Connecting to Vodafone 3G without using Vodafone Mobile Connect

by David 16. February 2010 08:29

The software that comes with your Vodafone 3G Modem (Vodafone Mobile Connect) is slow, buggy crapware and actually not required to connect to the 3G network.

To avoid using it just create a dial-up connection in Windows with the following details:

Connecting Using: Modem – ZTE Proprietary USB Modem
Number: *99***1#
Username: web
Password: web

That’s it.  Simple.  Thanks to Wil over at SuperUser for the initial pointer.
