Unlocked Broadband Modems
Are you looking for a broadband modem that will allow you to access Internet on the go? There are two types of broadband modems – Locked and unlocked. Locked data cards are those that will permit you to access only one Internet service provider (ISP). For instance, if you’re currently using MTNL SIM, you can use only the services of MTNL. On the other hand, unlocked USB broadband modem is available to all service providers. If you have an unlocked data card, you can switch to any network. For using any network or SIM card, you have to enter the unlock code ‘NCK’ once. The NCK code is suitable only with Vodafone, ZTE and Huawei products. An unlocked data card will also permit you to use 3G modems globally.

Some advantages of unlocked broadband modems are:

1. Unlocked USB modem will allow you to switch to any network provider. Such as, if you’re using Reliance data card, you can not access any CDMA network, but by unlocked CDMA data card you can access any CDMA network.

2. You can use 3G modems around the world. Because if you enter in a non 3G area then your data card will get active with 2G signals.

It brings lots of advantages for its hi-end customers. But the cost of this device may be higher as compared to locked broadband modem.
