How To Unlock Huawei USB Internet Modem Without Unlock Code

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.
