Hi all, In the past few days, Vmobile have gotten their act together.
They have announced a date for the end of free WAP/MMS: January 31st 2006 The OTA setup has also started working, so there is no need to do a manual config! To activate Vmobile WAP: send "wapgprs" to 184 To activate Vmobile MMS: send "mmsgprs" to 184 When the settings arrive, select "Yes" to Install them. NOTE: If you are already using your phone to browse on Glo or MTN, you may need to switch to the Vmobile profile first (and turn the phone on and off, depending on your phone) before you can successfully browse. I use one phone to browse on Glo, MTN and Vmobile. Finally, this is probably the last "free" WAP browsing extravaganza left since MTN has joined Glo in charging for WAP browsing... so go for it. On the issue of using your phone as a modem to browse the internet with a pc... only MTN offers it for prepaid subs. It was fun when MTN GPRS was free but now, AND IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE. Glo and (I hear) MTEL offer web browsing only for postpaid subs. Vmobile is silent on it. stay blessed, Adam --- victor tobrise <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > pls can anyone tell me how i can use my glo or mtn sim to > browse the internet using a pc > victor > > AKINSOLA Nurudeen Olusola <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > DO ANYBODY KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO www.nigeriabuyonline.com? > It was a site hosted from Ibadan that sells Dollars on the > net.
