Velcom, a mobile operator operating in Belarus and occupying the second place in this state in terms of the number of subscribers, 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, in order to function successfully and meet the needs of its customers, the mobile operator must develop.

Cellular Trends

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

The quality of the service is quite high and is positively assessed by new and existing Velcom subscribers. Setting up the Internet in the case of mass access devices is quite simple and should not be difficult even for novice users of phones, smartphones and tablets. We will talk about this further in more detail.

How to set up your phone

If we are talking about the simplest push-button telephone, 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 is provided by a special service called the “Settings Wizard”. To get access to the Internet, it is enough for the user to register for the first time in the Velcom network - the Internet will be set up automatically, the phone will receive the necessary data for GPRS/MMS operation directly from the cellular network.

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

How to set up a smartphone or tablet

Most modern solutions running on Android are also able to automatically configure themselves to access the Internet. If this does not happen, you need to follow several steps of the instruction "Setting up Velcom Internet on Android".

Here are the steps:

Turn off your smartphone (tablet PC).
We insert a Velcom SIM card into a smartphone (tablet PC).
Turn on your smartphone (tablet PC).
When the smartphone (tablet PC) boots up, the SIM card will be detected and the user will be prompted to change the settings. You must accept the offer by clicking on the "Change" button.
Go to "Settings" and select "SIM management". Next, you need to find a menu like "Data Transfer".
In the loaded window, select the Velcom operator. It will then automatically download, which may take up to one minute.
Perhaps the most important thing: the Velcom Internet settings on Android must contain the correct access point. We find the corresponding item in the "Mobile network" menu, add a new APN and enter the following values. It is mandatory to fill in four items:

Name - value must be Velcom.
APN - vmi.velcom.by value.
Proxy server - value 10.200.15.15.
Port - value 8080.

We save the entered data and reboot the device. This completes the setup. Now you can enjoy all the benefits of access to the global network.
