How to Configure MTN GPRS on Phones

MTN is a telecom service provider based in Nigeria. To access Internet on your MTN cell phone, you need valid GPRS settings. You can download and configure these settings to your phone either manually or automatically. Difficulty: Moderately Easy Instructions 1. Receive GPRS settings on your phone automatically. Create a new text message on your cell phone. Enter "SETTINGS" in the body of the message and send the message to "3888." Wait for the carrier to push-install GPRS instructions specific to your handset. You will receive a confirmatory SMS that will prompt you to "Save" the settings on your phone. 2.
