How To Browse The Internet for Free On Your Android Phone

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.

As of these writing only Etisalat and Airtel allow you to hotspot your Internet data without removing from your calling credit. So if you are the type that has a Blackberry device with HotSpot capability you can also use your Etisalat and Airtel hotstpot on your phone and share to your devices like tablet, Android & iOS phone and your PC. Etisalat BIS codes are shown below.

While some have argued that they are able to use GLO, Etisalat and MTN BIS on their Android, , iOS and Windows Phone smartphones and tablets, it may require additional tweaking and settings of your phone and its not guaranteed to work.

However, if you are successful in making other telecoms BIS apart from Airtel work for you, we would appreciate if you share how you go it to work on your phone or tablet.

If you still want to subscribe to GLO, MTN and Etisalat BIS plans then the best thing is to visit their web sites to know the latest package codes as these networks tend to change their rates and codes at times. MTN BIS have been reported to work on Android of recent (Sept. 25th 2013)
