airtel Internet settings
To have access to the internet on your mobile phones and tablets or other data enabled devices, you will have to ensure your
APNsettings are configured correctly on the Airtel 3.75G network.
APN simply means
Access Point Name.This
is a requirement on the network for all data users. It is your gateway
to accessing the web on the Airtel Network. Our APN is
internet.ng.airtel.com.If your phone/device has no APN settings or incorrect APN settings, you would be unableto access the web.
Typically,
once you insert the Airtel SIM, the settings are automatically
configured. However, a need to configure manually might occur. This
varies from device to device.
