    Exclamation DU Data Card

    Hi folks,

    I just moved houses, and DU is sort of unhelpful with updates on internet connection in my area. So was hoping to get a mobile data card for the time being. Thing is i would be using the data card only for my emails and a bit of browsing. Can the data card be used with my iMac ? I was looking into both, etisalat and Du, but say if i got an etisalat data card, will it work with a du sim ? And most important of all, will the data cards work with a mac ?

    Regards.

    Thanks for the reply. But just as curious as i can get, the hardware would not be able to identify what sim is inserted unless they have a system that someone's tested and not worked. Have you tried using a Du sim with an etisalat data card ?

    I dont want to spend alot on the device as this is a temp solution. I love my iphone, but it can take only so much stress of my internet needs I am getting the device from a friend so if this could work, it would be amazing.

    If you have Huewei USB it should work on the Mac.
    There was a link on the site to the drivers.
    Also, have you considered tethering to your iPhone?
