Point of correction Aya, Vmobile doesn't offer GPRS yet, what they have is a CSD connection that is charged at normal voice call rates... |

I didn't say that they do not have CSD. However Vmobile told us that they would be launching their GPRS service in April. Last time I checked, we are in May, hence my comments that they "have been launching GPRS since April". Don't take it literally 
If you have a Vmobile SIM and a handset that can detect GPRS presence on a network, you should notice as you move around that GPRS is available on Vmobile at various locations, but its not attached for use.
Also, about subscriber base and coverage, my statement was not based on what I believe but documented statistics.
@brix25: Honestly, I cannot tell why MTN is lagging behind in this area. But the average Nigerian will readily say that its because they are stingy

@Ambyzown, AYA is right about Vmobile's GPRS presence, infact i noticed it sometime January this year on a friend's Vmobile line on his Sagem Myx-5m set, i almost bought a vmobile line then, before i now went for glo, what i dont know now is why the delay in activating it. |

My apologies Aya, I just turned on GPRS reception on my Vmobile phone and immediately got a signal. Can't wait for them to begin offering this service, I think they'll do better than Glo. However, I still maintain my stance on subscriber base and coverage. I should know, I travel a lot. Did I hear anyone say welcome?

Does anyone have current stats on subscriber base for the gsm companies.
Is there software one can add on to a p910 that will let it run FM radio. I know there is an add on kit. I am wondering about software...
Still not happy with glos GPRS |

Yeah, Hope you stay on Andy.....Meanwhile yours truly just got back from Benin (Had a workshop). The networks there are PATHETIC. The Phone operators keep trying over and over to get a number. And they had to have 3 or more lines -one for each network. I didn't know Abuja was heaven until I got to Benin! Even getting Glo-to-Glo or MTN-to-MTN was near impossible. I let my friend, a Glo regional manager, have it raw. Told him he was disgracing me!  |

Finally, it seems that glo has sorted my gprs access out. Aparrently they put in the wrong settings.
Amby: that was probably why you mms didnt come through. please try again or give me your number.
Mine remains 08055025482...

Thanks all, I already feel very much at home. @coolapostle: The situation in Benin isn't always that bad, usually you'd get thru on the 12th or 13th try. @Egunjespoilagos: 08052036848 I'll resend the mms. Why's Aya so quiet today?

@ambyzown: Why, thank you for the compliment. Glad to be making a difference.
Does anyone here know anyone who works with Mtel? I am looking for a way to get Mtel's GPRS settings.
