Here are these:

Unlock using the default unlock code


The Idea Net Setter USB dongle is by default compatible with only on network operator i.e. the Idea and needs to be unlocked if one likes to use any SIM from any network. You can do this by giving default code for unlocking i.e. when you insert a SIM of any network other than the Idea, you will be asked to enter the unlock code which you don't know. This code is not same for every device because it works on the behalf of the device IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) which is different for every available device in the world. So, for your device there will be a unique code which you can get by downloading the Huawei modem code writer software. This software helps you to generate the unique code for your device which you can use to unlock your dongle in a go. Below is the link to download the Huawei modem code writer software for free.

Great article! Hats off to you for helping us to unlock the dongle so that we can use it with any SIM. Paying quite a hefty sum for the dongle and getting tied up with ONE operator is something no one is interested in today's portability scenario. Thanks for the tips and procedure.
