How to Use any Sim in any Modem without Unlocking it


Let take the USB Dongles or Data cards, it is such an asset for the laptops which gives you a great opportunity on keeping touch with friends and all in your finger tips. There are lot of Network providers like airtel, Tata Docomo, Reliance and Aircel and so on. They are giving the Data cards with the Exciting Offers

How to use any sim in modem


It is always an temptation to go on with them, after the offer period was over, we thinks to change the sim, but as the Network providers will not allow this to do. The USB Dongle was locked, so you cannot insert any other sim, in variably everyone finds an solution for Unlocking the USB Dongle



I am giving an Easy way to use any sim in your USB 3G Dongle without Unlocking it, please read carefully, i am taking the Airtel modem as an Example here.

Things we need for this

1) Nokia PC Suite
2) Modem or USB 3G Dongle

Let us get started with the article, and follow the below steps neatly


  • Place your Sim in the Airtel 3G Modem, Even if it is not unlocked
  • Plug the Modem to the Computer
  • An Invalid Sim Message will appears in the computer, Ignore it and close the Modem Software
  • Then go to the Nokia PC Suite
  • Click on the File and Connect to the Internet
  • Now Click on the Settings icon and start your Configuration
  • Select the Modem from the List that is given and Enter the Operator APN ( Access Point )
  • If you use any other network than airtel, simply put that respective network access point
  • Finish the Setup
  • Connect the internet through the Nokia PC Suite
Now it is connected, Unplug the Modem and change the sim whatever you want it still works, so this trick works for all Sims. Please feel free to share this post to your friends and subscribe to my Blog updates

HOW TO CONVERT 1GB CARD INTO 2GB CARD :

 
 The application works only on 1GB cards.
1. Insert the memory card to your PC.
2. Keep a back up of all the data from the memory card, because first you have to format the card.
3. Download and install Skymedi software.
4. After installation, the application will launch automatically showing a windows with options “ Fix ” and “ Cancel ”. From the drop down menu, you have to browse the memory card.
5. Once you select the location of the card, click on “ Fix ”, it will ask you for the confirmation, you have to click on “ Yes ”. After selecting the memory card, the application will show you a size of around 955MB ;
this is because you have inserted a 1GB memory card.
6. After finishing the process, the application will ask you to unplug the memory card. Remove it and insert it
again. Now the storage capacity of the memory card is increased to 2GB. 

7. If you want to check the storage of the memory card you can click on My computer --> Memory card --> Select Properties . You will see that the size of the memory card is 2GB. Ifyou are using
Windows Vista7, you will see “ Computer ” insteadof “ My computer ”. Open that right clicks on the memory card, select properties and you will be able to check the size of the memory card. 

8. There is one more way to confirm the storage capacity. Reopen the Skymedi and select the location of
the memory card. This time it will show 1912KB , which is 2GB. 

Conclusion :
With the help of the software and instructions given above, you can double the storage capacity of your 1GB memory card. If you will buy a 2GB card you have to pay some Rupees extra, but this will not make any effect on your pocket because the software is for free. and it wil increase your knwledge
Note : There is possibility that the software may not work on some of the memory cards, if this does not
work in the first time. Do not try it repeatedly. It can result into damage in the memory card
