HOW TO CONFIGURE ANDROID PHONE INTERNET SETTINGS IN NIGERIA

How To Configure Android Phone Internet Settings in Nigeria

If you prefer to connect your Android
phone or tab to the internet using mobile networks instead of wi-Fi
networks, there is need for you to activate mobile data service on
your Android device. Unfortunately, most Android tablets and phones
are unable to accept Over-The-Air (OTA) 3G/GPRS settings and need to
be set up manually.

Today, I am sharing with you, how you can manually set up Etisalat,
Glo, Airtel and MTN internet settings on your Android phone or tab, be
it Samsung, HTC, LG or Tecno Android phone. You must know the APN of
Etisalat, Glo, MTN and Airtel for you to be able to configure your
Android for internet.

How Do I configure Internet Settings On
my Android Phone or tab?

==> Tap "Menu" or "Apps"

==> Tap "Settings"

==> Tap "Wireless and Networks" or
"More Settings"
If you tapped "Wireless and Networks",
tap "Mobile Networks"
If you tapped "More Settings", tap
"Mobile Networks" > "Mobile Data"

horizontal lines, a square within a square or the word Menu)

==> Then select New APN
