Honest 836 Report post Posted March 6, 2012 MTNL APN setting for Mumbai & Delhi Mobile customers from 10th March State-run MTNL is all set to simplify the Access Point Name (APN) settings for its mobile customers in Mumbai & Delhi. APN is an attribute provided by mobile service providers to its customers. The APNs required to setup 3G/GPRS internet access in mobile devices including Tablets. At present MTNL provides different APNs to prepaid and postpaid customers; and these settings are different in Mumbai and Delhi. Now MTNL has decided to simplify the process by providing common Access Point Name (APN) – “mtnl.net” for prepaid and postpaid customers in Mumbai & Delhi circles. MTNL mobile customers using existing APN for 3G/GPRS internet access may continue or switch over to new APN. MTNL Mumbai APN : gprsppsmum (for prepaid) and gprsmtnlmum (for Postpaid) MTNL Delhi APN : gprsppsdel or pps3g (for prepaid) and gprsmtnldel or mtnl3g (for postpaid) New MTNL APN : mtnl.net (common for Mumbai & Delhi prepaid/postpaid customers from 10th March’2012) MTNL Settings for mobile Internet (GPRS/3G) : Connection Name : MTNL Data Bearer : Packet Data Access Point Name(APN) – for prepaid : mtnl.net Access Point Name (APN) – for postpaid : mtnl.net User Name : leave blank Password : leave blank Authentication : Normal For more information please dial 1503.

TechieGuy 1 Report post Posted March 7, 2012 Thanks Mr. Kamal for posting the useful info. I'm Mtnl user and Apn settings for Mtnl gprs services is a pain in a**. Seen many users asking for help at different forums for Mtnl gprs Apn settings. This move will be a big relief for them. Uniform Apn settings will be good for Mtnl subscribers.
