How To Unlock Your 3g Usb Internet Modem With The Unlock Code
Once I’ve provided you with the unlock key, follow the steps below to unlock the modem.
Insert a SIM CARD different from the network that sold you the modem. For example, if you bought your modem from GLO, remove the GLO SIM inside and put in MTN, ZAIN or ETISALAT.
Plug the USB Modem into your computer and open the dashboard from where you connect to the internet.
After a few seconds/minute, a small window will pop up requesting for the unlock code.
Type in the unlock code correctly and click enter.
If the unlocking was successfully, the small window will automatically disappear meaning that your usb internet modem has been successfully unlocked 
. As shown below, give the dashboard a few seconds and @ the bottom left corner, it will start showing the name of the network whose SIM is within the modem.
How To Connect To Other Networks Using An Unlocked Usb Modem
Once your USB modem has been unlocked, you can now browse with any of the GSM networks BUT you will need to fill in their respective internet settings for you to be able to connect freely.
Under your dashboard, click on Tools then Options under which you’d now select Profile Management.
Under Profile Management, click on New and fill in the following for each network you want to setup
Once you’re done setting up a network, 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, then click connect. If everything was setup properly, you should be able to browse without a hitch unless the network is experiencing problems @ that point in time.
