With all these negative remarks about MTN's gprs so far, you will all agree with me that glo's gprs deployment was far better...and to believe that glo accomplished this on their first anniversary! |

@brym!: I agree. It does seem that Glo had a better implementation. As I have said before, this wasn't something MTN deliberately planned for. They were left with no choice, since ALL other GSM operators had implemented GPRS. Its more a "Fire Brigade" approach, IMO.

@all, we can't really compare the 2 (MTN & glo) for now cos MTN is still in the beta stages & is still free..
i guess they're still working on it & would improve..
i just hope glo will open up the glodirect internet service to prepaid subs too.. or else they'll be loosing to MTN soon.. |

@mamba: But we can! When Glo was in its beta/free stage, it was way more reliable than this. I remember using Glo GPRS for about a month before it was announced and for more months it ran free. Fact: MTN did a rushed job in order to play catch-up. Same thing when MTN introduced per second billing in response to Glo & Vmobile. The MTN network almost collapsed. It wasn't planned for; but they had to save face.

I expect too that if MTN keeps full internet access open to prepaid subs, Glo will now be compelled to follow suite. But it is to be expected that tariffs for prepaid will be higher though.

We certainly do have an advantage here at Esato, most info concerning GSM telephony gets posted here long before it hits the airwaves. I've learnt so much here. Thanks to every poster here especially Aya.
@Demmy: this forum will be a year old next month, what are your plans for the next year?

Please who knows the best wireless landline provider to use for a business centre, Starcomms, Intercellular, Reltel, etc, the cost of buying each and their tariffs. |

Its difficult to copy and paste from a Nokia 9500  But the settings are available at GoSmartMobile as usual. Check under "Mobile Data Info"
By the way, peeps, with regards MTN GPRS settings, wherever you have 8080 listed as the port and it doesn't work on your phone, change that port number to 9201. Some phones are not advanced enough to handle 8080 as I discovered recently. 8080 won't work on some Siemens, for example, but 9201 gets the job done just fine.
Let me know if that helps in any way.

Correction: MTN GPRS still very unstable. Keeps saying 'Network busy'.

@AYA: longest time. I see we hav many new brothers on esato now. MTN has failed to impress me wit dis their NEPA kind of GPRS service. Is dis how they intend to woo people into their network?
