Assuming you are using a Universal Modem or probably you Unlocked Your Modem to use any other SIM Network Service, but find it difficult to configure your Modem with any of the Nigerian networks, then this guide is for you. All Modems follow the same basic principle of configuration which I would outline below.

Note that without creating a Networks profile for your new sim, you can’t connect with the SIM and that’s the reason for this post.
