HOW TO CONFIGURE ANDROID PHONE MANUALLY FOR INTERNET

If you prefer to connect your Android phone or tab to the 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 of the Android tablets and phones are unable to accept Over-The-Air (OTA) 3G/GPRS settings and need to be setup manually.
Today,I am sharing with you guys,how you can manually setup Etisalat,Glo,Airtel and MTN internet settings on your Android phone or tab like Samsung,HTC,LG or Tecno Android phone. You must know the APN i.e Access Point Name of Etisalat,Glo,MTN and Airtel for you to
be able to configure your Android for internet.

your Android device.

Then 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.

  1. Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a
    sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put
    the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell
    someone!
