 it would allow me to connect to the internet automatically. So I took out a Vodaphone sim from an old dongle which I know works fine slipped it into the E5332 but it will not connect. Am I missing something here? Anybody with a good knowledge here able to help please..:o

You need to configure the connection manager to work with the different SIM e.g. apn, username, password settings. Google to find them for your particular type of Voda SIM.:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0

Will I have to do that everytime I put a different network sim in? I thought it was as simple as unlocking a phone, do it once then off you go?If youcan lie down at night knowing in your heart that you just made someone’s day just a little bit better,you know you had a good day!!0 -

On the connection manager that I use with a mobile dongle, I can create several different profiles for use with different networks and select the one required for the SIM being used.
Some apn settings etc. for common SIM's here:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0 -

No it didn't connect to the network though showed a good signal on the HuaweiIf youcan lie down at night knowing in your heart that you just made someone’s day just a little bit better,you know you had a good day!!0 -

Yeah, as long as the sim lock screen came up - you entered the code - and then the device found the network signal from the sim inserted it should be fine.
Apart from Giff Gaff - this device usually connects to the sim automatically - provided its a mobile broadband sim.
Maybe APN settings will need changing as suggested above.0
