Just change the DNS server from your mobile provider to the OpenNIC one. It especially works with Indian gprs providers. Mine is BSNL and after using this small tip the speed has dramatically gone up. I even can listen to Internet radio on my phone now. This should work on any mobile the below tip is for windows mobile, but if you dig into the settings of your gprs connection and find the DNS server which will be blank. Just change them as mentioned below and watch your internet speed go up on your mobile.Update
Now using google dns which is much faster DNS 8.8.8.8 and Alt DNS is 8.8.4.4 more about this here
For Windows Mobile Pocket PC- From the Start Menu, select ‘Settings’, then select the ‘Connections’ tab- Select the ‘Connections’ option- Select the first of the two ‘Manage Existing Connections’ options- Highlight your GPRS Internet connection, and click edit- Click ‘Next’- Click ‘Advanced’- Click ‘Servers’- Click ‘Use specific server address’ and enter DNS as ‘217.115.138.24′, Alt DNS as ‘83.217.93.246′. You can leave both WINS settings as ‘0.0.0.0′ at this stage.- Click ‘OK’- Click ‘Finish’I forgot the site where I found this trick, i would have happy linked to it if knew what the URL was…

Hello Prasanth,I have a Dell pocket pc.I browse internet on it with an airtel gprs on SE K700i.Recently I got a nokia N73 phone and I have BSNL gprs activated.I want to browse internet with the nokia phone but could not do so till date.I used *99# for the SE phone .What is the Thread for n73.Could you help me out in this issue.With regardsBalachandran
The best way to get the bsnl Gprs setting on your nokia n73 is to go to http://cellone.in/cellone_msp.htm and click onthe region you are from and give your mobile number and bsnl will send you the settings in an sms and just install thosesettings when the sms’s arrive.be careful about using gprs unless you have unlimited account you will be paying 20 Rs for 1 mb of data usuage.
Can any body share complete Settings from start to configure BSNL GPRS on mobile which has Windos Mobile OS 5. All the instructions I found are only part and not full
Go to this page http://cellone.in/cellone_msp.htm and from there click on the “Basic details of Device Settings for Manual Configuration” and it will give you the details you want.Good luck, i am using gprs on my pocket pc so it works, just give the right settings.

reply to Vijayyou might have only given the wap configuration.go here http://cellone.in/ds.htm and get the gprs configuration and it into the connection settings and the opera mini etc should work fine.the nokia browser is working because it using wap and not gprs. once you put in the gprs configuration all the other things should work.good luck.thankyouprasanth
Hey I’m using a nokia 6600. Ummm where exactly do I find the above mentioned DNS server settings?
hey dude will you please say me which is the best and low priced camera mobile in tamilnadu
there are so many cheap and good camera phones out there. there are few below 5000 Rs from nokia and sonyericson but after buying them you will want more so go for a bit costlier like 7000 – 10000 Rs range and you can get good camera phones. if you want good camera go for sonyericson. style go for motorola.Some of the phone you should look at are nokia n70,n72 etc sonyericson k750i, k790, k810i, w800i

Hello Prasanth,Namskari have pocket pc xda orbit.i want my ppc connect with wifi modem but i can not connect my ppc …how can i connect my ppc with my bsnl huawei modem..pl help me
Hey thanks a lot. Tried changing the DNS server settings but didn’t see too much of a difference. I think the technique might work but my phone does have the limitation of being a gprs 6 class device, so I guess the tweak couldn’t really do much.Thanks anyway!
reply to Kamalfirst of all try to find out what protocol does bsnl huawei modem use802.11a802.11b802.11g802.11y802.11ngo here to read about these protocols http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11Your O2 XDA Orbit has wifi with this protocol Wi-Fi 802.11b/gSo If your modem supports this protocol only then it will work.if they are the same just find out what ip does you connection have andput those in the wifi settings and you are good to go.i have not tried the wifi on my pocket pc just to let you know.good luckthank youprasanth

thanks for ur reply but the problem is that i am not able 2 browse any websites.can u plz help me out i am using airtel.i want GPRS,proxy settings etc.
reply to moizit looked around the airtel site.and couldn’t find the settings for you windows mobile.the best option would be to call the call center and getthe settings from them.or email them at here 121@airtelindia.comIts so confusing. there is no mention of gprs service itscalled airtel live or something and its very complicated.On bsnl you pay 200 Rs etc on your post paid mobileconnections and you are good to go and they even havea site to get the settings.Good luck.
thx plz tell me for bsnl plan of rs199 per month do we get charged for surfing websites
reply to moizThe 200 Rs will get you unlimited gprs usuage. That means unlimited website browsing and email checking etc.To get this you have to be a post paid customer and agree to a one of their post paid planssee here http://bsnl.co.in/service/cellular_cellone_allplan.htmget the Plan-325 and ask for gprs unlimited option see herehttp://www.bsnl.co.in/service/tariff_cellone_option_postpaid.htmwhen getting the connection. You will get a minimum 500 Rs bill per month with this plan. And aditional charge for your phone calls.good luckthank youprasanth
hi Parasanthi am using nok 6020 as a modem with airtel gprs in haryana but its speed is very slow i got just 3-5 downloading speed.i charged 299 per month for mobile office by airtel.they says that they provided speed up to 115.2 kbps & downloading 52 kbps.then where is problem with me to get high speed.plz help me …
HI Prashant, thanks for Good stuff. Can u tell something to Boost up GPRS speed of N6233.I’m using CA-53 Cord & Mozilla Browser, but still very Less speed is getting. Do something & send me a solution on nashikar@gmail.comThanks in advance.
You are using it on your pc.It is a slow connection there is not much we can improvebecause the connection itself is slow.the gprs trick works well if you are using web on your mobile.still try and change the dns setting on your pc.go to https://www.opendns.com/start and they will tell you how to change thethank youprasanthprasanthtech.blogspot.com
reply to ajuI heard that airtel doen’t allow you to change your dns in that case there is not much we can do.115.2 kbps connection means only 14 kb speed.that is when its working at full strength which it never will.That is the big fraud everyone falls for. we think the connectionwill be around 115 kb but we only get 14 kb because its115 kbps kilobits per secondand not115 KBps kilobytes per secondEven 14 kb is good enough for browsing but if you can’tchange the dns you will not get that speed. you will onlyget 5 – 10 kb.Since airtel doen’t allow you to change the dnsthere is not much we can do.
Hi there again Prasanth!I really don’t know if this is the right forum but I wanted to ask your opinion, which would be better you think, a nokia 5700 or a nokia n80 given that their prices are now close to each other. I want a phone thats got a fast processor, stability, blazing internet speed (at least class ten gprs being a required option here, since i work in a remote area in the northeast where bsnl is my only form of connection to the outside world:-)), good talk time, a decent camera and something sturdy since we guys tend to keep our phones in our pockets with all the keys etc…Or could you suggest other viable options in the sub Rs. 14000 range?
Hey thanks in advance. Was in such a hurry to post, forgot my manners. Lol!!!
reply to banshan ktry this link to see the comparison betweennokia 5700 and nokia n80http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone2=1347&idPhone1=1936Here is my take on both of those devices.Nokia 5700 : twist the keypad for camera and other features. has A2DP so you can use wireless earphones to listen to your music. only had a 2 mega pixel.Nokia n80 : its a slider has 3 meaga pixel camera but no A2DP. has a bigger screen that the 5700.So hope that is easier for you to decide now.i would go for nokia n80 .if you are into smartphone then have a look athttp://www.cafegadgets.com/product_detail.php?cat_id=173&product_id=547&pid=172thank youprasanth
Pls help me.am using nokia 6230i and airtel mobile office (gprs)for internet,only 2-3 kbs download speeds.can you help me to improve the browsing speed with open DNS!
reply to Losanas far i know from other users airtel doesn’t allow you to change the dns servers so you can’t change them.try operamini.com and download the operamini browser which is free it will help a lot and don’t forget if you don’t have unlimited bandwidth be careful the bill will be huge at the end of the month.good luck
I have been using opera mini since 2006,also the new opera beta feels very superfast.but got slow perfomance when connecting pc with usb.actualy that’s my problem.Anyway thanks for the advice,you have been very helpful for us.keep up the good work.
reply to LosanWhile connecting to the pc too you can’t change the dns because airtel doen’t allow you to.And those are the kind of speeds you will get on a gprs connection.
browsing speed will increase
Yes it will increase the browsing speed.this is what i know, the mobile companies provide slow dns server to mobile users in order to slow them down. So that they only use small amount of bandwidth.So if you use other dns server you will get fast service.And i have noticed really big difference in my mobile browsing speeds after the dns change.i am using Bsnl.i heard that Airtel doesn’t allow this change.i also have changed it on my reliance data card and there too the connection seems faster after the change.Good luck

Hi Prasanth,I’m using Nokia N72 and I enabled GPRS on it from BSNL. I can access internet through the mobile. But when trying to connect internet by my laptop (Compaq with nuilt in bluetooth) using the mobile phone(via bluetooth), its failing to register my laptop on the net. Please help..(Its saying that the connection parameters are wrong)Reply from prasanthAs far as i know i think you need to connect the nokia n72with cable to your laptop. I don’t think the mobile modeminternet connection works on bluetooth.Try the cable that came with nokia n72, and also look for amodem driver in the cd’s you got with the n72.Don’t expect huge speeds only as good or even slowerthan dail up.
hi Prasant,i have BSNL WLL connection (phone model AXW L800 from Acexxtel) and applied for internet facility plan250. But i dont have data cable..no body knows what data cable to use…even BSNL Staff dont know how to use. i m from Guwahati.Reply from Prasanth As far i know i don’t think you can find data cable for thosephones. Just use line out and connect that phone jack to yourmodel port on pc. I think you can only use it with bsnl dial upconnection and not as a gprs modem.I am not sure how you would use gprs on this kind of phone. youneed a normal phone that comes with data cable. And also if youplan to buy a phone first ask them and make sure it can be used asmodem because not all phone have this facility.You will only get around 6kb or so speed with gprs.So why not go for the broadband connection.
Dear PrashantPl give tips to enhance gprs speed.I m using Sony ericsson k510i / nokia 3230 with cellone(BSNL) post paid connection to connect invernet on Vista on my pc. Presently I m getting maximum speed to 6kbps.RegardsReply from PrasanthI think that is a good speed. Try changing the dns on your mobile and on your pc and see it that helps. go to http://www.opendns.com for and there you can find tutorials on how to change the dns on pc and on mobile.
hi prasanth,, thanks for the infrmtn.. is it possible in idea gprs?..keep posting,,,Reply from Prasanth I have no idea, try it out and let me know so that i can put it online for othersif it doen’t work just remove the settings and you should be fine.
sir, i m using airtel gprs connection on my pc but its very slowhow to increase the speed of internetsend me on ajit007in@yahoo.comReply from Prasanth Airtel doesn’t allow dns changes so you are stuck. There is not muchyou can do to change the situation.
sir i hav a nokia n70 having a bsnl postpaid connection and i ahv and internet plan of rs.199 now i can use the internet on my mobile but not on my pc i want to know why i hav tried with data cable also plz sent the answer on aga_abbass@yahoo.co.inReply from Prasanth 1. Connect the mobile via the data cable you got with the phone.2. Get the modem software from the cd that you received when you bought phone.3. the give your username and password and click connect.And that should help you connect. Remember to allow this connection through firewall etc.If after doing all these if it doesn’t connect i can’t help you mush after that because there are too many things that could be causing the problem so hope you understand.
Hi Prashant, i just changed the DNS server in my Airtel mobile office settings, but the speeds are still the same. i use the nokia e61 and connect to my Laptop through bluetooth dongle(Microsim – Class 1). Can DNS settings be added in Browsers as well.Reply from Prasanth No it can only be added to the connection settings. You can use a proxy to connect and change the settings there. But since you are telling me that there is not much improvement i think its not going to be much useful.
I was also among one of those persons who thought the airtel gprs connection is a pityful thing to subscribe to. But after subscribing to it, i am totally pleased like something. Exploiting all of the online resources, i have finally made my airtel connection bandwith enough to download over 10 gb(clear 10 gigabytes) per month. My download speed never concentrates around 5-6 kbite/s. I get a slow but faster (relative to other airtel gprs users) download speed of 11kbite/sec (averaged through uniform 3 hour downloading) which is 200% faster than my neighbourhood gprs users . My download speed varies from 8-20 kbps a day on my n70. The speed is sometimes 35kbps for instants on my pc. Well i am busy currently working on a major speed boosting activity by understanding the leaks in airtelgprs.Com. Anyone interested in boosting his airtel or giving some more airtel tweaks to me/sharing a rapidshare premium account in favour of my service/making money online for no labour can post me at adityara_2@yahoo.Co.In. -Thanks to prasanth for the not working tip.Reply from Prasanth I could so easily delete this comment. But here is what i have to say.Even on the best network getting 20kbps is hard. My phone after all the tweaks can only get 16 kpbs that too not always. But that is what I expect from a mobile gprs connection.If you have proof of getting that speed you claim then send me a screenshot of your speed test then I will believe you, you also have to show that you are using airtel.If you look at the comments most of the people who are complaining are airtel customers. I use bsnl so I have nothing against airtel because its not available in my area and they have no unlimited plan. I just pay 200 Rs for my unlimited bsnl plan how much do you pay.Good luck with your phone.
Thank u prashant for speed booster but can u suggest how to o2 xda2 mini to pc i have bsnl pre connectionReply from Prasanth 1.Get the modem driver from the cd you got when you bought the o2.2.on your windows mobile in programs there is a program called modem link run it.3.Connect o2 to the computer with cable. And start the modem driver give you user and password and connect that’s it.Good luck.
Hi prashant , I m using nokia 3230 with airtel mobile office in uttar perdesh my friend has using nokia 6630 he got 20 kbps with m.o but i got 1.35 to 2.65 kbps plse help to increase my m.o speedReply from Prasanth Sometimes the speeds depend on the number of mobiles in an area. It could be because the area your friend is has less people using net on mobile while in your are there could be more.Why not try your mobile in your friends area and see if you too get the same speed. If so then it should be the area problem. Not all the places in a city get same speed. Similarly like when many people at a place use mobiles they get busy signal.Then only trick i can tell is to change the dns. which you read in the above blog story.
how do increase the speed ? i am using N70 and connection i have taken through data cable to my pc using win xp..Reply from Prasanth Try changing the dns on your connetion setting on computer. And also change the dns on your mobile connection settings. Go here http://www.opendns to find out how.

hi prasanth. Very interesting site u have here. Read one of yourcomments that Airtel does not have a free GPRS broadband scheme(AIRTEL Kerala atleast). Well, they do have one and I subscribe to it. I thinkit costs Rs.2,500 a year. Speed is not bad average 4-6 Kbps. Sometimessustains at 10-13 Kbps and spurts to 30-40Kbps for a few seconds.Ofcourse there are bad moments too when the speed drops drastically. I useNokia 6230i and was looking to enhance speed to a steady 15 or so Kbps.Thats how I found your site. It didnt help me much but I atleast found outthat there are some limitations with Airtel and the dns thing. Keep upthe good work. Good luck.DeleepReply from Prasanth Thanks for talking time to write such a detailed comment aboutairtel. It good to know that they have a gprs offer.But its sad that they don’t allow users to change dns to a faster onelike the open dns.I am using iphone on my bsnl cellone gprs and its quite fast at 19kbit/sec.
i have 6270 nokia with 299 plan postpaid connection gprs but connectionspeed low and downloding speed somtimes extremely low, i am fromkashmirReply from Prasanth Its good to know that its working in that part of india too.But as you said the speeds are very low. Try changing dns and see if that helps.

And they might be ableto fix it. You might not get that much help with customer care.

Hi Prasanth,How r u?I really need your help very badly. I have Sony Ericsson W200i phone with cellone sim. I am In bangalore. The difficulty is that i could not use GPRS. I activated it and got relevant settings also. still i could not do it.Please help me.Awaiting for your reply.With regardsAmmuReply from Prasanth First of tell me if you have post paid or prepaid.If you have per paid you should have at least 50 Rs inbalance for the gprs to work.If you have post paid then you have to go to the celloneoffice to activate the gprs because you have to choosea plan etc.see herehttp://www.bsnl.co.in/service/tariff_cellone_option_postpaid.htm#gprsIt takes 24 hours or to activate the gprs.If gprs is activated you will see a small G symbol in the phonesmain display next to the mobile signal symbol.There are so many things that could be wrong the settingsgprs not activated etc. So its hard to help like this.hope you understand

how to increase airtel gprs speed in nokia 6020.Reply from Prasanth There is not much you can do with airtel. They don’t allow dns changes. Read the comments there are plenty of tips for improving speed.
I to 3kps.I havegot a decent speed with airtel mobile office in my n70 at bangalore but back kerala my browsing speed falls to 3kps.I have tried all types of optimizers,but all went in vain.Is it b’coz of my usb2 drivers as I’m having some windows signed drivers or is it b’coz of any tweak I’m really missing.Plz help meReply from Prasanth My problem was the opposite. When i am in cities, i get bad speed. But out of cities i get good speed.Since you tried all the tweaks, the only thing i can think of is may be your are using someone else network because airtel doesn’t have coverage in your area. To see this go to the network selection in your mobile and see what cellphone networks it shows. Sometimes the cellphone networks use other companies if they don’t have coverage in your area.The usb drivers should not be a problem because the connection is so slow that it should work even if the driver works half has good.So i have no more ideas.thank youprasanthprasanthtechblog.com
hy, can u have any idea how to speed up my bsnl gprs.i also want to tell u that i am using this gprs by proxy setting (by hacking )so is there any trick or software to speed up this software….PLEASE REPLY…Thanking YouSurya kantaReply from Prasanth Hy you didn’t mention how you were using gprs on mobile or computeron mobile try operamini browser which is free that is the only software that can speed up the connection on mobile.On computer there is not much you can do because the connection is very slow and is not meant to be used on a computer.thank youprasanthprasanthtechblog.com

I am using Airtel Prepaid and I can use GPRS (Kerala) Rs 274 easy recharge unlimited usage for a month. The connection is really slow. 1-3 but it does go, rarely though, to 9 kbps.Wat are the speeds u get on ur BSNL. Any idea bout the other companies?Reply from PrasanthI use bsnl and pay around 200 Rs for unlimited gprs usage. But i also pay 250 minimum as a postpaidcustomer to get the unlimited option. If you look at it that way i think i pay 450 per month to getunlimited gprs on my mobile.The speed you can get on any device or carrier is around 1-10 kbps on gprs. Thats the maximum youcan get on edge which everyone is using. Hopefully 3g will come to India soon and we will get the 2 mbpsdownload speeds.Since i use an iphone as my mobile, the gprs seems quite fast. i use to use windows mobile earlier and i couldnever read big web page or anything for that matter. But with iphone i can read all the site and quite fast atthat too. So if you can get an iphone and you will really enjoy using gprs even at these low speeds of 1-10 kbps.I wish they made it unlimited even when roaming i would pay double what i pay to get that service.thank youprasanthprasanthtechblog.com
I am using nokia n70 with airtel postpaid and gprs enabled.I am getting speed max. upto 6kbps.i want to know how to increase the speed and more about using edge facility on nokia n70.Reply from PrasanthThose are the speeds you get with edge. At times if you are not in a busy area you could get upto15kbps thats the maximum i think.The only way you can increase speed with airtel is by using browsers like operamini which is freelyavailable at operamini.comyou can’t do any other dns tricks because airtel will not allow that.also use mobile sites like m.yahoo.com etc rather than yahoo.comcheck out my mobile site where you can read rss feeds of all the major sites etc. you can get it atwww.prasanthtechblog.com/m/thank youprasanthprasanthtechblog.com
hi you can tell me to increase download speed in airtel mobile office plan . I have nokia 7610 handsetReply from PrasanthYou can’t change the dns settings so use the operamini browser which is very quick.thank youprasanthwww.prasanthtechblog.com
Hello Prashant can you plese point me towards a tutorial to input BSNL GPRS Settings on my iPhone. I am a bit stumped here i have the edge icon activated and all. I just want to know where do i input the DNS Settings.Thanks in advanceReply from PrasanthGo to http://www.cellone.in for the gprs settings.http://cellone.in/ds.htm Go for to select the region you are fromAlso when you get the setting please check the settings for your numberthere are two different settings for different numbers.If all this if confusing tell me which zone you are from and your numberi will give you the settings.All you need is the APN you don’t need other settings just leave them blank.Iphone doesn’t need DNS settings.thank youprasanthhttp://www.prasanthtechblog.com
hi prasan this is hari iam using aitel net that means mobile office and also gprs iam using n73 mobile iam little bit confision y because there are so many people said how to increase the speed and free gprs form airtel but there is no settings as said by them iam little bit confusion please help me replay to my mail plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzReply from PrasanthThere is no way to change the dns settings on an airtel phone. Even if you changeso far what i have heard is that it doesn’t make any difference.For example on the iphone there is no way to put the DNS settings.So all i can tell you is to get the lastest phones and you should see a dramatical increasein speed. There are no tweaks that i know of on airtel that will increase the speed.The old phone have old verison of gprs spec on them so the speed will be slow. For examplethe iphone has amazing speeds. I have a bsnl connection by the way.thank youprasanthhttp://www.prasanthtechblog.com

I am using N73 how to increase the download speed should i change the dns i am using bsnl gprs as u said change the dns provided by bsnl to open one bsnl did not provide any dns address area isblank plizz helpReply from PrasanthAs i mentioned in the blogpost you have to put the dns that i mentioned in the blogpost.

Thanks for the speedy reply prasanth. Appreciate your help i got the GPRS working on my cell. The APN i used was gprswest.cellone.in and the user and pass that i used was my cell no with 91 prefix.
Hi! Prashant. I use Cellone GPRS under 199 plan on my Moto Rokr E6 and check usage by sending sms to 333 at regular intervals. Of late, I find most of the time, the server is under maintenance or bill under preparation and I don’t get the usage details. Is there a way to know our daily usage with break up for call charges and GPRS usage charges, both at home and while roaming?Reply from PrasanthI have an unlimited account so i have not looked into that. The only way i look into the usage is by looking on the usage on my phone. On iphone its quite easy its in the settings. Look in the setting or other phone option there will be a way to check how much bandwidth you are using. That is the fast and best way to tell. Bsnl charges 0.02 Rs per kb which mean if you use 1 Mb you will pay 20 Rs or 2 Rs for 100 Kb. If you use a lot of internet get an unlimited account which only costs 200 Rs for unlimited per month.thank youprasanthhttp://www.prasanthtechblog.com

Dear Sir,I have BSNL broadband connection with Wi-Fi Modem. I want to connect the broadband via Wi-Fi to my windows 6 mobile phone. Can you please tell me the settings.Reply from PrasanthFirst things first try and find out which version is your wifi modem.Read this and see which one of these is your modemhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11#Summaryand same with your windows mobile find out which standard of wifi does it haveif you have the same thing or the “n” standard they will work together.Once you turn the wifi on the windows mobile it should detect the wifi modem thenyou need to enter the password and other details to make it work.If they have the same then its just about setting the ip of you wifi modem into thewifi settings on your mobile. Also make sure you have sharing enabled on your wifimodem etc. Its little complicated to explain in just a post because there are manysmall things that needed to be tweaked right.thank youprasanthhttp://www.prasanthtechblog.com
hi prashant,i want to know that how can i increase gprs speed in my computer. i am usinglgc2500.you have told that changing the dns can increase gprs speed.so i want to know in this context that which dns address will provide faster speed. i am using airtel gprs.i also want to know that which web browser should i use to increase the browsing speed.Reply from PrasanthDns changes can only increase speed a little don’t expect huge increases. Try opendns.com.About which browser to use, try firefox or safari with the latest webkit if you have more technical know how.Also look into opera in which you can easily disable images etc when it gets really slow.thank youprasanthhttp://www.prasanthtechblog.com
Hi Prashant,I am using cellone GPRS. While roaming to a different zone does the APN have to change.Thanks,SrinivasReply from PrasanthNo you don’t need a different apn for cellone while roaming. If your gprs is not working look networking setting and there is an option to turn on gprs while roaming. Change that and its should work.thank youprasanthhttp://www.prasanthtechblog.com
hai prashant,I really need the settings for Airtel Gprs for my Iphone 1.1.4 in India, Kolkata…As i cannot access any site as the Iphone says that could not activate Edge connection + i have activated Airtel Gprs but then also the problem persists….Plzzz try to help meItzz very imp for me to activate Airtel Gprs for my Iphone……..I am asking u bcoz i saw that how u helped all others so I am asking for this important help from you………..Reply from PrasanthI think your problem is that you only activated wap service and not gprs. I think its called mobile office. I heard that some others also had similar problems. And once they asked the mobile office to be activated it started working.wap only works for mobile site, gprs will let you access regular internet. iphone needs gprs.Just put your sim in other phones and try and see if its working there.If thats the problem then only the iphone settings are the problem.As far as i know airtel only need one settings which is the APN.And it is Airtelgprs.com as the APN and it should work. So check thosethings.if you are prepaid look into how much minimum balance you should have etc.Hope these tips will help, since there are so many things that could go wrong i havesuggested all the things i could think of. So look into all of them and hopefully it willwork for you. Its more than worth the effort.thank youprasanthhttp://www.prasanthtechblog.com

Hi Prashanth,I am using Iphone with Airtel network in Bangalore. I activated GPRS and I did fallowing settings in Iphone. APN=Airtelgprs.comUsername= blankPasswords= blank.‘E’ symbol also showing in blue color on top of my screen.Still I am not able to access Internet with my Iphone.I am getting fallowing error Message. “Could not activate EDGE: you are not subscribed to EDGE, Please help me.Thanks in Advance,RamaReply from PrasanthSince you have not given me more details here are the things to check for.1. Always restart your iphone by switching it off and turning it back on when entering new settings.2. On airtel there is an opiton where wap is activated so make sure gprs is also activated3. Check if gprs is working in your area, Sometimes it could be down and will take a week orso to get fixed. So check with other users.4. Put your sim in other phones and check if gprs is activated or not5. The settings you have are the only settings needed.There is a small button for data roaming turn it on and off and try.Once you do all these you should have the iphone working, if not take it to the dealer where you bought it.thank youprasanthhttp://www.prasanthtechblog.com

Dear Prashanth,Iam using iphone 1.1.4 with ideacellular GPRS. could you pl tell me how to increase the gprs speed?Reply from PrasanthI don’t think there is a way to get any faster connection on the iphone. Its already quite fast due to safari browser. If you want to get a speed bump go to the setting from there go to general settings and from there to safari settings and remove java scripts, images etc to improve speed. Mind you if you remove java most of the mail site will not work.Also stick to mobile site when you can.Try this site which i made for my own use it loads all the major sites quite fast.www.prasanthtechblog.com/iphone/thank youprasanthhttp://www.prasanthtechblog.com

hey prashant .. i m from mumbai….i have problem with my airtel gprs .when i connect to my friends pc at that time i got 15-20 kb/s and when i connect 2 my pc i only get 2-4kb/s maximum is 4…why is this happening??????so how can i get 15-20kb/s…….?Reply from PrasanthThere are lot of reason this could be happening. Try and look into some these.Do you both live in the same are. If no that could be the reason because not all the areas in the city are the same. Some might have less users, some many. If many people use it the speeds will go down.Did you try at the same time of the day that could also be the reason.Also these speeds could when downloading something and not just browsing. you too could get those speeds by using some downloader program when downloading stuff. Try flashget which is free and quite good.So look into all these one of the could be the reason.Also try and change the dns in the connetions settings to open dns do a search on this blog about dns to get those details.thank youprasanthhttp://www.prasanthtechblog.com

hi this is aruni just want to know that eBIZ.com Pvt Ltd is a fraud or legalplz response for my answer!thank you.Reply from PrasanthIt looks like a fake company just because the url and the company name are different how can any company big enough have a url like ebiz and company name as infra data.If you are trying to get training or deal with this company look at their clients list and only if you are satisfied do contact them. But its always better to get training from a company that you can go to and ask questions rather than an online company which could vanish within minutes.thank youprasanthhttp://www.prasanthtechblog.com

Dr Prashanth,I am new here. Presently using Idea gprs Rs.9 per day plan. Will obtain BSNL WLL soon, Rs.250 per month. How will be the comparison, on speed and performance?Reply from PrasanthBy the way its only 200 Rs for GPRS but you will end up paying around 450 Rs because you also have to choose a voice plan with it. Since its a postpaid connection you will not be able to use that 250 Rs. Just wanted to tell you before you go ahead.So think of it as 450 Rs for unlimited GPRS and what ever you talk on the phone as extra.About the speeds all of them provide same speed not that fast, but quite okay if you want to browse the internet.thank youprasanthhttp://www.prasanthtechblog.com

Hi Prakash Sir..I am using Vodaphone GPRS in Chennai with my Edge enabled Nokia 6681 connected to my laptop through cable….however i do get an average speed between 4 to 6 KBPS only..Would you be kind enough to let me know how to increase the internet speed to atleast double what i am getting now..how to do with the DNS….Does Vodaphone allow their users to change into an Open DNS.?thankyou very much for all your valuable suggestions and advice …regards…joe…Reply from PrasanthSorry to tell you this but there is nothing much you can do to increase the speed.All i can think of is use some software like a download manager to get all thedownloads. That will increase the speed during downloads.For browsing i don’t think dns change alone will help.Even with a data card and plan. i can also only get around 10 kbps while browsing. But by using programs like flashget i can get 20 kbps while downloading.sorry couldn’t help you muchthank youprasanthhttp://www.prasanthtechblog.com
I hve nokia3230 with “IDEA GPRS” IN NEW DELHI, i m using inertnet via blutooth on pc i increased my brousing speed 115.2-921.6 kbps, by changing some setting properties. my downloading speed is around 5-15 KB/s with flashget, but here some confusions, my actual speed is 115.2kbps and its dn is apprx. same and i want to know if my brousing is increased then my dn speed why not increased.i have xp sp2 , oprea 9.27, firefox3, dap 8.7,and here i want to tell u that my pc is p3 1ghz . can system affect on speed?please help me if u have any idea for my problem.and i wnat some yours valuble tips to increase my internet speed as much as possible.thank you very muchAMARReply from PrasanthThe 115 kbps speed means you will only get around 15 kb. 115 is bits per second the companies use that number because it makes it look bigger. Even on 512 kbps broadband you will only get 60 kb speed.So using the internet through mobile will only get your that speed.When you run a speed test it shows you 115 – 900 kbps but that is actually only 10 – 20 kbps. Using browsers you can disable flash that will stop the ads from loading incresing you speeds a bit.But if you really want higher speeds going broadband is the only option.You computer is fine using internet .thank youprasanthhttp://www.prasanthtechblog.com

my friend uses airtel prepaid gprs plan of 250 and can have good voice chat………..can u help me that how can i do voice chat through cellone Rs.197 gprs plan also ????Reply from PrasanthAs far as I know there is no program that allows voice chat on mobile. He could be using program like skype or something. But those are too slow to work mobile GPRS connection.Either your friend is faking it or using some other service like http://www.sabsebolo.com etc and using thePhone to call people.Some services give you special numbers that you can call to make cheaper calls not free calls.Do ask your friend and let me know what program he using on which mobile.Thank youPrasanthtechblog.com
i am new here. currently having airtel broadband connection. plans to change to airtel usb modem connection.can you tell me which one is better?Reply from PrasanthUSB modem is quite slow when you compare it with broadband. USB modem will be useful, if you travel a lot. If you don’t travel with your Internet then broadband is the best option for speed.USB modem is half as fast as 256 Kbps broadband, it gives around 150 Kbps. Which is around 10 kb.Thank youPrasanth

PrasanthTell how much speed u get before changing dns setting. I am in tamilnadu. For gprs connection which handset is best. Or any kind of handset i buy. Reply me to me/email me.PrakashReply from PrasanthThis DNS trick only works with bsnl phones. Others have good DNS settings and some don’t even allow DNS change. DNS will increase your browsing speeds. I can’t give you exact speed numbers. But it will increase upto 2 to 3 Kbps more than what you get. The speed will increase hugely rather than showing connecting to site it just gets you the site. Makes the waiting times a lot smaller. You can also go back to what you have now so give it a try. If it makes an difference use the settings or go back to the old settings.Thank youPrasanth

Hello Prashant, I am having samsung G600. its airtel GPRS Enabled. By default the DNS is 0.0.0.0…Should I change these no. to those given by you to increase speed or are there any other no for this..please reply..Reply from PrasanthYou didn’t mentioned which carrier you are using. If its Airtel there is no advantage or it doesn’t work. If its bsnl you will definitely see a speed increase. There is no harm in trying so put the dns and if it doesn’t work or you don’t see a speed increase, just put it back to where it was.Thank you
Dear Prashant, I am using EDGE enabled SAMSUNG SGH-J210 model which is new one. It has bluetooth too. I am using BSNL postpaid rs.99 plan. I like to go for BSNL GPRS 199/- plan. I am totally confused about the term UNLIMITED of 199 plan. What does it mean exaactly? Can I DOWNLOAD unlimited and UPLOAD unlimited? OR shall I be charge for both upload and download in addiiton to Rs.199 .? And how to connect to my PC using bluetooth dongle (DUN)? Now i am able to connect through data cable.Reply from PrasanthAbout bsnl post paind 199 Rs plan it offers unlimited gprs. Which means you can download and upload as much as you want. From computer and even from mobile, but the speeds are only around 5-10 k so it will not be that fast. This only works when you are not roaming, when you are roaming you will have to pay the normal price of data usage. Bsnl charges 20 Rs per 1 mb so if you use more than 5 to 10 mb per month going unlimited would be a nice idea, but i read about your phone, can it install apps if so then get the opera browser which will make browsing so much easier. If you can’t install apps hope what ever browser comes with the phone is a good one. If you are using it to get online through computer then i think the it doesn’t matter.About bluetooth its not that reliable and most of these device only connect to computer through cable, and blue tooth can only be used for head sets.Thank you
hi prasanth i use postpaid bsnl gprs connection(unlimited 199/month plan) with nokia 5300 model to connect 2 internet via PC with USB my normal download n browsing speed is veryslow can u tell me how to increase the speed?*step wise plzReply From PrasanthUsing the gprs connection from a mobile to browse is slow. You can only get a maximum of 10 kbps.Which is very slow, I am guessing you are using Nokia pc suite to do this.That could help a bit, also try and disable all the programs that are on your pc that try to use internet to check for updates.Like virus scanners and other program. Almost all the programs use the internet now a days so try and open only the program you need.Thank you for taking time to comment
sir ,iam using nokia 2700 classic handset and aircel pi is very slow on my pc (via cable)give suggestions to speedup my internetReply From PrasanthThere is no easy way to increase your speed. The best you can get with this method is the speed of a dial up connection at best of times.You could buy a costlier mobile with latest gprs specs like gprs class 10 etc. But it would be cheaper to buy a usb wireless modem that many providers are offering now. And they also have cheap plans for unlimited bandwidth.Those are much better options than this method.Thank you for taking time to comment
HiI am using Videocon GPRS in my compaq presiorio laptop but it’s speed is very low. anyone has any trick to icnrease the internate speed?Reply from PrasanthThe above dns trick could help, but if you really want higher speeds get a usb modem. They offer pretty good speeds at 50 kbps
Hi! prasant. how can i increase my aircel pocket internet speed on pc. my current download speed is 4-5 kb. my mobile is sony ericsson k510i.Reply from PrasanthI recently tried using a bsnl 3g usb modem with aircel sim and i got good speeds. Websites were loading fast, video was still slow.It could be used to check mail and browse the net quite fast.May be you should try this. By using phone to tether you are using the slow processor in the phone so usb modem would help.you could get 15 kb or so don’t expect broad band speeds for that get 3G data cards.prasanth

if you don’t know how to, tell me which sim you are using and i will tell you how to get the settings for your network.
Operamini automatically detects the settings so once you get the correct settings it should work.
sir,
i have nokia 6600 with opera mini software but its spead is very slow now a day and setting of opera mini is automatically convert to http from socket now i can unable to rechange what i do please help me.
Even if you change the socket settings it will not help because every site you browse on opera mini comes from opera servers where its optimized for speed. So changing the dns will not help.
Hi Prasanth,
I am using Acer liquid A1 phone and tether it to my laptop. however the speed is dead slow.
Could you please help me with the settings?
Regards,
Vinay
It depends on how you are tethering the phone, if you are using bluetooth it will be slow. Its faster if you use wifi or wired tether.
Also you will only get dial up speeds with a 2G sim, even after using 3G if you are getting slow speeds.
The above mentioned dns tip is the only one i can think of
Hi Prashant,
i am using vodafone GPRS on iphone 3gs in pune region (maharashtra),

hai prashant, could plz tell how to increge the net speed for my mobile my mobile model is nokia 7610 and i tried almost all network connects i.e. reliance, docomo,aircel etc but some how i could not get the proper result for the speed mostely when i connected to my pc so plz help to find some good solution to solve this problem. regards ravi.
That’s an old mobile you can’t get much speed with that.
Its better to go with a data card to get good speeds.
If you can get a 3G data card go with that. Look into bsnl landline broadband they are very cheap now.
Its hard to get higher speeds with nokia 7610 because it only works with 2G sim. You can get 20 kbps and it takes 10 hours for 100 MB.
Hello Prashant i’m using idea net setter with idea 2g sim would u plz tell me how to get the maximum surfing and downloading speed out of it…
Change the dns to google dns
Only thing you can change.
Also try and disable pictures & flash in browser
prasanth iam using bsnl 3g modem 2g sim. speed up to 20kbps plz how to increase speed……………..
You can’t get more than what you are getting on a 2G sim.
No trick will help because that is the maximum you will get with a 2G sim.
You use a 2G sim for slow but cheap internet. You can get internet for 98 Rs per month but slow at 20 kbps speed.
hey prrasanth pls tell me how i increase my vodafone speed ini ball doungle pls tell me
Dns is the only trick, also disable images and flash.
how can i get 20kB/s speed on my pc.
i m using airtel in u.p.
bluetooth is faster or data cable is faster?
Data cable is always faster compared to bluetooth.
20 Kbps is the best you can get on 2G
My connection is airtel than what should I do to get maximum speed in gprs…
i am using a sony ericsson phone modem, it is very slow and its approximate speed is 5 to 8 kbps.kindly send me a solution for that.
Thanks
nishar
I am guessing you are using a sony ericsson phone as modem.
This method is always slower than dedicated data card.
Changing the dns is the only thing that can help. Also try and use usb don’t use bluetooth to connect.
hi sir i have sumsung c5212 conneting to pc os w7 bsnl gprs , i dont get proper connetion and speed .please help me
I have mentioned all the tips and tricks i know in the comments al ready
hi…prasant!
i have a modem reliance net connect 3G 7.2 mbps and i’m using 2G gprs. My data download rate showing 60 kbps/sec but normally it is working on only 3 kbps/sec and my modem working very slow. Its time to take to open even a homepage of any browser.
If you data download is showing 60 kbps and you can’t even load web pages.
There could be viruses on your system also disable all the apps and only use browser then you will get good speeds.
make sure no updates are being done, if you have antivirus they will do update in the background which will slow you down.
I cannot thank you enough for the article post. Awesome.
thanks for all this advice
