All mobile Internet users know that inserting a SIM card into the gadget slot is not enough to access the Internet. There is such a thing as settings for the Internet. Depending on the mobile operator, the parameters required to connect to the Global Web may vary. In this article we will look at how mobile Internet is configured on the Megafon number. Please note that the names of the sections of the operating system and the names of parameters may differ in each of the available OS (Windows, Android and iOS).
Megafon Mobile Internet Settings: General Description
In order for the subscriber’s gadget to be able to connect to the Internet, the following conditions must be met. Consider them below:
- The Internet service must be connected on the SIM card. By default, it is activated on all rooms and is basic, along with voice services. However, the subscriber can control it by connecting and disconnecting at any time.
- On a mobile device, whether it be a tablet PC or a smartphone, the settings must be registered, namely, the access point. Earlier, it was possible to get mobile Internet settings (Megafon and any other operators) through a contact center or an automatic system. They were sent via text message, and the user could simply save them. At the moment, on modern devices, the configuration is carried out automatically, when registering a SIM card in the operator’s network.
- Mobile data must be enabled on the phone. By default, this feature is disabled - thus, users of mobile gadgets are protected from arbitrary connection to the Internet, for example, to download updates for applications.
Step 1. Connect the Internet service
If a SIM card was purchased relatively recently and no manipulations were made (for example, turning off the Internet at the SIM card level), then this step can be skipped. Otherwise, before the Mobile Internet is configured on the Megafon number, you must activate it. You can do this by typing a simple request * 105 * 360 #. The same command can be used to disable the service. After entering the request, the system will send a text message to the subscriber with the results of the operation.
Step 2. Configuring Megafon mobile Internet on Android
As mentioned earlier, setting up on modern smartphones and tablets is done automatically, at the moment when the SIM card is registered in the operator’s network. In the event that in the automatic mode it was not possible to solve the issue with the Internet parameters, then you must enter the data manually.
For devices running on the Android platform, the following sequence of actions should be performed to configure the settings:
- go to the section with general system settings (as a rule, this menu item has a gear icon);
- click the "More" button to open an additional parameter branch;
- find the section "Mobile network" in the list;
- in the form that opens, select "Wireless Internet Settings", and then go to the "Mobile Network (Internet)" section.
Mobile Internet Settings for iPhone
For owners of "apple" devices, Megafon mobile Internet settings (for iPhone) are also required. This setting should by default be done over the network automatically. To enter parameters manually:
- go to the menu of the device by selecting the "Cellular" section;
- then select “Voice and data”;
- then in the list of sections select and go to 2G / 3G / LTE.
Settings that should be contained in the settings of mobile gadgets
Access Point ( APN ) - internet.
The network type is default.
Mnc - 02.
Mcc - 250.
Username and password can be left blank - if this allows you to make a mobile device. In the event that the device does not accept null values ​​and issues appropriate warnings, then one value should be entered in both fields - gdata.
These settings are universal for all types of mobile devices (smartphone, tablet PC), regardless of the platforms on which they operate.
Mobile data activation
So, after the mobile Internet was configured on the Megafon number, and the subscriber made sure that the service itself, which provides access to the Global Network, is connected, you should test the Internet. To do this, you must first go to the settings, as a rule, in modern devices, the Mobile Data parameter can be found on the quick settings panel, which becomes available if you swipe down from the top of the screen. Here you need to enable mobile data. After that, you can go to any browser or other application that works via the Internet, and check whether you can establish a connection to the Network.
Conclusion
In this article, we examined how the mobile Internet is configured on the Megafon number. In the event that, after installing the SIM card in the slot of the mobile gadget, the Internet works without additional manipulations, then it is not necessary to perform the steps described above. Otherwise, manual tuning is required. Please note that if problems are found and it is impossible to connect to the Network, you must make sure that the appropriate settings are made, the Internet service is connected to the number, mobile data is activated, and there is an amount on the balance necessary to establish the connection. If the balance is negative, you will not be able to use the Internet, even if you have an unlimited option (unless, of course, you have the promised payment connected or the trust credit is not valid ).
