Check your APN Settings

If you've recently updated software or firmware your settings may have changed!

We've noticed that certain mobile devices revert to old or default APN settings after a firmware or operating system update, so please make sure that your APN is still set to afrihost, and not myMTN (or another setting). If your settings look correct, please hit the button below to make 100% sure that you are on our data network. If the page does not give you a Success message, please double check your device setup using the instructions below.
