How to Activate/Configure MMS, GPRS, 3G - Globe, Smart, Sun

So here's how to configure it, you may opt for automatic or manual configuration. Your choice.

If your phone model is not yet on the list of supported models, you can use the nearest compatible phone model.

Send GO [handset model] to 2951
