Posted by I have been working behind the scenes on a concise guide to mobile internet in Nigeria. Nigeria is one of the fastest growing mobile voice and internet countries in the world. This free ebook provides concise but useful information about the available GSM-based mobile internet services in the country.

Founder of MobilityArena. Yomi’s journey in mobile started in 2001. Besides obsessing over mobile phones, he also started creating WAP sites (early mobile-friendly websites created with WML). He began writing about phones in 2004 and has been at it since then. He has owned over 200 devices, from Symbian, Palm, PocketPC/Windows Mobile, BlackBerry/BB10, webOS, Windows Phone, Firefox, Ubuntu Touch, to Android, iOS, and KaiOS operating systems.
That looks very useful and should come in handy when next I’m in Nigeria. Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback, AL. Hope you find it useful. Let me know if there’s any other info you’d like to see in any revised versions.
Your tip on zain proxy setting helped me to finally start browsing by tethering my phone to my PC.
But I couldn’t do any ftp stuff. Is it not supported or does it require some settings also.
Thanks a lot, keep up the good work.
I have had several times about dis web hosting connection Pls i need 2 know more how do i pay
IG, I don’t recall including anything on Zain proxy in my guide. However, if you are using Zain internet (not WAP), you should be able to do FTP without issues. WAP access does not allow FTP.
Kalu, what web hosting connection?
Hello Mr. Yomi,

@Saheed,
We are not aware of any official free browsing settings for MTN/Zain and don’t have such settings.
When the networks do make them available we will let you know. So keeping reading MobiNaija.
