Comparing Vmobile, MTN, Glo and MTEL GPRS Browsing

About that using glo line as a modem for laptop internet connection,i just set up the connection manually on the laptop as usually(using *99# as the dial up number) and i made glogwap my default browser setting on my mobile and it was up.however,i didnt stay up for long because i didnt want glo to whip my cash... Although i think they charge #20 per kb 12am-6am.<reference_gosmartmobile.com>* % note% i think you have to call glo customer care to demand for the service for full internet connection using phone as modem;i m not sure because i didnt request for it myself,the glo line i use for surfing was given to of by a friend. Probably,he had done that but i don't know sha,though i l try it when i get another line sha... Peace alllll...

About the manual configuration stuff,for phones which can't get the push message automaticaly,it is no big deal.once you know the settings,its just as easy as imputing the settings on the phone yourself. What people still don't understand is that you might have correctly put the settings on your phone but your glo line might not have been provisioned for the service. So it is necessary you call their customer care service to inquire if they have provisione ur line for the service.(unlike mtn that you l just send a text "settings" to 3888.                Talking about manual configuration,some phones cannot be manually configured for browsing services other than the company's service. Some might give room for other manual settings but of which you must enter the company's homepage first before accessing ur bookmark or entering your url... Other types can allow for any line of settings(mostly nokia,samsung etc...)... Most nec phones i have seen cannot be configured manually with other settings.

I see your point but I wouldn't mind if you dash me your nec phone!!

hi all...still on that last discussion i think the settings for glo full internet differs from the usual wap setting...see gosmartmobile.com for further details..

are u referin to me mamba?

@tassmal, i was actually refering to denizman as per glodirect.. i'm on wap now & can't really understant what problen you have with your nec phone.. what network are you using & what phone model, let me see if i can help you out.

Hi all...mamba sorry for the break in com,the settings for the glo on pc is the same as that on the previously written site...a friend of mine had got it set up for quite a while but i don't like using glo for the surfing now since i still got a free option.,but its connection rate is quite cool...        talking about the general status of the gprs connection speed on all the lines,i think we have to reverse our previous statement about mtn...they have been doing really fine for about a month now.with very little hassles...glo still remain as usual,undisputed for now,as for v-mobile,i actually just arrived from school and there is no vmobile signal there, so i m just trying to access its own speed,although i m posting with it now...still no news from mtel now.those who claim to have the settings for it should be proud to come out with it 1st,else i believe its a blatant lie for now...............*some news for seun-i have noticed for long now that one cannot login with mtn,but can do with the rest.

Hi guys its been quite a long time. Our service providers have been trying i would say at the moment. Mtn is not doing bad,so is glo and vmobile is also far from the rest,only that it sends too much of errors when trying to access some sites. No words still on mtels claim of gprs service,or is anyone having any clues...not lies sha!

Hello Everyone,

I use a Siemens CX65 and currently having problems sending mms, I have requested for mms activation, and the settings have been sent to my phone but it still doesnt work. My gprs is working quite fine, have been wapping since the day it got activated, but it's just the mms.

The only data missing in the settings is the "Relay Server URL" . I looked up a MTN MMS profile and found this info was there but on the Vmobile MMS Profile it isnt.

Can anyone heeeellllpp?

hey, am in trouble down here. i just finished installing the Glo Gprs Settings I got 4rom Nairaland and when I tried it after about 10 to 15 secs loading, it will say "Connection failed, Try later". I have a feeling that the settings are not correct. Can someone please give me the complete Glo Gprs Settings? I'd be very grateful. Am using a Sendo S30 Phone. Just help me if u can. 
You can PM me.

i have problem sending SMS from my Mtel(Nitel) line due to Massage Center Number
any idea.

calling mtel 170,175, 176 no results

mtn gprs is working very well on my phone,nokia 2650.except 4 a few hiccupps at times.i have used it to download many polytones,pictures etc.and am not being charged 4 using the service by mtn.vmobile csd is a money eating fraud.unless their new gprs service has improved.anyone that has problems wit his or hers should notify me.

i ve requested for the glo gprs.but i havent gotten the settings.the sms requsting no longer works.i ve called the glo customer care over a million times requesting for the service,and they keep on saying that they eill send it,but i havent seen anything.as for the mtn gprs wap.it has stopped working on my phone but the gprs icon shows and the service has stopped working.

hi there, i have all the wap settings for vmobile on my phone(nokia 3120)but i still can't browse. i called vmobile and was asked to send sms to 184. i told them i already have all the wap parameters on my phone but the person that attended to me still insisted i should send the sms. well, any suggestions?

i've sent the text,awaiting their reply.
well, each time i try to connect, it says no gprs connection available.

Are you there
