Well, congratulations as Mrs NetSocialBlog is going to get that solved for you right here, right now *winks*
It all started when a neighbour walked up to me and came with a report that his phone was unable to connect to internet in which he then gave the phone to me and ask maybe i could resolve it.
Since its related to internet, the first thing i did was to re-configure the device for internet settings using the instruction for automatic configuration settings and when it doesn’t works, i did tried the manual internet configuration settings which ALL PROVED FUTILE.
After several failed attempts, i almost gave up before an idea pop up!

It later occured to me that i should call the customer care and inform them about the issue. Fortunately after calling them and giving thorough explanation, i was not only been told of the problem but also proffered the solution to it.
I later realized that the cause of the mtn sim not browsing was because the DATA HAS BEEN DISABLED via a short-service code and in which before the device could be able to browse, IT would have to be ENABLED with a certain service code.
To cut the long story short, here is how to make your mtn sim start working and browsing back using the short service code.
*. To Disable Data – Dial *466*1#
*. To Enable Data Back, – Dial *466*2#

My data is not working for chrome, YouTube but only working for WhatsApp
Please why?
Only when I use VPN that is when it will start working.
Have you tried to get in touch with the MTN Customer careline?
Usually vpn uses another proxy so try going to ur APN on your mtn SIM and removing the proxy address completely let it be blank save and then try to browse. This worked for me
Thanks for the additional tips..
This will be noted.
You are a great guy, I have been unable to browse with my MTN sim for over a year now.
On removing the proxy, it started working.
Thank a million
Glad it works for you Ken.

Thanks so much for this… I’m able to browse with my MTN sim now after removing the proxy address

Can you specify what exact error you are facing?
Thanks so much for this, really worked like magic,but why would a sim just automatically go off on data?
Glad this was able to work for you.
For now, I can’t really say but the most important thing is; you’ve been able to fix it
