Have you ever been stucked with your hauwei modem? Or you just wish you could use another network apart from the one that came with  your modem?, well what you need is to unlock your modem,There are various ways in achieving this aim, ranging from the use of various softwares available over the net, and also the use of other some online tools,Personally ever since theres a  need for me to unlock modems, the method i use most is the online unlocking method which works very fast an accurate.

Nowadays i believe unlocking a modem shouldn’t be that hard, but i still find it amusing that some people still pay engineers to help them unlock their modems.

Well, if you are part of those who do not know how to unlock your Hauwei Modemssuch as the MTN Fastlink, Glo HSI, Etisalat and Zain 3G Modems, then this is a lucky post you have stumbled upon! Because you will definitely turn an engineer yourself.

Here is how i do it just follow the steps
1) Launch your browser and go to http://a-zgsm.com/huawei.php
(2) You will then be required to input your IMEI Number. ( you should be able to get this on your modem)
(3) Insert the Security code that will be given to you right below the Enter IMEI.
(4) Then Click Calculator.Then your Unlock code will be generated with a flash code. the flash code isn’t useful at all just copy out the Unlock code

Now to make use of this unlock code that you have generated, all you have to do is to

1.Remove the SIM CARD that came with the modem

2. Insert an unauthorized SIM Card ( a sim card of another network) into the Huawei Modem you intend to unlock. i.e if you are using MTN Fastlink, remove the MTN SIM in it and put in either Zain, Etisalat or Glo SIM)

3. After that, insert the modem into your computer, Then a small Dialogue Box will be displayed on your screen, not to worry thats what we need, then you would be prompt for the Modem’s Unlock Code.

4. Now enter the Unlock code you have generated.

5. Now your modem should be unlocked. You should now be able to use your Huawei USB modem with SIM Cards from any other operator not just the one you unlock with.

Normally, when ever a new Hauwei Modem is gotten, its always installed with a particular setting, which is of the network that comes with it, And once you modem is unlocked for you to use it , you will need to set up new configurations for the new network(s), so below i will be listing out the configuration of each of the  major networks here in Nigeria.

1. click open your Operator’s Modem Icon on the Desktop page ( this should pop out normally after inserting the modem)

2. Next, click “Tool” then “Option” then “Profile Management“. click on “New” then edit the profile name and input the name of the operator package you want to create. i.e
“MTN 3G”

3. Now click on ‘Static‘, then enter your APN ( access point), Username andPassword, leaving the Access Number as *99# ( this is general for all networks)
