Hi,

The E220 is an old beast now, but still very good. It may be worth
searching for a firmware upgrade for the device. I can't find the
firmware for O2 UK, Ireland has it here ...
http://www.o2online.ie/wps/wcm/connect/O2/Home/Personal/firmware+update.
Make sure that you make note of your configuration (APN, username etc)
or get this from the O2 website before you start.

I downloaded a generic firmware load from the Huawei site (somewhere),
but can't find it now.

Cheers,
Mark
