@smol: Is your Glo SIM already provisioned/activated for GPRS? If not, you need to call customer care or visit a GloWorld to have it done and have the settings sent to your phone via SMS.
If it already is, all you need is to create a data account with the proper settings. The WAP over GPRS settings for Glo are available on my blog at http://www.yomisays.com/?page_id=835.

@Smol: welcome to the place to be,you won't regret the cruise!
As you're using a p1,it should be best to send "ACTIVATION" on sms to 333.Then you'll get a 3G-Glo direct setting as I'm not sure p1 can be configured for WAP
@OluYom:Please whats with the Celtel GPRS?I was off coverage for some time but when I got back to Lagos,January,I found out there.s no more GPRS signal on my phone. Any tips and tricks will be welcome.Sorry,I could have given you a shoulder to cry on over the Data wahala,but you see,I'm crying too(sniff sniff)!

Welcome aboard smol, hope u'll enjoy it here as much as I do.
@Ifedsky: welcome back. while you were away, Celtel de-provisioned all pre-paid subscribers from their gprs network as soon as they upgraded their billing software. (Their previous platform installed during the Econet era could not handle data, hence the freebie for so long) Requesting for fresh OTA is the only way to get gprs again, but then, you only get wap on pre-paid and you are billed 10k/kb.
@Oluyom: I'm in Benin City, Edo State and I'm on celtel 90 a post paid package that offers me unlimited gprs for a monthly fee of N10,000 |

@amby... Is it right to assume celtel gprs is nationwide now?

@Smol: You send "Activate" to 444 NOT 333!
@ Ifedisky: I don't know how if they still do OTA provisioning via text but they do via their website: http://196.46.240.47:8806/fro[....]e.view;jsessionid=aIx-Q4GAT8D9

@234hay:Thanks man. I just got hooked back to Celtel GPRS without fuss. Took less than three minutes on their website which had a wide collection of configurable new handsets unlike the MTN website that has p900 as the latest of the sony ericsson p series.

@amby: can you confirm that Celtel GPRS is no longer generally restricted to a few locations? Are you able to browser ANYWHERE Celtel has coverage?
What are the requirements to get on Celtel 90?
Thanks.
@ife: If its a postpaid line, the only way you are likely to get the settings is by taking up a contract.

@O'Yom: I can verify that gprs coverage in Delta is not complete. Warri, Abraka and environs don't have coverage. pxt may shed more light about his area.
Some info about Celtel packages:

A few months back, I considered switching to Celtel Postpaid because of the cheap data tariff. I changed my mind after I observed that the tariff for voice calls is damn too expensive relative to Glo. See comparison:
Celtel 90: On net calls ...40k/sec; Off net calls...50k/sec
Data rate: 10k/kb
Monthly Access: N2,000.
Glo optimiser: On net Call...25k/sec; Off net calls...37k/sec
Data rate: 35k/kb
Monthly Access: N1,250.
A heavy data user may overlook celtel voice tariff and only sweat out the monthly access fee, but for a light data user like me(with operamini on my side  ) glo remains attractive.
Besides, there is still the coverage issue.

Coverage is still a problem with celtel gprs, not all cities are covered. Its convenient for me to use celtel because my base is covered, but it might not be suitable for some other person.
@Oluyom: Prerequisites for Celtel90 are similar to any post-paid package, but you get to choose your credit limit yourself, which is then vetted and either approved or reduced. You need to sign up for the unlimited data package separately though. |
