I've never thought about buying one of these, but, is it possible to get a 
demo in a shop? When I moved to Virgin Mobile, the assistant was happy to let 
me try one of the shop's SIM cards in my phone to make sure it wasn't locked. 
This should be available for special devices like mobile network modems, as 
part of the customer service, I would have thought.
