Aircel Pocket Internet settings for configuring PC / Laptop

This post explains you on how to use the Aircel Pocket Internet on your PC / Laptop.For using Aircel Pocket Internet on PC / Laptop , you need a mobile phone which has USB or bluetooth to connect to the PC / laptop. I’ll explain this using the options I have on my previous mobile phone – Sony Ericsson K750i.
I have a Nokia 5800 too which I have successfully connected to PC and browsed using Aircel Pocket internet.Get Aircel Pocket Internet active on your mobile. Once you subscribe, you will receive settings to use it which need to be saved on the mobile phone. On SE K750i, you can see these profiles under Settings > Connectivity > Internet Settings , you may see a number of profiles listed along with “pocket internet” itself. “Pocket Internet” is the profile used to connect to internet and browse on PC / Laptop. Find at what position, “Pocket Internet” profile is listed on the above said section, if its at serial number 1, it is 1. This position is used in the dial up number configured on the PC / laptop.
Connect your mobile phone to PC / Laptop. As said earlier, use USB cable or use bluetooth and make sure it is connected.
Create a new dial up connection (Go to control panel, network and internet connection > Network connections and choose create a new connection). Name it as “Aircel” or something (name isn’t very much dependant). Choose to set up the connection manually and choose dial up modem. For the dial up modem, keep username and password as blank and the number to dial is *99***1# (if pocket internet is your first profile – see explanation above), or *99***2# if pocket internet is listed as the second profile and so on. Create connection and dial the connection, you should see a status bar indicating that connection is established on successful connection.
Now open your web browser (say IE), go to Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN settings and enter the proxy details as 192.168.35.201 and port 8081 , use this proxy for other protocols too.
Now open any page say http://www.google.com/ the page should load if you have followed the instructions as stated above.
The procedure will be almost similar on other mobile phones too, one need to identify the internet profiles listed on the phone, identify the position of the “pocket Internet” settings, create the dial up number accordingly, use the proxy on the browser. It should work on any mobile phone which allows connection to PC / laptop.
