Most ZTE routers sold by network providers such as MTN, Vodafone, Airtel are “locked” to their network. This means you can only use that provider’s SIM card in the router. If you want to switch carriers (for better rates, coverage, or speeds), you need to unlock the router. Unlocking them is straightforward using our unlock code

Unlocking the router:

  • Provides Flexibility: You can choose any network operator with the best data plans, instead of being limited to the default one.
  • Improves Savings: You can use affordable local SIM cards while traveling internationally instead of paying expensive roaming charges.
  • Enhances Device Usage: Use your router in areas with better network coverage, or switch carriers if your current provider is experiencing issues.
