wrote the first post on how to manually
configure Mtn Ghana internet
settings on your phone but it seems not everybody got
it clear. I am making it clearer for you today so you can be able to configure
your Mtn internet settings on your phone. It doesn’t take a tech savvy to be
able to do this. All you need is to understand the language of your
phone(mostly in English ) and following the steps I am about to show.
Always make sure you have enough credits on
your phone before attempting this. This is to ensure you get internet access on
your phone when you’ve done the settings correctly. If you don’t have credits
on your phone and even if you’ve done the settings correctly, you wouldn’t be
able to access the internet and you might think the settings didn’t work.
The default way of configuring Mtn internet
access on your phone is to dial *686# (or send a blank text to 686) and send.
Wait for the response and if you phone can be configured automatically, you
would receive a message and just follow the instructions you received in the
message.
To those whose phones can’t be configured
automatically, here are the settings
