[Freeswitch-users] Huawei E169 Group Buy

[Steve Underwood]

Hi,

When looking at models of 3G dongles look carefully at whether they 
support the features you need. This basically comes down to supporting 
the voice features, and supporting the bands you need in your area.

Most recent dongles with a Qualcomm chip set (which is most of them) 
support the voice features needed to work with FS. However, many SIM 
locked ones have the feature blocked. Unlocked ones should be OK.

Most dongles now support quad band 2G operation, which covers most of 
the frequencies ever used for 2G GSM. However, most dongles only support 
one 3G band. Some support 2 bands. There are, however, several bands 
used for 3G around the planet. If the dongle you choose doesn't support 
your local 3G bands, you will only be able to use it for 2G 
communication. That might be OK. It might not. It depends on your local 
service offerings. Just beware.
