In the previous post How to unlock 3G dongle we have seen how the customers are being lured to go for promotional offers from mobile operators and they buy 3G data cards at reduced prices with some freebies offered by the mobile operators. When some customers find the services or tariffs of present mobile operators unsatisfactory they are in search of alternatives but they can’t use the dongle until they unlock 3G dongle so that it can be used with other SIM of other mobile operators. In a previous post, we have seen how to unlock Teracom dongles but many operators provide dongles of Huawei, ZTE, NEC, LG, Nokia, etc so in this post
