I guess the network will come online at some point. If you are worried, download the latest firmware from both Huawei and CellC, along with an application from Huawei to flash it. In my experience you can flash the modem with Huawei firmware and then set it up for any SP you like. Sometimes the Huawei firmware gives you extra capabilities as well.

As far as I know, it is now illegal for service providers to lock phones.
