T400 Locked to Vodafone?

Hello

I work for a company that uses Lenovo for all our laptops and we just took delivery of 3 new T400 2765 - 21G Type.

These units have a Vodafone SIM and a trial for 30 days to technology mobile broadband (3G, GPRS) Vodafone.

Our company uses T - Mobile UK for all of the company's phones and USB 3 G dongles.

I replaced the Vodafone SIM card with my T-Mobile SIM card and when I open the Mobile Broadband Connect software I get the message

Your operator is currently not supported. For more information, please contact your carrier.

Is it just a case that I need to get my carrier to activate the service that requires the laptop? Or are the T400 is locked to Vodafone?

I have also contacted our rep at T-Mobile so will post it respond.

grahambird80, welcome to the forum,

they are not locked provider.

The best way to set up a connection is to make a profile in the dial-up connections. Choose WWAN as the connection type, and then set up a user defined connection. Here in Germany, T-Mobile user name is "t-mobile", the PW is the same and the AFN is internet.t - mobile.

You will need to turn first WWAN, (Fn + F5). If you can not turn reinstall the C:\SWTOOLS\DRIVERS\WWANER drivers

Expected if all goes well do the trick.

Edit: misspelling

  • I can well picked up a carrier locked iPhone 5 that has been restored to factory settings?

    Hello

    I hope to trade in my old iPhone 5 (I currently use a 5s) either finance or credit of the store to an iPhone SE.

    However, the situation with my iPhone 5 is complicated.

    • It was bought by my father's business (I used to work there).
    • It is carrier locked to Vodafone (UK network), but I currently reside in Chicago.
    • When I got my 5s I'm from carrier, but kept my old number - so I did not have a Vodafone SIM.
    • My brother used my 5 for awhile. He gave me back restored to factory settings.
    • I can not set up because I do not have a Vodafone SIM.

    In these circumstances, may I take it to an Apple Store to trade it?

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Yes - not sure how much you can get for it

    But if you can prove that you are the legal owner of the phone (as opposed to the Affairs of your dad) so you should be clear

    You also mention that your brother has used - which was on Vodafone

  • Win7 driver Wireless WAN (HSPA) driver for T400s

    Hello

    I'm looking for a driver for this device. On the pages of Lenovo, there is one, but it seems to be designed for Vodafone and AT & T. I use it in Norway and need a driver Generic. Can someone point me in the right direction?

    Thorbjørn salvation,

    don't worry everything what is called the driver, install it to get your card to work. The cards are not locked to Vodafone provider or AT & T. I saw loads of ThinkPads with journaling card in T-Mobile Vodafone, e-Plus...

    the really important bit is;

    "This package provides the Wireless WAN driver to activate the following adapters.

  • New BT sim does not activate in iPhone4s

    I have an iPhone 4S and have been with 3 using their sim 17 months card contract.

    To get the best coverage/signal, I decided to change to BT mobile sim.

    SIM has been ordered and supposed to be activated, but it did not list service.

    Ironically, my husband ordered and activated its BT sim the same day, no problem with his iPhone 5s, too, he had previously been with 3.

    A ringing BT repeatedly and last is that my phone is locked to 3, row 3, and no it's not.

    I didn't know what the phone was originally locked to Vodafone and on a contract, it has been unlocked so that I could use 3.

    BT say it could still be locked as first in an iPhone sim card is locked automatically to this provider. ???

    After saying that he said it could be a defective sim and send a new in the next day or two.

    Im getting tired summer given the apology, but wondered if there is a grain of truth in this or been given bull.

    Some iPhones will be locked to the carrier of the first sim card used with them.  CarPhone Warehouse iPhones are known for this in the United Kingdom.

    However, is it was originally locked to Vodafone and correctly unlocked by them, it should not block again to another carrier.

    Its quite possible the sim card is defective.

    You can test this by inserting the sim card of your husband in your iPhone and see if we're good service.

  • Question of blackBerry Smartphones very clumsy BIS

    Hello. I post here because, in my opinion, is the last thing that I have left to do.

    Not sure if there is no news of this but I'll try to keep it this way.

    Since this afternoon BIS is not register my phone more. It says 'edge' insead 'EDGE '. My BIS data plan has been activated like 2 days ago and it has worked very well so far.

    I called my local operator to support that they sent me the books of service as two times and obviously I did the basics before testing it (take-off at the battery). Nothing happened. Called the 3rd time, they told me that it has nothing to with them more cause it's all they can do.

    The clumsy real thing is that, now that I connect to my personal WIFI bberry email, bbm, whatsapp messenger for yahoo, navigation, absolutely everything, works AS IT SHOULD work on BIS. The second that I disconnect my wifi, there no internet more on it. No more BBM, no more nothing.

    I even tried a wipe. That has not worked either.

    To be honest, it's kind of my last hope before throwing the 10th floor, because it is * bleep * me off.

    THE: After wipe 'the trick' with the connection to my wifi no longer works since all the service books have disappeared. Try saving again does not either, as I said.

    Anyway, I can't spend SIMs because that would mean to pay an another data plan on a different SIM card. Maybe I will if I have no other options left, but for now I don't want to.

    The suggestion is actually replace the SIM... sometimes they spoil. A replacement should not cost anything, I think.

    My camera has been unlocked 2-3 days ago btw, because it was locked on Vodafone Spain, but as I said it worked great.

    Oh... more details are needed. Which carrier your BB was initially assigned? And what carrier are you trying now to operate it on? And what SIM carrier do you use? And which carrier BIS account is active?

    These details could be very important indeed. For example, if your BB from Spain, and now you're trying to use it in Romania, you might have for this short period, received service your account of the Spain BIS, but they finally "caught it" and blocked it (Spain or the Romania could have done). So the exact details of your situation is perhaps well critical... using a BB on a different network can be difficult indeed, and some very specific things need to be done in order to make it work well. For example, if your BIS account remains active in Spain, then the carrier of the Romania will not be able to create a BIS account... single BB PIN can exist anywhere in the world in system BIS only carrier...

    Thank you and let us know!

  • BlackBerry smartphones Please HELP!

    I spent 10 hours on the phone betweenVodaphone and Telstras, trying to get BIS to work!

    I recently changed suppliers and registered with Telstar BIS. Everything works except email. I can't set up my email accounts because he says there is a problem connecting to the server.

    Telstar insist that Vodaphone have not published the phone and Vodafone say they did everything!

    I'm going to spare!

    Hello

    Unfortunately, your only rest resort where you do already. If there is indeed a problem with the output of your Vodafone PIN, then only they can that happen. You could try to organize a conference call between them... sometimes that helps, so that they can compare what each is to see inside their system.

    However, it would be strange indeed for this. In general, if anything be it related BIS worked in the Telstra system, then your PIN is not yet locked in Vodafone BIS system. But, unfortunately, only they have access to these systems in order to verify actually.

    Everyone has the opportunity to climb on BOARD if they need this help.

    Good luck!

  • Re: Portege R500-125 - Vodafone 3 G SIM card - what to do!

    I recently bought a Portege R500 125. It is size excellent performance wise, wise, specs, weight, etc. But the most important feature for me was the 3G feature.

    Opening the box and instructions (guia rapido) there was no mention about the card 3 G slot at all, I got a quick glance around the laptop and could not find shelter. Then, I wondered if I had indeed bought the laptop, looked good the box and he defeinitely said 3G.

    So I came to the forum support and picked up a thread saying that the SIM card slot was behind the battery in the range Portege and Tecra. Hey presto, he was there. I thought, excellent put SIM card in and run the mobliink software. I started the mobilink software and he said Vodafone UK on the interface graph of the application user. Click on connect and it would start saying "connection" and then would just go back to "Ready".

    Next step was to call the Toshiba support, they told me that I had to download the update of the Novatel Wireless of the download site VER 10.9 driver I think. In addition, they said that YOU SHOULD NOT USE THE MOBILINK SOFTWARE TO CONNECT! I was told to use the Vodafone VISTA software to connect. Thus obtained on the Vodafone site and downloaded the 9.3.0 software, also reviewed the read me document (do not usually do this and guess what he mentioned that it supports Novatel V10.9), so I was well on my way, I thought! Not yet!

    Downloaded the Novatel Wireless driver and then install the Vodafone software. Pulled up the Vodafone software and he said "mobile deveice is detected" and that's all. It does not search for networks. So I thought lets try one more thing. I removed the SIM card from the laptop and put the SIM card in the original PC card. Once I put the PC data card in, it installed some drivers and then he said that it has been installed successfully. Then the times of crisis! , launcehed the Vodafone software and hey presto, we have a signal and a connection! SUCCESS.

    Now for the acid test. Put the SIM card in the laptop launched the software, the first message on the screen - 'mobile device detected' then 'search network', then to the last 'Vodafone 3 G', you press the button connect and we had a connection.

    It seemed a long drawn from the process, but arrived in the end. I think using the data card, it installs several structural factors that Vodafone and Portege software must have to operate successfully. I think it would be the same approach for the 3G SIM card Vodafone not only.
    _In summary_

    * Update of Novatel Wireless Drivers (V10.9) Portege downloads
    To install the Vodafone Vodafone (V9.3.0) Vista driver. co.UK
    * Insert data with 3G SIM card (wait drivers are installed and message that says "drivers installed successfully")
    Launch of software Vodafone and connect - wait for a successful connection
    * Remove the SIM and data card
    * Install the SIM card in the Portege (behind the battery, then lock it in position)
    Launch of Vodafone software and connect (DO NOT USE MOBILINK)

    I hope this helps.

    Wow. That s a great statement!

    I bought a Lenovo T400 ThinkPad flea market and am very happy with it. However, it has no manual. I'm running it with Windows 7.

    I wish I could create these little strange characters like quarter, half, trema, cedilla, etc.. I have the row of numbers at the top under the F keys; I also have numbers with certain letters. For example, j and 1; k and 2; m and 0; and so on.

    Press in and hold the Alt key while typing the sequence on the M, J, K, L, U, I, O, 7, 8 & 9 4-digit keys (embedded numeric keypad) for the special symbol, you are looking and and release Alt.

    Does that help?

  • Yoga - Thinkpad receiver of messages shortcut hot keys 30% CPU use and after the screen lock or sleep

    Hello! After returning from standby or locking screen, a process called 'Receiver of Thinkpad messages for shortcut shortcut keys' begins to use about 30% of the CPU. Time to go upo to battery of 60 to 70 degrees is running out very quickly. This process does not stop until I finish using the Task Manager. The end in this way, once it restarts even if I use sleep or lock the screen. Need help with this!

    I do not have this problem as a month ago or not. Has probably seen the day after some updates.

  • Brightness of the display on T400

    I can't do the brightness of the screen works on my new T400 (windows 7 64 bit). When I try to reduce or increase the brightness of the screen does not change its keys Fn + start/end, but brightness indicator appears on the display.

    And also when running on battery, if I set the brightness to a value that the brightness value appears when I connect to the laptop for the load and vice versa.

    Any help is appreciated.

    You must right click on the battery icon in the taskbar and then select a different feeding mode, try it. You can then return to the original palette, and it should continue to work.

    The default battery saver scheme seems to "lock" the setting of the brightness for a reason any. I was worried at first when I arrived my T400 so a few days ago.
