@jaggernaut
I have not purchased the orange unlimited internet yet,saf has me trapped for at least another 3 days ...am an economist lol but the moment this week's bundle ishas am moving for good.The modem interface has an option for a weekly and monthly bundle and as far as I know from past experience with their CDMA modems,orange doesn't cap.

The answer is simply no,CDMA and GSM are two very different technologies.

@QW, how do you make a gsm simcard register to netwORK inside a 3G+ cdma modem?


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

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

Yaani @QW is even on this forum blowing bubbles & crapping turds?

3G+ = CDMA so the RUIM card will not work in a 3G modem = GSM & uses a SIM card...

I think @QW had two 3G modems and thought one was 3G+, or vice versa.

In what it calls a "special launch offer", Orange now drops the price of a high-speed modem (alleged to be 21Mpbs) to Kshs 2990/= down from Kshs 6990/=. Page 7 Nation.

Has anyone used this new modem?

Aaah for the heck of it! Just decided to do another test Orange vs Safaricom. Same location in Westlands and this time flying to Pala Alto, California.

Full network bars for both, I noticed improvement in Safaricom connection, but the King of Data remains Orange. Tested each 3 times, took the highest for both.

SAFARICOM, Grade C+


ORANGE, Grade B


NOTE:
* I do not work for either, and I'm actually closer in degrees of separation to Safaricom.
* 21mbps remains a myth in both cases.
