How to enable Voice Calling, USSD (*100#) and Connection History for your 2degrees Mobile Broadband USB Modem (aka Huawei E1552)
My attempts to get video calling failed and MMS is a bit buggy (more on that later) but here are the steps to get the sorely needed USSD and data connection history, and voice calling, only by adding a few lines to some XML files.
Go into \Program Files\2degrees Mobile Broadband\config\ and open up PluginsConfig.xml
Change the following lines:
<!--item name="NetInfoRecordUIPlugin" clsid="27A315A2-D587-498a-9FC5-7CF2738679DF"/-->
<!--item name="USSDUIPlugin" clsid="6ADFE6DA-E212-4087-8466-043AB06DF4EB"/-->
to
<item name="NetInfoRecordUIPlugin" clsid="27A315A2-D587-498a-9FC5-7CF2738679DF"/>
<item name="USSDUIPlugin" clsid="6ADFE6DA-E212-4087-8466-043AB06DF4EB"/>
and immediately after that, insert the following:
<item name="CallPlugin" clsid="8FC7A17B-EA76-4e6e-872D-9AAC222C8B03"/>
<item name="CallUIPlugin" clsid="58A0343A-93DB-4ea2-92B4-C51589629381"/>
<item name="CallLogUIPlugin" clsid="1FCAC0FF-9E87-450f-8258-1155D7696571"/>
This enables Data Connection History, USSD and voice calling respectively.
Then go to \Program Files\2degrees Mobile Broadband\plugins\XFramePlugin\ and open up Config.xml
Change the line:
<!--item type="NORMAL" module="XFramePlugin" icon="ussd" icon2="UssdDisable"id="IDS_USSD_COMMON">43057</item-->
to
<item type="NORMAL" module="XFramePlugin" icon="ussd" icon2="UssdDisable"id="IDS_USSD_COMMON">43057</item>
This just makes the icon for USSD appear in the toolbar.
Enjoy!
Back to video calling and MMS, I had to "hack" some files off another dashboard set up to get it up and running.
I was able to enable the buttons and overall functions for video calling, but it never seemed to be able to go through, and the software would crash or somehow think I'm in a video call when I'm not.
For MMS, I could only use the special unbranded "Mobile Partner" dashboard to get it running. Trying to integrate it with the newer dashboard with the 2degrees Mobile Broadband USB Modem just made the software crash, so I've just left it out. But it does definitely work (with the right software)!

I've been searching everywhere for a fix to mobile partner & MMS & it appears you have one, is there any way you could please send me a zip file complete with the mobile partner version you were able to construct? I have generic mobile partner with USSD currently but I really need to add MMS...my email is [email removed for privacy reasons], if you could please send a response there it would be so appreciated, thank you.
