[Q] GPRS Settings for EtiSalat - Afghanistan

Help Needed!
I am currently living in Mazar-E-Sharif (Northern Afghanistan).
I am a current mobile subscriber to EtiSalat. I have activated the GPRS plan and applied the required credit (1000 af) to actually run the service.
I have contacted customer service (888) and the second I mention that I have a HTC G1, they immediately say that they cannot provide support.
Anyways, I told them to activate my GPRS regardless.
Well, 24-hours later, it worked! Like a charm.
About 4-days went by and no problems. Well, as of yesterday, my phone has decided to not even recognize and EDGE network.
So, is there anyone out there that could possibly help me by providing the APN for EtiSalat - Afghanistan?
This is what I got so far:
APN: etisalat.af.wap
Proxy: 10.0.0.172
Port: 80
Thanks in advance.

Need GPRS Settings For ETISALAT Afghanistan
ETISALAT told me to set the APN to etisalat.af.wap
but that so far hasnt worked, does anyone have the full settings? I have a Google Nexus S.
thanks
Dave

Anyone have any luck with this? I'm bought a sim card and am trying to get it to work with my modem, but cannot get the internet portion to work.

Use these settings...
I am in MeS as well.
I unlocked my T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant and these settings worked...but I just got a Galaxy S II from Amazon the other day and of course these settings work for this as well, since it is already unlocked.
Check out this thread on here...these settings work...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426045

Any more XDA Users in MeS/ CM?

I spent a year there I gave up on Etisalat it sucked there AWCC rocks and better than others there much cheaper too.

Etisalat introduced HSPA+ a few months ago. Truly awesome for this place.

How can it be awesome? The APN settings are keep secret for some reason. I paid for SIM, and data plan. The APN settings they gave me dont work, and their customer service (888) is nothing but a bunch of push 2, push 4 recordings.

Name: web
APN: Etisalat.af.web is all you need.

Thank you for the reply Szadzik. Still isnt working for me. I have tried the following:
I get the Edge symbol with these settings
APN: etisalat.s.wap
proxy: 10.0.0.172
port: 80
MMS Proxy: 10.0.0.172
Port: 80
MCC: 412
MNC: 50
I dont get anything with:
APN: etisalat.af.web
rest default
Im starting to wonder if my Unlocked Samsung Vibrant can handle the freqs Etisalat uses for Data. I am sending text, and making voice calls no problem.

Etisalat-Afghanistan GPRS/APN
I'm at KAIA using an Etisalat SIM that I purchased Jun 2011. Data worked fine the whole summer using the little (overpriced) Samsung BT3410 I had to buy because my old WM5 finally gave up the ghost. Was back home ~1 yr then came back here last month (with the Samsung for local and HTC7 for other stuff). Seems Etisalat changes the settings on a whim and I had a heck of a time trying to find the right info.
So, as of today (2012-11-04), Szadzik's two line response is correct.
-- Set the "Name" to whatever you want (I usu put the APN name).
-- Set the APN ("Access name" on some devices) to "etisalat.af.web".
-- Clear out all the other settings (e.g., Proxy, DNS, UserName, PWD) and save the profile.
Once I did that (and obligatory reboot), all was good, relatively speaking (the phone itself blows so no great loss if it gets eaten by an MRAP).
@lostwhat83 (and anyone else that pulls the settings directly from the AFG Etisalat site), the information posted on the site is wrong!
--==--==--==
On a similar topic, anyone know how good the Etisalat signal/speed is at RC-SW? Heading there shortly...
thx,

Solution: Prepaid APN change after ICS upgrand

(MODs: Please excuse if this is in the wrong place. I am currently only working with the Atrix 2 after ICS so I didn't want to push this on anyone else with other devices unless someone could confirm this works across all ICS ATT prepaid devices)
This is for those who would like to use their Atrix 2 ICS (probably any other ICS device) on AT&T prepaid (Pay as You Go) service.
I was using a 3G Moto Bravo for years with the $50/month unlimited talk/text prepaid plan with $25 data plan.
After purchasing the Atrix 2 and upgrading to OTA 2.3.6, I was informed by ATT cust. care that "4G Devices will never be compatable with prepaid service."
I used APN Backup and Restore, to backup and delete all APNs and added the APN below for flawless 3G ONLY data and MMS.
After upgrading to the ICS leak, I found out ther ICS will not allow APNs to be edited by 3rd party apps, and the user still cannot remove the stock APNs, even if rooted.
SOLUTION (REQUIRES ROOT):
1.Purchase Root Explorer from the Play Store.(there may be free solutions to view/edit .db files. let me know so I can update this)
2. Make a backup of: data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
3.Purchase SQLite Editor from the Play Store
4. Remove all 'records' from: data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
5. Go home -> Settings -> More -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> New APN
6. Enter these settings for your new (only) APN:
Code:
Name: ATT
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: Not Set
Port: Not Set
Username and password are blank
Server: Not Set
Mmsc:h t t p : / / m m s c . c i n g u l a r . c o m (remove spaces)
Mms proxy: w i r e l e s s . c i n g u l a r . c o m (remove spaces)
Mms port: 80
Mcc: 310
Mnc: 410
Authentication type: Not Set
APN type: default
(please note that "Not Set" means that you do not put any data in this field.)
This may require a phone restart in order to work, but you should at least be able to access 3G data over a prepaid account. NOTE: You must have any data package for this to work. The "unlimited data" that is included in the plan does not apply to smartphones.
This is my first post, so I apologize in advance if I have broken any forum rules. I simply could not find a solution to my problem anywhere in internet land, and I wanted to prevent others from spending the 6 hours I did to get this working, or being totally disappointed to learn their new 4G device will "never be capable of running on prepaid networks". This is a lie ATT uses to make money. I would be happy to edit the post to clarify or help anyone who would like more details.

Thanks for the post!

This is entirely unneeded. I use straight talk just fine and all I did was add an APN same with att prepay.

I wish it would have been that easy. That was the first thing that I tried. (Many different ways and combinations)
I have some similar issues with customers whenever I worked for an AT&T authorized reseller, but non android devices.
However, in this case, either the network lock or some other policy in Android prevents the removal of the existing APN,s and upon entering a new APN and rebooting, the APN would disappear.
I would not have gone through a half a day's work to get this functioning properly if it would have been that easy. I'm not 100 percent sure exactly what is going on but I will give my best under standing of the situation. I was using an AT&T branded stock Atrix 2. I have been using my AT&T prepaid SIM card in a 3G device. Upon moving to AT&T SIM card to the Atrix 2, it automatically loaded 3 APNs from the Android telephony database. Those 3 have the lock symbol next to them and could not be edited or deleted, nor would a new manually entered APN stay after a reboot. when I was on Gingerbread I was able to use APN backup and restore to delete all records in the database, and only then did it allow me to add a new 1 by using the "add new" button.
. My experience with using another Gsm provider similar to straight talk, was that whenever I insert a SIM card I noticed that there were no APNs in the device by default for that network. This meant that I was allowed to add a new APN with no problem.
So, depending on if your device is branded by a particular carrier and or if android has existing APNs in its database for the service provider you are using you may have not had any trouble at all.
The conclusion I'm coming to is that you can normally just add a new APN unless there is a conflict such as the AT&T modern vs legacy access point names.
I only hope that this post will not get in anyone's way, and possibly might prevent someone hours of misery or giving up.

Ohhhh okay. I see what you're saying now. Gotcha

I've had my wife's Atrix 2 (on ICS leak, of course) on H2O and Net10, and both times all I had to do was add the APN normally. The APN should be att.mvno though, and get rid of the mms proxy and port, those can actually make MMS *not* work. Just make sure you name it something other than ATT or any of the listed APNs.

APN issue
How do I remove the following:
Remove all 'records' from: data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
I was able to fine the above path using root explorer, but when I run SQLite Editor I am not able to see above file that you asking to remove.
HTC Rezound- Root with S-ON
Thank you

i deleted all entries, and the pre locked AT&T APNs are now gone, but there are no options to add any new APNs.
Is there a way to add an APN manually or restore the option to add an APN?

Did you try editing the apn.conf in /system/etc ?
You should be able to add/remove any apn you like, once you're done go to mobile network settings > access point names then hit the menu button and reset to default. That should load the apns from your apn.conf file and hopefully you'll be good to go.

Great seems to have worked one way or another. Thanks! I managed to add a new APN (straight talk) and data seemed to work for a few minutes, but after powering down and powering up, data has once again cutoff and will not come back on.
The 4G symbol is there but it won't turn blue or show any data transmission. I've tried a factory reset and add/delete the APN that worked, but still can't seem to get the data to go up or down anymore. Calls and regular SMS still work.
Pretty sad over that tease after days of banging m head against the wall...:crying:
Any ideas anyone?

Are your apns still set to what they should be? Have you tried turning of your wifi and sending yourself a mms msg? That's usually the best way to test whether apns are working or not.

Yeah, the APNs are the correct APNs. MMS won't send or receive. I actually unlocked the phone and played with the settings and that seemed to fix things. I though the phone had somehow relocked itself, but other carrier SIMs seem to work in the phone now.
The display is showing 4G access but there is no data transmission. Even after deleting the APNs the 4G symbol does not disappear and readding it has no affect.
It was working for a bit just yesterday, but I cant seem to get the phone to transmit any data up or down since then.

What settings did you mess around with? Also, a straight to the point solution would be to call the provider and get the proper apn settings (if you haven't already). If your 4G is lit up, but you can't push or pull data, then you might have an auth value wrong, or a proxy wrong, etc. If you haven't already, call and get the apns straight from the source.

MMS not working on AT&T with xt925

I recently got the XT925 fido version and I am using it on AT&T, everything is working beautifully, hsdpa, LTE works perfect as well. The only issue I'm having is that mms messages or picture messages come in where it asks me to download, I tap download but it does not download the image, it just sits there. One issue is that everyone who is sending to me is sending from an iPhone so that may have something to do with it. If anyone knows a way to get around this issue with mms I'd appreciate the help, thank you.

Check your APN. Are you using something that is automatically selected by the phone or did you enter one in manually?

Don't forget to make sure you select it after saving it, because the OS will not do that automatically. Reboot the phone, go back to the APN list and make sure it's still there and selected. Try sending or receiving MMS to it. The automatically selected entry is an older APN and this new one might actually give you a small LTE speed boost. Give it a shot with SpeedTest.

pta does not seem to be working on my phone. the hsdpa apn is working and i get lte from it. mms does not work with the hsdpa the settings you provided i actually attempted to create new apn with them but i don't get data connectivity with the pta apn, i don't know what the problem is, i'm wondering if it has something to do with the way att has my account setup since i'm coming from an iphone 5 and i never notified them that i got a new phone. Could this be possible?

just to let everyone here know, I am coming for an at&t iphone 5 lte, and i bought a fido xt925 from ebay. by default when i go into the apn settings there are 5 apns available, out of those 5, 2 of them are pta and hsdpa, I am not able to use the pta at all, it will not get data connectivity at all for me. Also lets take into account that i am using my sim card from my iphone 5 which is a nano sim so i am using an adapter to size that sim to a micro sim to get it into the razr hd. the only apn with which i get data is the hsdpa apn, when using that apn i am able to get hspa+ and LTE because i see the symbol changes from H+ to 4G and i have tested and I do get lte speeds. The mms problem i noticed is only when i am using LTE, when i am using the hspa+ i am able to send and receive mms messages. basically when the phone has H+ i can get and send mms but when the phone goes to 4G I am not able to send or receive mms. Very strange I will be contacting at&t about this.

I'm sorry to hear you're still having issues with MMS. I just did a firmware restore on my phone and was able to select PTA and use MMS in WiFi, H+ and LTE. I'm not sure how much of an assistance AT&T will be willing to offer though, since you are using a phone that is not normally provisioned by them. I've ran into cases where they just shrugged and told me it's not their problem when I had data issues with the International Note.

[Q] Using Cell (Nexus4) + Telus Flex (for ipad) + VOIP (Fongo). APN Configuration

EDIT: SOLVED!!!!
turns out that Telus somehow makes your phone switch from isp.telus.com to sp.telus.com. You must delete any SP.Telus.com APNs. Just to be saved, I deleted all the preset APN's and added my own with no Proxy or Port no. **additionally, i had a security app that was sending texts that there was an unauthorized SIM in my phone. If you have any security app in your phone, make sure you log into it and register the SIM, otherwise it will send texts using the tablets number which will be very expensive.
Hello. This is my first post and I'm sorry if i break any rules, but I haven't found any solution after several days of research.
I have a Nexus 4, Root, Cyanogenmod 10.3, 4.3.
Today I went to Telus and got a SIM that i said was for an ipad so that i could use a Data-only Flex plan with Voip app (Fongo).
I have used this for about a year with Fido, but I liked the Flex bracketing used by Telus.
When I put the SIM in the phone, I went straight to The APN settings. there were three APNs there, one sp.kooddo, one sp.telus, and one isp.telus. I know ipads require the APN isp.telus.com so i selected the last (isp.telus.com), however after use of 1mb, my account showed pay-per-use usage amounting to $6. the preset isp.telus is named "Telus SP Tether." I'm thinking the problem might still be in the APN name. I deleted both the sp.telus ones just to be extra safe.
I added an APN as recommended on the Telus site for ipads/tablets:
APN: isp.telus.com
Proxy: 74.49.0.18
Port: 80
the preset isp.telus.com (Telus SP Tether) had proxy and port empty, but their MMA proxy and MMS port had the above settings.
I don't know if this is was the problem.
There was one thread on XDA about successful setup of Telus tablet flex data SIM in GS3, however, i could not follow their steps because of different menu functionality in the N4. (thread)
OP recomended to make APN, then press BACL instead of SAVE, and then select Radio Button. But if i go back without saving, the APN is cleared and there is no Radio Button.
Telus had put $10 worth of charges for text messages i didn't send. I had Telus block sending and receiving texts, but they still go through and get charged. strangely it's to my moms and borthers cells and its at exact same times (to the second) (e.g. Telus has it that I sent 7 messages at exactly each of these times to both contacts: 3:00:00, 4:00:00, 5:00:00, and 10:00:00). I have no idea what these are....
Additionally, Telus never asked for my IMEI (Fido did require an IMEI of an ipad). when i called in to Telus, they read back the IMEI they had, and it was of the N4. could they be blocking me access to FLEX plan and forcing me into pay as you go?
Thank you for all your help.

You can use your existing SIM, but I ran *228 on mine a while ago and wanted back to 4gLTE
I obtained a new SIM from Straight Talk for free
You can get the SIM on Wal-Mart.com for $5 (BYOD Kit)
I had them re-provision my phone
I ported my number
I had problems with everything after a while
I reflashed to Lollipop - Fresh Everything
It went back to the Straight Talk network after flashing (fresh not-dirty)
I can now text as well (not sure this ever stopped)
I called Straight Talk and got an APN from them since none of the APN I had was working
Within a minute of placing in the APN it was working
APN Info
acct.tf.gw6.vzwentp
mcc = 311
mnc = 480
apn type = default,dun,supl
apn protocol = 4 & 6 (local and roaming)
LTE now rocking like a champ
Just wanted to share my experience.

wow, it's too bad i called straight talk 70 times and they couldn't tell me this

New setting is
TRACFONE.VZWENTP

I've tried this and numerous other APNs on my LG G2 (VS980) but I've had no luck. Anyone have any other suggestions to try out? I've called ST a few times and have even tried a new SIM card to no avail. Still stuck with 3G

If your on straight talk do you have the right sim card? If it's a verizon device you need a specific CDMA sim card

Yes. Both cards that I've tried are cdma. When I switch my radio to GSM I get no signal. LTE only, no signal. And CDMA I get 3G. ST says that I have all my provisions and that the signal should switch on its own, but 3 weeks later, still no 4G

With straight talk all you need is the app to set the APN settings on most phones. As long as it's set it should work. I've had 3 phones now that work like a charm on straight talk

I've also tried the app and I think its only for GSM phones. I've also tried flashing different ROMs but that didn't work either. I'm running out of options for getting this phone to work. I'm almost starting to believe that they are doing this on purpose so that I spend money on a new phone. Lol.

I have a VZW S3 that I used the app on and ran 4G with no issues. I used the app to add the APN settings just fine. I've noticed custom roms have the APN settings built in

Straight talk has a data settings app in the play store but most phones now automatically recognize the apn settings via the sim card

Just wanted to say this worked for my dad's LG Treasure (ugh.) Spent about an hour scouring the net and this is the thing that fixed it.
Thanks!
Edit- Also the ST Data app errored out when I pressed "Go." Useless.

I dont understand how the dumb ZTE phone i bought for $40 from walmart with a straight talk plan works AMAZING, gets 25mbps speeds, gets awesome signal. But the S4 i just bought the BYOD sim card for just refuses to get a good signal, gets slow speeds 1mbps to 5mbps, constanly loses its data. I dont know what to do. Im about to just go back to the phone that can only handle one app open at a time since its actaully worked. It would be nice to use navigation and listen to pandora though lol

data offline and no mms
My rooted Verizon GS5 with TF sim card is randomly losing data service (group mms is now working with textra). ST customer service provided an APN but the issue with data offline is recurring. I used BuildProp and APNchangeR apps to update APN settings (leave all other fields blank) steps:
1. Installed BuildProp, Edit code at bottom to add:
#Code:
ril.sales_code=LOL
ro.csc.sales_code=LOL
2. Save changes and Restart Phone
3. Open APNchangeR (Note: APN will disappear after saving but is there)
Name: TRACFONE.VZWENTP
APN: tfdata
4. Open BuildProp, edit to remove code, save, and restart.
From this post, it appears the settings provided by ST might be wrong and should be:
Name: TRACFONE.VZWENTP
APN: Info
MMSC: acct.tf.gw6.vzwentp
MCC: 311
MNC: 480
APN Type: default,dun,supl
APN Protocol: 4 & 6 (local and roaming)
*After updating settings to above, is anyone still getting data offline or mms issues?

Missing a few things for the apns. I know with newer phones you don't even need to add the apn manually where as the sim card is automatically recognized. I can screenshot what is missing but I know if varies by device. My Nexus 5 was recognized by default as well as the N6 but the S3 needed to be input manually. My co worker has an S5 and it also needed to be input manually

Those are the APNs I've used on ST S3 for 2 years, no issues at all. What is missing? They are also the APNs I got from Tracfone/Straight Talk.
The N5 I got my wife and put on ST didn't need APNs set either, it did that by default from SIM.
