Internet on your mobile

This piece of writing is most suitable to people having Sony Ericsson mobile with GPRS and having Airtel connection. Having internet on your mobile is quite handy and sometimes a great time pass especially for an internet addict person like me. Also it isnt that costly, 10 paisa per 10 kb download which is quite okay. Here I am talking about Airtel, dont know much about other providers, you may talk to Customer Care for futher or more information.

To set up internet first you need to have Airtel Live working. You may call the customer care and ask them to send you the setting, or you may send an SMS “MASALA ACTIVE” to 121, or set the following setting in Settings>>DATA COMM>>DATA ACCOUNTS>>New ACCOUNT>>(name it airtel live or whatever u want)

APN: airtelfun.com

username: 91xxxxxxxxxx (ur mobile number, u may also leave it blank)

password: nill

leave all the rest of the things.

then go to Internet Settings>>New Profile

here set:

Connect Using: aitel live or the name u set in Data Comm

Use Proxy: Yes

Proxy Address: 100.001.200.099

Port Number: 8080

leave all other settings

Restart the phone.

Now Check if you can browse by connecting to Internet in the main menu.

Try connecting google wap site:
