Any data device that you use needs to be configured to use
MTN's extensive mobile data network. Your MTN-branded USB modem or data card
has already been configured so you do not have to worry about that.
If you're not using an MTN-branded device, you can request
for MTN's internet browsing settings (also referred to as APN settings or
packet data settings on some phones) by typing the word SETTINGS as an SMS and
send to 3888, free of charge.
If your handset or device allows over-the-air updates, you
will receive an SMS notifying you to save setup information that the network
will send to you. Please save the settings as soon as they are delivered to
your phone to avoid deleting them in error.
Also, if you currently enjoy Internet browsing using your
3.5G enabled handset on MTN's data network, chances are that your handset is
already configured to use MTN's data network. You may however send SETTINGS to
3888 to be double sure!
For handsets or other devices that need to be configured
manually (e.g. mostly Windows-based handsets), you will need to configure the
data settings on your handset with the settings information provided below:
