i have an unlocked Vodafone R205. when i insert my mtn sim, it connects to the internet but i get an indication of "limited connection".

i have created a new connection profile, with all the relevant settings for MTN. i see that the router connects receives and ip address, but i am unable to browse the internet.

can anyone give me any assistance?

Doesn't the dialup number have to change ? I know for Vodacom it dials *99***2#, I think MTN uses *99#

Try setting the APN to 'internet'.
