Configuring BSNL 3G on your mobile


Hi Everybody,
Like me many would have found it difficult to setup/configure BSNL 3G services on your mobile. Hope this post helps.

Step 1: Clear out the default setting from your connection setting from your mobile. For Nokia it is: Menu->Tools->Settings->Connections->Access Points. Under this delete the BSNL INTERNET, BSNL MMS & BSNL WAP. This helps in removing duplication.

Step 2: Send an SMS to 58355 with the text " ". For eg. send NOKIA E71 to 58355 for Nokia E series 71 model mobile.

Step 3: As soon as you get the service settings from BSNL, open the settings and save it and also when prompted for "Set as Default" select "Yes". It might prompt you for the Pin to open the message, provide "1111" as the pin.

Step 4: Open your browser and start browsing by selecting "BSNL_INTERNET" as the default connection.

Note: The main setting required in this is selecting the Access Point as "gprssounth.cellone.in" and username as "PPP". This is also required for setting using Internet from laptop via your mobile.

In Chennai mostly you get around 1mbps to 850 kbps during the day and 1.2 mbps during the late night hours.
