Use China Mobile to Access Internet via AIRTEL GPRS

Accessing Internet on China Mobile ( AIRTEL )

You have to first activate the GPRS of Airtel

i.e send SMS to

GPRSZERO ACTIVE

to 121 (tollfree)

this is used to activate the GPRS for Zero monthly rental and only charged when you use the internet and this tariff will be per kilobytes

So after successfully activating GPRS

Now you have to install the settings which you will receive when you send another SMS message i.e


MO

to 52678

But for the china mobile you dont receive any setting as there is no support presently by the Airtel Provider, dont worry here are the settings you need to do after successfully activating the GPRS.

-------------------------------------------------------------
This I tested on China Mobile (Touchlife model)

Unlock the Mobile

-> Enter into the SERVICES
-> Here select the DATA ACCOUNT
-> Then select GPRS
-> In the GPRS you will see different Account Names so you can get one of them or take the empty one
-> If you selected the previous one then empty all fields then provide the following data

Account Name: AJR
APN: airtelgprs.com (when you call 121 you will get 'APN' info from customercare person)

Ok Done

-> Now go back to first step and select the SERVICES
-> Select the WAP
-> Then edit the Settings
-> Then again Edit Profile
-> In that you can see the Default Profiles which are there in the Chinese language
-> So edit that profile
-> Select DAta Account
-> And set this to account name of 'AJR' (You previously created i.e APN in that)
-> Then below select the Connect Type
-> Instead of 'WAP' select the 'HTTP'
-> For this you can call the customer care 121 and ask for the ipaddress (proxy ip, port)
For me it worked with the following ip : 202.056.231.117 port: 8080
-> and come to previous screen and select the Home Page
-> Done
