Activating Voice Calling on Huawei HSPA modems

by Ruchira on February 26, 2010

On my previous post I wrote about how to unlock huawei modem models. So there is another great option in most of Huawei new HSDPA modems (In cheaper models too) . Today I will show you how to actviate voice calling feature hidden on your huawei medem. I have used E156G and it works on this models too. Huawei E156 / E156B / E156C / E156G

First of all you need to download this piece of small software to check if your modem suports voice calls ( No matter if the feature disabled in factory settings we are going to activate it. So its worth to check)

 

Download it here- http://www.dc-unlocker.com/downloads/get/03FpJrhM

And run it after installing.Make sure to exit Mobile partner otherwise the software wont detect the HSPA modem. And after opening it click scan. it will then display the details of the plugged huawei modem like this-

voiceqf Activating Voice Calling on Huawei HSPA modems

Look there is a option called Voice Feature. In this screen shot it shows enabled because I already enabled it. In your computer it will show Disabled if your have voice calling option if not it will show Not supported.

So if your software shows Voice Feature – Disabled then its the time to enable it. Click the option called Server in the DC-Unlocker software. It can unlock your locked modem too but it require 20 euros. But it doesnt require money to enable voice feature.

In the user name and password field enter these-

Username- Free

Password- Voice

Then click “check login”. SO DC-Unlocker will login free to unlock voice feature. Like this-

Then browse to “Unlocking” section of DC-Unlocker client and click “Activate Voice”. then it will unlock your voice calling feature! icon biggrin Activating Voice Calling on Huawei HSPA modems

Wait there some other things to done in software section too. You need to update to Voice calling version of mobile partner software because 95% of modems come without voice calling Mobile partner version. Download the voice calling version here- http://www.dc-unlocker.com/downloads/get/LihV26NW

Warning you are going to flash your Huawei modem with this new version. your current connection profile settings will be lost because of new update. And always remember to update the firmware in a steady power sourced computer. Because if your computer gets stuck or powerloss when updating firmware ( which will take 5~15mins) your modems firmware will be corrupted. So be sure you have steady power source to use with your computer when flashing.

After downloading the New Mobile Partner firmware run it and it will update your current firmware. Voila you have new Mobile parnter with voice calling feature like this!

Thanks for your comprehensive guide!

Unfortunately, it does not work any more. The DC unlocker says “Insufficient credits !”

Wonder if there are any other means of unlocking voice calling.

Thanks again.

Dear,
It worked wonderfully,
but when i insert the modem into my PC, (3 UK modem), i do still get the 3 Software of that company running!
I close it and then i go to my desktop and click on Mobile Partner and then the beautiful blue screen comes up.
Is there anyway i can permenently remove the 3 software from this modem completely and just have that mobile partner runs as a default?!

Sorry gaksan,
Its no longer free! Now you have to pay for the software! :(

This is not Mobile Partner firmware that you can flash. It’s only connection manager that you can install on your computer, but not flash your modem.

i followed the procedure to enable voice calls on E1552 and updated to given mobile partner, tested once and it worked then when i redailed, it couldn’t respond. To test again with dc unlocker Voice was disabled again. Now problem access denied. Is there any other way to enable voice calls.

Yes you cant hear the sound means that modem is locked on voice part. This guide to unlock it is not working now because now its paid software.

Is there any way to activate the voice call for free and WITHOUT DCUnlocker. Does anybody know the corresponding AT command?

Reply

Ruchira December 24, 2010 at 10:49 AM

Well Im sure there is a method using AT commands why not right? :) Ill definitely test new things if I got a HSPA modem now. but unfortunately I dont have a modem to test things out so I dont like to post with confidence without doing it myself! :)

thanks
waiting your answer to me soon.

Ruchira December 30, 2010 at 6:33 AM

actually even without unlocking voice you should be able to make calls but you cant hear or tell something to other side. Looks like your sim calling function disabled!

Reply

ceyan lara January 3, 2011 at 5:07 AM

now it’s ok now i can recharge my account……….
this is the link u can download the mobile partner
that u can enable every features like wlan,adsl,vedio call,mms ,call log

***********Link removed******************
I dont recommend using third party modified software versions because it can contain virus!

also if u want to active video call do this
go to mobilepartner’s installation folder find out the file SysSetting.xml and do this modification open it in notepad and find the phrace call and change 0 to 1 now u can get a video call from u’r pc

But I have downloaded the program “DCUnlocker”, I had installed it too. But it didn’t detects my modem. to show the features.

Ruchira January 29, 2011 at 7:31 AM

Hello Niroshan,
You need to dial the numbers in USSD prompt. There is option called USSD in huawei mobile partner. It will display the credits and other such thing like on phone! If you dont have USSD option upgrade your mobile partner.

Roland February 1, 2011 at 1:42 AM

Hello,

I’ve activated the voice functionality and can make a call with Mobile Partner. My question is, if I can use the modem for voice calling from a third party software. For example I develop an application, and from this application the user can make a call. Do you know any driver or solution to do so?

Thank you,
Roland

Reply

Ruchira February 1, 2011 at 6:03 AM

that depends on how are you willing to get the call!

Reply

Roland February 1, 2011 at 11:41 AM

Dear Ruchira,

Thank you for the quick response! So I would like to use the USB modem as a phone for voice calls, from a software. So when I click on a button in my application, it dials the number, and using the computer mic and speaker, the user can talk with the other party. Basically the same functionality as the Voice modem some years ago.

Bests,
Roland

Reply

Ruchira February 1, 2011 at 7:19 PM

Hello,
This functionality is already in the mobile partner software! You can dial the number and get calls using your PC mic and speakers. Also you can receive calls and you can assign ring tones too!

Reply

Roland February 2, 2011 at 12:37 AM

Dear Ruchira,

Yes, you’re absolutely right. But I want the same functionality in my own application, which can do more then just a dialer. So I wonder if there’s any API or SDK for these USB GSM modems.

Thank you,
Roland

Reply

Ruchira February 2, 2011 at 5:46 AM

well for now there is no API for mobile partner or huawei modems. You will need to reverse engineer mobile partner or request codes from huawei! They might help you! :)

Roland February 2, 2011 at 11:19 AM

maybe you dont getting 3g signal! Check with mobile phone to verify you getting 3g signal or not! Still India got very poor 3g coverage so I guess thats the problem!
