Zong Internet Setting 2024
Hey there, fellow Zong users! If you’re anything like me, you probably want everything on your phone to work smoothly, especially your internet connection. Recently, I had to manually configure the Zong internet settings on my smartphone, and I thought I’d share my experience with you. Whether you’re setting up a new device or trying to fix an issue, I’ve got you covered with this step-by-step guide.
Why Manual Settings?
First off, you might be wondering why anyone would need to do this manually. Most smartphones these days, whether Android or iPhone, automatically configure your internet settings when you insert your SIM card. But sometimes, things don’t go as planned, or you just want to ensure everything is set up perfectly. That’s where manual settings come in.
Zong Internet Settings (3G/4G) for Android
If you’re an Android user like me, here’s how you can set up your Zong internet settings manually. It’s not as complicated as it sounds, and once you do it, you’ll feel like a tech pro!
Zong WAP Settings
Here’s what I did:
- I went to Settings on my phone.
- Then I tapped on Wireless & Networks.
- Next, I selected Mobile Networks.
- From there, I went to Access Point Names (APN).
- I tapped the Add button (it’s usually at the top-right corner).
- Finally, I entered the following details:SettingValueAPNzongwapLogin Name(leave blank)Password(leave blank)WAP Gateway IP10.81.6.33Port (if required)8000
Once I saved these settings, everything started working like a charm.
Zong Internet GPRS/EDGE Settings
Next, I wanted to make sure my GPRS/EDGE settings were also configured properly. Here’s what I did:
- I opened Settings again.
- Went to Wireless & Networks.
- Then, I headed over to Mobile Networks and selected Access Point Names.
- I tapped the Add button and filled in the following:SettingValueAPNzongwapLogin Name(leave blank)Password(leave blank)WAP Gateway IP10.81.6.33Port (if required)8000
I left all the other fields as they were and hit save. Simple, right?
Zong Internet Settings for Android
To make sure everything was perfect, I also added the following settings:
- I went to Settings > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names.
- Added a new APN with these details:SettingValueAPN NameInternetAPNzonginternetAuthentication TypeNoneAPN Typedefault
I discovered that the Zong 4G APN is the same as the 3G APN, so you don’t need to change anything else.
Zong Internet Settings (3G/4G) for iPhone (iOS)
For those of you using an iPhone, I’ve got you covered too. Even though I’m an Android user, I helped a friend set up their iPhone, and here’s how we did it:
We went to Settings on the iPhone.
Tapped on Mobile Data > Mobile Data Network.
Entered the following settings:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| APN Name | Internet |
| APN | zonginternet |
| Authentication Type | None |
| APN Type | default |
And that was it! The internet was up and running in no time.
Zong MMS Settings for Android/iOS
MMS settings are just as important, especially if you like sharing photos via text. Here’s how I set up mine:
- I went to Settings > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names.
- Added a new APN and entered these details:SettingValueAPNzongwapLogin Name(leave blank)Password(leave blank)WAP Gateway IP10.81.6.33Port (if required)8000Relay server/messaging serverhttp://10.81.6.11:8080
MMS Settings for Android & iPhone
Once that was done, I made sure my MMS settings were correct by entering:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| APN Name | MMS |
| APN | zongmms |
| MMSC | http://10.81.6.11:8080 |
| MMS Port | 8000 |
| APN Type | mms |
Getting Zong Internet Settings via SMS
If you’re not into doing things manually, you can get your settings sent directly to your phone via SMS. Here’s how:
- Just send a text with the word “all” to 2161.
- You’ll receive a message with your internet and MMS settings.
