I tried the bsnl APN settings as shown above but when I connect to the browser it keeps saying that "This is a Wi-Fi service. Please ensure your device has an active Wi-Fi connection and try again". I had set the Mobile services to Mobile Network only and still this error appears. I had subscribed to GPRS facility and it is activated already. Can somebody help.

Thanks and best regards,

I have a prepaid plan and my balance was approx. Rs. 140/- Is that a problem ?

Dude...the 3G capability lies in the hardware, so there is no chance of getting 3G on a 2nd Generation phone. However you can get EDGE by subsribing to GPRS

Submitted by Tranquil1123 (not verified) on Thu, 06/17/2010 - 10:58.

Friends do not use apn name bsnlnet as told by gr8 bsnl call center for 3G. It will give low speeds only(typically 0.12 mbps) Use bsnlsouth OR gprssouth.cellone.in as your APN. No other details reqd. Speeds are un predicatble anything from 0.5 Mbps to 2 Mbps depending on location and time of the day. Enjoy & Explore further !!!!
