How to Activate 100Mb Of Internet Access With #1000:00

In my previous article I did write about cheap internet browsing in town that will allow you have access to the internet for 30 days with a limitation of 100mgb.Yes with zain and etisalat offering that data plan you can enjoy internet access with ease.
In that article I only talk about it but I did not show you how to activate it to start enjoying it and this is I what I intend doing now just follow this instruction and you will be able to enjoy the cheap internet access in town.

Before you can have access to this service you must ensure that your mobile phone has been configure to browse the internet and if you have yet not configure your mobile phone which I expect to be a nokia mobile phone because it is the one suitable for this connection please do browse through this blog to find my previous article on how to configure your mobile phone to browse the internet,this will help you to configure your mobile phone and if that is done then you need to also configure your laptop or desktop as well. And if all of that is done then depending on the network operator you choose they have different way of activating their data plan and to start with is zain.

To activate zain 100mgb of #1000:00 you will load a credit of #1000:00 on your zain line then type *141*712*4# on your mobile phone and send. You will receive a message welcoming you to 100mgb data plan for 30 days. please do note that if you do not send this code and you have load #1000 on your mobile phone and you just connect like that your money will quickly be exhausted within a short time so in order not to experience this you must ensure that you activate the data plan by sending the code. To check balance of data usage just type *141*712*0# and send the balance will be sent to you immediately.
Same also apply with Etisalat you must load #1000:00 on your mobile phone and call customer care of etisalat on 200 to tell them of your intention to use their 100mgb(mega byte) of their data plan and they will activate it for you on the line you want to use. Do note that etisalat will want you to buy their USB modem and their Data sim which cost #14700:00 to get but you can use your normal sim forget about what they tell you that it will not work. It has been tested to be working just tell them to activate it for you, but if you can afford their USB modem then go for it it will serve you better. It is just that with mobile phone when you are not browsing on your laptop or desktop you can still take it to where you go and still be able to browse on your mobile phone with the same 100mgb.
So which ever one you choose to use they will serve you better. To check your data usage send *232# or call customer care on 200 and your balance will be communicated to you. for more on etisalat visit here

CHEAP INTERNET BROWSING IN TOWN

Internet service in Nigeria is becoming more flexible as the gsm operators are churning out different internet subscription plan for their subscriber.

When Mtn comes out with #500:00 for 24hours browsing one would have thought that is the best and cheapest but with the introduction of #1000:00 package with a month access by Zain it is just one of the flexible internet access for personal use.

So with #1000:00 one can have 1 month access to the internet but with the limitation of 100Mb which I still believe is a package any one could afford and use.

Also Etisalat just join zain in the provision of 100mb for #1000:00 as well making it even more flexible to choose between the internet service provider that is better and that I see as a good competition.

So if you are bothering your head on how to get access to the internet at home I think you should go for these as they are tested to be okay if you know how to manage it well.

Don't bother yourself till you have like between #15,000-20,000:00 before you can have access to the internet because it is now easy to have internet access and browse the internet with #1000:00 naira only.

The requirement to have access to the internet at home , on your laptop or desktop are as follows:
A nokia mobile phone e.g Nokia 6230, 3110c etc
A data cable or bluetooth dongle
Nokia pc suite software
And the configuration of all of this to work for you on your laptop or desktop.


If you need the configuration of your laptop or desktop to browse the internet then call me on this number 08027858880 or email me on solabblogatgmail.com
