Yes it is possible. Preferable do use the old mobile partner interface. Use either the 8ta interface or MDMA.

Ubuntu...
Also if we use it it will be purely on the router, the e220 is for testing purposes as the router is keeping our internet going through a vodacom sim at present (as cellc is gprs only in our area and I can't get 8.ta to work).

Hi the E220 works with the 8ta SIM with the default Mobile Partner.
Please try the 8ta Connect that you can download here http://www.8ta.com/downloads/
Thank you

Heya!
I'm happily using the 8ta 2+1GB Promo on my firmware-modded Vodaphone Huawei E220 (Firmware modded to unlock being Vodacom only, and to unlock the 8MB for lols)
Ignoring my horrifically low signal (-105dBm), I'm using MDMA, and my max transfer speed so far is at 305kb/s, although normally average 200+ local.

The E220 like many older modems does not offer HSPA on 900MHz, just EDGE...
As 8.ta towers are 900MHz, you'll only ever be able to roam on MTN for HSDPA when using 8.ta.

Nope, I have 8ta 3G (65502) on a receiver that only supports 2100MHz UMTS ! This is on a non-roaming 8ta data SIM (2+1).
I am sure that the E220 would work here.

I've used 8.ta on the E220 (mobile partner interface) as well as on the newer E1820.
Both works very well, the E1820 gives a big increase in speed though
