Unlocking Spanish Vodafone USB modem stick

[westernman]

I have a Spanish Vodafone Mobile Broadband Modem USB K3770 from a prepaid pack which I would like to use with a different SIM card (in France).

Anyone know how to unlock it?

I used a bit of software called dc unlocker recently, very easy and quick, cost about a tenner.

Cheers

I don't want to hijack this post but I have two |Greek dongles one Voda. the other Cosmote that I would like to unlock will this be possible.

+1 for dc unlocker. If its a ZTE dongle, which I think it is, you will also need to uninstall the Vodafone app and drivers and reinstall a 'native' ZTE dashboard - cant find a good link at the moment though - sorry

Actually, it can be a long useless process, that takes a lot of time and energy.
I got fed up with spanish pay as you go via Vodafone, as they are always decreasing the Gb you can buy.
In the beginning it was 3, now its 1.5.
Anyway I paid a company, to free my ZTE modem, hoping to make use of Lebara.es data plan of 3 gb for 25 euro.
Well we got that particular modem unlocked, I bought a new Lebara Sim card, we went to the local WiFi spot, and worked for a bit, then we got the msg:
The ZTE drivers for this modem, are not compatible with Windows 7 , 64 Bit OS.....Guess what I have ?
So, I bought a TP LINK M5350 modem, because it is supposed to work with all European Sim Cards.
Well, I have no Idea why, but, both my macbook air, and my HP G 62 are saying Signal Excellent .......limited Connectivity i.e. Nothing.
So, I am still looking for solutions.
Someone suggested buying an iPhone 4s on sale for 260 euros, and configuring it as a modem as they, supposedly, know it will work with a Lebara Sim Card.
Any WiFI experts out there ?

DC Unlocker is the best around in my opinion

Yep, that's what I use too. That said, I'm just in the process of moving from Vodafone to Three, because Vodafone have unilaterally withdrawn the inclusive eurotraveller bundle that I've been using for the past couple of years, and Three on the other hand now extend your UK minutes/texts/data package to 16 other countries, including France, Italy, Denmark and the US, which covers me for the next month, at least.

The 3 deal doesn't cover Spain though, unless it's changed recently?

I used to use a Cosmote dongle, mine was Not locked! may be worth checking, don't know about Voda.

If you buy a SIM-less dongle (e.g. at Tesco or whatever), it doesn't need unlocking and can be used with any SIM.

Yes, thats what they told me about the TP Link, but ....It does not work with Lebara

Of course if you have an unlocked smartphone such as an iphone4 or higher or an Android device, you can use it as a wifi hotspot and share the data with your laptop or tablet.

Your contract may however charge you eye watering tethering fees!
