How to change MAC address of mobile broadband

[crazyfrog]

Hi everyone ,
I have a virgin mobile broadband (the usb dongle) .Everytime I connect to the internet ,it gives me same IP address.I thought it should change everytime.

Does anyone know ,how can I change the MAC address for this USB dongle broadband device.
I dont want to change my provider as I have 18 month contract .

Please let me know if you know any software which would change the IMEI or the MAC address of this.

Thanks.

I could of swore these change IP each time you connect to them.. are you sure your ip isn't changing? Go to https://www.ipburger.com and make sure

Also do a search for dongle in the forums, there are plenty of threads on this subject already.

hi thanks for your response.I am already aware that ip addresses for the following mobile broadband changes.
3 network ,T-mobile and 02 .

However for Virgin and Vodafone ,it doesnt change ,it always stays the same and I belive the fact that they might have assigned Static IP to the device.
Therefore my concern was that ,if somehow I am able to change the physical address (MAC or the IMEI ) ,for the device then most probably this would be solved.

In neither of the previous threads ,this was resolved .If you know a thread in which solution for changing-mac for the mobile broadband dongle is given ,please forward it to me,

best regards.

If you have a Static IP address then you won't be able to change your IP without calling your ISP..

It's time for a new ISP if your ip is static.
