Yeah the router and even USB modems are locked (both DST and bmobile). Which is why it is good to get a 3rd party 3G router. Perhaps some Googling online needs to be done to find the unlock codes or we need somebody with the technical know how and time to figure out how to unlock it. Or just somebody who works at bmobile or DST to find out for us too ;-)

i think you need to configure the apn…just insert bmobile sim card and use bmobile accesspoint..

oh that user name and password i know. I am talking about the sim lock. i bought a dst go with the router but unfortunately it didnt work in my area so i bought the b moile zoom. Fortunately for me it worked in my area so i was thinking of using the w25 rounter with the b mobile sim card but it seem that the router is sim locked to only accept dst sim card.

Hi Wheat, love all the information you have posted and the reponses. I have Go Broadband and it’s excellent, but unfortunately it doesn’t always hold it’s signal – it connects at 7.2 and all is good, then a short time later it goes to 238kp or disconnects. I unplug and move around but think from reading different websites it’s a combination of black spot and modem power. I am goint to try the alfoil trick and see how it goes – thanks for the idea! I was looking at getting a clip on from UK but the cost is around $70!
By the way after searching for USB modems in Brunei I found that DST in Gadong were fantastic and sorted me out straight away with a modem, whereas B-Mobile have been out of stock since September and didn’t look like they were getting any in for a while which is unfortunate. Also B-Mobile seem to have better reception in Rimba where I live because I borrowed one from a friend when I first arrived in Brunei, but the student deal offered by DST is outstanding at $58 a month and you get a modem for $150 (plus you don’t have to pay the contract up front as with B-Mobile).

@Mr Kujack I’ve tried DST SIM card on the b-mobile modem and a b-bmobile SIM card on a DST modem. Unfortunately neither work. Seems like the modem’s are locked to the ISP. I suggest that you ask them if they allow unlocking of the modem, it’s always worth a shot
