3g USB dongle (Huwaei) Mobile Partner Software setttings for different UK networks |
I write the following post based on my experience, if there is any mistake, please kindly email me at sales@kingmobilephone.com and I will then amend it.
After you have unlocked your dongle, in order to use the dongle on a new network provider, you need generic Huawei internet Connection software.
Download it here -> Huwaei Mobile Partner Software
Note: At the moment, the Huawei Mobile Partner Software only works on Window XP, Vista or Window 7.

Open the software and input the new service provider internet settings, here I use a O2 UK as example ( I use dynamic APN, but if dynamic APN doesn't work to you, try the static APN option).
- Acess point is always *99# or *99***1#
- APN box, you can leave it blank (if it doesn't work, then you will have to type in the APN info I listed below)
Press SAVE
Press connect = DONE
Common use APN setting

Three

If the above settings dont work, try using the APN without a username and password
Companies such as ASDA, Tesco, Virgin Mobile etc who re-sell the above networks under their own brand will usually have a different APN e.g. ASDA (who use Vodafone) is ‘asdamobiles.co.uk’. Please contact the operator for details or check their website.

Hi KingMobile Excellent
Hi KingMobile Excellent site. Wonder if I might ask a question of you?
I have windows 7 64 Bit which does NOT recognise the O2 E160 Huwaei dongle which I bought in the UK. I was on business in Germany and bought an o2 SurfStick which is the Huwaei E1550 which worked perfectly in Germany (although the software was German!).
Is there any way to get this surfstick replaced with the original Huwaei dashboard and be able to use it on O2 with the sim that came with the E160? Problem that I foresee is that the Sim is a PAYG sim and I am not sure that topping up will work.
Regards
Dave Morgan
Dave, you can certainly
Dave, you can certainly unlock your O2 german E1550 dongle with the unlock code. I am afraid at the moment, we have not got any original firmware (dashboard) for E1552 yet, but you can still use your dongle with other networks using the Huwaei Connection Manager Software (It's called Mobile Partner Software).
Basically, you install the mobile partner software, input the new network settings and you can use it right away. The german branded O2 software which installed in your dongle by default will still pop up on screen, but you can just close the program and it won't affect the connection at all. Hope this info helps Ben
