Missing all providers in Rwanda: Rwandatel, MTN, Tigo

[jtholb]

There is currently no info for mobile broadband providers in Rwanda. I currently have info for Rwandatel and will work on finding information for MTN and Tigo in Rwanda.

Rwandatel:

Access #: *99#
APN: rtel3g
user: rwandatel
pass: rwandatel
dns: 196.12.157.140, 196.12.157.132

If I've left out any information for Rwandatel please let me know and I'll find it.

@jtholb,

Just checking back on this, have you found the information for MTN and Tingo?

[jtholb (jtholb)]

I returned to the States for the holidays and so haven't had a chance, but I'll be back in Rwanda in a few weeks and I'll get the info when I get back.

I'm in Rwanda right now.. here's Tigo's:

APN: web.tigo.rw

No username, password or auth type needed.

Note that for Rwandatel, I found you also had to turn on PAP or CHAP authentication, at least on my Android device.

[jtholb (jtholb)]

nicpottier is right on for Tigo. As for MTN it is

Access #: *99#
APN: internet.mtn

no username or password needed.

If anything else is needed let me know (like the DNS servers for MTN or Tigo which I don't have at the moment)

im sorry but this has still not been fixed in 11.04. missing Tigo and Rtel...

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (cyphermox)]

Indeed, reopening; MTN is now included, but Tigo and Rwandatel are still missing.

Rwandatel informations are available in the description, so that one should be simple enough to add.

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (cyphermox)]

Seems like there is no point bothering with adding Rwandatel, which appears to
have lost its mobile operation license in April 2011. I've sent a patch upstream to add Tigo.

You *could* take this patch from the upstream bug tracker this way:
sudo patch -p1 /usr/share/mobile-broadband-provider-info/serviceproviders.xml < tigo.diff

... but there isn't such a huge point in doing this since it's easy enough to add the APN when creating a connection :)
