These devices don't really work that well. The quality of reception is worse than using only a SIM card and occasionally you'll even get a "Invalid SIM" or "No SIM" error. I suspect the reason for this increased resistance: the electronic contact between the SIM and the device is not very good and the device will inadvertently move causing complete contact loss. Software unlock is the best.
