atel intnt

Let me make a few points clear before we start :

1) This is NOT a hack or a trick.Completely safe /Legal method
2)Whatever You download/Browse will be deducted from your GPRS account(Can be checked by USSD *123*10#)
3)If you are not subscribed to a GPRS pack your balance may take a serious hit.:D
3)It works in New Delhi and maybe in NCR. If it is working for you,please confirm in the comments section below.If not hard luck
4)Only Android 2.2 and above
5)If you are already using it,then goody good.
6)Please don't post it in other forums/websites/Blogs, It makes everyone look bad.



Why?

>>Because Recently Air tel has started acting like an asstel. The edge speeds have dropped to around 4 KBPS(from around 24 KBPS), while The tariff has been increased from 98/2GB to 98/1Gb. We the regular customers deserve better.


Basics


Step 1 :

1)I am already assuming you have an air tel sim with GPRS activated.If not please dial *567*11# to activate GPRS.(default plan)


2)Activate 3G on your phone By sending sms "3g" to 121. Wait for confirmation.No need to subscribe to those super expensive 3G plans.

3)If you are not yet subscribed to a GPRS plan please Dial *567# from your mobile and choose a plan. Rs 60- 1 GB-14 days works fine.


Step 2

1)Goto mobile networks in settings and check . There should be 2-3 apn's listed . "Airtel Internet" or "Mobile office" is the default one for GPRS. It has access point as "airtelgprs.com" . This is what you have been using till now and one that works with all apps on your phone including the browser.

2)There should be another apn called "airtel live". If it is not there Please create a new apn with following data

access point : airtelfun.com
Proxy: 100.1.200.99
Port:8080

Rest all values to be left default.
(If you dont know how to create Apns,pls refer Google)

Set The Apn "Air tel Live" as default.

3)Now Goto network settings and select "WCDMA only" or "3G only" depending on the phone model. (If the option is not available, Install launcher pro>Press long on homescreen>shortcuts>LP Activities>scroll down to settings>look for testing settings>make that a shortcut)


4)Thats It done. Now Access The WEB at speed of Light :ashamed: (pertaining to the restrictions already mentioned)


But with this profile Only 2 apps can access the market:

1)Web browser(default android)
2)UCWEB


Market,FB,etc will NOT work with this profile.

To make GAPPS and other apps work please follow The following steps:



Advanced

Caution: whatever happens to your phone ,Data , etc I am not responsible.

>>>>>>>>>>Please dont Visit banking sites,shopping,corporate email,etc with these settings , yes You get the drift..

1)Go to XDA and look for an app called "Transproxy" for transparent proxy.
2)Install the latest Beta on your phone.
3)make sure you are able to access web using the default browser.
4)Next open transproxy and in the middle column select proxy type= "http" , proxy add= "100.1.200.99" and port as "8080"

5)Now Try opening the market again,With luck It should work fine and so should other apps.
