Connect Internet through AirTel Mobile Office
July 23rd, 2008 | Tagged as: airtel mobile office ¤ connect internet | Download as PDFSince 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.



Howdy! My name is Ashish K Saini aka Ashfame.

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

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 i ve nokia 2600 classic ..i dont ve data cable for this mobile feature but i ve bluetooth …can i used mobile office for airtel with my moblie ……

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

Hello Ashfame…. Pretty good work. Appreciated. I need your help. I will be India for 1 month. During that time I would need to access internet/IM through my laptop probably using my 3g cell phone (LG Incite). I plan to get a local sim card on rental basis. What features are avaialable in rented sim card; I mean, Data, MO etc. and which vendor can provide that? I will be in and around Kolkata. I probably will be able to set up connectivity part between phone and PC, as I am having similar connection already set up now (in US), as my cell phone has Data services and gets internet directly in the phone. I want to know what type of SIM card/services I should rent for that short period of my stay in India. And who supports that? Looking for your answer or any good link in this area. Thanks.
@Syamal
Internet from SIM cards is a poorly managed affair here in India. Don’t expect too much speed. If your budget allows then go for a data card with a limited plan. If you just need access for checking mails and things that don’t require much bandwidth then you can bet on SIM cards. I would recommend Airtel Mobile Office Plan. It should cost you 8USD for a month. Pretty cheap. Isn’t it? Let me know if you have other queries.
Thanks Ashfame for your quick response (you rock!!!).
) Thanks again.
I read somewhere that getting Airtel MO (or any other) needs some paper work – like photo, passport, etc. and can not be done online. Is that true? I prefer to manage everything online and probably SIM card also delivered in my India address and when I land in Kolkata, I just change the SIM card and get connected. Let me know (take your time, I can wait
@Syamal
Yes you do need to complete the formalities but you can buy a SIM hand to hand if you know someone here who can provide ID & Address proof and take the connection on his name. Regarding the online booking, I have no idea but there must be a provision for foreign customers coming for a month or two. Better get in touch with their customer support.

I have a nokia 3110c and i want to nokia pici suite software connect to wab on airtel mobile office
I am broken my Airtel Sim. Better way for internet is BSNL Broadband.
Some point for comparing Airtel & BSNL.
(1.) Airtel charged Rs. 20/day with 8mb limit it’s mean Rs.600/month for 240mb. But BSNL Broadband offers Rs. 250/month with 1024mb (1GB) limit.
(2.) Airtel charged 75 Rs./mb if you crossed free usage limit But BSNL charged only 0.40 Rs./mb.
(3.) Airtel’s maximum net speed is only 5-15 kbps But BSNL provide 512 kbps to 2mbps.
Some other BSNL Features:-
Now BSNL landline connection is free
BSNL gives free Insurance worth Rs. 5000 to Landline customers
BSNL provide Linux based NovaNet PC in just 2300 Rs. for Urban & 3000 Rs. For Rural Broadband Users, to know more visit http://www.novatium.com
NovaNet users also get 20% discount on all broadband plans.
Special plans for Rural Customers
400mb @ 99/month
1GB @ 150/month
4gb @ 250/month
with free Landline connection, Free Modem & Free Installation.
So Compare & Enjoy…

cant setup my bluetooth device on my laptop it’s suppose to be inbuilt but recieves an error message that says
An error occured while windows was saving your settings. The blutooth device might be unplugged.
The following settings were not saved:
Discoverability settings
Connection settings
@wilfred
Its an issue which was faced by me too. Try searching on Google.
airtel mobile office gives only 10-15 kbps speed which is not sufficient i need at least 30 kbps for browsing net. I am student of biotechnology and it is +ve thing for to brows the net 10 Rs/day because ican’t buy broadband cards.
@Vinay
You can’t get 30KBps on regular data cards. You will need to buy the newer ones which works on 3G spectrum like TATA photon etc

I tried both torrent as well as google search for that drives but everytime it shows some instant online scan and does not allow to download that particular drives…its a request if you can please send me link to the file if possible for you ?
Don’t look on torrents for now. Go to their official site and there look for it. If you need more help, then contact their support.
If your one is pretty new in the market, then it might not be having drivers at the moment and if it is having them, you will find on their official site for sure!
