BSNL 3G Configuration Settings

After lots of trial and error, online search I still could not figure out how to enable the BSNL 3G configuration. And as a last option I called up the BSNL customer care (1503 from your mobile. Press 2(For english), again 2 (for main menu) and then 9 for talking to a customer care executive). To my surprise someone answered the call at around 9.30 P.M., spoke good english and more importantly answered my query.

Step 1: Send a SMS to 58355 in the following format. E.g. Nokia N900
Step 2: You will receive 4 configuration messages which can be opened with a PIN no.
Step 3: PIN no is 1111
Step 4: Use the PIN, open the configuration message and save it. Do the same for all messages.

Thats all. Initially your phone will show 3G, and when you successfully configure it becomes 3.5G.

As mentioned in the previous post, the speed is really good and network coverage is quite good( It catches only in big cities/towns though. I tried in Hosur, Ambur and Vaniyambadi where the network went to 2.5 G and from Vellore to Chennai it became 3.5G again). Ofcourse it works in many places in Bengaluru/Bangalore.

So far so good.

    Hi Prabhu…

    I sent the SMS – Nokia N900 to 58355

    However i was never prompted for the settings … i just recieved a SMS from BSNL which said the settings were applied successfully..

    1. internet is still not working..

    Can you please tell me how to enable prompting to save the settings..

    2. If not the complete settings info of your n900 so that i can setup same way.

    Thanks
    Musheer

    Musheer,

    Did you get a new 3G SIM from BSNL? Your 2G SIM will also show the nearest 3G tower but you need a 256KB UMTS 3G SIM from BSNL for the settings to work.

    Hi Yaar, My comments r not regarding 3g,but…earlier there were good post from ur side…Travelogue,He she.. But no update nowadays..Busy!!! Please do make ur blog intresting as earlier!!! Thank You.

  7. Hi Prabhu,

    Thanks for the post. It’s nice to know that 3G works fairly well. Have you had a chance to do a video call etc ? I want to know how good those services are ?

    Also, the N900 is available in India already ? How much did you pay for it and where did you pick it up from ?

    Thanks,
    IWOBM

    Hi,

    I bought a 3G SIM, but I am not able to topup. The usual *123* 18 digit secret no # did not work either.

    Do you have a pre-paid card? If so, how did you top-up?

    Thanks,

    Vishnupriya,
    Sure will start again :)

    IWOBM,
    I got it via my friends in Europe. Its not available in India yet. Hope they will launch soon now that MeeGo is coming to N900 in few weeks and all.

    Arvind,
    I went to the customer care centre to recharge it. Not available online.

    Job,
    Which phone do you have?

  11. Krishna Santosh says:

    To access internet with 3G Usim just create new access point with Access Point Name as gprssouth.cellone.in and leave rest of the settings as it is. You will be able to access high speed internet with this access point.

  12. InWantOfBeingMe says:

    Ah I see :)

    and MeeGo is not coming to N900 in a few weeks and all. It’s just that Nokia and Intel have gotten together to make devices using Maemo (the linux based OS that runs on N900) and Moblin (technology headed by Intel)

    Maemo(Nokia) + Moblin(Intel) = MeeGo(New cross platform devices)

    Anway, it’ll be great to see some more reviews about the N900 and 3G in your blog…

    ..and ofcourse your interesting He / She series as well :)

  13. Vikas says:

    I am from Bangalore. After googling for a while I found these settings to be working for BSNL 3G SIM in Bangalore:

    access point: grpssouth.cellone.in
    username: ppp
    passwd: ppp123
    rest leave as default.

    But one thing is not clear, are these GPRS settings or 3G?
    I am not able to see the difference in data download.

    Hi Ferrari,

    I am in Bangalore living at Eagle Ridge – close to Begur/Bommanhalli and electronic city. I plan on buying a 3G Ultra sim (some such name they said) to access internet on my laptop (not mobile). Do you think the speed is good enough for voice as well. I use IP phone and internet for my meetings and I see that the Photon+ (Tata Indicom) is good for text data but when it is voice, it drops every now and then.

    Do you recommend 3G for my requriment ? Is there a way to test how well the 3G will work from my area/home, before buying it ?

    Thanks

  82. John Doe says:

    I had a Excel Prepaid Connection in Chennai for 3 years. I bought a Samsung GT-S5603 ( Samsung Star 3G ) phone. Then I went to BSNL Office in Greams Road,Chennai and asked to convert my existing connection to a 3G prepaid connection. I was told that there were no formalities like filling forms necessary and that all I had to do was to send a SMS with the alphabets M3G120 to 53733. I immediately got back an SMS asking me to send a confirmatory text M3G120Y to 53733, which I did. Lo I got a set of 3 configuration messages which I installed ( as soon as I opened the message, one of the options displayed by the phone was Ïnstall”) without problems. It set up AP names such as ” gprssouth.cellone.in”.When I opened Explorer and tried to open a URL – I received an error saying there was no network available. After a few wasted hours – trying out various possibilities, I finally dialled 1503 – the BSNL helpline and manaed to talk to a 3G helpdesk operator.

    After listening to my story – he very simply asked me to delete all the configurations installed under Settings —> Network Settings– >Connections. After this he asked me to send an SMS with the manufacturer and my full phone model number ( viz. SAMSUNG GT-S5603) to 58355. This I did and promptly got back an SMS saying that the format was wrong. It gave some examples that did not indicate what i had sone wrong, but I sent back an SMS with only the basic info ( SAMSUNG S5603 ) to 58355. I immediately received 3 configuration SMSes – which I installed- and 2 info messages. Three connections were set up “bsnlnet, bsnllive and bsnlmms” and the 3G+ in the upper status bar lit up.

    I opened my browser and typed out a URL and Voila ! I was up and going !

    Am yet to test speed and coverage, but reports from a couple of friends using it, report that the service is very satisfactory in urban areas.

    Key takeaways from the experience :
    1. You do not need to change your sim card – unless your phone needs a micro-sim ( like IPad 3G does ), nor do you have to take a new number.

    2. The personnel in the “visible”offices ( Customer Service Centers etc. ) have different info from those in the ” invisible office”( viz. the Helpdesk in the call center ). So there is still some extra effort involved to discover the simple SMS that is expected to trigger the magic that is 3G. I would say – call the Helpdesk on 1503 – on the first sign of trouble. They seem to have faced a lot of these situations and have ready solutions.

    3. Lastly, you need to experiment a little bit to figure out the format of SMS giving details of the manufacturer and model of the phone to 58355. The SMSes to this number are not charged.

    Cheers

    Thanks John Doe. After a lot of frustrating experimentation and useless conversations with helpline, I put the handset number which came as example in the sms. I got the settings and installed. But still not able to browse internet.

    BSNL 3G data card is THE WORST

    I am from Nagpur. I bought this BSNL 3G data card a month ago with unlimited plan. When I saw demo I got impressed with the speed, closed other 2 connections and purchased this. I don’t remember a day when it didn’t disconnected within 10 to 15 mins and every now and then since 4-5 days. Its not that I live in interior parts where there may be chance of week signals. I tested on various machines also but the same.
    I am a freelance web developer and can’t do without internet. BSNL 3G has ruined my business. I am losing money and clients like anything. There is no one to hear with this people. No one picks up the call at customer support number and no one takes any action you give any written complaints.

    Guys stay away from this BSNL 3G data card otherwise you will just be helpless and pulling your hairs and go bald soon. This people are fooling us by selling useless products. I am posting this message on as many blogs as I can so as I can prevent some people form getting cheated by these people.

    Hi Guys,

    i am from hyderabad.

    Finally i tested bsnl 3g by buying a sim cost 59/- with FRC 120 /- and got good amount of freebies 150 Rs talk time(6 months valid), 100 video call min, 2000 local/national sms, 1 week 3g unlimited download after that 200mb of download.

    Bsnl is offering 1 week 3g unlimited as a promotional offer for 90 days started from 01 Nov, go and grab it soon to test it :)
    I am using samsung monte s5620 mobile, download is amazing using torrent and poor while browsing and streaming videos. I am getting an avg speed of 250KBps(2Mbps) in torrent. I am able to download a movie of 700mb in less than 1hr. Upload speed is very less.

    pros:
    1) downloading torrent with amazing speed.
    2) watching tv on mobile
    3) streaming on mobile youtube sites and browsing on mobile.

    cons:
    1) browsing internet using pc is not that good compared to regular broadband connection.
    2)Upload speed is very less, webcam chat will not be that good compared BB.
    3) Can’t play games running on servers because ping is very high reaching 250.

    I tested using bluetooth bt laptop and mobile, both dl/ul is very less almost gprs speed, better use datacable.

    Connection settings:

    use apn : bsnlnet
    phone no:*99***1#

    done with my comments.

  113. susanth says:

    It seems most of them are facing problem connecting the samsung monte to pc either by cable or bluetooth.

    I am here to help you out.

    Send sms samsung s5620 to 58355 to get the settings on your mobile. New sim is by default 3g activated. If you dont have settings just create a new connection in ineternet profiles with bsnlnet as apn name leaving the remaining things blanked.

    Cable :

    Make sure that you have installed Kies or monte modem driver. Kies by default installs the modem driver. If you are not able to install kies,try to format your system and install it again. Once the kies is installed try to create a new phone connection with isp name as bsnlnet and phone no *99***1# then connect your mobile and connect to internet.

    Bluetooth:

    Control panel > Phone and Modem Options select bluetooth modem then properties > Advanced tab then give Extra settings value as at+cgdcont=1,”ip”,”bsnlnet”,”",0,0

    If you face any problem drop me a mail @ cvsusanth@gmail.com

  121. It strange to inform you that a lot of advertisements regarding net on mobile phone are being given. Messages are being received on mobile regarding activating GPRS and providing net service. I have got 98 pack on trial basis on telephone No. 94186-45289 and got settings in your customer care centre Kasumpti Shimla. Internet is working on phone, but I am not able to connect it to PC. The customer care no. of bsnl is time and again intimating that GPRS settings will be sent but I am not getting the same for the last more than 15 days. I have Nokia 3110 with me. I think with this message I can express my grievances and will be able to get the required services.

    BSNL has started to cheat people. They will give you a 3G unlimited plan and suddenly change into a limited one without informing the customers. My bill came upto Rs20,000 in six days. I took a 3G unlimited plan of Rs1359 in the month of Dec, 2011. Every month I was paying around Rs1800. But in the March, 2011, I was shocked to get a bill of Rs20,000. After enquiring in the BSNL office, they simply said that the plan has changed to 15GB and I have to pay the money. This is pathetic.

  159. You can definitely see your enthusiasm in the work you write. The arena hopes for even more passionate writers such as you who are not afraid to mention how they believe. At all times go after your heart.

  160. Definitely consider that that you stated. Your favourite justification seemed to be on the web the easiest factor to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked at the same time as people consider concerns that they plainly do not recognise about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the highest and also outlined out the whole thing without having side effect , folks could take a signal. Will probably be again to get more. Thanks

  161. Hello, Neat post. There’s a problem along with your web site in internet explorer, may test this? IE still is the marketplace leader and a big part of people will leave out your magnificent writing due to this problem.
