Unlocking your USB Internet Modems is a great way of making sure that wherever you go, you are able to surf the internet on just about any network. Unfortunately some usb internet modems which are locked to the network provider might prove a bit difficult to unlock and MTN Nigeria’s FastLink Huawei modem is one of such modems.
For some reason, some MTN FastLink usb modems just don’t pop-up a window asking for an unlock code and that has baffled a lot of folks including me. Well one of the visitors here seems to have found a way to unlock his own Fastlink modem and has been gracious enough to share how he did it with me.
Here are the steps to unlocking your MTN Nigeria FastLink Huawei modem without any unlock code.
NOTE: This is just a tutorial based on a phone chat I had with my visitor. I don’t guarantee that this will work but since it worked for him, I’m guessing it should work for every other person.
STEP 1
Insert the SIM card you’d like to browse with inside your MTN FastLink Modem and then plug it into your computer/laptop.
STEP 2
Launch the MTN FastLink Connection Manager, go to Tools and then Network as shown in the image below. Under Network Type, select 3G preferred and Band GSM900/GSM1800/WCDMA2100. Click Apply
STEP 3
Go the Registration Mode tab and select Manual search and register. Click on Refresh and wait a minute after which the list of all networks within the reach of the modem will be displayed. Select the network you’d like to connect to and click Register.
NOTE: If you have an Etisalat SIM card in the modem, you choose Etisalat or 62160 (2G) as shown below.
Wait for the modem to Register to your selected network and then click OK to exit the options area.
Step 4
The network of your choice should now be showing at the bottom left corner of the connection software. Simply select the Connection profile for your network and click Connect and you’re good to go
If you don’t know how to create connection profiles, please click here and scroll down a little.
Do please be kind enough to leave a comment and let me know if this works for you or not. Thanks a lot and thanks to the guy whose feedback made this post possible.
Have a great weekend .

@Serious: What’s the model of your modem and the IMEI number?
hi, would you please help me unlock my Zain E1690. The apparatus says zain sudan when i insert it into my pc and ask me to add the data card number which Ethiopian CIM cards lack. what should i do to unlock the apparatus so as to make it recognize my(ethiopian) CIM card? the model no(E1690)also doesn’t exist on your list of the unlock codes. So would you please find me one for this model, if there is any? Eagerly waiting for ur response…
@Danye: you could try generating a generic code using the software’s Huawei settings then trying the unlock code it gives you once to see it that will work. If it fails once, do please search this site for *DC Crap* and use that software to unlock it

TIPS TO UNLOCK YOUR MTN F@STLINK
I have Huawei e1552, and entering unlocked codes have reach the limit of 10 tries, is there anyway I can ulocked this modem. Pls help. Thanks
You can use the PUK Code to unlock it. Go to www.az-gsm.com and generate your Unlocking Code. Then use the 2nd code from the one generated to first unlock the modem, then use the Unlocking Code to unlock it to different networks. Hope it helps?
nice one; hopefully will be useful someday as MTN right about now satisfies me just fine. keep up the good work; cheers!
Thanks man ;-)
