    Thank you very much. I somehow goofed up my settings 2 months back and BSNL customer care could not help me in getting these. But your instructions are just perfect !! I simply replaced bsnlnorth with bsnlsouth (I reside in Bangalore). It worked…

    Just one favour, I have Nokia6300 and the model has Yahoo IM facility. It does not allow me to login as server name is missing. If you can please help me in getting this resolved then I’ll be grateul to you.

    Thanks for keeping the people well informed about these settings !

      Make sure that you ALWAYS use Opera Mini to browse.If GPRS was working and suddenly stopped then it’s best to Reset the phone (only after taking a backup) and reapply the settings..This should solve your problem.

    I have a Nokia 3110C handset with BSNLGPRS connection located in east India(Assam). While trying to configure the settings from web, a message”verification failed. Settings discarded” is appearing on trying to save the message. As such settings could not be configured. After that i tried the manual setting as suggested by you. But on trying to browse the web, a meassage”Packet data connection not available” is getting displayed. please suggest.

      @Manab:The message “Packet data connection not available” usually appears when the GPRS network is down.If you have selected “packet data connection-when available” then there should be a “G” icon on the main home screen whenever GPRS network is present.

    Hi sir thnx 4 giving the setting,i was not able to access internet on any app. Except inbuilt browser
    but i cant access on opera yet.
    I ve 4 rp in acount & monthly gprs pack
    Is this due to less acount or what?

    • Vbb permalink*
      July 29, 2009

      @Yadvendu :It doesn’t seem to be an account balance related problem.Try with the latest version of Opera Mini and check that GPRS is selected as the default access point for all applications.

    Hello sir,

    I have GPRS enabled BSNL prepaid mobile (Nokia 3110c). I could browse through my mobile. But I could not connect internet through my Laptob using Mobile as modem through Bluetooth. I can pair my mobile with Laptob and I could access my mobile through laptop which means there is no problem in Bluetooth connectivity. But I could not connect Ineternet. I have tried through PC suit also. While tried through PC suit, the Laptob shows “Disconnected” and my mobile shows “Temporary Network problem”. How can I configure my mobile?
