If Internet providers have not yet reached your home, but you have a computer and a cell phone, you still have the opportunity to have Internet access at home. You will use your mobile phone as a modem. The technology used is called GPRS. In this case, you can have any mobile operator.

Contact the Megafon help desk and find out if the GPRS service is connected to your number. If not, ask to connect it. At your request, you will be sent the settings for your phone in the form of an SMS message. Save them.
