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 Internet settings. Depending on the mobile operator, the parameters required to connect to the Global Web may differ. In this article, we will look at how the mobile Internet is configured on the Megafon number. Please note that the names of the sections of the operating system and the names of the parameters may differ in each of the available operating systems ("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. Check them out below:
- The Internet service must be connected to the SIM card. Defaultit is activated on all numbers and is basic, along with voice communication services. However, the subscriber can control it by connecting and disconnecting at any time.
- On a mobile device, be it a tablet PC or a smartphone, settings must be registered, namely, an access point. Previously, 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. Currently, on modern devices, configuration is carried out automatically when registering a SIM card in the operator's network.
- Mobile data must be enabled on your phone. By default, this function is disabled - thus, users of mobile gadgets are protected from an arbitrary connection to the Internet, for example, to download an update for applications.
Step 1. Connect the Internet service
If the SIM card was purchased relatively recently and no manipulations were performed with it (for example, turning off the Internet at the SIM card level), then this step can be skipped. Otherwise, before setting up the mobile Internet on the Megafon number, you should activate it. You can do this by dialing a simple request 105360. The same command can also 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. Set up your mobileInternet "Megafon" to "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 the automatic mode failed to resolve the issue with the Internet parameters, then you should enter the data manually.
For devices running on the Android platform, you should perform the following sequence of actions to configure the settings:
- go to the section with general system settings (as a rule, this menu item has a gear icon);
- press the "More" button to open an additional parameter branch;
- find the "Mobile network" section 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, the settings of the mobile Internet "MegaFon" (for iPhone) are also required. This setup should default to the network, automatically. To enter parameters manually, follow:
- go to the device menu by selecting the "Cellular" section;
- then select "Voice and Data";
- then select in the list of sections and switch to 2G/3G/LTE.
Parameters that should be contained in the settings of mobile gadgets
Access Point (APN) –internet.
Network type – default.
Mnc - 02.
Mcc - 250.
Your username and password can be left blank if your mobile device allows it. In the event that the device does not accept empty values and issues appropriate warnings, then one value should be written in both fields - gdata.
These settings are universal for all types of mobile devices (smartphone, tablet PC), regardless of the platforms they operate on.
Mobile data activation
So, after the mobile Internet was set up 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 operation of the Internet. To do this, you first need to 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 if you can connect to the Network.
Conclusion
In this article, we examined how the mobile Internet is set up on the Megafon number. In the event that after installing a SIM card in the slot of a mobile gadget, the Internet works without additional manipulations,then it is not necessary to perform the steps described earlier. Otherwise, manual configuration must be performed. Please note that if problems are identified and it is impossible to connect to the Network, you should make sure that the appropriate settings have been made, the Internet service has been activated on the number, mobile data has been activated, and the balance has the amount necessary to establish a connection. With a negative balance, 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 credit of trust is not valid).
