Update: For people looking for better rate for data usages, there are many available plans out in Delhi region. As per my view, there are three, which should suit people in the following ways:
-
People with occasional usages: Rs. 450/- for 1 Gb
-
People with good usages: Rs. 1500/- for 15 GbCurrently not available -
People with high usages: Rs. 2500/- for Unlimited usages
Like Chandan said in its Review over MTNL 3G, even I was not having a positive feeling about PSU Telecom Products. Although I have seen like my colleague B. S. Negi said what goes with Government Product that once set to work, they will work flawlessly, although you have to wait endlessly in case any fault occurs in the same.
I have used BSNL Dialup in Azamgarh, BSNL Broadband in Allahabad, Idea Internet (GPRS, PC) in Azamgarh, New Delhi, Mumbai, Varanasi etc., Aircel (GPRS, PC) in New Delhi and I could say that I got BSNL Broadband and Idea only good enough to rely on till now. Till now, I was on Idea Internet, even after they raised prices (earlier it was 5 Rs. per day for Unlimited Use and now its 20 Rs. per day for Unlimited Use) as its the best option, if you have edge in your area. All other options are more costly, if you are a heavy user.
Anyway, I was writing over MTNL 3G. I bought it from a local shop as the MTNL guy didn’t showed up for 2 days and then it was a total one day wait for getting the SIM activated. The excuse was server problem. Pretty funny!!! for the company giving first 3G for connectivity. 🙂
Initial reception was good and I was able to get around 350 kbps download speed and relatively poor upload speed of about 50-70 kbps on my cell. Although still remained was connecting it to PC. After searching over Internet, I got Chandan’s link and it resolved the issue. The solution was to use Nokia PC Suit and choosing to configure connection manually and putting pps3g as access point and leaving all other fields blank.
For the people, not using Nokia PC Suit, I found another get around.
Go to Control Panel, then Modem, Choose modem and put [at+cgdcont=1,"ip","pps3g"] without brackets, then simply create a dialup in known way and you are set to go.
What I am still feeling trouble here is the UMTS network reception in my room. I get all network line or most of them, but still I guess, I am not getting proper network with MTNL UTS here. If I put it in UMTS only mode, then I could actually see when 3G network is dipping. That’s causing one more issue heating up my cell as Network is constantly interchanging or discovering mode. These trouble are holding me to recharge the cell for unlimited data plan which is costing Rs. 2500/- per month, although other options are available like Rs. 250 for 0.5 GB and Rs. 450/- for 1GB.
Although for the users who want to go for it and searching that whether it will work in their area or not. Here is the 3G Map provided by MTNL Delhi
Although still I get the famous Error 734: The PPP link control protocol was terminated (Thanks to poor network reception in my room) while connecting to internet. This is an error from Server Side, if you are not getting proper network reception. With this error, I guess you can’t do anything about except waiting to get it resolved on your own or restarting your cell again and again 😦
Relieved from the above mention error after changing the area. Now, if I face any trouble then I check the balance. It has been happen sometimes that services might be down, but seems to be stable than early days now.

can any body help me to use internet on my vista os through mtnl prepaid 3g connection. if any body have configuration then provide me.
suman
Nitish,
Thanks a lot. with help of “putting pps3g as access point” now i am able to connect “MTNL 3G Jadoo” to my pc to use internet.
Manoj
I am not sure Suman, why you are still facing the issue. If you have Nokia PC Suit, then its matter of seconds and if you have not then its a little bit tricky.
You have to make a connection using your Nokia Modem first and then go to control panel, then find the modem and then go to advanced tab and write the command I given to put.
Hii Nitish,
yes i have nokia(n 70 mobile) pc suite…can u help me…how to configure lappi(vista os) setp by step.. i hve not much idea about computer.
Suman
As I wrote “The solution was to use Nokia PC Suit and choosing to configure connection manually and putting pps3g as access point and leaving all other fields blank.”
IN PC Suit there would be an option for connect to internet, go through that.
Press Settings then Next
Choose to configure manually check box and
Just fill access point textbox with pps3g
Note that you should also have MTNL’s 3G Settings in your cell.. it would be with the name of HSPDA-GPRS-Prepaid or whatever the case may be in your case.
Hope these instructions may help you out

Hi Nitesh
i have sony p910i and i am using the net on the phone(it is mtnl 3g postpaid) however i am unable to connect it through bluetooth on my laptop. i had enquired from the customer care but that of no use. can you please explain me the setting( how to made in the laptop) step by step because i do not know much about it.
thanking you in advance
amit
Best be using Sony PC Suit and using Internet Connection tab there. Change the access point to pps3g and it should work, if your phone is connected to Laptop over PC.
If your Laptop not getting connected with Phone over bluetooth, then its another issue that you will be needed to figure out.
Its easy if you are using Windows XP
1- type ncpa.cpl in run
2- create a new dialup conenction using Phone modem with standard settings
3- Keep username and password fields blank
4- Now, open control panel, go to phone and modem option
5- In second tab Advanced, choose the phone modem (must be on some com port).
6- Go to properties of the same and then to advanced of the modem properties page
7- Here you will find a box name Initialization command
paste the below code as it is:
at+cgdcont=1,”ip”,”pps3g”
now use the dialup connection and it should connect, if you are using MTNL Prepaid. For postpaid, I am not sure that the same access point works or not!! even in that case, You will needed to know access point and put the same in initialization command in place of pps3g
Hi Nitish,
Thanks a ton for providing the manual settings for the 3G connection setup. It took me almost 6 hours to try and configure it myself. Unfortunately, nothing seemed to work.
I finally sought google’s help and here I am. I finally have the internet on my phone up and running (though its four in the morning coz of my failed attempts).
Anyways, just wanted to thank you for the splendid work you’ve done to help out Noob’s like me man. Thanks again.
TC,

I am no sure what problem you are exactly facing. Connecting Mobile to PC or something after that.
If Data cable not connecting you to cell, then try bluetooth option
I have a samsung B7320. I am using MTNL trump prepaid. I sent a message to 444 to activate 3G. I got back a welcome message. How do I configure my phone to use GPRS and 3G? I sent my phone info to MTNL number, but it says that my phone can not use the facility.
As per specification of your Phone, it supports 3G for sure

mtnl 3g setting for nokia 7210 supernova
Use same manual settings as I given above.. but check your set first.. as much I know.. it doesn’t has 3G
i have another problem with mtnl 3g after manual setting i got internet working but data charged is enormorous with in minutes the 50 mb data was spent even though nothing was uploaded or downloaded. pathetic..
Yeah Sure that’s a trouble with MTNL.. Hoping that situation will improve once other players come in… meanwhile you could give Idea Internet a try.. it cost 20/- per day for internet.
Aircel gives you in 95/- per month, but I didn’t found stable enough in my area.. Airtel one, I dont know work on PC now days or not
it’s a good job you are doin by helping so many ppl.
i have a samsung corby pro and stay in mumbai,would u by any chance know the settings for mumbai,or is it the same?
Do reply,thanks.
The official link for mumbai is

There is one for Samsung Manual Settings for GPRS. Try the same… should work
hi nitish
your are really promising person so pls help me
i have mtnl 3g connection i can acess net in my phone.
i have follow procedure for connectivity with my desktop but it show mssg
“subscribe to packet data” in my phone but i have sufficient balance and at same time i can acess net in my phone & second thing what should put in dial phone no.*99# or *99***#(my phone no.) pls help me i shall very grateful to u
Hi Aditya,
*99# is the number to be dialed.
As about your error “Subscribe to Packet Data”, you seem not subscribed to particular plan HSPDA or 3G one or might be the case that its not added in the default connection of phone.
Try to get settings from Subscriber side and then save it as default. It should work fine then.
Thanx nitish
for ur amid and insane
I m able to acess internet in my pc.
just last favour i need that speed is not according to my Desire.how to accelerate speed.I m using nokia 7210
Aditya!! I guess the reason behind the same must be your set itself. Nokia 7210 Supernova doesn’t have 3G means you are bound to get a maximum of 232 kbps that’s a max for Class 32/ Edge, if I am not wrong.
I managed to get around 115 kbps or a little more in most of the scenarios means a max of 15 kbps speed you will get while downloading. If your set would have 3G, then it was another story I guess
Hello,
I was successfully using MTNL 3G for past 3 months and suddenly last week it stopped working. I contacted 1503 and got the manual setting which is same given in this page however none of them is working for me. 😦
I am having HTC Touch Pro 2 with Windows Mobile 6.1.
Can any one help me please?
Viren,
Check your Balance and also change your network to UMTS only, if there is some option for the same. Restart the phone, if network is showing there, then Internet should work now.
Hi,
please help for settings on samsung corby 3G…
i tried all the settings mentioned above but nothing worked… it is for prepaid connection..
thanks!
Have you got the subscription enabled from your provider?
What exact error are you getting?
i get an error for unexpected failure… and the customer care people say that the services are activated…
Set MTNL as default one, also use initialization commands.
nitish, can i run 3G prepaid on windows vista with nokia N85 if yes kindly, tell me the to be put in nokia pc-suite
thanks, in advance
Sure dear,
Very easily if using Nokia PC suit. Just choose manual setting and put access point name as pps3g everything else blank and it should go like zzzzzzzzoommm
I am just using it on a new PC with a new set by today
well, it’s not working on windows vista, i don’t know why ? kindly, give me settings in detail
i am using nokia N85 & having a nokia pc-suite also
thanks
Vinay,
First connect your cell via Nokia PC Suit in Vista, then check in control panel, there must be a modem in name of your Nokia N95. Then you have go through “Connect Internet” option in Nokia PC Suit.
Here in setting, choose Nokia Software Modem as modem and then put pps3g as access point and leave rest as blank. Now, try to connect and it should go for sure.
If not activated GPRS on your set, then you could send ACTGPRS to 444 to activate. For manual settings, you need to create a new access point in your cell yourself with settings as I mentioned in other comments.
i am having BB storm and want to use mtnl 3g services on it as well as on my laptop.kindly help
not sure dear.. have to check over some blackberry that where access point settings are .. then create a new access point in any name with manual setting as I mentioned in previous comments and then go for it.
As about laptop or desktop, then its more easy if your GPRS is activated on phone. just find the modem and make a connection through it. Dial number would be *99# and in Modem, advanced initialization commands should be
at+cgdcont=1,”ip”,”pps3g”
Check my early comments
Hi! Nitesh
i need settings for Nokia 6500S -3g MTNL Delhi
the settings received from MTNl are not working it says ‘active packet data connection required’ as per customer care of MTNL i have active packet data connection and my balance is more then Rs.50/- to have data connection.
Hi Mittal,
For the first hand resolution, go to settings and change the network type to ‘UMTS’ in place of default ‘Dual’. Although as your error says, it should not be the exact case, but give it a try.
In next attempt, try to put the settings as default and if not working, then try manual settings as I given in earlier comments
And by the way, the name is Nitish not Nitesh 😛
Hi nitish, i have nokia 5800 and my phone is on UMTS mode MTNL 3G, added manually 3g gprs settings and made it the deafult connection.
The signal bar is showing 3.5g (my sim has an activated 3G connection)
when i try to connect the internet the phone shows following error:
” Packed Data: Packed Data Connection Not Available”
What could possible be wrong??
Plz help
Only having the settings not sufficient. You need to get the services activated from your provider that would be MTNL.
To activate 3G service
Prepaid : SMS `ACT 3G` to 444
Postpaid : Dial 1503
But as you said you already got activated connection (though I am not sure), then it might be the case that access point setting is wrong somewhere.. make sure the one you are using has pps3g written as Access Point Name
Hello Nitish..From 31st May onwards all the MTNL customers in delhi are automaticaly trasfered to 3g networks.
http://mtnldelhi.in/conversion_3g.htm
I have never seen 3.5G written below the signal bar before! DO i still need to send ACT 3G on 444?
Network Availability and Subscription are two different things. My bro’s phone in Azamgarh, UP showing 3G but 3G not activated in UP yet, neither do he is able to access net.
That’s why I mentioned that you should try that. Though I doubt that the keyword would be same. Confirm Customer care once.
Hi Nitish ,
You have mentioned setting for pre paid connection only I have post paid connection and one need to put mtnl3g in place of pps3g.
Now my problen is that i am able to run internet on opera mini but not in default web brower. I have Nokia E63.
Regards,
Go to Options -> Settings -> General -> Access Point
Choose Always Ask
Hi nitish
i used your initialization cmd but wen dialing it says” Error 692: There was a hardware failure in the modem(or other connecting device)
Please help me
If its saying that there is Hardware failure, then you have problem with your connectivity cable drivers. Dialing modem will only work if PC Suit or Ovi Suit getting connected.
it says so only wen i wrote extra initialization string.
Are you able to open the phone from your PC? Is any com port showing against the modem name in Control panel? If no then you have problem with Drivers otherwise some error in the string
at+cgdcont=1,”ip”,”pps3g”
Hi I have Nokia 2730c with mtnl prepaid 3g connection,
when i connect my phone to pc it shows “Subscribe to Packet Data first”.
When i choose settings on my phone “TRUMP GPRS”, my gprs is working fine on 3g network by showing “G” and other settings are not working.
What could be the problem with my service provider or with my phone?
Good news is.. Your handset supports 3G.
Bad news is .. G doesn’t stands for 3G, it will show up like 3.5G and Trump GPRS settings are for Phone only not PC.
Your 3G seems not activated as of now. It will show up as 3G-GPRS-Prepaid. Get that activated with help of Customer care first. It should work then.
For PC connectivity, following the instructions in my comments above.
I talk to customer care and he tell me that 3g is activated on my phone as my network signal shows 3g and speed is so fast on my phone opera browser , when is shows G.
That’s OK, but Trump_GPRS is for WAP and not for PC usage. For PC usages, you need that particular Access Point that I am talking about.
Check the instructions in above comments and put the custom initialization commands in Advanced Tab of Modem properties. Command would be
at+cgdcont=1,”ip”,”pps3g”
hi i have bought nokia e72 and i have mtnl jadoo card
i have couple of questions,
what will be the download speed and surfing speed
and if required any advance seeting u required
thanks
Illyas Mulla
Though speed depends on your area, but most of the time you should achieve 2mbps+ at least. As about settings, then you could check out my replies in above comments.
thanks mate iam getting error
Packet data connection not available since yesterday i had called mtnl several time but they keep on saying resave the setting it will work or ur complaint will be resolved in 12-48 hrs
thanks
illyas Mulla
your issue resolved or still pending?
Customer Care tell me to use
Access Point : mtnlppsdel
UserName : mtnl
Password : mtnl123
in the nokia pc suite manual settings
and it’s working fine.
As my mobile is Nokia 2730c so it’s max speed is 460Kbps .
but mtnl plans are so much expensive.
I am waiting when they lower down the prices for unlimited plan.
Don’t feel worried about what modem says to you, it reports 468 kbps with all. But as per specs of Nokia 2730, sure its not in league of mbps speed
Cant get settings to work with HTC Desire on a Dolphin SIM with 99 Rs Topup . DOne everything the MTNL call centre suggested but shows connection error.
Any help?
MTNL helpline is as good as a chocolate Teapot!
hi
im using nokia 5800 n stayin in mumbai
i tuk 3g activated card and for 1st 2 days internet worked fine
thn it started giving me problem that ‘packet data connection not available’
i evn asked custmore care guys but they are hopeless fellows they used to keep on giving me new settings and used to say it wil work fine, but didnt
i even tried the manual settings they gave me but of no use my friend who is using e75 also has same problem
sir if u hav any solution for this plzz tell
The most easy shot would be looking at if you are not running out of balance at first place, secondly check if everything right with your 3.5G signals.
If both the things are fine and even it doesn’t work then it might be issue related to settings or from the backend
evrythin is fine
i tired alomst every settings even from ur site but nothing has helpd me so far
i think the problem must b from their side
i even gave a complaint to them but they say from their site everything is ok
due have any manual settings which u think can work for me
As I have wrote in my earlier comment the one that works for me is

Hi Nitish, I have an HP Mini 110 1001tu which has a SIM slot in it for 3G mobile Broadband i.e. that you can connect to the internet just inserting that SIM in your laptop, however I haven’t had any success with it. I would really appreciate if you could guide me or provide any info regarding the same.

I have problem connecting internet through nokia 2730 to my laptop i am using mtnl 3g connection pls help me…

Mr.NITISH,
u R OF lot of help to many 3G crazy people like me.
I am using Nokia 5630D. It is a 3G phone.I am activated..(or told so..) by 3G Jadoo ,MTNL,Delhi. I am getting signak 3.5G.
But, the thing is..I am getting connected to Internet only through GPRS i.e 2G.
Many times I talked to MTNL. But, they simple send the settings once again. I treid many possibilities ..and your instructions too…
Is there any way to know whether I am connected through WAP/2G/3G/ or HSDPA (3.5G)..?
Thank You..
KIRAN
Try this ..
Go to Settings -> Phone -> Network -> Network Mode
and set that to UMTS mode.
Then it will run only 3G not 2G, though will drain battery as 3G does.
If your Internet will be working then, it has 3G activated and you have settings.
If Internet doesn’t work, then you need to get the setting or manually create the settings
That will be something like
Connection Name: 3G-GPRS-PREPAID
Data Bearer: Packet Data
Access Point Name: pps3g
User Name: None
Prompt Password: No
Password: None
Authentification: Normal
Homepage: http://www.google.com

I tried this..but again the same message is displayed i.e ‘Packet data Connection is not available’
I could connect only when I change APN to ‘gprsppsdel’
Why I am so particular is.. when I Paid for 3G, why should I get 2G only.
To be frank..even TRUM GPRS Speed is quite OK for me.
Even on PC, I am getting good speed.
anyway..thank You..I suppose ..MTNL have not activated 3G for me. That’s why I am getting connected through Trump Gprs.
Yes! it seems the same case. Tell their customer care the same thing that you are not able to access via pps3g APN. Probably they will send you new settings or might be something with your plan itself that they may mention.
Basically they are providing 3g through APN mtnlppsdel so you don’t need any other APN , you can check by speed and bandwidth provided to you, 2g service support only around 144 kbps and 3g service support 2Mbps bandwidth and minimum 256kbps speed on your phone/pc , i am using 3g on my phone Nokia2730c but in my case my phone support only around 384kbps bandwidth it is showing on my pc network when i connect to internet through my phone.
hi i have nokia N79 and i have a mtnl 3g connection on my mobile and i can use it well on my phone browser but it shows “connection failed” when i use the internet through softwares like ,”opera mini, mig33, ebuddy, nimbus,…..etc”.
I tried this option in the settings “Act def in all apps” in my phone but of no use……..Pls help….
Go through the manual settings. Make one and use the same.

I can not conect it with mtnlppsmum apn on my lappy.
its not connecting via pc suite also.
But after searching, i tried to connect it via ‘gprsppsmum’. And volia, its connected now.
But main thing is that, i am not getting enough speed on pc. My max downloading speed is 45KBps with idm.
I am using 5230 with umts only mode. I’ve tried it in many places.
Is there any solution for this? Oe any apn for 3g?
fyi. pps3g is also not working.
Mate, the download speed you get is in fact 1/8 of the speed mentioned. Its difference of bits and bytes. Means if we are talking about 1.6 mbps then download speed you get via IDM etc will be around 200 kbps. Means 45 kbps going around 512 kbps for you.
You must test your connection again speedtest.net That will clear the confusion. It also depends on what you downloading and from where you downloading. If they have restricted their upload speeds, then you can not gain more.
Next, your set has 3.6 HSDPA but 3.5 mpbs of speed that come through 3.5G is spread over a GSM cell and shared among all the users connected to the same cell. That explains lower speeds at some places.
Just read ur blog, and I find you, the right person to solve my problem.
Plz help me to get out of this one:-
I have a Samsung galaxy 3 G I 9000 phone
and yesterday i purchased a 3g sim from mtnl delhi
the support system of mtnl is very poor, so i’m not getting a proper setting for my mobile to run the internet, ….somewhere i got some setting, that help to run my widgets, but the normal sites are not opening in my mobile.
so can you plz, tell me the right setting for my phone?
awaiting ur ans
thanks in advance
The settings you might have got must be wap only that is MTNL GPRS, you need to configure and set as default the HSPDA settings that should go by APN “pps3g”.
Check the comments given above for complete settings.
Use the following settings
APN: PPSHSDPA
User: MTNL
Pass: MTNL123
keep rest as it is…. these shud just wrk grt.. i use dem evryday..
oh.. the pass is in small caps… mtnl123 not caps..
srry for dat..
ya iused that APN….but again, only the samsung widgets and android widgets are running, i can;t open the browser….to access the net…….
i tried this:-
I have used ur settingd with apn- pps3g or ppshsdpa,but the net is not plying again I used apn-gprsppsdel,the H sign appeared,here I can use the rebular widgets,but cant run the.internet through the browser. What will be the exact setting for samsung galaxy s,?
I have used proxy-172.16.31.10
Port-9201
Username-mtnl
Pw-mtnl123
Mcc-404
Mnc-68
Auth-pap
Apn name-mtnl 3g
But with all these I can run the widgets only no internet
and one more thing, ur saying…ur using it everyday….does it means, u have to set the apn daily to access the net?
Have you checked your web setting defaults via browser settings?
I don’t have a Galaxy as of now, so cant pin point the settings. Have asked Gaurav again
No buddy, I dnt hav to set APN daily.. I was saying that it works just great in my daily use.
Did you use proxy with the settings I gave you?
You dnt have to enter anything else, just the name [anything], APN, User id, pass. NO proxy……nthng else…
It shud wrk.
as soon i changed the apn to PPSHSDPA and deleted the proxy etc….the H icon disappeared and now no widgets/internet is running…..!!!
:-((
In place of PPSHSPDA, try only pps3g.
Name and APN both should be pps3g.
Name is only significant for the user purpose, while the APN plays the main role.
nothing is happening….its feels very frustrating…….
can anybody with a samsung galaxy plzzzz tell me the settings for mtnl 3g?? from A to Z,
now with using pps3g againg nothing happening
Contacted Samsung India on it. Please get connected to @samsung_mobiles on twitter or Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/samsung.mobiles they will help you out on it
pls i’m using a s8530 handset and a prepaid sim of mtnl mumbai
i need manual settings for my handset pls help me out…
Check the comments above.
sorry to bother you again but the link above does not give any idea ….pls cud you give me any other direct link it will be really help full
Try this ..
Go to Settings -> Phone -> Network -> Network Mode
and set that to UMTS mode.
Then it will run only 3G not 2G, though will drain battery as 3G does.
If your Internet will be working then, it has 3G activated and you have settings.
If Internet doesn’t work, then you need to get the setting or manually create the settings
That will be something like
Connection Name: 3G-GPRS-PREPAID
Data Bearer: Packet Data
Access Point Name: pps3g
User Name: None
Prompt Password: No
Password: None
Authentification: Normal
Homepage: http://www.google.com
Advanced Settings:
Network Type: IPv4
Phone IP Address: Automatic
DNS Address: Automatic
Proxy Server Address: None
Proxy Port No: 0
Or can put ppshsdpa in place of pps3g
Though still this one is the best place to ask for the settings

Hi Nitish,
You are doing a superb job mate,,by helping so many hapless mtnl victims .. hehe..m a victim too, using a nokia 6120 classic hsdpa handset in mumbai, able to connect to net over phone, connection to pc invariably’s failing!!! some modem failure here, i guess the problem would be with the connectivity with regards bluetooth, don’t have a cable as yet, this is so blah! my other phone e61 is only equipped with 384kbps speed capability 😦
my model nokia c2-02. have trump gprs config setting. my net is not working. do i need to creat an acces point or what?? coz dont have had panic in nokai5320. there ijust use trump gprs as my config setting and activate in all apps. plese explain. i m all so confuse. it shows communication error(006) or suscribe packet data first.
Hi Nitish,
Thanks for playing the role of customer support to numerous MTNL customers. Infact MTNL top bosses should acknowledge your endeavour.
Dear friend I too have been facing an issue with my 3G Jadoo prepaid datacard.A few days back my SONY Vaio laptop’s BIOS got infected with a virus, hence that went for a service at a Sony service centre. Now when I started using my Vaio with the same old MTNL 3G datacard it’s getting connected to net through the default MTNL Prepaid profile that has ‘gprsppsdel’ as the APN and hence obviously I am getting connected via gprs and not the 3G.
Even after creating a new profile using the 3G APN settings mtnl/*99#/mtnl123/ppshsdpa as advised by you, I am not getting connected and receiving the message ‘The PPP link protocol was terminated.’
Could there be an issue with my recently serviced laptop (modem settings). Please advise and oblige.
Use the card as a modem and configure as per instructions provided above. Do not use the application that came with Data Card. It should work then
