A question about : Unlock your ZTE 627 Mobile Broadband Dongle (the free one from MicroP) for FREE!

YES, YOU CAN UNLOCK THESE FOR FREE (these are the ones you can get free from https://www.3dongle4free.co.uk/ - just pay Ј4.95) :

Just download the files and follow the instructions. Also works on earlier versions. Please take care when doing this, as it involves flashing the firmware on your device. If you don't follow the instructions correctly, you could end up bricking your dongle. You choose to flash your dongle at your own risk.

• Excellent find! Just to clarify, the ZTE627 is the dongle being sold for Ј5 (https://www.3dongle4free.co.uk/) so for a few quid you can have an unlocked dongle ready to use with any data-enabled SIM card from any network!
  Sadly it's a bit late for me, having already paid Ј13 to DC-unlocker.
• great post! unlocked the 3 dongle in 20 mins. Remember to use Win 2000/XP and not Vista. Also, if using the Connection Manager that comes with the attachment, don't forget to include *99# in the 'dial' box.
• I've unlocked it, got an O2 iphone sim but how do I put credit on it? Put it in a regular mobile?
• Good Tip.
  I bought the Three Dongle for Ј4.95 and then unlocked it with the link on this forum. Then i realised that if you get a pay as you go Three Sim( off ebay 49p or Ј2 Three Shop) and top it up with Ј10 for voice calls which doesn't expire, you can use their Add On package to add Mobile Internet for 50p per day. This saves you having to spend Ј10 and having to use it up before it expires. The SIM that comes with the Dongle won't let you do this however a PAYG Sim does.
• Add On package to add Mobile Internet for 50p per day
  Is that package unlimited bandwidth ? I am looking for the cheapest option to get me surfing ability 8 hours a day (share prices on a laptop at work during the internet crackdown we are having)
• Took 26 mins to reflash the drive on a 4GB 1000mhz RAM / Core2Duo system -so a warning to anyone doing this, let it finish its job and it'll be perfect.
  Have people used the reflashed software or used another?
• Took about 35Mins to unlock mine
• Slightly off topic - but what program do I need to run/open the downloaded file, which has a "*.rar" extension?
• For those looking to unzip (unRAR) those files be very careful where you go looking for programs to do that.
  Use the trial www.softpedia.com/get/Compression-tools/WinRAR.shtml
  Or a completely free and excellent alternative www.izarc.org
• Anyone know if the unlocked dongles will work on a Mac. Is the software with this mod generic or windows only?
  Thanks for pointing it out, looks a very useful thing, I don't like that the Ј10 updates only last a month, I only use this occasionally but having such a short period to use the data is annoying.
