How to Connect internet using your mobile (SE S312, SE W205, SGH S3310, SGH 312, SE p990i, Motorola V60 ) phone whithout PC suite

I recently purchased a Sony Ericsson s312, But unfortunately Sony ericsson stopped their  PC suite support for this model. I was so disappointed when I found this because I used to browse internet using my previous mobile as modem in my computer through Airtel Gprs.  After a week of research and spent my reasonable time in searching over the internet, I found the procedure to connect internet without having a Pc suite installed.I thought it will be nice to share with you people, at least this post will save your time. This article will guide you to configure internet in your computer using SE S312 mobile but the same procedure will work for all mobile phones...

TO ACTIVATE GPRS IN YOUR MOBILE


     If you are a  Aircel users, Aircel online service must be activated to use your mobile phone as modem even though Aircel gprs is working.

    To activate aircel online service, sms  GPRS BP SONY S312 ("Sony s312" is the manufacturer and model name of your phone) and send to 57788, Gprs will be activated within 48 hrs,

    Then,  sms  WAP to 121, receive the online service setting for your mobile.


If you are a Airtel users, you only need to activate Gprs, nothing else to be activated.

     To activate one day Internet pack, Type *555*2# while your mobile is on standby screen and click on send. After a while the gprs will be activated for you and to receive gprs setting SMS MO to 52567 you will receive gprs settings as sms. You need to save those settings.

Note: For gprs i will suggest u  to use Vodafone(30-40 Kbps), because of the speed. Other providers u will get the speed mentioned below
Airtel(20-30 Kbps)
Aircel(10-20 Kbps) in urban
Aircel(1-6 Kbps)in rural, as they use tower which does not support edge networking.
If ur provider supports edge networking and u r in that area, it can identified with gprs symbol of the phone
E-Edge networking enabled - we can get more speed in gprs
G-Edge networking not enabled

Configure Gmail in your mobile

1. Enable POP in Gmail. See the I part to enable pop in your gmail account. Don't forget to click Save Changes when you're done.

2. Configure your client to match the settings below

Incoming Mail (POP3) Server - requires SSL      :       pop.gmail.com

Use SSL                                         :       Yes

Port                                            :       995
......
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server                     :       smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)

Use Authentication                              :      Yes

Port for TLS/STARTTLS                           :       587 Port for SSL: 465

Account Name                                    :       your full Name

Email Address                                   :       your email address (username@gmail.com)

Password                                        :       your Gmail password

Unless you're using recent mode to download mail to multiple clients, make sure you've opted not to leave messages on the server.

Your Gmail settings determine whether or not messages stay on the server, so this setting in your client won't affect how Gmail handles your mail.

Please note that if your client does not support SMTP authentication, you won't be able to send mail through your client using your Gmail address.

Also, if you're having trouble sending mail but you've confirmed that encryption is active for SMTP in your mail client, try to configure your SMTP server on a different port: 465 or 587.

3. You're now ready to use POP with your Gmail address.
