Setting up hardware and software

Setting up Chinese cell phones. Convenient “Velcom” service

How to set up your phone

If we are talking about a simple push-button telephone, but with support for Internet access and used in the Velcom network, setting up the Internet does not bring any problems to the owner at all, everything is done automatically in 99% of cases. This approach is provided by a special service called the “Settings Wizard”. To gain access to the Internet, the user just needs to register for the first time in the Velcom network - the Internet will be configured automatically, the phone will receive the necessary data for GPRS/MMS work directly from the cellular network.

If the settings do not arrive automatically, you can use USSD requests - dial the combination *13 0# on the phone keyboard and press the call key. PRIVET prepaid subscribers have a different way here - the combination *126*0# and the same call key. In addition, any subscriber can use Velcom’s Internet subscriber service system. Setting up the Internet using this system is carried out literally in two mouse clicks on the necessary points.

How to set up a smartphone or tablet

Most modern solutions running on Android are also able to automatically configure themselves to gain access to the Internet. If this does not happen, you need to follow several steps of the instructions “Setting up Velcom Internet on Android”.

These are the steps:

  1. Turn off your smartphone (tablet PC).
  2. We insert the Velcom SIM card into the smartphone (tablet PC).
  3. We turn on the smartphone (tablet PC).
  4. When the smartphone (tablet PC) boots up, the SIM card is detected and the user is prompted to change the settings. You must accept the offer by clicking on the “Change” button.
  5. Go to “Settings” and select “SIM Management”. Next you need to find a menu like “Data Transfer”.
  6. In the window that loads, select the Velcom operator. Then an automatic download will occur, the process of which may last about one minute.
  7. Perhaps the most important thing: the Velcom Internet settings on Android must contain the correct access point. We find the corresponding item in the “Mobile network” menu, add a new APN and enter the following values. It is mandatory to fill out four points:
  • Name – value should be Velcom.
  • APN – value of vmi.velcom.by.
  • Proxy server – value 10.200.15.15.
  • Port – value 8080.

We save the entered data and reboot the device. This completes the setup. Now you can enjoy all the benefits of access to the Global Network.

Velcom Internet settings on Android

If you are a client of the Velcom mobile operator, then this article is intended for you, for those who want to set up the Internet on their Android smartphone.

As we know, the operator provides the population with GSM mobile communication service. Also, thanks to the wireless Internet connection service, users of Android devices can fully use applications and the browser.

As a rule, when purchasing a new SIM card with a network connection service, the settings are set independently. But it happens that the device does not register the connection automatically. In such a situation, you will have to set the Internet settings manually.

This instruction is standard for almost all models of smartphones and tablets running the Android operating system.

On devices with the Android platform, it is not at all difficult to set up an Internet connection yourself. This process will not take much of your time, you do not need to expend much effort. All you need to do is carefully follow all the steps described in the instructions below.

Please check first whether your tariff package includes a network connection service. If one is not connected, this is quite easy to do by finding out the information on the operator’s official website.

Let's get started!

1) First you need to open the settings menu in the normal menu. Then go through the following points: “menu” - “settings” - “wireless network”.

2) In the new tab, set the checkbox next to the “mobile Internet” category. This will help activate the Internet connection access port.

3) Then you need to go to the “mobile networks” item. If the “Velcom internet” item is already in the window that appears, then simply select a profile with one click.

If the automatic settings have not arrived, then let’s proceed to manual settings.

1) In the functions menu you need to go to the “Create APN” tab. We will enter the relevant Velcom data in a new window. We carefully enter all the data; it depends on whether the connection is activated.

2) In the “name” field you need to enter internet. In the “APN” field we enter the following address - wmi.velcom.by. You do not need to enter anything in the “login” and “password” columns. You can save and exit the menu.

To find out whether the connection has been activated, pay attention to the presence of the G, E, 3G or H (H+) symbols (depending on the device model) on the main screen. If they do not appear immediately, you need to restart the device. If this does not help, then perhaps you made a mistake when entering the settings.

You can also find out the data that needs to be entered by dialing the USSD request *135*3#.
