Do you have a Cell-C SIM card and want to use it with a Vodafone modem, but the dashboard tells you the SIM card is unknown?

Below the Vodafone Mobile Broadband installation directory (normally 'C:\Program Files\Vodafone\Vodafone Mobile Broadband') is a directory named 'Opco' which contains an XML configuration file (Opcos.XML) and a directory for each of the various Vodafone operators by country.

Extract the 'Opco' directory from [-]vmb_cellc.zip[/-] and place it in your Vodafone Mobile Broadband installation directory. This operation will overwrite 'Opco\Opcos.XML' and create a directory named 'Opco\65507 South Africa'. This needs to be done with administrative privileges, so start Explorer as Admin.

Tested with Vodafone Mobile Broadband 10.1.108 on Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7.

Updated for VMB 10.2 here, thanks Tun@!

Vodafone Mobile Broadband 10.1 does work with the K3805-Z. You will need to rename the directory and modify the XML files as appropriate for your operator in Indonesia, see my response here.
 
Tried this and it worked.
But whenI put my Vodacom sim back in, it wouldn't work. I thought this was a kind of "unlock all networks" or "add CellC network" trick.
So I replaced the original Opcos.XML file and deleted the Cell C folder, but still nothing. Had to uninstall and re-install the VMB software

Putting the Vodacom SIM back in works fine for me. This is an "add CellC" network trick.

Did you have to restart or antying first, or just unplug, swap sim and replug?

I'll try tonight and see. I know it gave an error but can't remember what it was.
 
MTN?

Any chance of getting the MTN settings? Im lazy and dont want to ply around. Sorry.

Thx

Hi there, i am using a vodafone HSPA usb stick, K3765, i used the zipped file and overwrote Opco with the xml, i have inserted my cellc sim card in but it still comes up with an error saying Sim not regiestered?

what am i doing wrong?
 
maybe a stupid question but anyway - Do vodacom modems work on 900Mhz? Is it just their network that doesn't?. i have my old vodafone modem (I'm not sure of the model right now) and it would be awesome if I could use it with a cell c data sim. Thanks
