How to set GPRS/MMS in China Mobile for DiGi & Maxis

March 08th, 2009 | Category: Technology

Recently, China mobiles are becoming famous in Malaysia. Most Malaysian have a concept that China mobiles are bad without realizing all those Nokia and Sony is made in China. China is improving so fast, and in fact they still hold the the dual sim dual standby technology. I have personally tried many China mobiles and found out that it is really good except it has some bugs. But China is growing so fast that, every new production of phones is with less bugs and more functions.

Now, this is a tutorial on how to get your GPRS/MMS (Malaysia) to work on China phones.

1. Please make sure you have activated your GPRS & MMS.
If you haven’t, please do so. For DiGi press *128# and for Maxis press *100# and navigate the menu for GPRS & MMS activation and request for the activation first.

2. Then, navigate your phone to Services.
3. There you will find Data Account with certain default data accounts. Select one of those and click edit.

4. Now input these settings into the data account :-

DiGi GPRS

Account Name : DiGi GPRS
APN : digiwap
User : digi
Password : *Leave it empty
Auth. type : Normal

For DiGi, you need to set another data account for MMS with the settings below :

Account Name : DiGi MMS
APN : digimms
User : mms
Password : mms
Auth. type : Normal

Maxis GPRS

Account Name : Maxis WAP GPRS
APN : net
User : maxis
Password : net
Auth. type : Normal

5. Then save this setting and go back to the Services menu. There you will find WAP/Browser, enter it and select settings.
Click on edit profile and select edit profile and input these settings.

DiGi

Profile : DiGi GPRS
Homepage : http://www.google.com
Data account : DiGi GPRS (Just need to select)
User name : digi
Password : *Leave it empty

Maxis

Profile : Maxis WAP GPRS
Homepage : http://www.google.com
Data account : Maxis WAP GPRS (Just need to select)
User name : maxis
Password : wap

OK, now this is the tricky part in China phones. In that same menu you will see Connection Type which is originally set to HTTP. In our setting’s we also need to set it it HTTP but don’t just leave it like that.
6. Select HTTP and enter it and then you will find proxy address and proxy port. These are the most important part of setting up this GPRS/MMS.

Digi
Proxy address : 203.092.128.188
Proxy port : 80

Maxis
Proxy address : 202.075.133.049
Proxy Port : 80

7. Now for MMS, navigate to the MMS messaging area and you will find MMS Settings. Select Server Profile and edit any of those with these settings :

DiGi

Profile : DiGi MMS
Homepage : http://mms.digi.com.my/servlets/mms
Data Account : DiGi MMS
Connection Type : HTTP ( Please refer no. 6 to input the proxies)
Proxy address : 203.92.128.160
Proxy Port : 80
User : mms
Password : mms

Maxis

Profile : Maxis MMS GPRS
Homepage : http://172.16.74.100:10021/mmsc
Data Account : Maxis WAP GPRS
Connection Type : HTTP ( Please refer no. 6 to input the proxies)
Proxy address : 202.75.133.49
Proxy Port : 80
User : maxis
Password : wap

Thats all, its so easy. Just turn off your phone for 5 minutes and on it back and start enjoying GPRS & MMS in China mobiles. If you would like to place this tutorial elsewhere, please give credit and link back to me. Have fun !!
