Configuring GPRS for BSNL west postpaid mobile.

So here I am! Writing my first blog.

Intention of this perticuler blog entry is to help other postpaid mobile users in BSNL West in India who want to configure their handsets for GPRS. Please bear in mind that settings are different for prepaid users and also varies for ther regions i.e. North, East etc.

I did this with my Treo 600 handset. GPRS settings are quite generic. I do not know about Nokia and other phones but I guess with little tweaking and trial and error, one can get his/her phone working.

So here are the settings:

Connection type: GPRS
User Name: (keep blank)
Password: (keep blank)
APN: gprswest.cellone.in (This is the most important setting)
IP Address: Automatic
Query DNS: Yes (Check box selected)

Do not use Proxy Server in browser settings.

That's all. There is nothing much to configure on my Treo. Hope this information will be usefull to others.

Once you make sure from BSNL that your GPRS service is activated, Treo really needs only correct APN entry. That's all.

Anyway, if anybody need further help, email me at desai(dot)jm(at)gmail(dot)com
