Don't know whether "cracking" is the correct term at all! Frankly, I don't know at which stage the SIM identification occurs. Could be in any one of these (or other) places..1. Within the datacard hardware itself2. Your desktop installed BSNL software3. Within the network, just before registering. If it is not in stage 1 then it is clear that BSNL hasn't locked your hardware anyway, and so couldn't care less where you used the card.. if it is either in stages 2 or 3, then I believe, you may have to use proprietary software provided by your new Mobile service provider after migration, even if you retain the datacard. If the cards generally follow some standards, they could be compatible with your new software. I agree all this a lot of conjecture, but this was the general line of argument hinted by my engineers when I bought the card. I remember they told me that the card is not sim-locked.BTW,Has 3G from other providers become operational in your area?

Well u can see the locked status of other Operators... when u choose to "Manual mode " for Network.. there
One cellone status is Registered.. one is available......... Aircel and vodafone are available...
but AIRTEL Ind Tata and others are having status as "FORBIDDEN"
I noticed that .. BSNL and Aircel Sim has similar design circuit in their sim....and Airtel and rest others hav different but similar to each other...
so I think the data card is programmed to read only one type of Design..
And btw.....I wasnt talkin about other 3G sim operators but GSM operators..

dear i've same modem and facing same prob. plz tell me if getting any solution for unlocking lw272 (teracom). i've another modem also which is vodafone k2540 plz help me unlocking that also
Instead of unloking u can use a trick to use other sim's on the teracom modem lw272.
This example is for GPRS enabled Airtel sim.
1. launch bsnl 3g modem software using bsnl sim.
2. Goto connection tab and create new connection by clicking the tab "add".
3. Type the required name in profile filed; *99# in number filed; and airtelgprs.com in APN filed and click apply,
the settings will be saved.
4. Now click on the new connection you just created and click the tab "set default".
5. Now go to network tab and set network selection to manual and click on apply tab.
software will start searching for available network n after some time the available network will be listed.
6. click on the airtel network in the list and now remove the modem without closing the software and replace the sim with Airtel and put back the modem into usb slot.
wait for "network" and "connection" tab to get highlighted, u will get error message saying that, "invalid simcard, bsnl 3g modem will close". Donot click on ok and leave the error as it is.
7. At this stage modem should be glowing with green led, if it is glowing green go to "start" menu, "connect to" and right click on "3gmodem", and properties. (If it is not glowing close the 3g software and reopen it.)
8. In 3gmodem properties click on general tab and type *99# in phone number filed and click ok.
9. Now go to "start" menu, "connect to" and click on 3gmodem now press on dial, if connection is sucessful window will show "registering your computer on the network" and then "authenticated".
10. Now open your browser and try opening any website.
