It can be quite difficult to configure your Windows Mobile 6.1 or 6.0 phone to work with the MTN GPRS or MTN Internet network here in Nigeria.

But... I have figured it out now, and it is even simpler than expected...

All you need to do is;

• Add a Connection named MTN. 
• Make sure the modem is of the GPRS type
• Use the access point name: web.gprs.mtnnigeria.net
• Username and password are web and web. 
• All other settings are to be left on the default values. 

Do NOT use any proxy settings, there are some websites that advice you to do so, but I have not been able to make any connection when the proxy is active.

UMTS / 3.5G / EGDE / HSPA
Some people have requested for additional information to enable 3.5G or EDGE / UMTS speed settings. But with MTN this is very easy; those settings are identical. Your phone will go for the best connection possible the moment you enter into a zone with high speed network coverage. The moment when I enter into the Lagos / LEKI area my phone switches over to 3G network. Enabling me to use video converstations, etc. The internet speed is also a lot faster, browsing on my relative small screen is almost like at home in the Netherlands! 

The MMS settings were also requested, so please find them here below;

Set your account or profile name to MTN MMS;
