Connecting PC/Laptop to Internet Using Ufone GPRS – Step by Step Setting
We have previously learned, how to connect PC or Laptop with internet using Mobilink’s GPRS. Continuing the same series, today we will learn about connecting Desktop PC or Laptop with internet using Ufone’s GPRS, We know that Ufone offer unlimited GPRS plan for Rs. 600 (excluding taxes).
And if you are using standard GPRS plans (Rs. 15 + tax per MB), even then internet on Laptop/PC with Ufone’s GPRS can be handy, especially while you are on the go or when there is no other ineternet means.
NOTE: Please confirm GPRS pricing, before you use it with you PC//Laptop, otherwise your bill will hit its limit very quickly.
Using your mobile With Ufone Connection as a modem on Window XP
You can connect your mobile phone with your laptop by
1. Using infrared link
2. Using data cable
Before starting…
1. Subscription to GPRS is a prerequisite, (meaning that you must have GPRS active for your Ufone) make sure that you are subscribed to GPRS. To know how to subscribe to GPRS for your Ufone Number, click here
2. Make sure that you have installed your handset drivers on your desktop/laptop. These drivers come in the CD that was with Mobile Phone when you purchased it
3. In case of connecting through data cable, make sure the data cable is attached and the mobile is detected by the computer
4. Other way, you can also connect Via Infra Red. (not recommended) in this case confirm that the handset supports IR reception and same is available on your laptop
5. Now we assume that you have connected your phone with your Desktop PC or laptop. And device drivers are installed, and GPRS is active for your Ufone number…!

Hi,there can any one tell me how can I use blackberry handset as normal gprs without having bis or any bb services I am using blackberry 8320 handset with mobilink and zong.
Thank u.
@Maqsood, Sorry for getting late in replying your email.
Well, first of all, you need to get your GPRS activated against your number. Once done, you need to ask your operator to send you GPRS/MMS setting for BB 8320.
They will send you an SMS which you will have to save on your phone.
After saving, restart your phone and youre done with GPRS setup on Phone.

Sara there is somethign something wrong with the setting you are making. We have counter tested above method and its working fine. Also, make sure if your GPRS service is working good on Nokia 6300.
If problem persists, try calling your helpline, they may provide you some help on this.

I have a nokia 5230 when I entered the Extra initialization commands it gave an error message that this is very long for your modem and then clicking on ok I connected my modem to the internet it gave a “hardware failure error” while connecting…
Please figure out what could be the problem.
haider, need to check it from their help line.. i will get back to you with updates in couple of hours… given that i find some one responding at Zong’s help line
@Talha, I am unable to understand your problem. If you are getting slower speed? or no browsing at all…
Is speed is slow, then i may not help you, but if there is no browsing at all… meaning that connection is not established at all then you need to re-check all settings again. Especially the string that you gave in modem setting and username and password.
The method has been tested and works well for many.
Let me know if i could be of any further help or you can also contact ufone helpline
Regards
@Saad, make sure that your phone is connected to your computer through bluetooth and also your phone is added well as a modem..! rest will remain same…
