How to Unlock Mobile Broadband Speed
Mobile broadband devices come in the form of a smartphone or a USB connector. Mobile broadband allows you to use your cell phone service to connect to and access the Internet. This is convenient for people who are not near a Wi-Fi or Internet hotspot but still need to access the Internet.
- Determine who your mobile broadband provider is. This is likely the same provider as your cell phone service provider. If you are not sure, check the "Settings" menu on your phone to see the provider name. It may also be displayed when you turn your phone or mobile device off or on.
- Contact the mobile broadband provider and confirm that you do have mobile broadband service included in you cell phone plan. If you do, ask for it to be activated. If not, ask to add it to your plan. You may be required to pay extra for these services.
Ask the operator for your personal unlocking key code. This may also be called the pass code or password. Write it down for future reference. - Plug the mobile broadband device into your computer using a USB cord. Your computer will ask you whether you want to run the program. Click on the "Yes" or the "OK" button.
- Navigate through the on-screen prompts to run the broadband on your computer.
Enter your personal unlocking key code into the box when prompted, and click the "Unlock" or "OK" button to unlock it. You can now use the mobile broadband just like regular broadband services.
