SIM Unlocking Softbank 007z (ZTE mobile hotspot)

The Softbank 007z, the japan custom model of ZTE MF80, is SIM locked model.  This time, I tried to unlock 007z because I had heard it very easy to unlock 007z using DC-unlocker.


The original 007z with NTT Docomo sim shows "SIM Lock".  Then, I executed DC-unlocker on windowsXP.

===================================================================
For correct ZTE modem detection, please plug modem with invalid operator SIM inserted. Wait till software starts the modem, close ZTE software and then you can detect modem with DC-Unlocker.


DC - Unlocker 2 Client 1.00.0460

Detecting card :

selection :
manufacturer - ZTE datacards
model - Auto detect

Found modem         : MF80
Model               : Unknown ZTE modem
IMEI                : 35*************
Firmware            : BD_MF80V1.0.0B18
SIM Lock status     : Locked (Card Lock)

===================================================================

Unlocking, please wait ...

Card successfully unlocked !

Very easy!!
After configuration APN setting at 192.168.3.1, my unlocked 007z catched NTT Docomo soon.
However, the connection to Docomo seems to be unstable and sometimes interrupted.

    1. You mean Softbank 007z can be used in GSM mode or area ? Oh! my 007z couldn't catch GSM radio when I traveled in USA (GSM is not served in Japan). Thank you !!
