Telkom Kenya APN Settings / Internet Settings
Ideally, Telkom Kenya should automatically configure your smartphone with the appropriate internet settings. But should that not happen, you can send a blank message to 1234 and the Telcom internet settings will be sent to your phone. If you can handle manual setup, here is the info you need:
Go to the Network settings on your device and create an APN and name it “Telkom”. The name isn’t important. Under the following fields, enter the settings provided below:
- Name : Telkom
- APN : telkom
Leave everything else blank, then save this APN profile. Select it as your preferred APN and you are good to go. Those are the settings that you need to be able to use these Telkom Kenya data plans on your smartphone. The above internet settings are valid for both Telkom Kenya 4G and 3G.
Telkom Kenya 4G LTE Coverage/Service

How Fast Is 5G?
As an example, Samsung’s 5G trials have returned 1.2Gbps in a vehicle moving at 100 km per hour and 7.5Gbps in a stationary position. Let that sink in. With more optimization work being done, perhaps we will yet see much faster 5G speeds than these.
5G Mobile Networks
No mobile network anywhere in the world is 5G ready yet but test operations between network equipment manufacturers and network operators already exist. Intel plans to make its 5G mobile trial platform available for the 5G network being deployed by Korea Telecom (KT) for the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympic Winter Games, so expect a 5G network up and running in Korea next year.
Qualcomm released the first 5G modem , the Snapdragon X50, in 2016. We are guessing that is what powers the world’s first 5G smartphone that was showed to the world by Qualcomm’s Marketing lead for LTE and 5G NR modems, Sherif Hanna. Have a look:
The World’s First 5G Smartphone
Of course, this unique phone is not available for sale anywhere. It is a trial device and will be used for optimizing of the new technology. You will probably be interested in knowing which was the first commercially available 5G smartphone .

Hard to believe that I have the world’s first 5G smartphone in my hand! 😁 pic.twitter.com/b180MawEyT — Sherif Hanna 📶 (@sherifhanna) October 25, 2017
