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

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...

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...

Hi, I'm way in over my head here and sure could use some help!
I have Galaxy S2 SkyRocket i727, gingerbread 2.3.5 that I purchased off Ebay. Great phone unfortunitly my carrier dosen't sell or support this phone. They only carried a couple smart phone choices that really wasn't much of an option so I just took their free phone hoping I could just insert my Consumer Celluar Sim into the Galaxy. Everything works fine except, no 3G data connection. I have one of the "Connect" dataplans CC offers but am unable to set the correct APN setting on this phone.
The stock AT&T rom apn setting do not allow me to enter some of settings for CC like Proxy Push.
These are CC web apn configuration settings
Name: Web
Proxy Push: Enabled
Authentication Type: Secure
GPRS access point: att.mvno
Homepage: mmsc.cingular.com
I'm wondering if I root the phone and flash a custom rom would that allow me to enter the correct APN configuration settings? Is anyone aware of a custom rom out there that would do this or have any other solutions?
Leon
I think once you're rooted and flash a custom rom on, you'll be able to enter the APN's manually. I have the skyrocket and flashed DJ ICS Plus V2.0, wickid rom btw, and I'm using it on straight talk. It allowed me to put the APN's in manually while deleting the previous APN's already on the phone.
Thanks Pak, I'll give it a try and see what happens.
Custom Rom for Galaxy S2 SkyRocket
I flashed the new ROM DJ ICS Plus V2.0 but am still not seeing how I can change the APN setting to work with my carrier Consumer Cellular.
The carrier data setting need to be
Name: US - Consumer Cellular Web
APN: att.mvno
Proxy: Enabled
MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0
Authentication Type: PAP
APN Type: default, supl
In the S2 Access Point Setting there isn't a field to enter Protocol and no "supl" APN choice. Also if you don't include 310 in the MCC field and 410 in the MNC field you can't save the Access Point settings at all.
In regards to MMS Protocol, I'm assuming the rom has it already preloaded to WAP 2.0 or something since thats what I needed it to be anyways so I didnt have to enter anything. For APN type, I selected "internet" for my data and when I had another APN set up for my mms, I just selected "mms". In regards to MCC and MNC, you should be able to enter the 310 and 410. It shows up on mine.
Your right about WAP already being configured because email and other connections work. Messaging works too, just not data. I tried internet and internet & mms options for the APN Type but neither worked. I also tried inputing the server name of mmsc.cingular.com as suggested on their web site for non-Consumer Cellular phones but no luck with that either.
I had to leave 310 MCC and 410 MNC values in those fields because it would not save the Access Point if left blank or with any other values input.
the link below probably wont be much help but he had his proxy set up as proxy.mvno.ccmobileweb.com, maybe that will make a difference?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=904249
I had seen this site before also, tried it but no luck either. I must be missing something altogether here. You wouldn't think this would be such a difficult problem to solve.
dude I don't know, I know you probably did this but did you put "http://mmsc.cingular.com" instead of "mmsc.cingular.com"? I dont know if the http in front will do anything.
These guys below say you can only get data using EDGE, not while 3G is turned on (mind you its an iphone). Maybe turn off your 3G and see if it picks it up?

Is your SIM card designed to handle 3G data connections? Not all SIMs are created equal, after all. Granted, you'd think that recently-made SIMs would support 3G, but you're not always going to be so lucky. I know this was a major issue once upon a time when 3G networks started to roll out more consistently and not everyone had a 3G-capable SIM.
In other words, has this SIM been able to talk to 3G networks before? Or is this the first phone you've put this SIM card in that has 3G?
If your SIM doesn't support 3G, ask your provider for a 3G-enabled replacement SIM.
Let the yelling begin. Just got my G2x from ebay

any ideas.
so if everything works, whats the problem?
the problem is no data . no internet
That would be a sim issue. You may need an unlock code to have access. Other wise check your vpns

Well alright, I just read phone works text work and so on... try putting in the apn's in??? I just googled this try looking more if it doesn't work for you. Other than that maybe SIM???

unlock code
I think the phone is unlocked. That is they way it was sold . Says t-mobile on it but when calling or txting displays att ( that is the nokia e71 sim ), and the the att.mvno that I entered .
How do I check if it is unlocked?
If its unlocked it should all work. http://www.taniwha.org.uk/gprs.html Try looking through here. US is almost all the way at the bottom. Not sure exactly what your using. Not sure if you need the sim carrier or the baseband carrier.
Edit: oh, and if you have access to the phone when you put your sim card in, you said your making calls and sending texts. Yeah, your phones unlocked. The internet thing though is a little weird.
straight talk g2x
It could be the way straighttalk connects to internet. The sim from E71 nokia works with I phones and straighttalk can't find any info why it wouldn't work with android. Thanks for your input.
Lg G2x on straighttalk setup that works
Here are the steps I used to get MMS working on Moto Backflip with Android 2.1
First download Apn Backup and Restore app from app store, and delete all existing APNs. Then manually enter APNs. In android you must have 2 apns setup for mms to work (at least in my case).
Here are my settings:
Name
HOME
APN
att.mvno
Leave everything else alone EXCEPT the bottom selection that says:
APN type (here you must enter the following)
default,supl
Then save, next choose to add another APN
make it look like this:
Name
MMS
APN
att.mvno
skip down to
MMSC
http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy
proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
MMS port
80
skip to:
APN type (enter the following)
mms
THEN SAVE
You will see that only one APN has the option to be chosen, that is ok, Just choose the one that is able to be chosen.
Now go back to Homescreen and then reboot your phone.
This works for me, hope it can help you. I tried a hundred different ways and this was it. Capitalization is important, and the APN type was the trick.
GOOD LUCK and let me know if it worked for you.

it works 2g where I am now but I am in
Did you get the data to work? I've been considering going to ST. I've had them before, and for a prepaid company, had really good experience with the service in my area. The same can't be said for Tmo
Lg G2x on straighttalk setup that works
yes it works. The configuration I used is posted a few days ago. The speed for connection shows 2g. Other than that it works well. I am looking for the code to get 3g now. If you read the code above you will see the words tracfone. That is a 2g network ( I think ). I think I have to change that.
Well it's all the same company. Not sure how they handle that. I wonder if it might have something to do with using the SIM you used, (which would make ST right when they said you need a new one.) In any case, I'll just be buying a SIM from them to use on my phone, so maybe it'll work out fine. Unfortunately, I'm still under contract at the moment, so it may be a little while longer.
Straight Talk works well on the default Tmobile ROM, but I just upgraded to Eagles Blood and the T-Mobile SIM settings do not work at all on Straight Talk (for MMS+Internet). Does anyone know of a fix?
These are my settings:
Name: Straight Talk
APN: wap.tracfone.com
Port: 8080
MMSC: http://mms.tracfone.com
MCC: 310
MNC: 260

Edit: Nevermind
I just purchased a used Galaxy S2 SGH-I727R skyrocket that was originally purchased from Rogers in Canada a year ago by the original owner. The phone was completely stock with stock Rogers firmware, most up to date version 4.0.4. The phone box shows LTE DUAL BAND 700MHz/AWS as the capable signal bands on this phone. I'm not sure if any of these are blocked on the Rogers custom firmware.
I unlocked the phone and tried to use it on Fido LTE network, which works on the same network as Rogers as it is part of the same parent company now. However, my phone will not pick up the LTE signal, no matter what. The SIM is brand new from Fido on their new LTE network that I got just 2 weeks ago. The SIM is properly provisioned for LTE as after installing sim in the phone, the apn settings window automatically populates with FIDO LTE settings (ltemobile.apn and ltedata.apn for tethering). I also have a full LTE and 4g data plan.
As LTE would not connect, I entered fido's regular 4g/3g settings as a separate apn and the phone connected right away to the 4G network (with very good speeds, DL up to 11MBps and uploads up to 2-3 MBps). I'm in the downtown Mississauga area right beside toronto and this area is fully covered with LTE. I tried using the 'data roaming' option to see if there was any difference, I tried to manually select fido in the 'network operators' section etc but playing around with these options generated zero success.
I looked up forums on Fido where even though this phone is not in their line up of supported devices, their helpdesk suggested that any Canadian LTE phone with proper fido lte data plan and proper lte sim should work on LTE. I even drove around in areas near my house where I've seen a friend use Fido's LTE signal on his Fido htc one device, but no success on my phone.
***Some people have activated proper LTE signal on their Google Nexus 4 American phones for use in Canada by dialing *#*#4636#*#* and then going into the following menu's 'phone information' section to select LTE or a different PRL option with LTE. I tried to do the same thing but when I enter this hidden menu's 'phone information' section, my screen blanks out, phone becomes unresponsive and after a minute or 2 I get a message that some android system file was closed etc. I tried de-activating the data connection and tried to enter the same menu option but same end result. I thought maybe rooting the phone will give me access to this menu but even after successful root, my phone blanks out when entering that 'phone information' menu.
Can anyone suggest something or help me figure this out please. I have a feeling the PRL or LTE option needs to be selected manually here and I need to access that menu. Since FIDO LTE network on Rogers existing LTE network was activated a year later, there may be some updates needed in this area (as the phone was originally set up for Rogers LTE from a year ago).
OR, should I just call FIDO support, and assuming they help me with a non-fido phone, try to get this sorted out with their techs?
Thanks
weird when you say the box says "aws", rogers doesnt support aws as far as i know, wind uses aws, i cant find my box to check
did you perferm a factory reset, which modem are you on
EDIT: phone does support aws, but cant see why it would state it on the box if its from rogers
Because the LTE networks are running on AWS and in some cases 2600 MHz frequencies by the big providers in Canada. Even thourgh only Wind/mobilicity use the new AWS for their regular 3G/4G networks, the LTE with Rogers/Bell/Telus is on AWS while their regular non-lte signals are still on their standard gsm bands.

k, but did you check which modem you are on
did you perform a reset.
u stated you entered this, *#*#4636#*#* you should of not received errors(but i tested on jb)
try this for band preference *#2263#
try a working rogers lte sim card and see what happens
are the fido apns the same as rogers
try the rogers apns, used to work for the 3g when i was on fido but that was b4 they offered lte
last resort but maybe your best option, flash stock w/odin, howto in my sig

Thanks again for your help. I realized later on that I got the non-LTE sim card from Fido, so I went back yesterday and got an LTE sim card and had it activated. However, I can never get LTE even though a person sitting beside me on her Rogers S3 with the exact same apn (as I realized rogers and Fido have the exact apn's for LTE network, ltemobile.apn) is getting LTE. I know Fido is the value brand, so they get secondary priority on LTE, which is ok but I realized the problem below:
WHEN I had the non-LTE sim and even with the LTE sim now, one option has never worked. In the mobile network screen, I'm supposed to have just the Ltemobile.apn (Fido and Rogers LTE) radion button selected and Ltedata.apn (for tether) as the default options. These are also built into the rogers stock rom and this phone is originally a rogers a phone. My friend's S3 has the same 2 apn's listed while she's connected to rogers LTE (her's is micro sim, I couldn't try it on mine). With these options, I CAN'T connect to ANY data network at all. I can only do calls, no data. I tried doing batter reset, restarts, change the LTE/HSPA and HSPA etc settings, no luck. The ONLY time I get data is when I manually enter the non-LTE apn settings as a separate apn (Fido-core-appl1.apn) and it connects to 4G. The speeds were good earlier but since changing to the LTE sim, the same 4G keeps disconnecting or it gives much much lower speeds.
As per your suggestion, I followed your thread to re-install the stock rogers ICS rom with odin. Even after that, no change at all. I tried using the *#2263# option to change LTE band to 7 or auto, but no luck as this phone's hardware is only for 700 MHZ or AWS, of which rogers uses the 2100 on pretty much all their devices. At this point, I don't know what to do. I've followed everything from Fido site with LTE phone, LTE apn, LTE sim and LTE data plan, but the phone doesn't even recognize the ltemobile.apn unless I enter the regular Fido apn.
Should I change the radio/modem on this phone to something else or try the JB roms? Do you think that may make a difference, or is this something else, where LTE apn is not even recognized for data. Someone please help, my first phone upgrade after 2.5 yrs has been a complete buzz kill lol.
theres is a method when using *#2263# in picking the lte settings, ill search for the posts as i cant remember the exact details
if you lived or work near me i could test it out for you, bolton or toronto near yorkdale, since its a second hand phone you cant rule out hw failure, but you would need to test it out with a rogers lte sim card.
did you try manually searching for available networks from mobile settings
edit:k i found it, its old and uses the rogers older apn, try with that one or whatever fido phones uses now which i think would be the "ltemobile" apn, if already set then just goto the "power off" phone part

Thanks Vincom. If there is a HW problem, that would really suck but it's hard to see that would be the case if everything else is working fine, inlcluding 4G. And it would be great to know how that band selection process works, as I don't wont to select the wrong option and be stuck with a non-working radio.
I'll give Fido tech support a call and see if they can figure this out, but it's unlikely unless there is something wrong with my plan (LTE plan not activated, unlikely).
Let's say even if I were to have to check the phone (driving to Yorkdale area is no big deal), what would you test on this anyway?
Thanks
Actually let me try out the options you later added in your post above
Thank you, it worked!

Thank you x 1,000,000 Sir, I owe you big time. I've spent last 3 days non-stop on this phone while my wife has been complaining I haven't left my phone since I got it. Now I can go home today and spend more time with her lol.
Here's how it worked: I just copied the ltemobile.apn default settings into a new apn, which I saved with a different name (so that I could keep the original default settings saved separately). As soon as I saved the new apn settings (did not enter anything in the 'apn type' field) and wala, LTE came on. For some reason, even with the same settings exact default settings, it wasn't recognizing the saved apn but the newly created one was picked up right away. Tried the speed test in square one area at work, 21Mbps down, 12Mbps up, wow (coming from my old 3G phone, this is amazing).
I didn't even have to go through the rest of the process with band selection etc., as this is a Rogers phone on their network, so those settings should'nt be changed anyway.
Thanks again. I think I saw some posts on fido forums with other people complaining about stuck with 4G on non-fido phones. I'll update those forums as well.
Happy new year to all

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

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.
