I got setting through SMS in Nokia E72, having activated 3g SIM card but could not surf in 3G mode.It is functioning in GSM mode only.I contacted cellone customer care several times but their suggestion failed to give any result.

Iphone gprs and mms settings for bsnl cellone

It works like magic...Thanks for the post...Very helpful

I tried the bsnl APN settings as shown above but when I connect to the browser it keeps saying that "This is a Wi-Fi service. Please ensure your device has an active Wi-Fi connection and try again". I had set the Mobile services to Mobile Network only and still this error appears. I had subscribed to GPRS facility and it is activated already. Can somebody help.

Thanks and best regards,

Sajan
PS
I have a prepaid plan and my balance was approx. Rs. 140/- Is that a problem ?

Dude. Blackberry is a smartphone. And normalgprs. Doesnot work on. Any blackberry. Device. If u want to use internet on bb then you have to subscribe to the blackberry enterprise server services. Which cost around. 399.rs in a prepaid connection for a month.

Regards,
Kapil madan

Hi, I followed the gprs and mms settings but my phone still says "Could not activate cellular data network You are not subscribed to a cellular data service" - any clues? I noticed that my Iphone instead of having a "Mmsc proxy" it reads Mmc Proxy. Does my cell require a different code?

I am unable to get the settings over SMS. I get a message from BSNL saying that the format is not correct. I am typing NOKIA 5800 and sending sms to 58355.

u can directly download settings for your 5800. from http://bsnl.in/wap-web/cellone_msp.htm site, selecting your respective zone, click on device management and follow the steps. it's simple and easy to use.

While giving SMS for 3G activation for Nokia 5800, you have to give as NOKIA 5800 XPRESSMUSIC

how to get settngs for sony xperia e dual c104....

hw to send the sms ...in wat name

I used these settings for 3G for my unlocked iPhone 3GS
APN : gprssouth.cellone.in
username : ppp
password : ppp123
as it was listed above

apn is specific to region. Iam in hyderabad so my apn is gprssouth.cellone.in
logically it should b gprsnorth,gprseast,gprswest respectively ..but in anycase check ur GPRS settings for ur region

n yeah 3G isworking like a charm on t fone..

Thanks a lot guys

ANY UPDATES OR WILL I EVER MAKE USE OF 3G ON MY IPHONE 2G

Dude...the 3G capability lies in the hardware, so there is no chance of getting 3G on a 2nd Generation phone. However you can get EDGE by subsribing to GPRS

I have tried a lot of combinations using gprssouth.cellone.net, none of them worked from me, i am in Hyderabad

I used "bsnlnet" as APN without any username and password it worked.

Friends do not use apn name bsnlnet as told by gr8 bsnl call center for 3G. It will give low speeds only(typically 0.12 mbps) Use bsnlsouth OR gprssouth.cellone.in as your APN. No other details reqd. Speeds are un predicatble anything from 0.5 Mbps to 2 Mbps depending on location and time of the day. Enjoy & Explore further !!!!

Hi,

If your phone is not supported you can use "bsnlnet" as APN point (without the quotes) to get things working. Here is an detailed example - http://www.megaleecher.net/BSNL_3G_Settings_For_Apple_iPhone.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi, i have a bsnl 3g connection. Its working fine when I am browsing , speed is awesome. my download speed is 40-70 kb/s on my Nokia N70, and i don't expect better speeds on handsets. But the problem is whenever i am trying to play youtube videos through N70 , it is not working. NO VIDEO STREAMING AT ALL FROM YOUTUBE.

BUT WHEN I AM USING AIRTEL/ VODAFONE YOUTUBE VIDEOS WORK PERFECTLY.

PLZ SUGGEST ME A SOLUTION.

The problem is with BSNL, I guess they are throttling speeds and therefore nothing can be done on your part. Better opt for number portability and switch your service provider.
