Here is the fourth tutorial on how to activate GPRS and MMS of Nokia Phones and enable WAP settings. After setting up the configurations properly, your Nokia cell phones will be able to connect to the internet, browse webpages and download emails. In this article, Sun-powered cell phones (Nokia and other phones with similar navigation and configuration settings) can use the following procedure in activating GPRS and MMS. The first three tutorials were titled “How to Setup WAP by Activating GPRS and MMS of Globe Cell Phones“, “How to Setup WAP by Enabling GPRS and MMS of Smart Cell Phones“, and “How to Configure Nokia N99i V9+i, Nokia N95 8Gb Clone and Other China Cell Phones to Connect to the Internet“. Please read these articles for your guidance in enabling configuration settings for other networks and other phone brands.

Automatic Activation of GPRS/MMS/WAP

Rufmon,

yeah, other users of Nokia 6101 experience the same problem. the problem must be with the phone and not with the procedure in activating GPRS and MMS of Nokia phones powered by Sun Cell.

Hi,

Thanks for your comment. Before carrying out the tutorial, make sure you have enough cell phone load. Try the automatic method to activate GPRS and MMS of your Nokia phone then if it won’t work, try the manual settings. I hope this helps.
