As asked about unlocking a Tata Photon Plus Huawei EC156 so it will accept another CDMA “SIM”: the key facts first. CDMA data dongles are normally bound to a carrier by the device ESN/MEID and by carrier-side provisioning. They do not behave like GSM phones where swapping any SIM usually works. That means swapping a RUIM/CSIM will only work if the new operator will accept and provision the modem’s MEID/ESN, or the device is truly unlocked.

Practical first steps you can apply immediately: find the exact model, firmware and the modem’s MEID/ESN. Plug the EC156 into a Windows PC and check Huawei Mobile Partner -> Tools -> About (Device info). If that is not available, open Windows Device Manager -> Modems (or Ports) -> device properties -> Details to get hardware identifiers, or read the sticker under the dongle. Record model, firmware version and MEID/ESN — those values determine which unlock methods will work.

Typical unlock options: (1) ask Tata Photon/Tata customer support to release the MEID or provide an official unlock — carrier provisioning is the cleanest approach; (2) use a paid third‑party unlock service that supports Huawei modems (for example DC-Unlocker) — these require correct drivers and a paid unlock credit; (3) if neither is possible, buy an unlocked USB modem from the operator you want to use or use phone tethering as an alternative.

Cautions: unlocking or firmware flashing can void warranty, may brick the device, and can conflict with carrier terms. CDMA devices rely on MEID/ESN provisioning (see Mobile equipment identifier) rather than GSM-style IMSI-only unlocking, so the modem’s identifiers and the target carrier’s policy determine whether a usable unlock solution exists.
