Airtel Nigeria is one of Nigeria’s telecommunications giant with a very large user base and broad network connection.
Airtel have over the past months upped their internet speed and also introduced interesting 2G packages with large data volumes.
So imagine that you just got your Airtel Sim and it can’t browse or you currently have that problem of not being able to browse with your Airtel Sim with all the huge data benefits that they offer.
Now you don’t have to miss out on all that anymore as we’d be showing you the steps to request for Airtel internet configuration settings or manually configure your device.
How To Request For Internet Configuration Settings
Although, Airtel Internet settings is automatically configured in your phone once you insert the Airtel Sim into it and you start browsing immediately without needing to do any settings on your phone.
