Bell Network and Telstra SBF. (How to get Data Working)

[Mossys]

Flashing this I've come across this problem with the "no internet service." or "Failed to connect to internet."

Simple steps to fix this:

Go to:
Settings>Wireless & Network Settings>Network Settings>Access Point Names.

Now input the following.


Name: Bell
APN: pda.bell.ca
Proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca
Port: 80
Username <Not set>
Password <Not set>
Server <Not set>
MMSC: http://ms.bell.ca/mms/wapenc
MMS proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca
MSS port: 80
MCC: 302
MNC: 610
Authentication type <Not set>
APN type <Not set>


AGAIN, I live in Ontario (Toronto Area) This got my Bell data for internet to work with the Telstra SBF.
Don't know how its the same all around Canada.

If it's Bell it'll work. If it's another carrier the settingd are slightly different. Just google "your carrier's name+apn settings". Ex. ROGERS+APN SETTINGS, and there you go.

Its always nice to post this information here.

Not saying its hard to find. Just giving a helping hand to a fellow Bell users.

This never works for me. is there anything you have to do after putting in these settings?

like restart the phone maybe?

Hi, I don't know if this is information everyone knows, but I download APN Backup & Restore from the market. I backup the APN's I currently have, copy it to my pc (incase the SD card gets erased), then once i flash my new sbf I download APN backup and Restore again and restore my old APN list. It worked with my hero so I figured it would work here and it did.

If this is information everyone already has please ignore it, but I hope it helps.

When you entered everything, you press the menu key, you save the settings, then you punch the back key and you select the new APN you just entered
