The times when the Internet was available only to a few, and its speed and price left much to be desired, are long gone. Today, every person can, regardless of the services of which operator cellular communication he enjoys. Mobile providers provide their customers with the ability to access the Internet through network modes such as EDGE, 3G or 4G. A wide variety of tariff plans and special options allow the subscriber to choose the most optimal offer for himself. Despite the fact that today the Internet is available to all segments of the population, many still do not know how to set up the Internet on their phone.
In principle, no settings as such need to be made. Operators made sure that everything took place in automatic mode with minimal user involvement. As a rule, the operator sends automatic settings on the phone immediately after the first launch. That is, if you bought a new phone or a SIM card, then after turning on the device, after a while, you will receive an SMS with automatic settings. Moreover, sometimes accessing the Internet from the phone is possible without accepting these settings. If this did not happen in your case, which is also possible, then you need to order GPRS settings. The methods that allow you to get settings for the Internet will differ depending on which operator you use. Below we provide instructions for setting up the Internet on MTS, Beeline and Megafon phones. These are the most popular operators in Russia and most Russians use their services, so they are included in our review. If you have another provider, then you can get the necessary information on the official website of the operator.
How to set up the Internet on your phone - detailed instructions

So, let's consider the process of setting up the Internet using the example of the most popular mobile operators in Russia.
Setting up the Internet on MTS
If, after installing the SIM card and turning on the phone, it was not possible to wait for the automatic settings, and you can’t connect to the Internet, then you need to order the settings yourself. It is quite simple to do this, just send an empty SMS to 1234, after which several service SMS with Internet settings will be sent to your phone. In addition, you can order settings on the MTS website in the "Help and Service" section. You can use the same way.

If the service is not connected, then this factor may be the reason for the inability to access the Internet. The service is activated using a USSD request: *110*181#. If the "Package of three services" is connected, then order automatic settings by calling 0117. You can also order settings by calling 0611. Again, you can ask him to send settings for the Internet, but in this case you will have to spend time waiting for a specialist to answer.

- On some phone models, the above steps are not required, you just need to order a message from the operator to connect to the Internet.
Connecting via Wi-Fi
You can access the Internet on your phone not through mobile data, but through Wi-Fi. To connect the worldwide network in this way on the Android operating system, use the following instructions.
- Unlock the device, go to the main menu.
- In the list of icons or in the curtain operating system find "Settings" (often this item is denoted by a gear symbol), make the transition.
- You will see a list of customizable items, find the line "Wi-Fi" and go to the submenu.
- In older versions of the Android operating network, you first need to go to " Wireless networks”, and then select “Wi-Fi Settings”.
- If a wifi router enabled, all available connections will be displayed immediately.
- If the adapter is disabled, the system will prompt you to enable the Wi-Fi module to view available networks.
- Select the desired network from the list.
- In the dialog box that appears, enter the access password.
- If you accidentally entered incorrect data, then click on the network name again, select "Forget" and re-enter the authentication parameters to connect to the Internet.
There have been no problems with setting up Internet access for a long time, since in 99.99% of cases it is configured automatically. But some subscribers have some difficulties with this. You can set up the Internet on your phone, if it does not see automatic settings, you can manually - by specifying the access point and other necessary data. We'll show you how.
Usually, the setup process looks like this - we install a SIM card in a smartphone, and it automatically configures itself for the desired operator. This is exactly what happens on all normal phones, if they are not made in a handicraft way in Chinese basements (does not apply to handsets more or less famous brands). And some Russian operators, after inserting a SIM card into the phone, immediately send all the necessary settings in the form of service messages.
It is also possible to order automatic mobile Internet settings forcibly:
- MTS - go to this page, indicate the number and click the "Send" button;
- MegaFon - automatic order does not work. Previously, you had to send the number "1" (without quotes) to 5049;
- Beeline - just call 06503;
- Tele2 - call the service number 679.
On MegaFon, only manual configuration is possible if the phone refuses to configure itself when a SIM card is installed.
Manual configuration of smartphones involves self-entry of connection parameters. Modern tubes are set up as easy as shelling pears, in models of early years of production there are more necessary parameters. Their names may differ, but in general it is relatively easy to understand. Setting up push-button phones is completely individual for each manufacturer - it's easier to order automatic setup, and if it doesn't help, set the profile manually using the settings for smartphones.
The most important parameters:
- Profile name - can be anything, but it is better to name it appropriately, for example, "Beeline Internet" (hereinafter, we omit all quotes);
- APN - depends on the operator;
- Username and password - depend on the operator;
- APN type - not available on some handsets;
- The protocol is another mandatory item in some models.
The remaining items are most often not used.

In the future, the phone will connect to the selected access point automatically as soon as it appears in its coverage area.
Hello, dear subscribers and guests of my blog! In today's issue, I will tell you about the features of setting up the Internet on a mobile phone. A mobile phone is the very first improvised computer tool with which a person can access the Internet.
In order to be able to be online in social networks, read news, use a navigator or check mail, you need to set up an Internet connection on your phone. Not everyone knows how to properly set up the Internet on their phone. Internet setup is divided into two types: automatic and manual. In this article, we will consider all possible options for connecting a mobile device to the Internet.
How to set up the Internet on the phone automatically?
One of the simplest and quick ways connecting the phone to the Internet is an order for the automatic configuration service from your mobile operator. The option to receive settings for accessing the Internet is free for all available Russian operators, and does not depend on the connected tariff plan. To receive automatic settings, you need to call from mobile phone to the call center, and then leave the appropriate application. After some time, the phone will receive automatic settings for the Internet, and the user will need to agree with their installation. To do this, open the message, and then select the "Set Settings" button. This method is one of the most popular to connect your phone to the Internet.
There are cases when, after receiving automatic settings on the phone, the device cannot access the network. In this situation, you will need to perform the following manipulations:
- Make sure that the appropriate tariff for Internet access has been connected.
- make sure it's available Money on your mobile account.
- Make sure that the settings have been installed on the phone, for which you definitely need to click on the "Set settings" button.
- Reboot the device.
Most Android phone models may not support the automatic configuration option for mobile operators. A number of such operators include: MTS, Life and Beeline. If, nevertheless, your device does not connect to the network, then you will need to create the settings yourself. To do this, you need to order settings from your mobile operator, for which you visit the official website from a computer, fill in the required fields and send the settings to your phone. There is also a way to use short numbers, which you need to dial from a mobile phone that you want to connect to the Internet.
For Life operator: dial *123*6#. You can also send an SMS to number 123 with the text "INTERNET".
For Beeline operator: you need to dial the command *110*181#.
For the Megafon operator: you need to send an SMS with the number "1" to the number 5049.
For MTS operator: visit the official website or follow the link http://www.mts.ua/ru/online-services/settings#settings-auto. Thus, the 3G service will be connected.
It's important to know! Many users receive the settings automatically on their phone after the first SIM card connection.

Summing up today's article "how to set up the Internet on your phone", it remains to add that to access the Internet you will also need to use a special browser that has the same names as for computers. When you open the browser, the home page should automatically load, which indicates the presence of mobile Internet. If there is no Internet, make sure that the phone "catches" the network.
Almost all Android devices can connect to the Internet using the resources of a cellular operator. For a full connection, you need to properly configure your smartphone. Most often, the settings are carried out in automatic mode, but in some cases it is necessary to resort to manual. In this article, we will consider both cases.
Automatic Internet Setup
For automatic configuration, it is enough that a SIM card is inserted into your smartphone, the appropriate tariff plan is selected and paid.
After turning on the phone, it independently sends a request to the mobile operator and in response you receive an SMS with the settings that you need to save. After that, turn on the data transfer mode and go online using any browser.
If for some reason the settings did not come to you, you can request them from the operator. For different operators, this is done in different ways:
- Megaphone: SMS with short text “1” to number 5049
- MTS: SMS with any text to number 1234
- Beeline: call to number 0880, password to save settings 1234
- Tele2: call to number 679
- Motive: call to number 111
Manual Internet setup
There are times when automatic settings do not apply. In this case, we will try to configure manually. We will create an access point ourselves, specify the necessary settings, save, and then reboot the smartphone / tablet. It is worth noting that this method is the most reliable when setting up mobile Internet in Android.
To create an access point go to Settings -> Other networks -> Mobile networks -> Access points.
APN (Access Point Name, access point name) is a packet data network identifier that allows the subscriber to access data services (WAP, Internet, MMS).
Internet settings for different operators:
- Megaphone: APN - "internet", username - "gdata", password - "gdata"
- MTS: APN - "internet.mts.ru", username - "mts", password - "mts"
- Beeline: APN – “internet.beeline.ru”, username – “beeline”, password – “beeline”
- Tele2: APN - "internet.tele2.ru", username - empty field, password - empty field
- Motive: APN – “inet.ycc.ru”, username – “motiv”, password – “motiv”
After manual configuration, save and reboot the phone. The Internet must work.
