Mobile broadband on K5005/e398

Hi,

I have acquired an old Vodafone k5005/Huawei e398, apparently unlocked and need to use it with a Vodafone SIM (as a backup internet connection directly plugged into a router).

On trying to test it appears to point to the wrong APN.

Ideally i would have access to VMB V10.3.400 (can't find it) and a Vodafone uk specific firmware (I have downloaded K5005_Upgrade_Firmware_11.335.21.20.11 but not installed) for the device.

As the router on site only supports a small list of 4G dongles I would prefer to try and get this working and any help would be gratefully received.

 

Thanks!

Hi @polandro

 

If you are intending on using the dongle as PAYG, the correct APN settings will depend on the data pack you are purchasing.  Please see the link below.
