Facebook Zero on Android Handsets

June 2010, Sun Cellular released Facebook Zero via WAP Service with no extra data charge. It works automatically on almost all smartphones available in the market that is capable for WAP GPRS service. For Android Handsets, its a different scenario. Since Android handsets are by default designed to support web browsing capability thru Sun Internet Access Point, WAP Access Point does not come automatically. Alternatively, in order to enjoy Facebook Zero from Sun Cellular, few tweaks are required on the internet connection settings.

Here are few steps to do on your Android Handset:

  1. Tap launcher key and then go to Settings > Wireless and Networks.
  2. Go to Mobile Networks > Access Point Names.
  3. From Access Point Names; press MENU button and select NEW APN and Edit the following Details:


NEW APN (Access Point): (Edit the following infos and leave the rest as is)

Name: Zero Facebook (you can also change this any name you want)
APN: wap
Proxy: 202.138.159.78
