How to Unlock Smartbro (huawei)

NOTE: If you are in Cebu, as of March 18, 2010 Smartbro e1552 White models can be purchased at MSI / Accent Micro North Wing SM City Cebu.

If you happen to own a laptop and need internet access on the fly, I suggest you buy Smartbro E1552 model.  Its the only smartbro that can easily be unlocked/open lined.

Once open lined you can use any SIM card to access the net (Globe/Sun/Red).

google for "symbianize version of Huawei unlocker", download the software,

Enter the IMEI number for your 3G Dongle.  Write down the NCK code (8digits).

Remove the usb modem, and the Smartbro Sim; install any sim other than Smart (i.e. Globe / Sun).  Run the smartbro software and it will now ask for the unlock code.  Type the NCK code and press OK.  Go to settings and make a new profile with the following settings
Network Settings under the Smart Connection Manager

Go to TOOLS, Options, Profile Management, New
