Velcom operator - setting up the Internet without problems

The mobile operator, operating in Belarus and ranked second in this country by the number of subscribers, Velcom, has been providing a huge number of people with GSM communications for almost two decades. We can say that the company is no longer young and, of course, to successfully function and satisfy the needs of its customers, the mobile communication operator must develop.

Trends in the sphere of cellular communication

It's no secret that today the Internet is coming out, and probably already has taken a leading position among the ways people communicate. Without the function of access to the Global Network today, even the simplest button phones, not to mention smartphones and tablet PCs, are practically not manufactured. Velcom operator did not stay away from modern trends and for more than 10 years now it has been providing its subscribers with not only voice communication, but also access to wireless Internet.

The quality of the service is quite high and is positively evaluated by the new and existing Velcom subscribers. Internet setup in the case of mass access devices is quite simple and should not be difficult even for novice phone users, smartphones and tablets. Let's talk about this in more detail.

How to set up your phone

If it is a simple button phone, but with support for access to the network 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 provides a special service, called the "Settings Wizard". The user to gain access to the Internet is enough to register for the first time on the Velcom network - the Internet will automatically be set up, the necessary data for the GPRS / MMS operation will be received directly from the cellular network.

In the event that the settings do not automatically arrive, you can use USSD-requests - dial * 135 * 0 # on the phone's keyboard and press the call key. PRIVET prepaid subscribers here have a different way - the combination * 126 * 0 # and the same call key. In addition, any subscriber can use Velcom's Internet subscriber service system. Internet setup using this system is carried out literally in two mouse clicks on the necessary items.

How to set up a smartphone or tablet

Most of the 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 Velcom Internet on Android".

Here are the steps:

1. Turn off your smartphone (tablet PC).
2. We put in the smartphone (tablet PC) SIM-card Velcom.
3. Turn on your smartphone (tablet PC).
4. When the smartphone (tablet PC) boots, the SIM card will be recognized and the user will be prompted to change the settings. You must accept the proposal by clicking on the "Change" button.
5. Go to the "Settings" and select "SIM Management". Next, you need to find a menu like "Data Transfer."
6. In the loaded window, select the operator Velcom. Then there will be an automatic download, the process of which can last about one minute.
7. Perhaps most importantly: the Velcom Internet settings on the "Android" should contain the correct access point. We find the corresponding item in the "Mobile network" menu, add a new APN and enter the following values. We compulsorily fill in four items:

• Name - value should be Velcom.
• APN - the value of vmi.velcom.by.
• The proxy server is the value 10.200.15.15.
• The port is the value 8080.

We save the entered data and reset the device. This completes the configuration. Now you can enjoy all the benefits of accessing the Global Network.
