After all these, if you are still unable to open Internet on your mobile then,take a backup and then either RESET your mobile to factory defaults or erase all the settings by which you are unable to get Internet.

Then Setup you mobile as given below.User inputs are given in italics letters.Wherever are the italics letter,you have to write something but without brackets.

Update:
BSNL has changed Access points for many regions.It’s supposed that they are using a unified access point for all India regions.For example,the access point for northern region is no longer ‘gprsnorth.cellone.in’ bus it’s now “bsnlnet“.So kindly use the updated access points if you are unable to get GPRS by using the older access point.

I have just purchased a Nokia 2700 Classic. For some reasons, I am unable to recieve the settings sms from the customer service. Tried the manual settings. But now, it only works on opera mini and some nokia support. But when I constantly press 0 to test the connection or use some inbuilt apps, then it says “subscribe to packet data first”. I have also tried selecting the Use default for all applications but to no avail.

Hey, your suggestion does not work on s40 devices like Nokia 6151. All other network’s gprs settings (airtel, vodafone) is compatible with applications such as opera,ucweb.Because you can see the settings of such networks in
SETTINGS>CONFIGURATION SETTINGS>PREFERRED ACCESS POINT
But you can’t see the settings of bsnl gprs in the above root. Applications like opera works with the settings found in the above shown root. So you can’t bring bsnl’s settings to the above root even manually.
ANY ONE WHO FINDS IT PLEASE COMMENT !!!

I found the result from googling. The steps are
1) goto settings> configurations > personal configurations>options>add new>Access point

Now define packet data access point as bsnlnet. Now goto configurations> preferred access point> My access point
You are done !!!
