Default What software do I need for 3G SIM - 04-24-2009, 07:45 PM

I've got a Mini 9 that's set up for Vodafone in the UK and when I got it it had been messed around with so I had to install the Vodafone Mobile Connect software on it - once I did that I was able to access the Internet with my Vodafone data SIM card just fine.

What I want to be able to do now is to put another SIM card in and access mobile broadband using that if I want to. I've tried putting another SIM in and using the Vodafone software but that doesn't work. Is there some general software I could install to allow this? Perhaps it came with some but if it did, it's been removed.

Perhaps there is something on the Dell website but what do I look for?

Thanks

There is software on dells site that provides a manager program for the 3g broadband. Located here: http://support.ap.dell.com/support/d...&fileid=274186
If you click on "<<return to results" you will be brought back to the main page. Click on the "Commincations" link to view the other WWAN downloads.
Saying that. Im not sure if this information will help you. Maybe your WWAN module is locked to vodafone if that is even possible.

Ah ha, yes, thanks for that, odly enough I'd just downloaded exactly that bit of software and it doesn't seem to allow me to connect.

Maybe I will ask in the Vodafone Eforum if their Dell is locked to Vodafone
