Cracking a GSM modem to accept SIM cards from other providers.



If you are here then its obvious what you are here for. You have a GSM modem that is locked to accepts SIM cards from only one provider. I am talking about a case in point in Kenya where for instance Safaricom has their modems only meant to accept Safaricom SIM cards. This means that you cannot use any other provider’s SIM on that modem.
Enough with the little talk, let’s get you cracking a modem, I guess you have work pending.
1.    Download and run this tool found here.
2.    You will see this interface.

3.    This shows that the modem has been detected. Click on the RESET MODEM on service radio button group.



4.    Now go on and unlock the modem. Check Auto-Calc Code and Auto-Unlock then click on the big red button UNLOCK.

5.    The modem is now unlocked. Read some of the information it provides for more information.
NOTE:
This technique will work for HUAWEI MODEMS.
If the unlocking fails the first time, ensure that the modem software is not running and also retry.
The tool provided is free to use and full credit goes to the developers who have to connection to this blog.

  1. If anyone was unable to unlock you modem by the above unlocking method means try any one of the online unlocking service provider like Unlocking4U.com Here you can unlock your modem from network lock at low cost.
