If you are a BSNL mobile subscriber and want to get Internet on your mobile through GPRS then you will need to configure your mobile for GPRS access.
But before configuring, you need to get GPRS services activated for your mobile.Earlier this year BSNL has activated GPRS on all prepaid mobiles.So you just need to configure your mobile and go surfing.Postpaid users will need to activate it as there are different plans for postpaid users.However, in case GPRS in not activated by default in your area, you can activate it by sending an SMS as follows,depending on what type of user you are.
BSNL Prepaid
SMS GPRSPRE to 53733 .It can take 24 hrs to get activated and you will get a confirmation message after activation.
BSNL postpaid
After you decide on the plan SMS GPRS49 or GPRS199 to 53733.It can take 24 hrs to get activated and you will get a confirmation message after activation.
Configuration settings for GPRS access
After your activation is done you need to configure your mobile to get GPRS data.You have to send a message to 58355 which contains your mobile model.For example-If you have a Nokia N70 ,SMS “Nokia N70″ to 58355.
Soon you will get WAP,Portal,GPRS and MMS settings from BSNL.Save them all to your mobile.Use either WAP or GPRS as your default access point if your mobile asks for it.
Why are so many settings given for-
- BSNL Portal settings -Enables your mobile to browse BSNL WAP portal i.e. http://wap.cellone.in
- BSNL WAP settings-Enables your mobile to browse any WAP enabled portal.
- BSNL GPRS-Enables your mobile to browse any site on Internet.Moreover this setting is responsible to get Internet on your Laptop/PC using your mobile.
- BSNL MMS-Needed to send and receive MMS.
After configuration it’s time to browse the Internet.Opera mini is a better browser than the default one.You can download Opera Mini and then start using it to know why it’s the world’s most popular mobile Web browser.
Help! My Configuration doesn’t work
Now if automatic configuration doesn’t work on your mobile then here are the resources to help you out-
Know the basic terms and facts of GPRS settings.
Nokia 3500C,6300,6131,6233,6270,660 slide,6600 fold,3600 slide,6300i,5610Xpress music,5310xpress music,6500 and so on
Having all the above resources can help you to setup GPRS access manually.If you still have difficulty you can let me know in comments.

sir in my mobile gprs is activated but not get the settings my cell is nokia and model numbers is nokia 5130 c 2 please send the settings
Fron which region you are..and which service provider you are using.If it’s BSNL try sending “Nokia 6600″ or “Nokia 6300″ to 58355.Make sure you have cleared all settings which you have modified.
How to configure BSNL GPRS for Preepaid
bhai, me bhi pareshaan hu, waise bsnl ke pass iss phone ke liye settings hi h……
sir,
What will be the cost of the sms which will send for activation of gprs?
I am not sure that the number is toll free or not, but it will not be charged as a premium SMS .Hence normal SMS charge will apply.
Pls Give me screen shot Link sys wireless router configuration& internet Setting
@pramodpandey -Kindly clarify your question.Do you want to setup your wireless router with our laptop or something else??
Is bsnl postpaid gprs 199 plan worth it.!
I mean what’s the surfing and download speed?
@RacerX-To be frank-plan 199 is suitable only if there is no option for Internet access as startup plans for broadband are available for as low as Rs.100/-.
Just some months ago I was using this plan-199.The download speed will never be more than 6-8KB per seconds that too at max.However it’s good for mobile browsing.So if you travel a lot or have very basic requirements like just checking mails-Go for it.
However if you plan to use it for regular browsing but can’t have broadband (due to travel or non availability) you can settle for data cards which will provide you better browsing experience and are available from almost every provider.

If Internet is working on your phone and not on the PC then the problem may be with GPRS access point on the phone.Also make sure that you have manual settings in Nokia PC suite with access point written properly and you have to keep ID and password fields BLANK..If GPRS in not working on mobile too then there may be a problem in activation.Which BSNL region you belong to?

@BJ: Nokia One Touch Access by itself does not need many settings.what it needs is “Manual configuration” and “Access point”.I am not sure about access point in your area-could be ”
gprswest.cellone.in”.Try this and also inquire about access point in your area and Yes -let me know if you get it.
I am having Sony Ericsson W705. I am using BSNL GPRS for PC Browing, its working like 3G…..with download speed of 70 KBps. Yaaa its KB per second (If not believed, give me ur mail ID, I will mail u the screenshots of the same). and a icon of 3G and H appears on the display. But same settings are not working for Browsing in my phone. Also used the BSNL Wap setting for phone browsing , but error : Communication Error. I have recharged my mobile with Rs. 230 unlimited GPRS plan. Please tell me why it is not working in my PC.
@Deepu:Congratulation that you are getting such speeds.I assume it’s because of 3G network.As far as phone browsing is concerned i am not sure whether they have a separate access point for 3G network or not.In case there is a separate access point you will nee to get it from your BSNL area .

Dear Sir,
Plz help me getting GPRS setting for my USHA LEXUS 898B set.I have subscribed BSNL post paid GPRS-199 plan. Location Orissa. BSNL customer service says they have activated the GPRS service but I am getting connection failure with all possible setting on my set. WAP–settings–edit profile–bsnlgprs–edit profile (profile-bsnlgprs)(homepage:http//www.yahoo.com)(data account; bsnlgprs)(connection type:html)(username-RAKESH)(password-nil) than profile activated. but browsing says connection failure. there is no such option for access point as some nokia user told me .plz help me.
thanks
rakesh
@Rakesh: Please leave the user name field blank where you have put your name.Please use Opera Mini Browser for Internet.Unfortunately I can’t say where to set access point on a Usha Lexux mobile.Kindly retry fetching the settings from BSNL by sending N70 or Nokia 6600 as the model name.
Deepika press 0(hold) when web browsing screen appear then press options > setting > assess poing > and here set bsnlwap then u can use the net on your mobile definitely ok
