| 811204 | 2009-09-17 04:08:00 | Hi Are the wireless modems that Telecom/Vodafone or whomever supply 'locked' or restricted in someway so that they can only be used with an accompanying plan from the same provider? Cheers |

| 811205 | 2009-09-17 04:09:00 | Not at all. They work fine with any NZ DSL provider. Just put the different username and password in, Bob's your uncle and Fanny's your aunt. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 811206 | 2009-09-17 04:49:00 | Excellent, thanks Watterus | Oose (14303) | ||
| 811207 | 2009-09-17 04:51:00 | No worries. Knowing Telecom they will probably find some way of locking them down with 3rd party firmware or some such thing one day, even then a firmware update would sort it out. Still, we need not worry about such things yet. :p | wratterus (105) | ||
| 811208 | 2009-09-17 05:31:00 | A while ago I was trying to set up a modem provided by Xtra and could not get into it to change the settings. It was some weeks or months later that I read on here the trick on how to get in as there was nothing on Xtra's website. It appeared that Xtra had somehow locked it up to prevent changes and/or the modem being used with other ISPs. | FoxyMX (5) | ||
