Manually Configure All Africa Network Browsing

       

Some of my friends call me anytime they request for internet settings from their service provider and it doesn’t work and they are to send it to customer care offices of their network for the internet settings to be configured for them. To spare you guys calling over and over again wasting credits, I created this blog to help you manually configure your own internet settings.

First 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.
