Emtel had already launched the 3G Services(WAP & Video Call) months ago and even cellplus had their system working for only post paid.
For Prepaid service, users could only surf the cellplus wap site, nothing more than that while emtel users could surf any site.
Since some days, am sure, many among you with 3G mobiles have noticed the 3G displaying proudly on your screen.
Thats it!
3G has just been launched for pre-paid cell plus users and you can now enjoy the services like
- WAP (internet browsing)
- Video Call
- other services like watching mbc1, radio plus from the cellplus wap site
How to activate your 3G services?
Send a sms to 8224 with “wap “
Example for a Nokia N73, send“wap nokian73”
You will receive the settings some seconds later.
Just save those settings by selecting “options>>save”.

How much does it cost?
for WAP, it costs 1cent per kb
seems rather cheap..
U can afford to stay the whole day on the internet, u will be charged only upon the times you are loading the page and on its size.
for video call, its rs1.20 per min
Wat is costed me this:
I have been trying the wap n other trucs and
till now i have downloaded some 1.5Mb of stuffs
Thats make u
Ans=(1.5×1024) Kb x 1 cents = rs15.35

How to set EDGE on iPhone? I went to MT Tower, he put orange on the VPN and no username and no password. Then I got the EDGE started. i can see the E sign but it works shit!

iPhone? LOL 😀
Hmmmm “orange” as APN?
If it is working then the settings are correct! & from what I’ve seen on the Web, that’s indeed the correct way to configure it. 🙂
The truth is that EDGE speed sucks! Max speed you can depends on the network configuration – usually between 56k & 150k.
(Although it says 384k on the Orange FAQ, 384k is the maximum theoretical speed for 3G, not EDGE)
Better use WiFi instead.. 😉
& if you want a faster connection, buy the 3G iPhone that will be launching on Monday & will be officially supported in Mauritius! 😉

ORANGE TECH GUY SUCK!!!
I did go to ORANGE “technical department”. came across i guy asking him to activate my video call. he took my phone. first he did not know how to use my phone, where to find the setting internet setting. i told him i already configure my phone mms and internet ok. he seem pretty lost and got to the back (probably asking help from another guy). and come back and told me cannot use the video call. my phone is too new. WHAT THE HELL !!!!
so i do some test with the customer support of ORANGE.
i call them several times from different phone number asking everytimes the same question
“can i use my video call on pre paid? and can you activate it now”
three times answer was – yes, but they cannot help me on phone. i need to go to the technical department. two answer was – cannot use. you must have a post paid. one answer was – “i dont know” and hang up. (a shame for a customer support service).
the internet sometimes does not connect and timeout and sometimes ok. is that normal?

I tried to tether my phone(Nokia N70) to my laptop to see what speed I could get. I have found that Orange limits 3G speed to around 64kbps(8kBps) even if I used a download accelerator(I use IDM). In fact when I set my phone to connect to EDGE/GSM network only, I obtained a speed of around 128 kbps(16 kBps) with peak data rate of 180 kbps (22 kBps). Perhaps Orange reserves bandwidth on its 3G network for other uses like Orange TV and so on. I will try to download a torrent and I will keep you informed.

First of all, awesome blog :> well I tried settings from all over the net & even contacted orange to get them send me the required settings with no luck at all. I’m using a t-mobile G1, running on android 1.0(could care less to update to 1.5 unless I’ve got 3g or edge ready). I’ve added the different APNs to the phone and it does show the 3g or even edge symbol, but it doesn’t work.
Any ideas?

My friends and I at college have managed to get the settings that will work with any type of phone. Any application will also work, like opera mini etc etc…
For orange users:
Connection name: Orange(or whatever you wish)
APN: orange(this will enable all apps to work)
Proxy add: 10.20.3.9
Authenthication: normal
Everything else can be left blank.
With these settings everybody can get the Internet working on 3G and edge.
Now, for the users that get(phone type unsupported):
To get your Internet activated on orange is side you need to send a message to them:
For Nokia phones that are on edge: wap nokia6125
———————————— 3G: wap nokian70
This will get ur Internet activated on orange us side then you can use the settings that I have given above.
I will be updating soon for the other makes.
And @gulshan:
Take your sim and put it into a phone that is supported by orange(the n70 is the best option). Then once your Internet is working on the n70 pit your sim in the android phone and just need to put the access point name to “orange”
I shall also be updating soon with the Emtel settings.

Can you please confirm that the settings you mentioned above are for Orange MU?
I am currently in AU but my sis in MU has got an iPhone from Orange Mauritius, however, tethering is not enabled. Therefore, I am creating a profile that she can download to her phone that will enable the tethering option. However, I need the APN, Username and Password. There’s no proxy settings slot when creating a profile for the iPhone.
So if your findings are correct, I believe the settings should be as follows:
APN: orange
Username: [blank]
Password: [blank]

tethering is automatically disabled for orange MU. Apple did so because they know that orange doesn’t have unlimited data packages. There isn’t any way to create a seperate profile for the iPhone. Orange have used the same settings as I hve given above. But since the iPhone uses the orange proxy address automatically the only setting tht has to be put in the iPhone is the access point(orange, which is already put when you buy the phone).
But strangely, after updating to OS 3.0, the setting to change the access point name seems to have disapeared… 😦

It worked! I just received an SMS from my sis that tethering is working and the 3G as well.
It’s not actually Apple that disables the tethering. Here in Australia, we have 4 major mobile networks selling the iPhone. Vodafone has tethering for free, while Optus and Telstra charges for it. Virgin Mobile, owned by Optus, provides tethering for free…very strange! None of these carriers have unlimited data plans, and some of them have plans that starts as low as 100Mb. It’s not Apple who controls the tethering on the carriers’ networks.
iPhone OS 3.0 didn’t affect the visibility of the network settings. It’s the “carriers settings” update from iTunes that hides that info. But creating a profile for the iPhone (very easy to do; download the profile app from Apple provided you’re using a Mac) will show these settings again (whatever you’ve put in the profile).
iPhone OS 3.01 however will reset the carrier settings. But downloading the profile to the phone will re-enable tethering.

3G always worked because iTunes installs the proper settings onto the iPhone during sync, re Carrier Settings.
However, when you create a profile, you need to manually enter the APN of the carrier you’re using, and that’s where you run the risks of having your 3G not working anymore.

Hi Ema1503!
Yes, the settings above should allow you to connect your computer to the internet if used with the correct network operator. However, you should first activate internet/wap on your SIM card. Any sim with wap enabled will work.
As for the choice, that’s a tough question you asked. It usually depends on a lot of factors : Region, Usage and above all, CHANCE! 😛
Try anyone first, if you are not satisfied, then may be the other one can suit your purpose.
