How to set up mobile Internet on an Android smartphone or tablet.

Setting up the Internet on a phone with the Android operating system will not take much time, if the user has detailed instructions on how to connect the Internet on Android. The guide below provides instructions on the basic methods for completing the task. You can connect to the World Wide Web using mobile Internet, for which the owner of the smartphone will have to regularly pay to the cellular operator for the provision of appropriate services.

If the user does not have money on his balance, then he will find instructions on how to set up the Internet on Android using wireless Wi-Fi access points, which are currently organized in almost all public places and provide free access to the global web, for example, train stations, cafes and restaurants, shopping centers, educational institutions, etc.

Of course, a significant number of people have their own Wi-Fi routers at home, so this guide will be useful for both them and their guests. If you have a computer connected to the World Wide Web, then at the end of this article the user will find instructions on how to set up the Internet on your Android phone via a cable connection to a PC.

What's better

The easiest way to connect is to use WI-FI wireless networks - they give the best signal and are the easiest to set up.

Mobile Internet is available everywhere, but connecting to it may cause problems. But access via USB should be used when there is no other choice - for example, there is no WI-FI module, and the selected operator tariff does not include network access services.

Any method of connecting an Android to the network is good in its own way. But, if you suddenly failed to connect, you should not try to use another method, but simply carefully repeat the previous one - most of the errors are associated with inattentive data entry, especially passwords.

Connecting the Internet to an Android tablet via a USB cable

If it suddenly happens that your smartphone does not have a WI-FI module, then you can always connect the Internet to Android from your computer via USB.

First you will have to install a special program on your phone - for example, Reverse Tether. After this, it will be possible to connect to the network via a PC. After installing the wire on the device, lower the curtain (swipe the screen from top to bottom and get to the quick access menu). In the window that opens, select the “Internet Connection” item, the “USB Connection” sub-item.

Instead, there may only be a “Connecting” message that needs to be confirmed.

Now on your computer you need to go to the control panel and select “Network and Sharing Center”, where you can change the adapter settings.

To do this, select the name of the network, right-click on it and in “Properties” uncheck the first line in the “Access” tab and confirm. Then go to properties again, check the first box in the same tab and select “Local Area Connection” or simply check the box next to this item. We confirm again.

After a couple of minutes, the phone will connect. If an error occurs, the algorithm must be repeated.

Important! It's best to disable Windows Firewall, reboot your phone before connecting, and allow root rights when prompted from your phone.

Sometimes you may need to install drivers for your smartphone model on your computer.

The simplest tests

First, we check the balance status. Each provider offers its own method. Read the instructions or dig through your contacts list - usually there is a corresponding number there. To obtain account information, dial *, then a certain three-digit code (unique for each operator), followed by the # symbol and press the call button. In response, the display shows the amount available to pay for calls. If the wallet is empty or there is an overspending of cash, top up your account and the Internet will appear.

We will assume that everything is OK with the balance. What to do next? We look at the network connection indicator. If it is deactivated, it means you are out of range. There is only one cure for this - get away from this place.

All modern smartphone models have a special option. It's called "Data Transfer". To get to this parameter, you need to do the following:

  • Go to the connection settings menu.
  • Click on the “More” item.
  • Click on the “Mobile network” item.
  • On the screen that opens. The picture below will serve as a good illustration:


What to do if there is still no Internet? You can try turning off your smartphone and turning it on again. Sometimes it helps. The fact is that 3G networks often stop pinging after leaving the subway and in other cases entering the access zone from places where there is no network. In this case, the machine is unable to connect to the network without rebooting.

3. method: Through a SIM card of a mobile operator

Immediately after installing the SIM card in the smartphone, it is automatically configured and connected to the global network. The cellular company sends special information to the phone, and the parameters are set independently without the intervention of the gadget owner. Unfortunately, in our world there are always exceptions, and sometimes manual configuration is required. To do this, you need to take the following steps:

Note: all companies providing cellular communication services indicate passwords and logins on their official Internet resources, so if in the above examples there is no data to enter, you can find them out by visiting the operator’s website or calling them by phone.

Automatic settings

Typically, the setup process is as follows: we install a SIM card in the smartphone, and it is automatically configured for the desired operator. This is exactly what happens on all normal phones, unless they are made in a handicraft way in Chinese basements (does not apply to handsets of more or less well-known brands). And some Russian operators, after inserting a SIM card into the phone, immediately send all the necessary settings in the form of service messages.

It is also possible to order automatic mobile Internet settings forcibly:

  • MTS - go to this page, indicate the number and press the “Send” button;
  • MegaFon - automatic order does not work. Previously, you had to send the number “1” (without quotes) to 5049;
  • Beeline - just call 06503;
  • Tele2 - call service number 679.

On MegaFon, only manual configuration is possible if the phone refuses to configure itself when installing a SIM card.

Internet on Android phone via

Instructions on how to connect the Internet to Android on a phone or tablet differ only in the location of the settings and (sometimes) their name, but the algorithm is exactly the same.

The easiest way to access the Internet is through wireless WI-FI connections.

First you need to turn on the wireless network module on your phone - it is usually located in the quick access widget or “hiding” behind the curtain - just swipe the screen from top to bottom to find it.

The WI-FI module icon looks like three or four curved stripes. To turn it on, you need to pull the slider to change the label to On or simply touch the module icon - it will light up, which means the module is turned on.

Important! Even if all further instructions are completed, but the WI-FI module is not turned on, the Internet connection will not be available!

After turning on the module, the phone should search for all available networks on its own. They can be viewed through the settings - to do this, just touch the WI-FI inscription itself in the settings and the phone will show a list of available connections, and whether they are password protected or not.

Select the network - if it is free (not password protected), the smartphone will connect automatically. If there is protection, a password entry window will appear.

After it is entered, you need to click the “Connect” button and the connection will be completed.

Important! The password includes letters of the Latin alphabet in different cases (large and small), numbers, and sometimes punctuation marks. You need to be careful not to make mistakes.

If all steps are completed and the password is entered correctly, the phone will connect to the WI-FI access box and you can start working on the Internet.

Telecom operator

Connecting through wireless networks of a telecom operator is somewhat more complicated due to the fact that you need to register access points that are different for each operator. If the user has difficulty setting up, you can always contact the operator for help.

In general, the first time you turn on a smartphone with a new SIM card inside, the network settings should automatically appear, after which the connection to the Internet occurs via 4 (LTE), 2 or 3G.

Important! If the SIM card is new and just purchased, the employee of the communication store must activate it; without this, it is impossible to make calls or access the Internet.

Connecting the Internet to Android via 3g is quite simple (all other networks are connected in the same way).

This can be done without WI-FI, anytime and anywhere:

  • go to the smartphone settings;
  • further – section “Wireless networks”;
  • subsection “Mobile communications”;
  • in the “Communication Operators” section, enable “Select automatically” or from the list.

Important! If yours is not among the presented operators or the settings are not suitable (have changed), they can always be found on the operator’s official website or obtained by calling or sending a short SMS message with the appropriate team to the technical support service.

If it was not possible to set the settings automatically, you need to go to the “Access Points” or “APN” item in the mobile network settings.

Select the line “New access point” and enter the data corresponding to your operator:

To connect from an MTS SIM card, you need to enter the following data:

TELE 2

If your operator is TELE2, some lines in the settings are not filled in at all.

  • APN - internet.tele2.ru;
  • Password – not filled in.

All that remains is to confirm and select this access point to connect.

Beeline

Beeline always transmits all settings automatically and manual entry is required only if the settings have been reset.

All that remains is to confirm and select this access point to connect. Sometimes you need to additionally enable CHAP authorization; to do this, in the mobile network settings, go to APN, “Beeline internet” and enable authentication.

Megaphone

Megafon subscribers most often have to connect manually.

To do this you need to enter the following information:

  • Name – any, user’s choice;
  • APN – internet;
  • Username – not filled in;
  • Password – not filled in.

All that remains is to confirm and select this access point to connect.

The Ukrainian operator Life requires the following information to connect:

All that remains is to confirm and select this access point to connect.
