Trying 3G(Wap, Video call & Services) On Cellplus
Blogging, Fun, General, News, Technology, Web May 21st, 2007
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
What can you do on your mobile?
well,for this part, i will let the pictures talk a bit
Connecting to Cellplus Wap
Trying MBC1
Trying Radio Plus
Checking mail
MSN
Other Screen shots
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
Kifer mo pas ti travaille koume sa dan sa module ti ena maths la 
mo ti cpv gagne bon points la non!!! :’(
well, i have been trying Video Call but getting a prob…
will later cover this section…
Nice Surf

I don’t have 3G but my cell is EDGE enabled (2.75 G). I had the Cellplus customer care configure it once, but they didn’t do a good job. I’ll have to do that myself when I have some time!
Hey… I saw a mail from me laho la! :silly:

May 22nd, 2007 at 7:40 pm
i think that doing the configuration is an easy thing.
just manually add them… :happy:
lol, its fun checking mail while u r sitting in the bus :silly:
ya, its ur mail
i went to customer care today to activate my video call n it works well.
havent tried it yet myself since the mob of person on the other side hasnt been activated yet
nevertheless, i tried it there with the cellplus guys n it worked :biggrin:

HI, Would you guys know whether any of the two carriers support EDGE (also know as 2.5G or 2.75G) also…
The iPhone, from apple inc, will be released with EDGE support and I was hoping to get that…

ceki mo cpv dire, lo cellplus, dapres mo calcul, meme si mo faible dan maths, pu wap, for 1 mb, mo pu paye, rs10.24..
so, wap is cheaper on Cellplus!!!
as for 3G (u mean video call), well, its rs1.20 for 1 min…
i dont know in 1 min,how much data transfer is done…
perhaps u can find this out.

Kevin, I do believe Cellplus supports EDGE. My phone is able to pick up the signal. IMO, Emtel has it too!
I don’t believe you’ll be able to get your hands on the iPhone just yet. It will be released in the US next month with Cingular as the only carrier network. Releases in Europe and Asia are planned for later this year, but I don’t think the iPhones will be unlocked.

emtel is introducing HSDPA in June and cellplus iin december
cellplus is always late

June 3rd, 2007 at 4:35 pm
normalement Emtel is also introducing wireless Internet during this year or next year. based on…..Wimax(nomad Technology…..) mai li supposement 2MBps. ek possible to extent to 8MBps……
I only hope it will not be as Nomad…….
Reply to this comment now...
June 3rd, 2007 at 5:38 pm
ya, i heard about the emtel Wimax Problem…
but i dont think that the same problems as nomad will be faced.
y? koz nomad doesnt care in service, only advertisement counts a lot in its budjet, doesnt care about its reputation.
if it was so, since long it sould have contacted each of the customers and apologive for all the problems n let ppl know when they are having problems etc…
Vive Nomad
well, am here if anyone needs a beta tester :whistle: :biggrin:

perhaps u can try to set up the system manually, entering the wap n gprs settings urself…
worth trying if u havent done so yet.

well did u try the following? :
wap 3110
if still it doesnt work, do give a call on 128 to get a confirmation if they provide the settings for this model, else u will have to copy paste the settings from another mobile, already activated.
good luck!

hi i would need some help setting up my phone manually 4 internet settings. i’ve got a nokia6125 (s40 series)phone.i downloaded the configuration files from celllplus,the wap works fine but i cant access internet through programs like gmail or opera…
Reply to this comment now...
October 2nd, 2007 at 6:35 pm
here are the settings for my phone:
Connection : WAP
DataBearer : Packet Data
Accesspoint Name : wap3g
Username : none or ur phone num
Password : No or mmsc
Authentication : Normal
Homepage : http://www.cellpluswap.mu/wap/index.xhtml
if u cant access through applications, then perhaps u havent properly set ur access point, and am pretty sure that the issue is with ur access point name.
try it n let us know, and we will try to help, at least me
Reply to this comment now...
October 3rd, 2007 at 5:56 pm
did all of that, specified my acces point n all,but the icon for gprs will only appear but the page wont load on opera. tried with emtel sim and configurations ,it works fine. phoned customer care ,they told it was only for postpaid users http://www.cellplus.mu/services/gprs_2.htm
or maybe it only works with 3g enabled phone.

October 3rd, 2007 at 6:37 pm
to Amit:
the post paid n prepaid issue was solved some months before and both can access the same service nowadays.
there are 2 terms used, wap and 3G.
i think, but not certain, 2.5G include wap, and 3G has video call as extra service.
reliable internet wiz emtel, cellplus is cheaper but sometimes the server is slow.
try to go to the technical dept of cellplus and have it fixed there itself, they will provide u a demo.

For cellplus:
Send an SMS on 8224 : wap[space] «phone brand and model»
e.g for a Nokia N70, send : wap nokian70.
You will first get a confirmation SMS.
You will then get the configuration settings sent by SMS
Save as «PortailWAPDefaut» by keying in .
You will receive an SMS to confirm that you mobile phone is now WAP-enabled.

@yusha
The settings that you receive from 8224 don’t work.
You have to change the Access Point Name from “orangeworld” to “wap3g”
Proxy server address is 10.20.3.9 & port 8080.
It seems that Orange (no longer cellplus *-) ) 3G Internet network is disabled.
Only GPRS & EDGE is working. You can’t access WAP by 3G & you can’t videocall as well? Anyone having the same probs? ^o)

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! I have 1GB to be used and the rate at which it is working it will take 5 years to complete the 1GB quota!!!!! Somebody guide please!!
Reply to this comment now...
June 4th, 2008 at 12:33 pm
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!
PS. Here’s the FAQ:
