Activate GPRS or MMS for all Philippine Networks
China Phone has suddenly become so popular these days where the qualities are purely based on imitations of the original products. Anyway, most people tend to buy this gadget due to the reason that it is cheap and you can perform all important functions such as calling, sending text messages and etc…
The China Phone that I currently own today is the BlackBerry Bold 9700 which exactly looks the same in appearance as the original version but different in applications and functionalities.
Connecting to the internet can be easily done through the activating the Wi-Fi function but provided that you are on an area covered by a network provider. In most cases, especially on remote areas, there aren’t any Wi-Fi spot that you can connect to surf the web.
The only possible solution for this situation is to make use of the GPRS function of your phone.
I’m exactly from the Philippines and the following are the tutorials on how you can configure your GPRS phone settings and gain an internet access.

If you are from another country, please consider contacting your network provider to obtain your GPRS settings. But before you do, you need to make sure that your phone supports GPRS connections.
To All Globe Subscribers:
There are currently three supported mobile phone brands which are the Nokia, Ericsson and Samsung. The first step that you need to do is to check the compatibility of your device by sending its brand or handset model to 2365 through text message. After the confirmation of your phone’s compatibility, you may now acquire the settings by texting GO (handset model) to 2951. Example is GO N70.
Additional Note for other Nokia handsets: For Nokia 6220, 6600 and 6820, text GO (handset model), 1234 then send it to 2951. Take note that your handset model and the 1234 PIN is separated by a comma. Another important part that you need to know is that regular text messaging charges will be applied.
In case that you have been asked for PIN to save the settings on your device, simply enter 1234. MMS service activation is done by sending your first MMS with a cost of 5 pesos.
As for the Prepaid Subscriber, it is very important that you need to make sure that you have available credits before trying to access your GPRS or MMS services. If you have zero balance on your account then you won’t be able to use the service.
