Since our college is in the outskirts of city and there is no provision of internet in our hostel, the only way to get connected to internet is to access internet through one of the dial up services like AirTel, Idea, BSNL etc. This tutorial shows how to access internet through AirTel Mobile Office (MO) on your computer (Desktop/Laptop) via Data Cable / Bluetooth. I have cover here the method of setting up a Nokia phone (my Nokia 3230) on windows with the help of Nokia PC Suite. If you want to setup connection without installing PC Suite, then you will need to contact AirTel for providing you manual settings. Apart from this, I will be only using the PC Suite to setup access for the first time and then there is no need of PC Suite software.
Setup AirTel Mobile Office via Bluetooth
- Install Nokia PC Suite on your computer.
- Switch Bluetooth ON on your computer & mobile phone and make sure both the devices are able to detect each other. If they are not being detected, then you can try enabling discovery in your bluetooth settings (on computer).
- After being detected, your Nokia phone will itself appears as connected on PC Suite. If not, click Get Connected and select Bluetooth. You should be able to connect your phone now.
- Select Connect to the Internet option.
- Select Settings.
- Select your Modem (Standard Bluetooth over Modem link).
- Select network operator (in our case, its AirTel India).
- Now click Connect and you will be live on the internet.
Setup AirTel Mobile Office via Data Cable
- Install Nokia PC Suite on your computer.
- Connect the phone to the computer via Data Cable.
- Your Nokia phone will itself appears as connected on PC Suite. If not, click Get Connected and select Cable connection. You should be able to connect your phone now.
- Select Connect to the Internet option.
- Select Settings.
- Select your Modem (Nokia 3230 USB Modem).
- Select network operator (in our case, its AirTel India).
- Now click Connect and you will be live on the internet.
Pretty easy! Isn’t it. Now that you have setup the settings, you can un-install PC Suite and continue using it. One more reason of not using PC Suite to connect to internet is that you will have to keep the One Touch Access window open all the time. Here is how to do it.
In Win XP :
- Open My Network Places by clicking on the desktop icon and if the icon is not there, then open My Computer and then pressing the UP button and you will see the My Network Places.
- On the left column, select View Network Connections.
- You can now see icons for DialUp connections you just setup.
- Right Click and Create Shortcut on Desktop.
- You can now use this shortcut to connect to internet. (Leave Username & Password blank)
In Win Vista :
It should be in the View Network Connections only. Look around and make your way out simlilarly as described in case of Win XP.
If you are facing any issues in connecting internet through this method, then let me know about it and I will try my best to help you.

Hey ashish nice post with step wise instructions. I had us mobile office many times n still using it. I got a question for u. Does speed of internet changes when connected with bluetooth dongle or data cable? Or it remains same in both case. Other thing I wanna tell u is the best time to download while using internet on pc via mobile is in morning 3 am to 8 am This is the time when you get maximum speed.
@Jayadrathsingh
Speed of internet is limited only when you are connected via bluetooth and you are getting good speeds (EDGE) else it doesn’t make any difference.
Bluetooth Connection gives you ~ 115Kbps and Data Cable Connection gives you ~ 460Kbps. This is the speed with your phone is connected with the phone and the maximum transfer rate it can achieve. You won’t get greater speeds than your connecting speeds even if your internet speed is good.
So connecting via data cable is a better option and also it saves you on battery as bluetooth connection increases battery consumption rate.
I hope I am clear. If not, then let me know.

Can you describe your problem in detail?
Dear Friends,
This is anjan here from Bangalore. I have a query.
i am using my N70 Mobile set for Internet connection to my Desctop PC. Whenever I connect my Mobile to the Internet it shows the speed is 460Kbps. But in reality it doesn’t work that much speed all the time. Is it a problem with My handset or the Server speed?
Note: My HandSet is having 1GB Memory card. In that I am using around 600MB for Music. Is it matters to the internet Speed.
Kindly clarify me.

@Anjan
The speed it shows is the speed with which your mobile device is connected to your computer and not the speed of internet. Internet speed depends on various factors like traffic, free bandwidth, location etc

@Clifford Dmello
You will need the drivers of your phone. Without it you can’t get it detected in your phone. Ask the manufacturer about it. They might point you in some direction.
Rest In Peace

[...] Connect Internet through AirTel Mobile Office see above link, and check whether you need anything else ! [...]
@sunny
Well It must be supporting. Kindly consult the manual which came along with it.
@Cletus
Some problems always creep into connecting to internet. Its better to get in touch with Airtel GPRS helpline (Not the regular Customer Care - Ask them for GPRS helpline number)

@Reena
You will need the drivers in any case else your phone can’t communicate with the computer.
hi ashish.. ur site is very helpfull..i hav a question..does the speed depend on the phone u`re using?? i mean which one is a better phone for mobile office.. nokia or sony erricsson?? does it make any difference actually??
@pravin
It doesn’t matter on the brand.
The only case in which there will be bottleneck in performance is when your network provides EDGE coverage but your phone doesn’t support EDGE but only GPRS. So you will be connected at a lower speed.
Apart from this your connecting medium also matters.
Data Cable gives high speed as compared to bluetooth connection if network is providing high speed connection as then the speed of communication link will decide the total speed (it will act as a bottleneck). I hope I am clear.

Hi am using nokia 3230 and airtel mobile office to connect my hp 550 laptop with windows home basic to the internet.
My problem is
DATA CABLE:
Case 1
Click connect from one touch access(OTA). It says connecting device and ends up with error “Failed to connect to the network! one touch access could not connect to the selected device”
Case 2
OTA will say opening port >connecting device>verifing user name and password, and end up like “Failed to establish a network connection”
when these 2 error message come up it usually works when i restart my phone.
With Bluetooth
“Failed to connect to the network! one touch access could not connect to the selected device” . I have to restart my phone to establish connection.
The biggetst problem with bluetooth is that the connection wil be lost after some time although OTA says connected. The small “light green ballon ” between two computers will disappear in my windows taskbar and IE will not open any page. I will have to reconnect to make it reappear and use internet.
ok
