Hey people you can actually browse the net using your computer or laptop free of charge 24/7 with your vmobile/ celtel line.All you need is a phone with GPRS and Bluetooth technology,preferably a Nokia brand,then you pay for a connection fee ones and for all. It works; I am using it.

plz i also have a sendo x, can u plz give me further details on how to do this i.e browse with my computer using my phone

hi coolskeelz, please i really need that piece of information
i have a pentium 4, dell laptop and a sony ericsson k700i, i already have a 100 meter usb bluetooth

i have tried it but it cldn't work, if it shows connected, i still can browse but can only send pics or my phone book from my phone to the laptop through the bluetooth but i can't browse.

please help me out

i will be grateful

thanks

I've already tried it with my Nokia N-gage and it worked.
All you need is a GPRS enabled phone and a bluetooth dongle. You'll make use of the Dial up networking service and it works for you.
No secret code or password is requirred. But I think Celtel is carrying out an upgrade which will eventually commences billing for the connections later and it may be expensive. I don't think the connection works for glo line, despite the fact that they're charging. I've tried it with glo, it didn't work

1. Model

3. GSM Network
4. Ur Phone number

I tried it and it works!!!

@Jalal thanks your a lyfesaver

@ all,
pls note that celtel/vmobile has restrictions on some line/subscribers; so not everyone will be able to access the wap/gprs features.

to connect ur PC to the internet through ur phone's gprs access here's what u do :
if u r using a bluetooth/infrared, then ur phone will have to support the *modem over infrared/bluetooth* feature. i know there are some phones that don't but there should be just a few of them.

if u r using a cable, u'll have to install the cable drivers for ur phone. normally it comes in the CR-ROM bundled with ur phone.
in the case of nokia phone, pc suite covers this.


creat a dail up connection on ur pc and select ur mobile phone's modem as default.
dail up name came be anything,
username : wap
password : wap
number : *99***1# or *99#

NOTE: like i said earlier, celtel has restrictions !
having wap access on ur phone does not guarantee it'll work on ur PC/lappy.

hope this helps,

cheers.

Celtel sucks. The last time I was in Nigeria (last October) the GPRS was just horrible.

@niyyie,

just happens that celtel's gprs is the fastest compared to glo and mtn.

@Niyyie is that a fact? I know about Mtn's but not Glo's.

@niyyie,

just happens that celtel's gprs is the fastest compared to glo and mtn.

You've got to be kidding me!!! What part of Nigeria are you? You should have share that with us.

See, I was in Lagos, Ibadan, Katsina and Sokoto this last October. Celtel's GPRS was horrible in the south, and none functional in the north. Thats what I experienced.

@niyyie,
ask around, celtel's gprs is best.
meanwhile i'm in lagos.
it could be true though, about the time you mention cos they probably just kick off the service then.
but now, it's a lot different from what it was then.

cheers.

I wouldn't know wether Celtel has began their GPRS upgrades 'cos the connection doesn't seem to be functional on my Pc for the past 24hrs. It'll conect to the PC from the phone, but just won't browse and I'm sure my settings were intact. What's wrong ?

Have you checked whether the GPRS is available on your mobile phone? because the Celtel GPRS is currently not available, at least my phone keeps telling me that her ein Abuja.

Celtel's GPRS is not available here and the MTN GPRS isnt working for 2 days now

Hi guys i want to setup my GPRS using a usb gsm modem i bought of recent.
I have installed it on my laptop but it doesn't seem to be able to install the MTN GPRS settings.
the modem software is "mobilephonetools".
I need to know how to set this up, who has an idea?
