Can I use the SPARK B315S-607 modem on another network with that network's SIM card, or is it locked to SPARK?

You can use it with any sim. I've got one currently on Vodafone.

I tried with Netspeed ( Vodafone ) and failed, I had to use a vodafone one we had lying around at work.
I have the unlock instructions but need to find a weird USB cable to do the unlock, I have to find another firmware on there to get access to the 3G network.

I'm looking at Netspeed. SPARK are stopping dial-up which is all I could use on the on a microwave link we have. No broadband cable, no mobile phone service where I live. I have found a weak Vodafone RBI LTE signal eventually using an external aerial. In the meantime SPARK gave me a substantial credit on my phone account which I was hoping to use to buy a SPARK Huawei modem. The Vodafone signal is used by Netpeed, Farmside and Wireless Network (and Vodafone) to provide rural braodbane.
The discussion seems to indicate I may be at risk with a SPARK modem, some are OK and some not. Is there a general consesnus?
Always best to use correct provider supplied router for RBI; but there are ways to configure for alternative routers. Flick me a message if you need more details.
