Mobile Operator APN Data Settings

Hey Everyone, I'm looking to find up-to-date APN data/internet settings for the mobile operators in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. If any of you have them, mind replying with them? Kenya Safaricom Airtel Orange Yu Tanzania Vodacom Airtel Tigo Zantel Uganda MTN Airtel Warid Orange UG Essar As an example, for Safaricom I have: APN: safaricom Username: saf Password: data For Vodacom TZ: APN: WAP Username: Voda Password: 1234 Another question, is how important it is to have the fields for "account name", "proxy" and "IP Address" as part of what needs to be filled in for each operator? Thanks, Erik Hersman www.ushahidi.com | www.iHub.co.ke www.whiteafrican.com | @whiteafrican

For Safaricom, the "account" credentials (username/password) are of no consequence if left blank. However, some devices might insist in having some detail entered. The proxy settings are not as important as they were pre-WAP2.0 and can be left out as well. MMS still requires proxy settings though. ./bernard On Mon, Apr 8, 2013 at 12:50 PM, Erik Hersman <erik@zungu.com> wrote:

Attached is a very old list I compiled over 3 years ago. It may probably help as you dig around for more recent settings Some operators optionally implement *'APN override' *mechanism to get around the headache of communicating the settings to their subscribers every so often as well as to reduce connection hitches due to misconfigured APNs. PS : For Airtel OpCos, the new Airtel Modems come with the settings of all Airtel Operations across Africa pre-configured on the dashboard; you can check there too.

I just bumped into : http://wiki.apnchanger.org/Main_Page Comprehensive info on Kenya in there; but lacking info on our good neighbours.
