What is a Modem?
The unlocking of a modem in this context is about configuring a particular Sim card modem into accepting different Sim cards other than the original sim that has been programmed for it. (Eg, A glo modem if unlocked will start accepting airtel, mtn as well as 9mobile Simcards.)
As fun as this sounds, it can be frustrating as well when the bad network battle starts, that’s why people choose the route of unlocking their modem, to a universal modem.
Having a universal modem makes it easy to switch to a better and a favourable network if network failure arises. The benefit of favourable network, smooth browsing and quick downloads cannot be fathomed, it’s an amazing experience.
