Absolutely any smartphone that can be called modern with at least a stretch supports connection to a 3G network. Some even support the 4G standard, but so far this network is not very developed. In Ukraine, it does not exist at all today, so 3G is the most relevant Internet communication standard. In order to use it, you need to be able to configure the service. We’ll talk about this today.
Internet setup from Kyivstar does not take much time and does not require much effort. Most often, nothing is required from the user at all, but first things first.
Automatic Internet setup from Kyivstar
After purchasing the starter pack and its activation (usually for this you need to replenish it by a certain amount, although it sometimes happens that even replenishment is not required), the Internet is automatically available to the user. That is, the settings come to the smartphone automatically, they are installed and activated themselves.
We call the operator
If, after activating the starter pack, the Network is unavailable, then Internet configuration from Kyivstar to Android should be done using an operator. To do this, you need to call the operator and in tone mode go to a direct conversation with him. However, sometimes Internet settings from Kyivstar can be ordered even in tone mode. At least this could have been done before.
In telephone mode, it’s worth explaining to the operator that the Internet is not working and asking him to send automatic settings. He will ask the smartphone model and send the settings. After you are required to accept them. On this, the Internet configuration from Kyivstar will be completed, and you will be free to access the Network. If now it is not available, then go to the next step.
Manual Internet settings from Kyivstar
First of all, we find the cellular settings of the smartphone. For access to the Internet, the "Data Transfer" function is responsible. It must be running (that is, the toggle switch must be active). Now you need to create a profile with manual settings. Depending on the model, the procedure described below may vary. But most often it looks like this:
- Go to "Menu" - "Settings" - "Communication" - "Internet Settings" - "Profiles" - "Create a new profile."
- Now it is very important to fill in the fields in the new profile, as described below. In the "Name" field, Kyivstar WAP A&B (without quotes) must be entered.
- In the "Access Point" profile, specify wap.ab.kyivstar.net.
- If any other fields remain, then we leave them unchanged at all.
- Save the profile. Now there is a new account with Internet settings.
Next, select the created profile as the main one for the settings. It will be used to transfer data to the Internet. If there is still no access, then you can try restarting the smartphone. This helps, since often only after a reboot do the new settings take effect. This is true not only for phones, but even for computers. On this, the Internet setup from Kyivstar is completed, and now you can take full advantage of all the benefits of the Web.
If nothing happens anyway
Usually the two above methods of setting up Internet from Kyivstar are enough. But sometimes users cannot connect to the Web even after the operations are done. In this case, you can recommend deleting the available data transfer profiles and again ask the operator for automatic settings. A conflict between automatic and manual settings is quite likely (if manual ones were entered and ordered automatic).
Also try setting up the Internet manually again, but very carefully verify that the characters you entered are correct. One wrong sign, and there will be no access at all. If again nothing comes out, then call the operator again and ask him to explain the procedure for setting up the Internet from Kyivstar on the phone for your particular model. Well, better - go to the salon of this operator. Merchants are often involved in helping users configure access to the Web.
Even if they can’t cope, it means that the problem is in the hardware or software of the smartphone. If the phone is new, then return it under warranty back to the seller. And you can try to reflash an old phone that cannot be returned to anyone. Many smartphones will only connect to the Internet after flashing, but this is difficult to do. Not everyone can correctly reflash the phone, so you should look for a good service by reviews.
