am I a reliable seller?
check my eBay profile below
you do not need to have any IT knowledge or install any additional software,
all you need is a simcard from other network then vodafone and laptop / tablet or Ipad
- firstly insert not accepted simcard and turn ON your modem
- now on your laptop tablet or Ipad search for WiFi networks and connect to your Vodafone modem / router
- once WiFi connection is established open web browser and in address bar type 192.168.0.1
- modem web management page should load and it should ask for unlock code (see picture below)
- enter the unlock code and click unlock
- Jo done! Your modem is unlocked, now you will need to configure apn settings for new network to connect to internet
