Android Handsets GPRS Settings : Ufone/ Zong/ Telenor/ Warid/ Mobilink

Android handsets are starting to see the light of day in Pakistan but sadly the cellular networks over here or more precisely the customer care people aren't aware of their GPRS/EDGE settings, while Androids don’t accept automated settings messages.

Follow these simple steps and you’ll have Internet/EDGE up and running on your Android handset in no time!
