MTN's sim comes pre-installed with their access points...just check in your access point settings and make sure MTN wap is selected

there are a lot of ways to root droid devices, and they peculiar to each device,

-just search 'rooting -your device name-' you would find more than enough results, and the steps re very easy

rooting is same as hacking. it simply gives you root access (complete access) to your device.

firmware update is as it is, firmware update grin

there are various ways, you can lookup 'rooting sgs2 on Google'

but I think the easiest way is using 'gingerbreak'

there are a few simple steps you'll need to follow though

just look it up on Google

this is what the parameters look like on my screen...

APN: blackberry.net
PROXY: 010.199.212.002
PORT 8080

these re the only things you need to enter when creating the new access point

ok, that is the default MTN access point, you should have no problems connecting to with that...just make sure you've enabled data connection by doin this:

goto settings>wireless and networks>mobile networks> tick data enabled

you should see an 'E' or '3G' at the top of your screen...you can now connect to the internet

I use Samsung galaxy p1000 tab. I rooted it ystday and I downloaded d setdns, installed it and d d config as spelt out but it keeps saying d dns is not connected so it does nt work. Pls what do I do?
Re: Android Users Strictly-How to use Mtn's Unlimited Bis on your Droid...!!! by jereal(m): 12:49pm On May 25, 2012
@All... I just experienced the same problem, it happened when the BIS subscription on my sim expired...after renewal, the internet connection was restored...

here is the catch, the blackberry.net apn will not allow you connect if you do not have an active subscription, unlike the default apn that'll allow you connect but can't do anything if you do not have a plan or credit...

so I suggest you try the bbc week which goes for #500, if it works for you, then you can go ahead and subscribe for bbc monthly at #1500 which is a better bang for your bucks...

I am using Samsung I9003 unrooted running on gingerbread 2.3.6, i downloaded 'set dns' app on my phone, couldnt work. So I tried rooting it, i couldn't do it successfully, so i downgraded to 2.3.4, and rooted this successfully. Went back to the app, i found out that immediately i select the apn created for blackberry, my 3G/H icon on my phone disappears off. I swapped to etisalat, this worked fine only on the inbuilt browser, no any other apps installed on my phone could work with that trick.
