vodafone gt 3g quad card help

[boxer29]

hi ,
ive got this vodafone mobile connect 3g/gprs data card which i bought a while back ,,i havent used it ,,it came witha vodafone sim ,,when i called vodafone they say that i have to got a broadband sim the sim which i have is just a mobile phone sim ,is that true ,
i want to unlock it cause have a contract with o2 iphone45 which gives me free internet as well ,
how can i unlock it to use any other sim like o2 pays as your go iphone sim init ,all others are charging for the sim and it comes with free usb dongle as well ,,
i want to use mine gt 3g quad card with a laptop to use internet, i am attaching a pic as well .
i did went to dc unlocker forum as well and downloaded the dc-unlocker_client-1.00.0335.e*e will this work ,,
ive also read that these dongles are just a rebranded options one for vodafone and they are unlocked ??

i did try my iphone 3gs sim it was an o2 som but it didnt worked in it ,i tried a tmobile sim and it worked straight away ,,it means its locked ,,but why the o2 iphone 3gs sim didnt worked on the dongle ,but it did send a sms to another phone to my surprise ,do i have to change the settings ,,how can i do that ,i am currently using ver 5 of the vodafone mobile connect software ,,it came with the dongle on a cd
any suggestions

the voda can be unlocked but after still need the voda software because of the required drivers and then need different software (option) to use different sims, most voda sims are data enabled already if not just call them and they will check your sim to make sure its the correct type and then they will enable it over the air for free.
there are two types of 3g quads, make sure if you do pay to unlock you get the correct details from your card cos dcunlocker dont give refunds.

try latest voda software latest version is 9.3.3 its over 85mb

well i think mine is unlocked ,i put a t mobile sim in it and it straight away connected to the net ,but when i put the iphone 3gs sim in it which is on a contract has got internet enabled on it cause i use it on my i phone ,,it doesnt work ,,how can you change the apn setting for the card ,,
will using the new software let me change ,,or how do i change in the old software which is version 5 .
the sim which came with the card is a vodafone sim when i gave them the sim number they say that it doeesnt have a number assigned to it ,i need a sim with a mobile number for it to work ,,the company from where i got the card phone number is not working ,
what can i do ,

in the main panel click manage connections, click the view box,if you are on contract you will see vodafone uk for contract this is already setup but for payg you need to do the following.
Click "new"
In the name box type vodafone PAYG or anything else you like which will identify your payg account
click on the APN tab and change the name to "PP.vodafone.co.uk" without the quotation marks there should be a tick in use authentication and the user name is web and the password is web.
Click ok twice and you should be back in the main connect page remove your card and reinsert it, if you have done everything correctly the card should attempt to connect,a box will pop up asking to connect or cancel,if you want to go online click connect and you are online.

The pp.vodafone.co.uk and password should be changed to your providers details, some are listed here
