  2. karl Says:

    I have a cellpone (dopod S1) , I sent a message contained “gprs” to 8989 ,but I didn`t get message,so I couldn`t configring my phone.How can I do?

  3. wissam Says:

    You will have to go with manual configuration, configurations in phone is easy.
    APN or Access point is almadar.net
    carrier is GPRS
    Always on or call on demand no difference
    name it and make it your default connection
    if they didn’t cut the 10 dinars from your credit yet it means you didn’t subscribe and can’t use internet.

    Thanks.

  13. Amir Says:

    Hi Wissam,

    I have not been able to connect to the GPRS. I have a post paid account about 3 years old…….. Is that part of the problem?

    I am using HTC smartphone. I tried sending the SMS to 8989 and received 2 blank messages in return from +8182, nothing else. I tried doing the settings manually and entered the APN name but so far no progress.

    Please advise.

    Thanks for your efforts.

  17. Pratik Says:

    Hi Wissam,

    I have a Samsung E840 mobile. I have received msgs from Almadar after sending GPRS to 8989.

    I have configured my phone with homepage URL as http://www.google.com and APN as almadar.net

    Still it is showing “service unavailable” while trying to connect.

    There are some fields in the connection settings as IP adress and PORT…..shall I fill it?
    If so, what should I write there?….Please help.

  18. hakim Says:

    I like to know the APN of AL MADAR GPRS Servic

  19. wissam Says:

    Pratik, your setting are correct 100% the problem that might be preventing you from accessing to the network is profile setting, may be you didn’t not set almadar profile as your default connection, please take a look at the browser setting also.

    Hakim, the APN is almadar.net

  20. Pratik Says:

    Hi Wissam,

    Yes, I have set current browser profile in ‘browser setting” as “Almadar Internet”.

    I have not found the option for making this profile as default.

    The setting for profile “Almadar Internet” I have mentioned earlier. But in that profile I have left “IP adress” as 0.0.0.0 and “Port” is o….These values were by default for any new profile. I do not know whether I should change those values or not.

  25. mario Says:

    good day wissam … how can i activate 3G o my mobile phone N70 i subcribe already at almadar.net but iwant to activate my 3G thank’s….

  26. Chris Says:

    Hi,

    I have been using a Motorola K1 with almadar to connect to the internet via my PC for 3 months. For the last two days I’ve noticed that my Madar connection is closing after 30 minutes. Each time it happens I can re-connect immediately but its a pain, especially if I’m trying to download a large file. Any idea why this is happening?

    Also, I can not access the internet directly on my phone, Madar does not seem to have any settings for the K1 model.

  27. Ahmed Says:

    hi,

    I am using Al-Madar internet but it is damn slow. Can you tell me how to subscribe to Libyana Internet? I will be waiting for your response

  28. Mohamed ALi Ender Says:

    We need a faster connection then this, Will AlMadar ever be as fast as other world serves. 1) Downturns with almadar Internet, Problems with the connection every day, its not fast, always disconnect. I’m not trying to bash Madar but the company relay needs to do something about the problems that are cosing so many people running to Libyana so they could brows faster and download faster, Madar needs to boost some more juicy Internet speed.

  29. Chris Says:

    Ahmed,

    Juat send a text message to 1515 containing “1″. This opens your internet access. Sending a text with “0″ closes it. Libyana is definately faster but costs a lot more because they charge by usage, not by the month like Madar. I think they charge a quarter of a dinar per megabyte of download.

  30. ashish Says:

    Hi, my almadar connection for second month has not yet started in my mobile even after sending gprs message to 8989. From my account 10 dinars have been deducted.i have not received any confirmation message also. Kindly help/guide.

  31. Santos Says:

    Hello Wizzam,
    I have a cellpone, SonyEricson W910i, I sent a message contained “gprs” to 8989. then they sent a configuration but is not working…i check also APN and its correct (almadar.net)…please help me….

  32. Blackpirate Says:

    Hi there
    So i m
    Using iphone but chines its not originale i sended message 8989 they took credit but internet setting not comes i cant connecting internet i m Using madar line manually how can i fix it if u help ill be pleasure

  33. Chris Says:

    ashish – I have the same problem, the first month was ok, after that, each time I renew, they take 10 dinars but I still cant connect. Each time I call them on 1211 and then they fix it so that I can connect.

    Santos – are you trying to connect on a computer using your mobile or just trying to use the internet diret on your mobile? It seems like a lot of mobiles, including my Motorola, can not use the settings to directly connect. The only phones I know that are successfulk doing this are Nokia models. I just connect via the PC. If you are trying to do this, what is the error message you are getting? On your PC, in tools/internet options/connections, make sure that your Madar connection is set as default.

  34. faisal Says:

  38. Smith Says:

    I am using the Almadar internet connection thru my mobile from the begining. But I noticed that u have upgraded ur service from GPRS to EDGE during that period. But still we are getting very slow connection. During the morning session we can access the internet but after the lunch its very slow and in the evening I feel very sorry about 10 Dinar per month.

    Please, Try to give some immediate solution in order to keep the customer continuing with ur service.

    Thanking you.

    Yes thank you, what you have said needs no genius. Eventhough my cellphone accesses the internet except that my laptop cannot access it through the cellphone, it keeps saying :SUBSCRIBE TO PACKET DATA FIRST.

    Can u plz introduce the solution for this problem.

    Thank you..

  46. Yasmine Says:

    Mr. Moad, i ve watched ur video pertaining to connectin’ laptop/pc to internet through madar/libyana sim card, i think that is all what i need to solve the packet data thing. so thank u so much,, salams.

  47. Imre Says:

    I send a requisted number 1 on 8990, after I receiced that from my account taked 10 dinars, but no connection,

    ?

    Thanks, please let me know what to do?

    • Moad Says:

      well you need to install your configuration that you received, if you did not receive it then type in your mobile phone brand exactly then send it again to the same number.

    • carlito Says:

      I send a requested number 1 on 8989 i Can not read arabic please translate to english

  48. vijayakumar Says:

    dear sir
    for 10 libyan dinnars how many days i can get and use the internet facilities pls let me know
    thank you

    • Moad Says:

      when you pay 10 dinars you get to use the internet connection provided for 30 days, then after this one month finish, you’d need to renew it by paying 10 dinars again.


  49. Sir, I would like to know if Almadar has changed the policy on internet usage. Is it true that the 10 Dinar is good only for 45 hours internet access? In short Almadar is charging more amount of money for mobile internet access.

    i want to know APN of libyana. i dont know how to connect my libyana gprs to my pc

  53. Moe Says:

    1st: Libyana Question: What is the APN and User Name for Libyana so I can connect via the Nokia Suite? I tried “wap” but that doesn’t work.

    2nd: Al Madar Question: I restored the factory defaults on my new Nokia 3120 Classic and now I cannot use the browser on it. I have set the APN to almadar.net but I keep getting an “Invalid Web Settings” error. I can connect with the Nokia Suite after I put in the User: Almadar Internet but I cannot use the phones browser.

    It worked before I started switching SIMM cards. What number can I text to get Almadar to re-send me the settings for this model?

  54. Moe Says:

    I found out the answers to my own questions.

    #1 “wap” has to be entered as the APN but can also be used as the user name.

    #2 test “all” to “8888″ and Madar will resend the settings.

    Still cannot use Opera Mini but the other browser works. Anyone no how I can get it to work? It keeps saying failed to connect to the internet even though it is available and working on my phone and computer.

    • Moad Says:

      well you go to your mobile settings, and set the Al-Madar internet connection as default for all mobile applications, it worked for me.

  55. rehm Says:
