Ok, you have to find the freaking driver, I know it's a pain in the butt. Plus for you Vista people you have to make sure you have admin rights or this won't work.
Use Device Manager to find the name driver.
To get to Device Manager:
- Start
- Run
- cmd
- Type in devmgmt.msc
Right click on the USB modem
Left click install.
When the hardware wizard loads, check 'Install for a list or specific location
Click Next
Check the box to Include this location....
Point to C\Program Files\Alltel\QuickLink Mobile
Click Next
If that doesn't work try this
Use Device Manager to find the name driver.
To get to Device Manager:
- Start
- Run
- cmd
- Type in devmgmt.msc
Right click on the USB modem
Left click install.
Click Don't search ....
Click Next
Click Have Disk
Click Browser
Navigate to C\Program Files\Alltel\QuickLink Mobile
This should get the usb modem recognized, if not return it!
none of the above works
there are no drivers either on the harddrive nor available on the net for windows 7 64 bit pantech um150. more than likely the vista 64 drivers WOULD work but they do not come packaged individually. the VZ access manager simply dies when it gets to that point and says unsupported OS
Welcome all to sevenforums.
Which version do you need 32 or 64 bit?
I will try to find it for you.
As you can see on the past you linked (or maybe not since it shows my name there mike g)
I already did it.
No good
I have the cd as well as the downloaded install
no good
the thing is the program has embedded drivers
you cannot :force: extract them (or at least I have not been able to)
they are in a program called setup. That is the ONLY file in the "drivers: folder after an install
if you try to RUN setup the built-in script checks your OS
if it is wrong OS it just flat fails. Nothing gets extracted.
If someone could figure out how to extract those files or simply install the modem on their own computer then ZIP up the drivers that WILL extract in the RIGHT OS, then maybe I can trick windows 7 into running them
It might not even need to be tricked. The Smart People at Verizon just tried to be too helpful don’t want those nasty drivers getting loose. Let’s compile them into a setup.exe file and add the caveat that unless you have the OS I say you get no drivers. Tough Luck
Thanks for the upload.
Unfortunately, we had to move on and we the client bought another aircard the PCI EXPRESS version which has NO problems working in Vista. XP. Windows 7, both 64 and 32 bit.
Although it does NOT say such on the box. It does work.
I hope that anyone who happens to read this post gets your driver upload to try before they go to that extreme. My clients could not wait for me to try anything. But anyone buying a new aircard that plans on using Windows 7 should NOT get the UMB model / any version (150 OR 175 OR OTHER) , in my opinion. They are both the same mfr/same drivers and they will have the same problems. the PCI EXPRESS card worked perfect on a fully updated Windows 7 laptop
Maybe I will get the chance to test these if they send the modem back to the office. I would surely like to try. For now, I need to switch to a different topic as we now have another "mystery" to solve. However it involves a MAPI problem and a program that will not properly connect to and use Outlook in ANY 64 bit OS, Windows 7, Vista ect.
Thanks for your help
I will report back as soon as I get the aircard I will test what you sent.

It is a bit clunky..but it works.
I had to install each driver manually, and do a full reboot..
Then I was able to connect with out issue after that and surf like a mad man.
WINDOWS 7 on a DELL MINI 9..
Very nice!
