I previously had an E220 from operator A (I'm in Europe, but not in the UK). By installing firmware from the Huawei site, I unlocked the modem, and I was subsequently able to dial in to operator B, using a phone number and generic userid/password found somewhere on the web.
The question is: since I was using a SIM card from operator A, but using operator B's network, where does money/payment come into the picture? If my contract with operator A specifies some usage limitations, who is going to enforce them? And, does all this mean that I can use the modem overseas for free (assuming, of course, that I'd be able to find a phone number and userid/password appropriate for the country I'm in)?
Thanks for any input.
