BSNL 3G Settings and Configuration

·

·

BSNL 3G is now available in many parts of India.You can enjoy  high speed Internet,Video calling and novelties like mobile TV if you have a 3G mobile phone and a BSNL/MTNL connection as presently only these companies offer 3G services.Of course you should be ready to pay a premium for these services.

Here are the configuration settings for 3G mobiles which enable you to get 3G services in your mobile,particularly High speed Internet,or mobile broadband.

Settings for BSNL3G on Nokia and other mobiles.

The configuration settings has to be completed in two steps.First, you have to make sure that your mobile is set to work in 3G network mode which is denoted by UMTS(Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) mode in your mobile.If it is set to dual mode (UMTS+GSM),the mobile will fall back to GSM mode in absence of UMTS network.

However you should change this only when browsing Internet or you will not be able to get a network if UMTS is absent.Theoretically  in dual mode,the mobile will work in UMTS ,if both networks are present and fall back to low data rate speed GSM only when UMTS is absent,but here we are forcing to use only UMTS to avoid occasional glitches which may  sometime occur due to falling back.You can also try to browse Internet in Dual mode,and if you do not find any speed variation problem,you can keep your mobile in dual mode.

BSNL 3G Settings

Step 1:Setup your network mode.

Go to Menu->Settings->Connectivity (or wherever you may edit network settings) and select Network.Open Network mode and change it to UMTS.The default is dual mode.

Step 2:Configure your 3G Access Point

Just like a GPRS access point ,you need an access point for 3G too.BSNL has changed its Access Point  recently in some parts of India.You have to put the following access point according to the BSNL region leaving all other things to defaults in access point settings.BSNL 3G Access Point Setting

For BSNL UP (East) Access Point  is –“bsnlnet”.

For Chennai region it’s “gprssouth.cellone.in

You may have to fiddle with access point because BSNL does not have a unified access point all over India.You can try “gprs3g.bsnlmobile.in” or “bsnlnet” to get 3G in your handset.

If you do not know where to put the access point,read the guide to GPRS configuration first.

That’s it.You are now ready to experience mobile broadband in your device provided by BSNL 3G.If you really want to test how fast is the connection,watch any video on YouTube and let me know in comments whether you enjoyed 3G or not.

      Are you able to surf on the mobile.If yes then there are only two possible reasons.Either the access point for the USB modem is not configured properly or as your error message says-I suspect you are using any unsupported Operating System.

      first of all u need to install kies software( do not install a typical installation as it does not contain the internet connector software), then connect your mobile with your PC, once the device is connected you will be able to see your status of mobile connected in upper right side of your monitor. then select the globe you will be able to see in the gazets below( in the last). now configure a new setting with gprs apn as (bsnlnet) and dial no. as ( *99# or *99***1# ) and leave every thing blank, once the profile is created u will be able to connect to the internet.
      if u still have any doubt then mail me on cgzmmo31@yahoo.co.in

      Dear nikhil,
      Only thing you have to do is to convert the GSM mode setting to either UMTS mode or Dual mode in network setting. you will get 3G sign if bsnl 3G signal are available in your area.

    I have converted my existing 2G sim to 3G sim (mob.no.)
    by paying Re1.00 through recharge but I could not confirm
    That my plan has changed or not. please tell me that how can I confirm
    .

    1. Amit Pandey Avatar

      you can easily check that your 2G sim has converted in 3G or not, by putting your 3G enabled mobile in UMTS mode. if 3G sign appears than your sim is 3G enabled.you can set UMTS mode in network setting option. but the first thing is you should have 3G enabled set other wise you will not getting UMTS mode in network setting.

    The most persons sitting at BSNL customer service centre don’t know the services of BSNL and how to use it. Those should be evaluated and sent to home by compulsary retirement.
