Thus, one might not be able to get full LTE connectivity out of Indonesia. It has been tested that both Indonesia version of E5372S & MF90 are locked sets & only FDD-LTE compliant. Key benefit is the monochrome LCD panel with quick visual access to the menu & device information. Trh former is slightly fatter, shorter & thicker. Overall, the Huawei E5372S is very similar to ZTE MF90. Typical to other Huawei modem, there are 2 slots – x1 for the regular sized sim card and the other for microSD card (up to 32gb official support, though 64gb works fine too). The package comes with the modem, charging cable, charging adaptor and the battery.
Packaging wise is pretty similar to the earlier ZTE MF90 model, but this time round BOLT! has partnered with LINE to launch unlimited call & messaging using LINE & BOLT! service. The only difference is the included battery – E5372S (Slim) & E5372 (Max), with a bigger capacity for the latter one. The new bundled modem is manufactured by Huawei and comes in 2 models. Likewise to earlier model (MF90), the bundled package is very attractive in terms of price point – only Rp299K (S$30) for both the LTE modem (E5372S) & 8GB prepaid LTE sim card which is valued at Rp75K (S$7.5). In my last recent trip to Indonesia (Jakarta), I chanced on the new release from BOLT! of the new LTE modem ( E5372 / 5372S) which is bundled with new prepaid LTE sim card subscription.
