It's no longer news that Ntel 4G network is now available in Lagos, Abuja and Rivers State.

The only news is that some Devices not listed by Ntel as compatible, can actually work with the sim.

Ntel Listed some devices that are compatible, which comprises:

Brand Model
Tecno C5
Samsung S6
Konka R1 R2 P8
Huawei Mate 8 Mate 7
Infinix Zero 3
Lenovo P1M A2010

Some of these devices supports only Data connection, whilst others supports both Data and Voice over LTE.
Here's the good news: Whether your device supports Voice over LTE or not, Ntel would Launch an app that would be downloaded on your LTE branded phone, in order for you to be able to make voice call, within a month or two

If your device is LTE but not included on the list above, like mine, never mind.

Just visit any Ntel shop, pally with any of the customer care representative. She'll remove her sim and insert in your phone to test the compatibility.

Please note the ffg.

As soon as you insert the sim, no signal would appear on whichever slot (sim1 or sim2) you inserted the sim. Never mind if this happens. All you have to do are the following

Manual Internet configuration

1) Ensure There's data on the 4g Ntel sim you want to use for the test
2) Go to settings, Select data Usage,
3) You'll see overview.
4) Select Ntel and set the Cellular Data as Ntel
5) Next, Find your way to Cellular network Settings.
6) Preferred network set as 4g recommended
7) APN. Click on it and set up a new profile: Name Ntel. APN :ntel Password and user name can be left blank, doesn't matter
Exit, but ensure all is set as Ntel.
9) Switch on airplane mode and switch it off. ( or if you can be patient enough to reboot your device)
10) Now the 4g Network should appear.

If after doing the above, still no network from Ntel, two of the following must have happened.

1) No Ntel network yet in your neighborhood.
see coverage areas in Lagos http://www.ntel.com.ng/4g-lte-coverage/
see coverage areas in Abuja http://www.ntel.com.ng/4g-lte-coverage/

If your area is covered, then further settings required.

2) Ensure your device is

Device chipset supported 4G/3G/2G or LTE/WCDMA/GSM (Available mode)MTK 6735, Exynos 7420 Octa
Radio frequency bands FDD
LTE bands supported 3, 8 (900MHz and 1800MHz)


Next is to dial on the call tab as if you want to make call *#*#4636#*#*
It will take you to 'testing page' with the following headings

Phone Info
Battery Info
Usage Info
Wifi info.

Select Phone Info
Check if you can see Current Network as ntel
Then scroll down to where you can PPP sent, PPP Received, Number of PPP
Just after the fourth line, you'll see a dialogue arrow.
Select it and a list of options would appear.
Select LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)
Scroll down to where you have SMSC
Click refresh first
Then Click update.

With these done, the network 4g should appear.

If your phone meets the above requirements, then you should be live on Ntel, just as I am.

My phone is INNJOO FIRE 2 PLUS LTE

Its working fine.

Gonna be watching BVB vs Man United now on NTEL network at 1:00Pm Nigerian time on my System in the office Friday, 22/7/2016

I followed every step up until i got to SMSC______ when i clicked refresh, it shows "Refresh Error, when i click update, it says update error.

i guess it's because:
1. there's currently no signal on the Ntel sim as i'm configuring it.
2. I removed the other sim(GLO) when doing this configuration, else, while the GLO sim was on, it showed glo SMSC code and when i clicked update, it refused to summit. now that i've removed the glo sim, there's no signal whatsover, and it's just showing refresh error.

can you please tell us the SMSC number of Ntel if you know it?
or
how else can we solve this issue.

Have you ever used Ntel on it?

For you to use Ntel on any 4g/lte phone, you must put the preferred network to 4g only before the network will appear, if the preferred network is 4g/3g or 4g/3g/2g the network will not come up, so you must set your preferred network to 4g only. You can also buy the wawu sim to get 12gig for 1000 naira.
