Unlocking E173 Huaewai BB Dongle.

Got this as a spare few weeks ago and am trying to unlock it with dcunlocker, its asking me to enter the Sim Pin, stupidly I binned all the packaging that it came in thinking I didn't need it.

Its locked to Meteor, is there any work around:o

Could try enter the pin wrong 3 times and then getting the PUK from Meteor? Not sure if its the same with dongle.

There is other unlocking software online.
I don't think this requires a pin: http://www.ruchirablog.com/guide-unlock-huawei-hsdpa-modem-free/

I used it and it worked.

Theres a broken link on that and E173 is not listed.

I tried this http://www.onlinebitsandpieces.com/2010/04/unlock-huawei-modems/
last night and got an unlock code but it didn't seem to work, though no message.


The DC Unlocker report said: SIM Lock status : Locked (Card Lock)


Its a bit confusing as I want to unlock the dongle not the card S.O.S:D
