How to use DiGi GPRS/EDGE as your internet connection ?

Category: Education,General

Finally, I got some time to share some info after the whole week of mid term tests.

After I started my degreeĀ  in Cyberjaya, I didn’t find any rooms or didn’t even apply for the hostel.
Currently staying in PJ in my uncle’s house. I’m still looking for a room in Cyberjaya for a reasonable price.
So I can’t actually apply for streamyx since they have a 1 year contract.

Luckily I had this DiGi Campus plan, where they are offering RM30 for unlimited data usage.
So i decided to give it a try, and by the way, the speed is not bad. Not fast , not slow !!

OK, first of all, your phone should have a modem function.
You can either connect it through bluetooth or your phone cable to USB.
The easiest is bluetooth because, it will find the modem and its driver automatically.

Once you have connected your phone to your computer, you should have a new modem in your computer.
All we need now is just a dialer. Go to Network Connection and create a new connection.
Create a dial up connection with the number *99#. Make sure that your dialer is using the modem from your phone.
This dialer doesn’t have a username or a password.

Thats all !! Just click connect and you now have internet on the computer.

Note : You must have your GPRS activated & GPRS setting correct in your mobile phone in order to use this on your computer.

    Hi Andrew,

    How much is the download speed for the Digi Campus??

    [I'm not so sure, but I think its fast in certain areas. My friends gave some good comments about it, and I've personally tried DiGi GPRS services, its not bad..]

    hi, how u get this package? is it a must to have a modem? since there are already gprs build-in in most of the phone today.

    [There is no need for any package, as long your phone can support GPRS, you can do it.. But be aware of the charges.]
