Qtel's settings for mobile internet?

smoke's picture

I cant seem to access the internet through my Iphone. I've called 111 and they gave me the settings which would be:
General>Networks>Cellular Data Network>APN:gprs.qtel

Still no signs of getting the internet going. Anyone else have this problem with Iphone? I'm on Shary value pack btw if that info helps.

/-a-t-/smoke: i had exactly the same problem the other day, it shows 3G but no data.
changed to EDGE still the same no IP address from QTEL.
I tried so many diff things, Reset all network settings Everything. Did a search and found that other people have same problem since 4.3 update. They gave some workarounds but alas that did not work.
Then I just gave up, towards the end of the day around 15:00 it just started working again, without me doing anything. I suspect its a QTel issue, but as usual they are no help.
Mines working fine again.

there is no username and password.
APN : gprs.qtel
Thats it.
/-a-t-/smoke make sure you fully reboot your device once you enter the APN details.

Guys i'm on the Qr. 130 value package that has the 50mb internet package included. Gore is right there is no username and password for the APN setting just gprs.qtel
I cant restart my phone right now coz of the whole "Thou shall not do illegal stuff to iphone" where i need certain apps to restart the phone and have not had time to work around that :P will do it at home and see.

/-a-t-/s_isale is also correct, if you do not have a data plan (Shary Value Pack) then yes you need user and pass, but your bill should be quite high due to data charges. If you have the data plan then no user or pass needed.
/-a-t-/smoke the fix for your problem has been out for sometime now.
You can also just turn flight mode on for a few seconds and then off again that should do the same thing as rebooting.

Gore i know but like i said haven't had the time to go about doing it :( Did the flight mode thing still no changes, 3G turn on, Cellular data on, data roaming on as well. Getting 'Qat-Qtel' on top where the service provider name used to be just 'Qtel'.

Thing is sometimes it works without username and password and sometimes it works with username and password. That is what I have seen with different colleagues of mine
