Earlier I wrote about my difficulty in working with 3G connection. I got a new sim today and I am able to get connected with decent speed. Here is the connection details.

set the APN as gprssouth.cellone.in
Username and password as your 10 digit phone number
no ip no proxy. keep the authentication as none. Select your internet profile as your default. restart for safety. thats it.

With samsung and nokia phones people are able to browse without any issues seems. But I have problem with Omnia. I am facing trouble in indoors. Being a dual mode phone, it automatically switches to Edge or GPRS 2G connectivity.

In addition, please be informed that customer support guys are giving false gprs settings.

finally, I got a lovely gift from BSNL :) test

BSNL released its 3G service after a looooong testing in Coimbatore last week. I been there for the inaugural function. There is a huge mob to collect the free 3G USIM distributed.

I got a new connection yesterday after 1 hour of waiting. video call and Mobile TV is no matter to me, my thing was internet on mobile as any other users rely on Internet for their daytoday activities. I am not able to find a page in chennai telecom or tamilnadu telecom about the GPRS/WAP settings for 3G. Settings given by North Zone BSNL sites are not working. Really it is very complicated to get the reliable information since there is no authenticated information. CUSTOMER CARE 1503 IS USELESS. Customer care people sitting here not able provide the correct information since they don’t have any. Better they can close it !!

Finally I am able to connect with gprssouth.cellone.in as my APN. Then comes the signal quality. Frequently I am getting disconnected from 3G signal. network fails and it really switch VERY FREQUENTLY to G (GPRS), E (EDGE) and 3G. :( finally this is not fruitful for a serious user for professional purpose. We need to wait till it gets matured.
