GPRS Settings for Nokia Phones in BSNL

Hi friends,

This is a major mess in india, That BSNL don't provide GPRS settings for the most cellphones, espacially of nokia.
On this post i will provide you the GPRS settings that will work on most phones.

1. Open Packet Data settings of your phone
   
2. Select Edit active access point
   
3. Select "Alias for access point" and write Bsnlgprs, save it
   
4. Now goto Packet Data access point and write gprsnorth.cellone.in(EDIT: in some phones it'll not work, use BSNLNET as access point instead), and save it also
   

Now here comes the main work

1. Goto Menu, Settings, Configuration
   
2. Select Personal Configuration Settings, and select Web
   
3. write the following things, leave blank if not mentioned here
   
   

   Account

   Bsnl Gprs

   Home Page

   http://wap.cellone.in

   Use preffered access point

   No

   
   
   


4. Now open Access point settings, and write the things given below
   
   

   Proxy

   Disabled

   Data Bearer

   Packet Data

   
   
   


5. Select bearer settings now
   
   

   Packet Data Access point

   gprsnorth.cellone.in (for phones it didn't worked, as mentioned earlier try BSNLNET)

   Network Type

   IPv4 (you can change it, does not effect the GPRS)

   Authentication Type

   Secure

   
   
   


6. and Now dont forgot to select "Personal Config." in Menu, Settings, Configuration, Default configuration Settings.
   



7. restart the cellphone after you have done this, Now start the GPRS Voila! you have connected and dont forget to check this blog again for new things.

If you want to have internet on your computer, from the phone, using it as an external modem,

1. First add, and check that you have all the necessary things installed and properly functioning.
2. If you're using a data cable to connect phone, install necessary drivers.
3. Once connected the driver should automatically explore the phone for services, and substantially it'll also find out of the internet connectivity of your phone.
4. Next step, go to control panel, phone and modem options, Modem tab.
5. There'll be a list of modems, select the one with your phone's name on it.
6. Go to it's properties, Advanced Tab.
7. In Extra Initalization Commands, Type at+cgdcont=1,"ip","bsnlnet","",0,0
8. if bsnlnet is not the access point for you, have gprsnorth.cellone.in in its place.

NOTE: settings only support Web, they will not support mobile applications that requires Internet connection to open and remember a thing that Manual settings of GPRS do NOT support internet applications of cellphone(yahoo! go, G' Maps, e.t.c)
