Vodafone mobile software

[Shintorojin]

Hi all,
Has anyone here got an old hauwei Vodafone branded wifi router such as the r206 working with the new "Vodafone mobile broadband" software?

I have an r206 and an r216z.
The r206 comes with "Vodafone mobile wifi" and r216z with "Vodafone mobile broadband" software.

However I cannot use both devices with either software.
Further if I install both softwares only the device for the most recent installed software works.

TIA

The R206 is manufactured by Huawei, the R216Z is manufactured by ZTE.

Try finding someone who is willing to swap another Huawei device for the R216Z.

Frikking Vodacom. How do you mean swop?

I'm thinking I'll just Debrand the r206 then. I don't see Vodafone ever releasing software that will run both.
Anyone managed this^^ successfuly?
This should work since the one won't use Vodafone software anymore right?

I mean find a friend or someone with a Huawei device, and ask them if they would exchange their device for your R216Z.

Use the built in dialup in windows to setup your connections. You don't really have to use their software unless you need to check on the signal strength or sun some ussd's /check balance

Ah yeah will try that thanks.

As for using windows dun. I can't as long as the Vodafone software prevents the modem from installing...
