Hi guys.

I enquired at vodacom regarding the above modem and Cellucity at Canal Walk had it available.

i drove all the way there only to be told it's network locked. I so wanted it but it will be useless as i have a telkom mobile/8ta data contract. Heard somewhere i can flash it?? what does flashing entail and how do i go about flashing the vodafone modem??

thanks.
 
The R201 works with the other ISP's, cannot imagine that the R208 will not.

The dashboard software may not work with other sims, but you don't need to use that.
 
They shouldn't be selling locked gear anymore...

Possibly just a case of the salesman being full of sht. I'd take a prepaid SIM along & try it on the spot.
 
The software they load on these Vodafone products seems to lock it. You would have to flash it to unlock.

That is usually only the dashboard software, and you don't need to use that, unless you want to tether the device to a desktop with a cable.
 
I have the R205 router and it won't pick up any other network.
 
I have a vodafone R205 and currently I am using a cellc sim in there for over a year now.It is illegal to network lock devices in SA.You will need to modify the connection setting in the router
