I have called their customer service centre quite a number of time and I receive the same response that I cant browse with my vmobile. No manual or automatic configuration can work. I tried the same phone on MTN with the settings I have and it worked perfectly. So at present you cant on vmobile

  27. I’m soo surprise Celtel is as bad as this to the extent that most people complain about the WAP/GPRS…
    I do make use of mine on my k300i with 08028732106 as my no but since acquisition of vmobile by celtel, it has never browse for once…
    Soo bad, people will just switch over to better networks…

  28. My phone do browse before when I was on Vmobile but since inception of celtel, it has always been the opposite.
    More improvement is needed as people are getting fed up!
    If no improvement, most people might switch over to better network!

    Why dont’t you guys past the manual configuration on your website just as MTN did theirs!!!

    Thanks for your co-operation.
    Your forever.

  33. I think I still have the problem of setrting up my MMS messaging. I have searched MTN website to get the manual for it. Please can anyone help me.

  34. ever since celtel took over d network services we all had from vmobile reduced.especially the gprs stuff.now most people ve been cut off from the gprs service my suggestion is that they should give the settings back to people then if one doesnt have a minimum of 200naira he shouldnt be able to access gprs then the amount should last for like 3weeks if after 3weeks no recharge he should also be cut off until after rechargin again and they should soon introduce their own free call d 6 free text stil ok but d gprs must improve just by usin d style i told them and they ll see more customers returnin

  35. fristly you people are gooding a great job, my problem is that my phone stoped connect last week monday and i have try call u people to help me connect back i need so much my No is 08080642733 i will be happey if you people can connect me back

  37. Hi. pls i wud like to know how else i cud get gprs settings for my fone, a sendo x. sendo,s website is currently off the map, and celtel(vmobile)have not replied to all my requests. They talk about their upgrading crap(sorry to say), but still send it to some people. pls i need to get my phone to work, even if for a minute. my number is 08029149751

  38. Dear Service provider,

    Long ago i have the notion that vmobile is the only caring com. provider we have in Nigeria, not until when Celtel took over the masses-loving movement, 12 free sms to 6, No more gprs browsing, kindly let me no if we are still going to have gprs on celtel line in Nigeria any longer.

  41. I KNOW QUITE WELL THAT CELTEL IS DOING A GREAT JOB OUT THERE AND I KNOW SOME OTHER SUBSCRIBERS MAY HAVE ACCESS TO THEIR GPRS ON CELTEL PROBABLY BCOS OF THEIR PHONE SETTINGS, I GUESS?
