View Full Version : Cell-C USB Modem
Hi guyz,
1. Does anyone have a Cell-c modem that they want to get rid off ?
2. Does the Cell-c USB modem work with Virginmobile sim cards ?
Please contact me I need one when I go out to sites to do PC upgrades for drivers and settings.
Thanks
DxL

Hi DxL
I can confirm that the Cell C mobile USB modem does work with a Virgin Mobile SIM card. You will need to manually input the modem initialisation string as the Virgin Mobile APN is different to the Cell C APN.
Cheers

If I want to buy the USB Modem cash, how much will it cost?
Do you get good speeds with VM in the USB modem?

my 2 cents: you can by a samba 75 at rfdesign for about R1500 excl. It also supports EDGE.

There was a massive ad on the Highway Mail today (Durban newspaper) for this thing! It looks fancy and all, but the rates are still nowhere near as cheap as Virgin! R2 / meg!
Only thing that bumms me out is that if people in my area start using EDGE, it may affect my speeds, cause Virgin piggys on CellC :)
