The latest HSDPA 3G modem from Smart Bro and Globe Visibility were manufactured by ZTE in China. Both are practically plug-and-play devices. The problem is running both softwares (3G dialers) on the same PC.
Since the device are practically similar, the system sees the two as a single device thus overwriting each others system settings. The Smart Bro model is MF622 and the Globe Visibility is MF626, making the latter the much newer model.
Incidentally, the newer device drivers from ZTE would not work with the older model used by Smart Bro. In fact, Globe Visibility takes over the Smart Bro installation folder in the Program Files.
In order for the Smart Bro HSDPA modem to work, one has to un-install the Globe Visibility software/drivers first. So, if you are using both, it’s a headache to switch from one service to another.
Was wondering if anyone out there has encountered this and was able to isolate the cause of the problem.

Maybe you’re the only one experiencing it because you’re the only one who can afford to have both.
@abe,
I think its not possible to run both device at the same time or you cant switch to any of both because of the conflict.. it would be advisable to uninstall or just rename the Program file folder of the device you intended not to use…
anyway can you have a review of both device? which is better? smart bro plugit or Globe Visibility?
thanks!
Which one do you think is faster between the two modems, is it smart plugit or Globe Visibility?
Hey yuga, im planning to buy one of them, but i want to know which is better. I know that they’re your ads, but could you make some review about this

SmartBro on USB1 and Globe Visibility on USB2!
NOTE: you can’t use both providers in one but you can switch it. however, don’t put globe visibility on USB1 if smartbro is installed on USB1. They should be installed on different ports.
That’s the question! Which one is better, I keep on getting accounts of personal experience from readers on my blog.
So far, Globe Visibility has been getting good feedback.
I only had the chance to try Smart Bro plugit last July at DLSUD campus. It wasn’t a very good experience at all because the device couldn’t get a hold of a 3G/HSDPA signal and so the connection via GPRS was next to useless.
So for now, I’d say it’s location, location, location!
One solution is have one of the USB modems unlocked. Then just swap the SIM cards
@jepoy - that is a good idea, just like what you do with cellphones which are not openlines, the problem is where we could get a software to unlock/hack the modem…:-)
How about installing the drivers in two separate folders? If Smart & Globe will send me the modem units, I can test it myself
DO YOU THINK IT WILL NOT OVER RIDE THE SMART PLUGIT INSTALLATION IF YOU’LL HAVE TO USE OTHER PORT?
Actually Smart Bro used a black ZTE MF 626 for its “Dark Knight Special Edition” Smart Bro Plug-It some time back.
You can use a USB SPLITTER. Done it and it’s working just fine ^_^V
the globe modem is not networked lock all you have to do is copy the settings of your smart bro add it to the dialer of the globe and to switch between the 2 all you have to do is swap the sim.
Hindi lahat ng lugar may 3G Signal ang Globe, Smart o Sun. Kaya’t gamit ko itong tatlo.
Currently, I use a mobile phone to connect to these 3. Just recently, I purchased Globe’s MF626 Modem and it wont allow Smart or Sun simcards.
If bart’s claim is true, does anyone have the “settings” for smart or sun to share? Bart, are referring to “db.dat” file?
Thanks!
Hello everyone. Does anyone here have the SMARTBRO softwares / drivers and also its configuration on connection settings (e.g. DIAL NUMBER, USERNAME(if supported), PASSWORD(if supported), APN) or if you could do a screenshot…that would be better.
I have acquired a prepaid GLOBE VISIBILITY KIT. And I’m planning to have smart work on this.
If anyone here have anything relevant on what I wrote above, please contact me via email..
