Question of the Day: Have you ever been scammed?
Huawei K3715 not finding any network?

Why?
Yes i read about Morkhans' Vodacare dilemma. But that was Vodacare Canal Walk... Just because 1 Vodacare made a mistake, doesn't mean the rest are the same?
The optimist in me would go with that. Besides, once I worked my way up the food chain I got action. So while I was inconvenienced I did eventually receive the service I was entitled to.
I still think it's better to avoid sending the device to Vodacare unnecessarily.
I wonder if the device has been put into manual operator selection mode and it is always trying to connect to MTN. I don't know if the Vodafone dashboard allows one to configure roaming / operator selection, try installing the Huawei Mobile Partner dashboard.
You should be able to use the dashboard for the E160G available here.

It will be the quickest solution to the problem. He's been struggling for almost 2 weeks now. It would've taken him MAX 2 to 3 working days to get the faulty modem swapped out.
AFAIK, VMC does the network selection Automatically. I looked around the Dashboard now and i dont see any option that lets you do this manually.
@ginggs : I installed Mobile Partner software which allows you to select the network that you want to connect to, but with the Vodacom sim it just does not want to register on the Vodacom network
@Iam3G : Taking the card to a Vodacare center in the next 20min.

That was my concern, if one has set it in another dashboard, VMC might not allow you to set it back.
Did you set network selection to automatic?
MDMA 1.0.0.30 now has the ability to set operator selecting to automatic.
What happened at Vodacare?@Iam3G : Taking the card to a Vodacare center in the next 20min.
I'm having a similar experience with a weird modem someone gave me to play with; on the outside it's a E160, but the firmware reports it's a E156B. The modem works fine with an MTN SIM, but will not register on Vodacom, and I tried two different Vodacom SIMs (which work in other modems).
It turned out the modem had been blacklisted by Vodacom.... hence the reason I could log in via MTN.
You should've listen to me. Would've saved you a lot of time
Possibly Blacklisted too? Have Vodacare Validate the IMEI's.

You can PM me the 15 digit IMEI number and I can check if it is blacklisted.

So MTN and Vodacom do not share their blacklists between each other?
What on earth is the point of a blacklist then?You have PM.
I also thought once a modem is Blacklisted, its Blacklisted for all Networks.
That would be the most logical thought.
