Normally when you buy a new 3G internet modem from a service provider the modem will be locked to the network in order not to support or work on any other network. If you insert another network Sim card on it you would be asked to provide your unlock code all because it has been locked by the service provider. The unlock code allows you to bypass the modem in order to be able make use of another network Sim card on it.

How to get started
Firstly, you need to generate the unlock code. And how do I generate the unlock code?
You can generate the unlock code using a software called Master Unlocker.

On your Universal MasterCode application, Click on "Huawei" tab, then erase the IMEI existing on the application and type in the IMEI number you found at the back of your modem And then click on “Calculate


Immediately a result displays, copy the code/number in the “UNLOCK CODE” roll field to your notepad or write it some where.

Remove the Sim card on your Fastlink/3G Huawei internet modem and replace it with another network provider Sim card. That’s is, if your modem is MTN fastlink, remove the MTN sim card and insert Airtel, Glo or Etisalat.
