configure ur phone

For you to be able to
enjoy internet
services on your
mobile phone, it is
quite essential for
you to configure your mobile
phone
with the internet settings of
the
mobile network you wish to be
surfing with.
Before you can
browse the internet,
your
phone,
must
at
least
be
WAP
ENABLED.
If
you check through the MENU of
your phone and you see a WEB
or
WAP browser, then you should
be
able to surf the internet with it.
You can configure your mobile
phone by texting SMS command
to
a special number provided by
the
operator you want to use in
connecting to the internet. If
your
phone can be configured
automatically, within a few
minutes
of sending the text message,
you
will receive messages from the
operator which will contain the
internet settings. All you just
have
to do is to SAVE the settings.
If your phone cannot be
automatically configured, the
operator will notify you through
a
text message. In this case, you
will
have to configure your phone
manually. If you cannot
configure
it manually, you can either call
the
customer care of your operator
or
you visit the nearby office of
the
operator and it will be done for
you.
The different ways by which
you
can activate and manually
configure your mobile phone to
surf
the internet using MTN,

ZAIN, GLOBACOM and ETISALAT
