Nope, this isn’t the MiFi that you guys are familiar with in the States; everyone else — mainly 3 / Hutchison customers — are given this cute-looking Huawei E5830 HSPA modem instead. If you want to join this exotic MiFi party but would rather boogie with a different carrier, then fear not, as ex-iPhone hacker Zibri’s just released a free unlock tool. It’s pretty easy — just plug in your MiFi (with its preloaded SIM card inside) into a Windows machine, launch the program, type in “Success!
” to unveil the unlock button, and you know the rest. Of course, as with all unofficial hacks there’s always a risk somewhere, so proceed with caution.
