By John

up till now some people are still finding it difficult to manually configure their mtn simcard for gprs internet browsing. gone are those days where you have to call mtn customer care to send you their gprs internet settings before you can use your mobile phone to browse the internet.the era of calling mtn customer care for internet settings has been reduced since one can easily manually configure their mtn line to browse the internet.unlike before when you need to send text for them to automatically send the internet configuration settings to your mobile phone.today i am going to share with you on how to manually configure your phone to browse the internet


you can do it yourself without going to mtn office to connect your phone to the internet for you,although some of the latest Nokia phones do not support manual configuration of internet browsing,therefore the configuration would be sent to your mobile phone automatically when you insert your mtn simcard or you can simply create a prov file for it, you can read my post on how to create prov file for any nigeria network operator.

its very simple and we shall illustrate this by using Nokia phone for example,nokia2700.
