Fastlink Telecom is one of the leading carriers in Kurdistan. They’re best known for their 4G LTE coverage of the country which they were the first to introduce in 2013. This made them one of the top choices for both Mi-Fi (mobile Wi-Fi hotspot) and staying connected on other smart devices. Also, their bundles and scratch cards have a good reputation for affordable data combined with FUP (Fair Usage Policy) while roaming. Finally, Fast Pay, their sister company, makes paying quick and effortless via the mobile wallet. With that out of the way, here’s how to activate Fastlink SIM card.
