internet using mobile networks instead of wi-Fi
networks, there is need for you to activate mobile data
service on your Android device. Unfortunately, most
Android tablets and phones are unable to accept Over-
The-Air (OTA) 3G/GPRS settings and need to be set up
manually.
Now, I am sharing with you, how you can manually set
up Etisalat, Glo, Airtel and MTN internet settings on your
Android phone or tab, be it Samsung, HTC, LG or
Tecno Android phone. You must know the APN of
Etisalat, Glo, MTN and Airtel for you to be able to
configure your Android for internet.
How Do I configure Internet Settings On my
Android Phone or tab?
==> Tap "Menu" or "Apps"
==> Tap "Settings"
==> Tap "Wireless and Networks" or "More
Settings"
If you tapped "Wireless and Networks", tap "Mobile
Networks"
If you tapped "More Settings", tap "Mobile
Networks" > "Mobile Data"
==> Tap "Access Point names"
==> Press "Menu" (looks like four horizontal lines, a
square within a square or the word Menu)
==> Then select ' New APN'
==> This is where you will enter the specific internet
settings of the mobile network you want to configure on
your Android device.
Now, let me assume you want to configure Glo Mobile
GPRS settings on your Android. Just key in the details
below:
Name: Glo Nigeria
APN: gloflat
Proxy:
Port:
Username: flat
Password: flat
Server:
MMSC:
MMS Proxy:
MMS Port:
MCC:
MNC:
Authentication type:
APN Type:
==> Press "Menu" and select "Save"
==> Press on the grey box or circle to the right of "Glo
Nigeria" and it will fill in with a smaller green dot or tick
mark.
That's all.
NOTE: '..Enable data access over Mobile network' is
ticked.
If you look closely at the settings above, you will notice
that you entered only the Name, APN, Username and
Password while leaving the other parameters
untouched. The four parameters are the main settings
you need to configure to make your android phone or tab
to browse with the mobile network of your choice.
Below are the 3G/GPRS Android Internet Settings for
MTN, Glo. Airtel and Etisalat Nigeria

Assuming you have already purchased or subscribed to a
mobile data plan of your preferred mobile network, you
should be able to connect to the internet after successful
manual configuration of your Android device. You can
restart your phone though.
