News that you
can unlock your 3G Faslink Modem,
Unlock Glo Modem, Unlock Zain
Modem, Unlock Etisalat Modem and
turn them to Universal Modems
with which you can use any SIM
card of any network of your choice.
This is been possible with the help
of Unlocking Softwares which
require mainly the IMEI number of
your Modem for them to calculate
the unlocking code for you within a
click of a button.
Some smart guys have been making
money for themselves offering this
unlocking service in return for
cash, while some are offering the
service free of charge. I have been
unlocking for some people free of
charge while some also do send me
recharge vouchers just to help them
do it and text it to their phone. This
way, I keep receiving a lot of
recharge vouchers, enough for me
to be paying for my internet
subscription. Imagine, thats just the
new way I now browse for free.......
What To Do After Receiving The
Unlock Code
Once you have your unlock code
handy, insert a SIM CARD different
from the network that originally
owns the modem i.e if you have
MTN Fastlink modem, remove the
MTN SIM and replace it with maybe
Glo, Zain or Etisalat SIM.
Thereafter, plug your modem back
into your computer. After some
seconds, you should then see a
small window in which you can
input the Unlock code. The picture
below is what the small window
normally looks like.
Type in the unlock code
correctly inside the small
window and click enter. If
the unlocking is
successfull, the small
window will disappear
meaning that your 3G
modem has been
successfully unlocked
NOTE: If any small window DID NOT
pop up, then it simply means your
modem is not locked. To confirm
this, you should also see the name
of the new network, lets say Glo,
appearing next to the network bars
at the lower left corner of the
modem's dashboard.
You ONLY have 10 attempts to
unlock your modem. This simply
means if you input the WRONG code
10 times, then your modem will be
locked FOREVER. Hance, don't
think you can use "Try & Error"
or Permutation to get the unlock
code. This is not "Further
Mathematics"...lol
The Unlocking software will always
calculate the right Unlocking code
for you. So, let people that have the
software unlock for you.
How To Create Profiles For MTN,
Glo, Zain and Etisalat
After unlocking your modem, you
will need to create new profiles for
other networks you want to
connect to via the unlocked modem..
To do this, click on "Tools" then
"Options" under which you will
now select "Profile Management".
Under Profile Management, click on
New and fill in the following for
each network you want to setup as
shown in the picture below..
For MTN
Profile Name: MTN
APN: web.gprs.mtnnigeria.net
Username : web
Password : web
For Globacom
Profile Name: Glo
APN: gloflat
Username : :flat
Password : flat
For Zain
Profile Name: Zain
APN: internet.ng.zain.com
Username : internet
Password : internet
For Etisalat
Profile Name: Etisalat
APN: etisalat
Username :web (you can also leave
it blank)
Password : web (you can also leave
it blank)
Once you’re done creating the
profile, click Save to save the
settings, then New if you want to
set up another network.
When you’re through setting up the
networks, go back to the
Connection page, select the network
you want to browse with, from the
drop down box, then click connect.
If everything was setup properly
without any mistake, you should be
able to get connected to the
Internet unless the network is
messing up at that point in time.
Note: As at the time of writing
this, it has been observed that some
MTN fastlink modems do not work
with GLO SIM even after unlocking.
Presently, I am using a Glo Modem
and I have used ALL the networks
with it. The Glo Modem has
interface for making calls, checking
account balance and for loading
vouchers. More so, the Glo Modem
has a special support for Windows
7, hence, works perfectly with it.
That's all for now.
I hope this helps...
