Orange Option Icon 515M

[Khanie]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to unlock a Option Icon 515M that is locked to the Orange network?

[Vincentas]

Could you try to detect this modem with dc-unlocker software?

[Khanie]

Hi,

I'll give it a go.

unlocked-dongle.co.uk & fonefunshop.co.uk can't do it.

[yaylol]

Of cause not, because they use DC-Unlocker technology...

[Khanie]

I ran DC Unlocker... I got the following read out:


DC - Unlocker 2 Client 1.00.0388

Detecting card :

selection :
manufacturer - Option
model - Auto detect

Found modem : GI1515
Model : Unknown
IMEI : 35452303******1
Firmware : 0.63.2

sorry, this card not supported !

Please, check manufacturer's selection !

Where to buy iCON 515m? Any cheap UK sellers?

[Vincentas]

Could you contact us by live chat from our web page? We would need some more information from modem. Thank you in advance.

[Khanie]

You can only get it on contract (with Orange) at the moment.
The cheapest is £49 for the modem and £15 per month (30- day rolling contract). That works out at £64 if you cancel your contract (i.e. you don't renew it).


The Option 515M is probably the best USB modem currently on the market with it's high performance antenna.
I hope DC Unlocker can crack the lock.

No there was a seller on ebay who sold 2 of them for 29,99pounds each. But I missed it...

[Khanie]

29.99... Are you sure? That's well cheap.

Well it is ebay... brand new or 2nd hand?

[yaylol]

Yes. You can find the auction via google.

[Khanie]

The flash of the 515M cannot be read by DC Unlocker. Is this a big problem?

[yaylol]

I dunno, but I don't think so. I think they will send you a beta version of DC-Unlocker or something. Damn I want this modem.

Btw the seller sold new 515m on eBay.

[Khanie]

Don't worry... I'm sure there will be more up for auction on ebay soon.

[yaylol]

I hope so.

Just bought a few iCON 225 and 7.2 for a good price. And MF627 of cause.
