airtel settings for phones

Somewhat recently, airtel acquired zain’s africa operations… And more recently has been changing settings to reflect the corporate-side changes. For the end user, this has meant some sporadic disruptions of services, including internet, and mysteriously disappearing voucher. Well, can’t do much about the latter, but the former… well I guess we can’t do much about that either. However, here are the “new” settings for those of us who use airtel’s internet services on cellular phones:
