Im having 3 modems with me but not able to use:

- Huawei UMG1831

- Tata Indicom USB modem

- Reliance Netconnect CDMA 1X

Please guide me how to use these...
 
What exactly is the problem that you are facing? Are these devices not being identified? Or is it something else..? Unless you give us more info, none of us will be able to help you.
 
both are cdma 1x modems. if reliance is mg880, not mg880+, you can unlock it.. same for tata sungil scx 1080. but 1x speed is pathetic. (156.6 kbps max).

How to connect with UMG 1831 ?
Click to expand...
For connecting using UMG 1831, you need to have a GSM SIM from any provider (Airtel/Vodafone/BSNL etc..) . UMG 1831, will have its own T-Mobile software using which you need to set the profile (APN detail etc..) depending on the service provider. If you don't like the inbuilt T-Mobiles software you can also use Mobile Partner software (search internet).

Are you seeing the green/blue light blinking on your modem (green -2G/ blue -3g)?
And have you installed the drivers for umg 1831 ?

Green light is glowing(coming-going).

I had drivers on my old lappy, formatted it.

Now what to do ?

Since the light is glowing looks like the modem is in working condition. When you attach UMG 1831 to you laptop it should mount an readonly USB drive which will have the drivers, did you check if any USB/CD drive is shown once the modem is connected?

Alternatively search/download "Mobile Partner -Huawei" from internet (that will have the necessary drivers) and has a better interface then the T-mobile software which used to be bundled with umg1831

On mounting to Lappy only light comes on the modem, nothing on the Lappy, not even in the Computer page. Nothing, Nada!

I thing I accidently deleted all the content some time back.

Since net down due to Cables damage in sea, will search Mobile-Partner & download. Will this solve the issue ?

I remember having this software in my old lappy but did not work seamlessly.

What's the best option ?
 
Yes mobile partner will work fine. I used it with my umg 1831.
I might also have the original t-mobile sfw somewhere, if mobile partner doesn't work I can search for it.

Thanks. What I intend to do is get a 3G sim, insert in UMG1831, mount on to Lappy, Create a hotspot on Lappy & share Wifi connection with 2-3 other devices.

Will this work for such a setup ? Or will I have to get a Wifi modem with USB attachment feature ?

Also will UMG be plug & play or one has to dial each & every time ?

UMG 1831 won't be creating a hotspot, for that you have to try software like connectify, which creates hotspot using your laptop wifi and then share your modem network with it, otherwise you have to get those mode routers/ or pocket wireless router.

There will be a feature in the Mobile Partner software to connect automatically, if you are using win8 (and probably win 7) the OS has an inbuilt dialer which allows you to dial automatically when connected.

Ok, I will try connectify but getting a new modem shall be the last resort, I would like to save some bucks because already have a wifi modem(USB doesn't connect).

On one lappy there's Vista, on other Win8.

Could you give me a link to latest Mobile Partner for UMG1831 ?
 
The link shows 3 softwares, what all do I have to install?

Is there a need to need to unlock also ?

Firmwares ?

Thanks but the problem Im facing is:

When I connect the modem to USB port of laptop, light glows on the modem but there's nothing on the laptop. Even in my computer, there's no modem showing.

Installed Mobile Partner but no modem there too.

Was trying to install firmware update but it could not find the modem!
