MTN Nigeria OTA internet settings via SMS

Have a mobile phone powered with an MTN sim and want to browse the web? Well first of all, your phone or device has to be configured for internet browsing.

There are two ways I know you can configure your phone for internet browsing and these are: Manual and Automatic configuration.

The automatic or OTA(Over The Air) configuration is much easier as MTN Nigeria already has a pre-configured setting they can send to your phone for free once you send the SMS activation code.

How to request for browsing configuration via SMS
Do the following:
- Send the word SETTINGS to 3888
- You will receive settings on your phone if available
- Save those settings
- Switch of your phone and on again
- Start browsing on a Pay as you go basis as long as you have credit.

Most GSM networks in Nigeria also do have a way og getting the GPRS settings using SMS or a USSD code. Just prompt your network for the internet settings and it should be sent to you for free.
