HEY markus,I actually have the same problem. I have a safaricom modem and i need to have it unlocked. Some MTN guy told me that the software costs 2 million shillings that unlocks it so he wanted me to pay 30,000. and as for me i am thinking, 30,000 would take me a few days online. So how do I get the software and get my dongle running?
