Use Vodacom sim in MTN E220

[hannulombard]

About 2 months ago I got a e220 fastlink MTN modem, and would like to use my mobile phone sim (Vodacom) also with this modem. As I still have some bolt on data on this (vodacom) sim each month. Got this modem working on vista with help from this forum _ thx.
Is there a way to use both Vodacom and MTN on the e220 mtn fastlink huawei?. 2 Months in use. Currently after registering authentication cannot be done.
Sorry if this tpic has been delt with , redirect please.

I don't think MTN have been locking their cards. Is your Vodacom SIM provisioned for data? Make sure your APN is 'internet', then you can use it on MTN and Vodacom without changing it.
