bro pls how can i browse on my ipad 3 with mtn bis

sushieater:
oga howfar, how u take do am?..pls help

See the attached screenshot. The MTN sim I used got active BIS subscription before I swapped it into my phone. Then I reboot the phone.

Although, the browsing did not start immediately, I keep trying open my browser... after sometime my Whatsapp started working, them my emails started coming. It took my phone more than 24hrs before my browser started working. That is my personal experience.

You are right. But seems MTN has blocked the apn, for like more than 12hrs now it has stopped working, I will still try it later.

[quote author=tonardo]

It is not VPN that makes it work on my phone, I never say that neither did I advertised any VPN to anyone. Moreso, the VPN is my private and premium VPN (I just tested it if it could work), you dont expect me to post my premium account details either in private or public. I believe this method of connection is not stable unlike Airtel.

but when i said this thing was hit or miss it was like i did'nt know what i was saying? cheesy cheesy

its hit or miss. fact.


truth is there are like a few IPs that u get assigned that will owrk. since u cannot chhose the IP u get from MTN's BIS servers, u should just keep reconnecting to the server till it gives u an IP that connects.

yesterday was different though because at a point even DroidVPN refused to connect.


what i do at times is select the APN, and toggle airplane mode a few times till it gets a IP that goes. if i try that for like 5 minutes and it still does not, i remove the sim from the phone and insert it back and boot.

thats the real truth about the ish. whether its worth the hassle is your choice to make. DroidVPN works more often than not without all these wahala

You are very right. The hope of connecting is very unreliable with this MTN stuff, when I got connected yesterday with Edge signal, surfing the web was very fast.

Re: MTN BIS IS NOW A OPEN SOURCE,,.HOW? by tonardo(m): 8:14am On Jan 06, 2013
Another tip trick for mtn bis...
I dual boot my galaxy s3 trying different custom roms on my device..
So after installing new rom yesterday I cant connect.. I still try uninstalling set dns and try no way and my account bal is 0.00 ..
I decide to load 100 naira...then it works fine..
calculating my data on mtn weekly plan. Almost getting to 10GB if not more than...
If you are finding it difficult to connect try this...
1.uninstall set dns
2.leave your APN -blackberry.net
3.delete the mtn proxy- not set
4.delete port. 8080- not set
5. If you bal. Is 0.00 transfer #50 or load #100....
If you try all this and it did not work...let me know..my is working fine....on my G.S3 ....
My bal still intact...working fine
One disadvantages of low end phones its laggs especially on network
Connectivity.
My galaxy y pro dous after changing the APN network would disappear until I reboot or remove battery....

Happy sunday..God bless

Re: MTN BIS IS NOW A OPEN SOURCE,,.HOW? by Nobody: 8:17pm On Jan 07, 2013
So, in essence...which is better? Using DroidVpn or SetDNS?
Re: MTN BIS IS NOW A OPEN SOURCE,,.HOW? by tonardo(m): 11:06am On Jan 08, 2013
First. Impression with droidvpn ...
Yesterday mtn bis(blackberry.net) couldn't pop up network (E or 3g/H) so I checked my status by sending status to 21600..I was told that am not on any blackberry plan..so I decided to subscribe for a monthly plan...
After subscription I couldn't connect with or without DNS then I remembered droidvpn and install it and it connect telling me that I has 100mb for trial (one day) ..so am posting with droidvpn ....
Not new to droidvpn as I have been using their three months plan (PD proxy) on my PC....
If droidvpn is fast and stable I shall be upgrading to prenium ....
I think if you try DNS it does not work try Droid vpn ...
