I thought i might give u guys a small trick

This is how to get unlimited data on ur orange 3g modem - the new one.


First activate the unlimited offer using ur 3g+ modem.once activated
Next remove the sim and put it in the orange 3g modem and connect. Works like a charm.

Make sure you can browse using the new orange 3g modem.

@hunderwear, orange is actually expensive than safaricom UNLESS you buy the 4gb bundles from orange. Also remember that on orange you cannot extend the validity of your data bundle for more that 60days unlike safaricom where you can extend the validity for as long as you wish. You can prove this by dividing the bundle price with the number of mbs you get to know the price per mb for each provides. The data charges for both operators are on the links below.

3G+ =CDMA and uses RUIM cards
3G =GSM and uses SIM cards

So you cant use 3G+ on 3G and vice versa.
