To enjoy YU's affordable data tariff plans on your mobile device, you'll need a GPRS-enabled phone and manually configure it to access the internet using YU (Essar) network. While Safaricom is the only service provider operating on a 3G platform, others, including YU, still use GPRS. However, service providers like Safaricom, Orange, and Airtel offer automatic configuration of GPRS settings, which are sent by the provider. With these providers, you simply need to confirm the settings by saving or storing them to start accessing the internet on your cell phone.
