You can
configure your mobile phone by texting SMS command to a special number
provided by the operator you want to use in connecting to the internet.
If your phone can be configured automatically, within a few minutes of
sending the text message, you will receive messages from the operator
which will contain the internet settings. All you just have to do is to SAVE the settings.
If your
phone cannot be automatically configured, the operator will notify you
through a text message. In this case, you will have to configure your
phone manually. If you cannot configure it manually, you can
either call the customer care of your operator or you visit the nearby
office of the operator and it will be done for you.
