WHAT IS IT?

MTN introduces 3.5G Mobile Broadband, MTN’s high-speed mobile data service. MTN 3.5G Mobile Broadband service opens up a whole new dimension of fast and simple working and harnesses the advantages of mobility, taking internet access in Nigeria to a whole new level. It helps you stay connected at almost any time, and makes your business and personal information and entertainment as mobile as you are, when you're working within MTN’s coverage areas.

With 3.5G Broadband MTN customers will benefit from download data speed up to 4-5 times faster than currently available, offering for the first time a mobile experience that can truly be described as broadband.

Where 3G HSDPA coverage is not available, customers will be able to use MTN’s GPRS/EDGE network that already covers most of Nigeria!

HOW DO I GET?

All new and existing customers’ MTN SIMs are automatically enabled to enjoy 3.5G Mobile Broadband. So you don’t need to do a SIM Swap! All you need to do is to decide which device you want to access the 3.5G data services on, and which data plan you would like to enjoy.
SETTINGS

* Any device you use needs to be configured to use MTN’s Data Network (the same settings apply to GPRS and 3.5G).
* Account Name = MTN GPRS
* IP Address = 10.199.212.2
* Port = 9201 (for WAP) or 8080 (for HTML)
* Username = web
* Password = web
* Access Point Name (APN) = web.gprs.mtnnigeria.net

Not to worry, your MTN-branded USB modem or MTN-branded Data Card is already configured with the above settings. Also, if you currently enjoy browsing using your 3.5G enabled handset on the MTN GPRS network, then chances are that your handset is already configured for MTN Data with the above settings. If you are not sure, then simply text SETTINGS free of charge to 3888 – for all handsets that are manufactured to allow over-the-air updates, you will automatically receive the required settings for your handset. For handsets that cannot be configured in this way (e.g. most Windows-based handsets), you will need to configure the data settings on your handset with the settings information provided above.
