Step 1: Upgrade the firmware of your modem to fix some bugs and enable your modem to have call feature.  you can  go to your service provider website for the specific upgrade files.

Step 2: Insert any SIM that is not supported by your modem. If you are a Vodafone Subscriber (default subscriber) insert non Vodafone SIM. It will give a prompt "Action not Allowed", press Ok and the dashboard closes automatically.

Step3: Identify your IMEI and port connection. It can be found printed on the back portion of your modem or on your dashboard menu, Click - Tools >Diagnostics and Device
