Mobile Partner Unlocker - enhance abilities of Huawei Mobile Partner for macOS
January 25, 2014 , revised June 11, 2021 in ProjectsThere are certain features of Huawei Mobile Partner that are normally disabled in the “stock” build:
- Sending USSD messages through the Huawei modem - check balance, refill, manage account, etc
- Preset USSD messages - press a button to check your balance.
- Making and receiving calls through the Huawei modem (if modem supports it) - sometimes useful in an emergency situation; definitely useful for voice-guided carrier menus.
- Retinisation - Mobile Partner will look smoother on high-resolution Apple Retina displays.
They are disabled because you’re expected to use the “branded” driver, provided for your specific modem by your carrier. If the carrier doesn’t bother, you are out of luck.

Also, the most recent drivers are always the “stock” drivers, available from the Huawei Support page (look for “DataCard”).
The support page is no longer available. Try downloading from the product support for the modem - but I can’t test it myself. Otherwise use drivers that came with your modem.
This is a tool that changes configuration of the Mobile Partner application. It doesn’t add any binary code to it. It’s safe.
