+1 voteTheir pretty easy to unlock, I used a website to unlock my Huawei E160e for free and worked like a charm :) All you'll need is the IMEI code.
Try at your own risk though
Anyways this is quite a good deal for the data alone… I swear with these deals you can get the modem + data cheaper than buying the data standalone…

You get a USB stick modem, most likely this one is the E160E, you cant put this modem on the Android tablet, you can use the SIM if its a 3G tablet, or may share the data from a PC, or a WiFi modem using the Virgin SIM

The reason is due to the SIM and the government being able to track you in the event of it being used for criminal or fraud purposes. There have been several discussions on OzB.
