Ok Bamdil,I assume you use a nec,check your phone by going to network setup then check the APN settings,you'll notice that only one of the three APNs can be edited i.e you cannot alter the other two manually,that's where the code comes in; type *#2634# and you don't need to send because the code disappears immediately you enter the last # key.Then next go to network setup and you can now edit all the APNs and input the GPRS settings you want. PS:You will have to enter this code again each time you switch on your phone in case you want to edit the APN again. I hope this helps.

Where can i get a sim card reader/writer in computer village or elsewhere?

Does anyone know of any phone with an intel microprocessor out there,i learnt they were once into phone chips.any ideas?

Need help knowing your nec e313 software version? just type in this code: *#2820#.and the software version will be displayed on the phone screen.

Does cell phones have a RAM jus like PC or is it just internal memory cos there's this application i was trying to download to my phone recently and one of the requirements was a 512kb SDRAM.So do phones have a RAM to run applications and if so how does one get to know the RAM size of a mobile?

Ok,talking about 3G phones most of them are network branded so watch out when buying,i'll advice you buy an unbranded product or the one that's already unlocked except u have a ready software to unlock it.Some of the available 3G phones are:
LG:KG810 chocolate phone,U830,U880,L343i,8360,8138
NEC: N411i(i mode), N343i(i mode),e338, e228,e313,e616,e606,e808y,e525
Nokia:E- series;E90,E65,N- series;N73,N77,N80, N90,N91,N95(1Q 2007),7390,6234,7600
Samsung:SGH-Z560,Z400,Z320i,Z540V,Z500
Sony ericcson:W710i,P990i,W850i,v650i,k800i,v800,w950i,w550i,m600,v630
Motorola motorazr. This list is not exhaustive.now the choice is yours,just walk into slots and ask them out.

well i guess you'll have to try that out yourself. Besides the code is not for unlocking phones its just for enabling the GPRS settings for NEC.Honestly i haven't tried it on other phones.

hey guys,the code is *#2634#.I guarantee this will unlock the other APNs at once.So now you don't have to delete any APN again. you can put in Glo,MTN,and celtel settings all at once.good luck

UMTS is an acronym for Universal Mobile Telecommunications System,it is a 3G mobile technology which makes use of the Wide Code Division Multiple Access(W-CDMA),a system that speeds up data transfer. It was designed to succeed the aging 2G GSM technology deployed worldwide.UMTS is already available in Europe and some African countries like Mauritius and South Africa courtesy of Vodacom and MTN.With UMTS,data transfer rates could be as fast as 3Mbits/sec compared to GSM which is capable of about 14kbits/sec.Plans are underway to increase uplink and downlink speed of UMTS using the High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) technology sometimes known as 3.5G and with this dial up speeds will compete with broadband.Some of the features of UMTS include video recording as well as live TV recording and video conferencing among others.However you need a 3G enabled phone to assess these features.there are so many of them around.3G rocks and will soon storm Naija!

jobman:
Ok feelgood (m) just send post the numbers (are they already re-activated by customer service?) and U go get gprs on them immediately i see it here on nairaland!!!!

@ jobman please help your brother,my numbers are :08042268117 and 08043017749.please help me reactivate them and configure them for GPRS.please i'll be very grateful. thanks and God bless u.

@ jobman please my numbers are: 08042268117 and 08043017749.please i need them reactivated and configured for GPRS,please help me.thanks and God bless u

Now there should be somebody here who knows somebody in celtel that can help reactivate our lines for GPRS,if there is any please,my number is 08026093817.

jflex what do you suggest i do,i'm 3 years on the scheme,but when i checked the verification page my name was not shown,i don't undestand and i've already sent my details.

I'm sure many of us have tried editing the other two APNs on the NEC phones to no luck,its a trick from "3" UK to keep their settings locked in.Now here's what you do: on the home screen, type in the code; *#2634#,don't worry if nothing seems to happen,just go to the network setup menu under settings,then go to APN and there you go you are free to edit your APNs! Now there is a 6th menu item under network set up;i.e GPRS,be careful not to detach your GPRS,this is an advanced option on the phone.enjoy it.having problems? let me know.

Do you mean they've been activated for free browsing cos i know mtn charges for GPRS and so do Glo.where did u get ur gist?

what's this@&!,one minute my lines were unblocked the next minute they are blocked again! who is doing this to me.@feelgood pls help my numbers are blocked again: 08042268117,08043017749.pls help reactivate them so i can also partake of the 100% fun.thanx

@feelgood thanks man,my lines are now active,though i'm yet to see the GPRS thing.Does anyone here use a nec to browse with the mtel sim, pls tell me how you configured your phone.mine is a nec e313 with provisions for: Access Point Name and APN address,so where should i input the mtel settings "apn1.mtel.ng"?

Please can someone tell me the best place where i can repair my monitor at computer village.

well it goes further to show our govt. has misplaced priorities. money meant 4 developing the economy, providing basic amenities like shelter, electricity and roads is being used to place satellite in orbit. what a shame. Nig. should take a cue from. dev. countries

id prefer a hot body to a pretty face cos it turns me on. A sexy voice to go with it would be da bomb.

@feelgood u're a great guy i'll try the lines soon as you're done
