aarn Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Hello all, I have a 'RICH' usb dongle/modem, worked fine with an AIS (aircard???) SIM in Thailand. Am in Penang for a month, have a Celcom SIM which will work (very slowwwwww) with an ancient ZTE mobile 'phone with inbuilt modem. Need some tips - win7 will recognise the modem, install drivers, but cannot activate the SIM. No idea how to do this in linux, but previously in linux was able to use 'phone after installing 'wine' interface. Thx in advance, AA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiu-Jitsu Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 What the ^&%$ is a 'RICH' USB modem? Unless you come up with a proper description, this thread will go nowhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarn Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 'RICH' is the brand? - at least, there is a sticker with 'RICH' on the casing. Win recognises it as 'EDGE MODEM', sorry about that... AA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryw52 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 You need to find name and model number most likely inside where sim card goes.Then you might be able to find unlock instructions on the internet for this Air card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AA If it is an EDGE modem, it will still be slow. Perhaps time to move to 3 or 4G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts exactly. I think he answered his own question there.. its Edge and its slow.. Edited October 4, 2012 by Sayonarax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiu-Jitsu Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Either way, I can't imagine that the modem is locked, so it should just be a matter of entering the relevant APN, username and password and dial number for Celcom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
