BSNL has came out with the option of GPRS over the prepaid connection. But difficutlites were faced by many to connect to the Internet. Even the settings that were downloaded from BSNL site failed the phone to connect to the Internet. The following is the actual working settings on aNokia3650 phone so that it would connect through GPRS.

Steps to be followed to browse Internet over GPRS using a BSNL South India Prepaid Connection:

Message “GPRSPRE” (SMS) to 53733.

After sometime (may take up to 48 hrs) a message would be recieved saying that GPRS has been activated for the phone.

Press the menu button of your phone; go to Tools -> Settings -> Connection -> Access Points.

Click on Options. Select New Access Point -> Use Default Settings

Give the following values:

-Connection Name-> BSNL GPRS

- Data Bearer-> GPRS

- Access Point Name-> bsnlsouth

- User Name-> BLANK

- Prompt Password-> No

- Password-> Blank

- Authentication-> Normal

- Gateway IP Address-> 10.31.54.2

- Homepage-> http://bsnl.co.in/

- Connection Security-> Off

- Session Mode-> Permanent

Press Back. A new access point is created now.

Now using the default browser that came with the phone or with the custom browser installed later Internet could be accessed over theGPRS.

If the default browser is used, open it and click on Options, go to settings and select the default access point as BSNL GPRS. Modify the remaining options if needed.

Now this browser can be used to browse the Internet.
