    C1's don't use the SPGOBI2 period.

    There is a password that you need to unlock it.

    Sorry.

    You mean C1mk2 don't use SPGOBI2. Probably the same issue with 31mk1, 19mk5+, etc.

    I've used it on my C1mk1 (and CF19mk4), in DOS mode, in order to unlock WWAN.

    Can you offer the WWAN module install/activation service (i.e. RuggedDepot has that password) or only Heartlands has it ?

    Rugged Depot can set it all up, if I am right some one else was looking and Rob said they can do it.

    Nope,

    It's at the hardware level. You HAVE to send it to us. We would also need the GOBI card you're trying to install. If it helps any, I can provide you a fedex label. We get a CRAZY good price on shipping so it won't cost too much to ship it on our account.

    Thanks!
