9Mobile APN Manual Configuration Settings For Internet Access

This post is about manual APN configuration settings for 9Mobile network (formerly Etisalat Nigeria) in order to have internet access in your phones, tablets, modem and other internet compatible devices. Note that APN simply means

Access Point Name

Ever since Etisalat name was changed to 9Mobile, we have seen some transformations in the logo, adverts, website, social media accounts, data plans, tariffs, mobile app and so on but the APN configuration is not yet automatically pushed to all devices. So I will show you how to configure your 9Mobile APN manually to enjoy smooth browsing experience.

In order word, if you are an old user of etisalat that is now 9mobile you are going to make the change by yourself manually. So if you are having difficulties browsing with your 9Mobile SIM, i will advise you to change your Access Point Name (APN) because the network issue may be caused by the old (APN)
