If they have configured it themselves they could have easily changed the password and probably locked it to the DST network. b-mobile locks their 3G modems to the b-mobile as well.

It is not the default ones such as {blank}, root, admin, etc.

The fucntions one the user:user menu are so limited. This is why I need to admin or root password.

Unlimited package includes free Voice minutes & SMS and it’s quite clearly stated that these free minutes and sms are only for bmobile to bmobile/telbru. It does not mention anything about calling/sms DST phones. Anyone know whether this is even possible and if so what are the rates?

I was thinking that if this is possible then why go for the bmobile postpaid Smart plan ($65) if you could just get the Zoom! unlimited? What additional services does the Smart plan have over the Zoom Unlimited plan?

They will require an unlocking process. I’ve asked bmobile and they are unable to unlock their modems and asked me to contact the manufacturer of the device. However I didn’t get any reply after emailing them. I do not have a DST modem so perhaps best bet is you ask DST if they can unlock it for you, or if there is a price for unlocking. Or you could borrow a bmobile SIM from a friend and see if it works.

I’m having doubts on few matters about choosing between Zoom! and Go! broadband services. Currently I’m using DST Go broadband postpaid plan but I’m also planning to get the B-mobile Zoom broadband plan but without purchasing the modem since I have already got one modem from the Go! broadband.

I wonder if the dst go broadband modem will support open-sim card such as using B-mobile zoom’s simcard for internet usage.

Thanks.

i live ard the batu satu area(next to utama bowling). I have been using my B-mobile Zoom with not much problems but finally bought a prolink USB router in order to share the internet around(the prolink modem is $60 in singapore btw)

set up the prolink installation, plugged in the zoom modem and shared the connection…with horrible results..web pages took ages to load,youtube videos failed to load at all and i dont even want to go into the ps3 experience..

So my question is: Is this a common problem? Didnt have any problems when i was just usin the usb modem on one computer..tried moving the modem around and for a few minutes it was actually fast,then slowed down again…is it just that B-mobile is ‘upgrading’ again? My friend a couple of floor downstairs uses GO broadband and shares it wireless with no apparent problems..

Any help will be most appreciated

Thanks

Customer service is generally bad and typically counter staff will not know the technical details (not just Brunei). It’s a sad truth that most of the times the customer has to do all the research him/herself so that they don’t get scammed or get into something that they will regret.

Is your Pocketmodem connection issue done at home where there is a “dead spot” or in general? I have the same modem and haven’t had any issues with mine on OS X, Windows 7 and Ubuntu. Perhaps it’s just faulty hardware, but if you’re trying to connect in a dead zone or a place that has very weak signal it could just be that the modem can’t find the signal because it’s just too weak.

Hope you can get something out of it, otherwise if you’re on contract you can ‘sell’ the subscription to a friend or somebody so you don’t feel it is a total loss
