Hey Everybody,
I'm currently traveling Asia and I'm now in Vietnam....
For the past hour, I've been trying to figure out how to activate GPRS using the Mobifone network.
GPRS setting info was hard to come by since everything is in Vietnamese.
Just wanted to share with the Windows Mobile community on how to activate GPRS on Mobifone Vietnam.
First... purchase a Mobifone sim card.... should cost VND 75,000.00.
Next, you'll need to activate GPRS by sending the following text to 994: Dk Gprs
Next.... wait until you get a text back from 994. The text will be in Vietnamese but I believe it says your GPRS is activated.... next thing you'll notice is that you'll now have a "G" icon appear up top telling you that your GPRS is activated.
Next, setup a GPRS connection with the following info:
APN/GPRS access point: m-wap
Username: mms
Password: mms
Proxy Settings:
HTTP: 203.162.21.107:8080
WAP: 203.162.21.107:9201
SECURE WAP: 203.162.21.107:9201
These settings worked for me so don't flame me if I added to little or too much settings
Enjoy
Thanks. Just wanted to confirm it still works as described (16.01.11)
After sending the sms, I only needed the apn, username and password (for android) and 3g was enabled.

awesome, thanks for updating!
i was over there last summer but was using an iphone. i'll have to setup my DIinc2 this time around
I'm in Vietnam now and can also confirm that the settings work. In case others may get confused, you only need to enter one of the proxy settings, not all three that the OP listed (at least on my Dinc2 running 2.2).
also, as a bonus, since I was using my old sim which already had gprs activated from my last trip, I didn't have to activate it again, just punch in the apn settings
Turning on 3G and packages
After the SIM is registered to use GPRS, data still needs to be turned on.
With my Android phone I didn't need to put in an APN. I just texted DATA_ON to 999 and restarted my phone. 3g was then activated.
If you Google mobiphone 3G, choose mobile internet, and click on "giá cước" you can see all the packages you can register for.
Cước thuê bao is the cost in VN dong. Lưu lượng miễn phí is the amount of MB you can download with that package for free. Thời hạn sử dụng is the expiration time to use this amount (ngày = days).
Hope that helps!
I'll thank you properly as soon as I've made enough posts to have a thank you button! I think this is a silly rule - aren't there enough checks to ensure I'm not a spammer already??
Hi,
Boost my thanks meter if you find this information useful. In that way I would know how many people actually used this post to solve their problem.

I am using G1 and I am on Airtel Mumbai.
I have mobile office GPRS.
All I have done is entering APN as airtelgprs.com and all other values as blank and I have my GPRS.....
Couldn't this just have gone in the Big APN Thread?

Hey.... getting the MMS working was my challenge...
Internet just needs the airtelgprs.com APN.
I did not put this in the APN Big thread as there are many users searching for Airtel APN in India and if this becomes a part of a big thread then google would not be able to index it.

Hey your welcome...I had a tough time searching so thought of putting it up so others can get it easily.
Wanted to add one point to my post:
If you have added the APN for Airtelgprs.com and then after exiting the settings add the MMS it sometime wont work on G1. Delete all APN`s and then add both one after other.
Thanks a lot...These settings are useful for iPhone as well.
Hello all,
I've just returned from 3 weeks in India and I used my AirTel SIM card (Rajasthan-sourced) in Jaipur, Agra, Delhi, Cochin, Bangluru, Goa, Mumbai and on many trains.
It worked very well and had excellent coverage. Pretty cheap, too!
Had a devil of a time getting it all started though. Luckily I had a WM6.5 phone that allowed me to use SMS help since the 121 HelpLine was more than USELESS! (English tree prompts kept hanging up on me). Turned out the shop I bought the sim card from neglected to turn on GPRS...
WM6.5 and SMS menus and I had it going in a few minutes.
GPRS activation was the key...
All I put in for the APN was airtelgprs.com and just named it India!
Good luck all.

1)If you have email working now, then it will work whenever you have a data connection.
2)I'm guessing you're going to have to pay for data
3) What does GPS have to do with with EDGE? The google maps application will be able to download the map tiles on whatever connection you have, be it GPRS, EDGE or 3G.
ok thanks a lot..
eagerly waiting for my g1
3g has been just introduced here and data plans are sick vvv costly as of now..

GPS (Global Positioning System) works in India and is free.
GPRS needs to be activated and Airtel has Edge i dont have idea about Vodafone.
Gmail will be setup automatically and so will gtalk.
For MSN and Yahoo you need to download a 3rd Party app.
To configure any pop3 email it has easy steps to configure.
PM me if u need ne help
Oh thanks a lot will need your help later...

Dont play with the Customs Roms without reading the steps.
Follow the steps do ur homework before u start playing the the ROMS
THANKS Mate! You posted these steps back in 2009. These are still helpful now in 2011 when many are using Android devices. Specially the MMS part.
I don't know how you figured out that but my respect for finding out.
On first attempt I simply edited the details and did not delete the APNs. But I had to completely follow the steps by deleting all APNs and so on. Finally it worked.
Also, your decision to create separate thread was right. I came thru Google lookin for "Airtel MMS Settings on Android".
Cheers

Hi.
I've used many, many APN settings over the past 6 or so months, and on top of living in a valley and get really bad data inside my house my APN setting weren't helping matters I've came to realize. If I walk 2 or 3 doors up I get 5 bars and 3g or H getting over 5 MPS. Since I've used these settings, I always have at least between 1 and 3 bars in my house and constant Edge with 3G on and off. This is due to my new APN Settings. With ANY OTHER APN setting I used I would barely ever get a bar in my house and I had to end up putting money on my Fring account, and I tried Truphone too.. they both worked great but I don't want to pay an extra
$10 or $20 a month to make calls from home.With these new APN settings I don't need , (fring,skype,truphone ect..) anymore. Here are the settings if anyone wants them.. Remember, these are for the HTC HD2, running android, T mobile USA PERIOD.. Just Tmo US.. nowhere else..
Name T-Mobile US
APN epc.tmobile.com

On your phone go to Menu > Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Access point names. Once you are there you can edit an existing APN if there is one. If not, press Menu and then you can choose to add a new APN. After you enter all the info for your new APN, press Menu and then save. Go back to home screen, wait a while for your new settings to update and connect, and you should have data!
I keep having issues with mms, in wm i'm able to do it all with out issues. in android, froyosence 3.2, radio is 2.12.50.02_2, when i just input the apn settings given here i was able to receive a mms instantly, however about 2 min later i went to send one and it wont send says "unable to send message Generic Network Failure. What i'm curious about is if the android data plan will make any difference with this issue. it also seams that the issue is not the apn so much as it is mobile data drops connection, however internet browsing forces a connect but it does nothing for the mms.. receive or send. any clues on if switching data plans will fix this or what the issue i need to be looking at is to resolve this issue. thanks

Hmmm, that's a thought. But before you go and shell out the cash for an androiod data plan see if you can borrow a friends sim card that has an android plan and see it works.. better yet, my daughter has an android plan,, I'll use her sim card real fast later today and try it and let you know...If I forget please remind me..

Great Advice!! Walked me thru perfectly, and I don't even know what an APN is
Good Job
I am from Kerala State, India. I very recently purchased a Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc (LT15i) Phone which runs on Android 2.3. I thought I would share this experience of mine with the forum.
I am a Tata Docomo Subscriber and since there is no 3G coverage in my area, I wanted to setup internet (GPRS - 2G) on the Arc. I called Tata Docomo GPRS helpdesk and they gave me some settings. With that settings, I was trying to create an APN and to save that and it was not getting saved at all. I thought that it was a bug. I did some research on internet, but couldnt find any solution. I did came accross the following links, but they were not satisfactory.
http://www.modaco.com/index.php?act=findpost&pid=1076166
http://androidforums.com/nexus-s-support-troubleshooting/301776-apn-fields-setting-problem.html
I did a reset of the phone and still the problem persisted.
The settings given by Tata Docomo GPRS Helpdesk was as under:
Name : TATADOCOMOINTERNET
APN: TATA.DOCOMO.INTERNET
Proxy: <none>
Port: 8080
Usename :<none>
Password:<none>
MMSC:<none>
MMS Proxy: <none>
MMS Port:<none>
MCC : 404
MNC: 40
Authentication Type: <none>
APN Type: <none>
Wherever the <none> thing is given, I was asked to leave the field blank.
After typing all this, I tried to save this information and it was not getting saved. I lost my patience and called Tata Docomo helpdesk again and they gave the same settings. They were not in a position to help further.
I did a factory reset and tried once again. Still It was not getting saved.
I tried some R&D and tried to create another APN.
I gave the following values:
Name : TATADOCOMOINTERNET
APN: TATA.DOCOMO.INTERNET
Proxy: <none>
Port: 8080
Usename :<none>
Password:<none>
MMSC:<none>
MMS Proxy: <none>
MMS Port:<none>
MCC : 405
MNC: 03
Authentication Type: <none>
APN Type: <none>
For MCC and MNC, 405 and 03 were the default values. I actually didnt do any modifications in those columns.
I tried saving it and it got saved. I restarted the phone and it worked. So, the only information required to setup an APN manually is the Name, APN name and Port No. Nothing else and its so simple...
Hope this helps someone....

Unfortunately your helpdesk couldnt help me properly. Would be nice if you could share this info with new customers who takes the pain to call GPRS helpdesk (after learning that long process of reaching there) to findout the settings.

'All Operator APNs | Beta' new Android app by Tweakker
Hi
Tweakker has developed an app that has access to a database of APN settings for more than 600 operators. This gives a total of more than 700 internet APN settings accessible by an easy interface in the application.
Our aim is to once and for all try and eliminate the problems of faulty APN internet settings for Android users. The application installs the settings and checks if a connection can be established. It rolls back to previously installed settings if it can't connect via the APN set up by Tweakker.
You can help make our app better by using the app. It is available in free beta from the Android Market. Just search for Tweakker and you should find it.
Any feedback or problems using the app you should post here and we will get back to you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13648113

According to wikipedia , however the MNC code for kerala - TATA teleservices is 035 instead of your 03 value.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code#I

Anybody having success in setting up Tata Docomo 3G on Google Nexus 4
Hi All.
I just recently got my new Google Nexus 4 from US. I am having trouble setting up 3G on my phone.
Docomo Customer case suggested using the APN name as TATA DOCOMO INTERNET with APN as TATA.DOCOMO.INTERNET and leaving the rest of the settings to default.
Tried all the options of restarting the phone ,turning on /off airplane mode. None worked .
This doesn't work and TATA docomo support doesn't have any clue .Any help is greatly appreciated .

So I ported over my number from AT&T to Simplemobile for the 40 dollar monthly unlimited everything plan. I have everything working except data. I keep trying to change the APN but it's not working. Does anybody know exactly what settings I need to get data to work on the Samsung Focus? My phone is unlocked by the way. Thanks!

What exactly have you tried so far?
Thanks for the reply! Well I've tried using the Samsung Network Profile app, tried changing the APN by naming the APN "simple." I've also tried using the names simplemobile, Simple Mobile, but anyways its not working. Supposedly simple is supposed to work for the HD7, but it's not working for the focus

I wonder...
Do this: delete all APN you have manually entered.
Change the radio to World instead of North America in Settings/Applications/radio
Then, switch the profile to AT&T from Network profile, reset, then switch back to Simplemobile and reset again.
I hope this does the trick, if it doesn't you would need specific information from Simplemobile...
Type simple in both username and password. I figured it out by chance.
Thanks for the help, can you tell me exactly how you have your focus setup? I'm trying what you said and it isn't working. Do you have the samsung network app installed?
goto the APN settings..
under APN name use value " WWW" thats it.. save it.. restart the phone (if required).
So mine stopped working as well. I have an old Tmobile Dash and it works through that. I do have the Network profile installed as well as the Samsung tools. My focus is totally unlocked, but right now it makes no difference.
So, I deleted the APN and started from scratch. Network settings installed as well as Samsung tools with the 3G marker checked. Even though the 3G cannot work on Tmobile, when I enabled it and then typed in simple for APN, it works.
Hope this helps.
Please Help
Hey can you guys please explain how you got the data and MMS to work on your simple mobile unlocked Focus. I have the Network profile App, but cant find the Samsung tools app on the market place.
Also, what goes into the APN settings (Proxy server, username, etc)

I tested just now by turning off wi-fi, trying to open a web page over and over again. I got this URL and 503 error a few times and then a web page finally loaded. It's not terribly useful, but it occasionally works - so I'm assuming this is more a problem with the connection than with the settings. Sometimes the cell indicator flips between an E and a G. I don't know what the G means, it's not documented that I could find.
I cannot get MMS to work, and based on my research and some others have said this too, it cannot be made to work. Samsung has an app called "Network Profile" that will change the MMS settings for the Focus, but there is no option for Simple Mobile. Until Samsung updates the app for Simple Mobile, we are out of luck.
The settings I use to get data/internet to work on my Focus are:
Under: Settings - Cellular
Data connection: On
Data roaming options: Don't Roam
Network selection: Automatic
Edit/Create APN
APN: simple
User name: [blank]
Password: [blank]
Proxy server/URL: 216.155.165.50
Proxy port: 8080
Windows Phone 7 & Simple Mobile & Internet
The thing I think that is left out of most of the instructions is to go to the secret menu by going to the dialer and entering ##634# and then go to MMS and change the apn there to simple.
Now my Dell Venue Pro is on Simple Mobile and the Internet finally works!
How did you change you MMS settings in diagnostic mode? I can only see the code but cannot find a code to edit the mms or data settings.
I am still stuck even after adding simple apn

The reason most people leave that step out is because it is not a step they can follow. The original question was about the Focus, and the Focus doesn't let users specify the MMS settings. From what I've read, only the Dell Venue Pro gives users direct access to the MMS settings. Which is why it's the only WP7 phone that Simple Mobile officially supports for MMS.
Samsung has a network app for the Focus that allows you to pick a carrier and then it changes the settings as appropriate. Unfortunately, it doesn't support many carriers.
I'm considering making the switch to TMobile prepaid - TMobile shows up in the nework app along with AT&T and so should be supported.
UPDATE: Switched to TMobile. Using the "Network Profile" app set to automatic network profile changing = On and Active Profile = T-Moile USA, I received MMS messages right away. Will do internet testing later. For 10 bucks less a month I would've preferred to stay with Simple Mobile, but since Microsoft / Samsung lock the MMS settings down & Samsung hasn't updated their Network Profile app to support more carriers, I had to make the switch. Glad at least the mms piece is working.
I was able to successfully use both 3G data AND send/receive MMS with the following settings:
APN: simple
MMS:
MMS APC: simple
MMSC: h77p://smpl.mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapeng (Replace sevens with "t"; new user controls...)
AUTH TYPE: None
All other fields are to be left blank.
As mentioned, these settings worked for me marvelously. ...For roughly ten minutes. Then the phone wouldn't wake up, I had to do a battery pull, and mms stopped working. When I go to check the mms settings in EM, it holds onto every value (including blank ones) save for the following:
MMS PORT: (blank)
AUTH TYPE: "None"
Whenever I select "Apply" to save settings, it always force resets those two values to the following:
MMS PORT: 80
AUTH TYPE: "PAP"
Hopefully this is all easy to understand. I've tried at length to search both xda and the world-wide-webz for an answer, but I'm coming up blank. I've always been able to figure this junk out for myself, but this is my first WP7 device, and I'm all kinds of 'tarded with it, haha.
You might want to enable the automatic sim settings. This setting is off by default due to samsung. I think the reason is to keep people on the same carrier that the phone was originally intended for use ie. samsung focus Att
1. Bring up diagnotics app ##634#
2. open diagnostics app located in your apps list (swipe left from start screen)
3. in the diagnostic app type 40*047#3
4. there will be a confimation prompt to confirm autosim detection
5. then the phone will restart and you should have MMS and cellular functionality and internet
This has helped my samsung focus from dropping in and out of my 3g connection...wonderful ...hope this works for you and confirm if it does work please.
I take no credit for this method and here is the original post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1241721
I got mine working without mms. Jailbroke the phone and followed the steps to enable internet connection sharing... that added samsung tools. I don't know what in the end made the difference but I was able to use network profile to tmobile and then add apn simple and it worked.
Since then I moved to straight talk .. att.mvno worked for them for apn but still no mms.
