Hi,

I just bought an HUAWEI E5776 from amazon and really like—I travel alot with my girlfriend—the ability to switch to different prepaid data plans and use my two iPhone. But what's currently puzzling me is how to use the codes from top-up cards, if the MiFi doesn't have a numeric key pad to make calls from? The router menu does have an SMS Dialog but this doesn't seem to work with operator codes like for example *223*1234567890#.

The only scenario is I've to carry an additional phone with me to make the top-up from... since out iPhones do have carrier net-locks.

Or am I missing something here... is it possible to transmit operator code via the router menu somehow? I shortly had a different product similar like the E5776 but returned cause of the same reason. Any ideas... part from that the Huawei is great!

Thank you!
