How To Browse The Internet for Free On Your Android Phone

8:00 AM | Labels: , , , , , ,

Its not news that people are always looking for ways to browse for free on their Android devices given that exploitation from the telecoms are on the increase and always looking for ways to shell out cash form the customers pocket.

Well, there is a way to keep at least some part of these cash inside our pocket and that is with the help of droidvpn and it works with most networks (etisalat, airtel, glo and most importantly mtn).

Note 1: this has been tested on a SIM with active mtn bis and works fine. Therefore am to believe that it should work for other networks.

Procedures
1. Go to www.droidvpn.com and sign up, very easy.

2. Go to your email account you used to register droidvpn and click on the link to activate it

3. Go to Google Play Store and Download Droidvpn to your device.

4. Now launch Droidvpn you just downloaded, put your email and password and click on Save my login details

5. Go to Settings at the top right corner

6. Click on Connection Protocol and select UDP


7. Click on Port Settings and select Set UDP Port, enter 500

If UDP port doesn't work for you, select ICMP port instead of UDP port. This is because UDP port seem to be blocked. This was pointed out by my guy guy Kosi Afuba.

8. If your MTN bis is active and the APN is at Blackberry.net you would have no problem.

9. Start your free browsing by clicking on the ON button shown in the first image above.

You have at least 100mb data per day.

Please drop comments if this works for you and let's know the network it worked for and the protocol you used. If you have any problem, you can drop them as comment and I will try to respond to them. Please let your questions be more detailed.

Like icing on a cake to give more flavour, so also Airtel have decided to throw in more goodies to those that would swap their old phone for the Nokia Lumia 520 as detailed below.

After swapping, you are entitled to N10,000 worth of gift. This gift is broken down to 3 parts.

Finally, N3000 worth of Internet data would be given to you so that you can surf the Internet non-stop for 6 months. 

According to the Chief Sales Officer for Airtel Nigeria, Inusa Bello, this "initiative is another first by any Telecoms operator in Nigeria".

Boxing Day After Christmas
After successfully receiving your new Nokia Lumia 520, you are to send some messages to Airtel to activate your free data and credit. This is detailed below.

1. Text SMART to 141 to activate the free 500mb for 6 months. A Recharge of N1000 minimum is needed to activate the package. 

2. Text UPGRADE to 141 to activate the free N3000 worth of airtime for 6 months
