MTN SOUTH AFRICA
Setting up GPRS/3G
Get connected via your service provider’s service menu; just follow the simple instructions below:
(It helps to know your mobile’s manufacturer and model. Oh and remember, you only have 2 minutes to complete these steps, don’t ask us why!)
1 On your mobile, dial *123#
2 Select option 1 (phone setup) from the menu that follows. (Answer -> 1 -> send)
3 Select option 3 (WAP).
4 Connection settings will be sent to your phone; save these settings.
5 If any of the above mentioned steps fail, simply retry.
6 Still having trouble? Call MTN’s call centre; dial 808 (contract) or 173 (pay as you go) from your mobile phone. Alternatively, visit an MTN outlet near you.
(GPRS/3G can only be activated by the person in whose name the contract was taken out, so some of you might have to get Mom or Dad’s help on this one. Good luck!)
Please post any queries or complaints or observations in this thread regarding MTN.

CELL C NETWORK
Setting up GPRS/3G
Get connected via your service provider’s service menu; just follow the simple instructions below:
With the introduction of our new device management service we have discontinued the “SMS 0841559911 for "settings" service:
Automatic device detection:
Cell C now automatically provisioning and sends settings to new devices added to our network. Whenever a customer connects to our network for the first time or changes their cellphone, Cell C will automatically detect this occurrence, send the customer the GPRS and MMS settings for their cellphone and provision them for GPRS and MMS.
Customers do not need to do anything but save the received settings and then switch off their cellphone and turn it on again after a few seconds.
Manual settings and provisioning request:
Complimenting the above we have also added a manual request feature. Customers can now request settings for their cell phone at any time by simply dialing *147# (star147hash). This service performs the following actions:
• confirms the settings request
• delivers the required GPRS settings
• delivers the required MMS settings
• provisions the customer for both GPRS and MMS on our network
After requesting the settings all customers have to do is to save the settings they receive and then switch off their cellphone and turn it on again after a few seconds.
Cell C’s device manager service supports most cellphones and new cellphones are continually being added. Where a cellphone is not supported, the requesting customer will receive an SMS message detailing this and will be directed to Cell C’s call centre (140).
Should a system error occur during the provisioning process, the requesting customer will receive an SMS message informing them of the problem and requesting that they contact the Cell C’s call centre (140).
Please post any queries or complaints or observations in this thread regarding Cell C.
