Desktop settings for Airtel internet through Mobile Phone
Prashanth on July 9th, 2007
Few days back I had written a post on Airtel Internet through Mobile Phone as Modem . Now I am explaining step by step procedure to setup a connection to dial-up your Mobile as modem. Let’s get into steps:
- Goto “Start–>Control Panel”
- Click on “Network & Internet Connections”
- Under header “Pick a task” click on “Create a connection to the network at your workspace”.
- Now you will get “New Connection Wizard dialog box, select “Dial-up connection” & click next.
- Dialog will ask for “Connection Name”, give whatever you would like to. I had given “airtelgprs”.
- It asks for “Phone Number”, enter number as “*99***1#”
- If you want select to put a shortcut on desktop (Preferred) & finish setup.
Now you will see a shortcut saying “airtelgprs” (In my case) on desktop. Make sure you installed your phone drivers & connect your phone. Double click the icon on desktop, leave blank “User name” & “Password” fields & click “Dial”. One message will pop-up to confirm its connected. Following are few points to check if not connected:
- Check whether modem drivers for your phone are installed. Normally this will come with your phone’s PC Suite. Installing PC Suite will install all required drivers.
- Check whether your phone could be used as modem or not.
- You need to activate “Mobile Office” service of Airtel to connect. Other services like “Airtel Live” & “NOP/Airtel Online” will not work for this connection.
- If you are getting message “Modem not responded”, try restart your mobile & reconnect it.
Satisfying all above points you will sure be able to connect to internet. To know about Tariff & Usage charges read post Airtel Internet through Mobile Phone as Modem
AFTER DIALING I GET AN ERROR 734-THE PPP LINK PROTOCOL TERMINATED.
THE CUSTOMER SERVICE OF AIRTEL IS OF NO HELP.PL HELP IF U CAN.

1) Phone model you are using to connect.

After watching too many people having same problem
I am trying to resolve this issue. Microsoft explains as follows:
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue:
1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Network and Dial-up Connections.

4. Click to clear the Negotiate multi-link for single link connections check box (if it is selected).
5. Click OK, and then click OK.
6. Double-click the connection, and then click Dial.
• If this procedure resolves the issue and you can establish a dial-up connection, you do not have to follow the remaining steps in this article.
• If this does not resolve the issue and you cannot establish a dial-up connection, go to step 7 to continue to troubleshoot this issue.

First thing is Airtel Online or Airtel Live free GPRS will not work for PC browsing. You need to have Airtel Mobile Office.
Have you installed your Phone’s software & drivers?
If yes, following above procedure it should work. If not, Please specify what error/message you are getting.

@Yogesh
There might be problem while installing drivers.
Remove already installed drivers & re-install them.
Remove PC Suite through Add & Remove Software in your control panel.
Remove drivers if they are still present.
To remove existing drivers (assuming you are using windows XP) goto Start –> Control Panel –> Printer & Other hardwares –> Phone & Modem options. Now in Modems tab you will see your phone’s entry. Click on it & click remove.
To re-install drivers, re-install PC Suit & plug your phone. A new hardware found wizard pops-up & drivers will gets installed.
i am using airtel mobile office in bihar.
for connecting your phone to laptop you have to configure your phone i.e,MENU-TOOLS-SETTINGS-CONNECTION-PACKET DATA-ACCESS POINT-airtelgprs.com
make a dial-up connection on your pc *99***1#
this steps are necessary if you connect your phone via bluetooth otherwise use data cable and NOKIAPC SUITE.

I could not understand that it is a fault of my mobile of of my connection.I have asked about the fact to the AirTel customer care exicutive, but they did not give any satisfactory answer.

@Avinash
wow!
Thanks a lot for sharing info.
I appreciate it
I have been using Airtel Mobile office for the past 6 months to connect with Nokia 6681 modem (Nokia PC Suite) in my Compaq notebook. So far I didn’t encounter any problem, but only problem is its too slow as it is cheap. Anyway I like it just coz, its temporary and can deactivate whenever I wish plus no need to follow compulsory monthly bill. I even download torrent files with average of 6 movies (or software) a week.
But one thing I must say is that I don’t need dial-up connection mode to connect with the mobile. Just simply I open PC Suite and click Connect to the Internet, then it auto-connects to internet within 10 seconds. At present I am thinking to take the cheapest broadband connection available from the coming month just to download my wish-list movies via torrent.
Dear sir please tell me, how to connect the internet to china mobile LV2008, it is a windows vista mobile and performance is very good,but iam unable to connect the gprs, or internet service, ihave airtel connection.
Hi Ruby,
First activate GPRS service on your phone by typing GPRSACT and sending to 511(14.99 daily charge applies you can connect phone to desktop or laptop)
or NOPACT to 511 (5Rs daily rental) but you can only surf on phone
Send SMS of MO to 2567 to get mobile office settings to your phone. Once you have recieved settings save it on mobile by pressing save option.
shut down and restart your phone.
Check, going to web if it is working!
Thanks
dear sir,
thanx for giving reply…but in my phone i tried as you given, i send the sms for activation it is
activated, and i got sms of press 0 for MO setting..but in LV2008 that option is not there
for saving. please you check this model LV2008 as i think internet is not come in india, if yes then ill sell it……
please reply
thanx
ruby.
Hi,
When you will open the SMS of mobile setting check save option is appearing there or not.but before that you have to send sms of MO to 2567.
If message cannot be saved then read it. which will show
access point name, ISP provider, etc set those option in
your phone manually. Also check if your phone is GPRS, MMS and GSM equipped or not.
Thanks
Avinash
@ruby

@Sanjay
I was previously owning this set.
It has PC connectivity for syncing & mangaging contacts, messages. It can’t be used as a modem.
A Nokia phone which has POP port can be used as modem. The basic model which can be used as modem is Nokia 6070.
Hi Prashant/sanjay,
I have used Nokia3220 as Modem connecting PC. It is still lower version that Nokia 6030 but I cannot say that 6030 can work because each phone may have got facilities available.
thanks

Hi there guys!
I would like to ask all those who have got Mobile Office activated on their phones, can you access your yahoo mail via Mobile Office because I got NOP activated on my phone, but I have been unable to access yahoo mail or my POP3 email via NOP. After inquiring someone said that it’s possible to do so via Mobile Office. I would like to confirm it from those who are using MO before shelling out money for it.
Looking for your prompt response and, if possible, any advice on this issue.

Arun

Hi,
I have:
1. A Vodafone (Delhi) postpaid connection with Vodafone Mobile Connect activated.
2. A Moto RIZR Z3 with internal modem that has the capability to work as an external PC Modem.
I installed the Motorola PC Suite. The modem drivers were also successfully installed. However, when I attempt to connect, it gives me the following error:
Internet Connection (633)
The GPRS Connection could not be established, make sure that you have subscribed to the DATA option and that the network is accessible. Contact your (Hutch) Service Provider for more details.
Please help me resolve this problem. The Vodafone customer care executives ask me stupid questions and try to get rid of the call whenever I call them up with this.
