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 !

@Harshad:I am glad that you found the settings useful.Regarding IM settings,kindly wait for 2-3 days.I will be posting a detailed guide on IM setup.
Thanks I was looking for these settings, Good to find it here.
Really helpfull for me I was too much Puzzled after taking gprs due to improper setting.Thanks
i own nokia 3600 . have done the settings as given by u . nt still i m to getting started wth net. my net was wrking fine bt suddenly it stopped. i use bsnl. it just shows “loading” nd nth further. plz help.
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.
thanks a lot this information was really perfect and highly useful.
thanks so much..it really worked…i hope you can help us more..
thank you so much

hi
my mobile is nokia 3600 slide. i am unable to get automatic internet setting.i also use the above mentioned setting but this is not working.so plz help me
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?
@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.
i really thanks to you for telling us settings.. after all now i can surf all the function of my handset..
thanks alot..

Please note that a lot of new mobile sets are released every month,and BSNL cannot track them all and have settings for each and every set.When you are stuck in such situation use the model number of some old phones like -Nokia N70,Nokia 6300,Nokia 6600 and so on.
This is a tried and tested method.
