No this was not helpful at all, you didn't add anything useful.
What actually happens is that these companies are fooling the customers by help of Netgear or otherwise. The customers should be clearly told that the device that they pay for is unusable with a different SP, and they are free to decide.
In my case, if I knew that I wouldn't take it, I had to buy it from that specific SP because it's not available in the local market anywhere else.

Hi assa2005,
They are correct. You would need to contact that ISP and have them unlock the device for you.
Please keep us updated. :]
