hi, guys

never realised that finding the correct starter pack (with the usb modem) from Congstar would be such a pain. I have visited about 11 or 12 shops from the list (can do it during my lunch time and 1-1.5 hours after work only) and none of them had it in stock. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr .....

Started thinking about alternative solutions. Options I have:
O2 coverage is not perfect, but it's OK in the apartment i rent. By the way i have 1 year old O2 usb modem (boutght in Germany as a starter pack. Used it for 1 month. Subscription expired 5 or 6 months ago.

Can i just buy O2 prepaid mini sim card, register it and use it with the old modem? Simply are o2 usb modems locked to O2 provider or to it's particular O2 sim card (one lad in a shop told me this, could be rubbish, do not know).

Please advise
Thanks
