Idea Cellular, Reliance communication, Vodafone, BSNL mobile, and Airtel have introduced their 3G services with Huawei modems. The idea has launched modems, in which we can use only Idea SIM cards. This means you can not use other SIM cards like Airtel, Aircel, etc. But, after unlocking the E1550 dongle, you will be able to use different SIM cards in Idea Netsetter. Users who have purchased the E1550 3G modem may be facing the problem of unlocking their modem via my previous post.
Huawei E1550 offers high-speed WCDMA /EDGE /GPRS and can also be unlocked like other modems, but not through the normal procedure. I mean, E1550 Idea can not be unlocked with only an unlock code; you have to update the firmware too.

1. Insert the Idea Netsetter to PC with the default SIM card.
2. Let it install the default software of the modem.
3. Now, close the software of the modem.

6. Now, change the SIM card and again connect to the PC.
7. Open Huawei mobile partner.
