faster. To all my Etisalat users, this tutorial is for you.Using your Etisalat BIS on PC involves the following steps:
Tools needed:
> Etisalat SIM
> GPRS enabled phone
> An Internet Modem
> Personal Computer/Laptop
2. Now that your SIM is internet ready, load a recharge card of N1000 to your
phone and subscribe to etisalat Monthly Blackberry plan.
1. Get an etisalat SIM and activate it for Data. A SIM should normally be
automatically activated for internet immediately you insert into your phone and
on it. If after some period you still dont get the setting sent to you. Push
etisalat Data Settings to your Phone. If you already have a SIM you have been
using it to browse, you dont need this step. Just proceed to step two.

NB: Wait till you get an Etisalat SMS
that your subscription is successful.
3. Remove the Etisalat SIM and insert into you Internet Modem. Connect your
modem to your PC and create a new settings profile on your modem with the
following information:
Profile name: Etisalat BIS
APN: blackberry.net
ID/Username: leave empty Password: leave empty
Advanced Settings: Primary DNS: 8.8.8.8
Alternate DNS: 8.8.4.4
=> Save, select as the Default Setting and Connect to the Internet.
4. Now open your browser and use the following IP and Port.
IP: 10.71.170.5
PORT: 8080 Save it and you are almost done.
This trick also works on mobile phones directly without any need to configure your applications.
STEPS:-
just goto your etisalat access point settings and edit ‘etisalat wap’ with the following settings:-
APN:blackberry.net
move to advanced settings»»
primary DNS address:8.8.8.8
secondary DNS address:8.8.4.4
ip:10.71.170.5
port:8080
then save, now use all your applications directly. This has been tested and confirmed working.

how can i get it work on android phones? Thanks for ur posts so far. Already bookmarked ur blog
I have not used an android phone before so i don't know but you can take screen shots of the configuration page or menu then i can feel in the gap and tell u what to do.
@yemi, tnx for that. When i do, u will see me here or better still i might just be using it with my modem cos thats easier to configure
that's better. You are welcome one's again sir.
I tried it but kept saying unable to connect to proxy server
Did you configure your browser with the following IP: 10.71.170.5
PORT: 8080?
I will recommend you try mozilla Firefox for easy configuration.
Its not working 4 me o.i have just spent my last 1k.did every thing both on modem and my e5.all in vain.are u sure its working cos since yesterday have been tryin even wit eti 3g network
Guys, Should in case your Etisalat is not connecting with the settings above, i just discovered that it's connecting with Airtel Settings. Configured this on your modem
Open a new profile settings and enter this config:
Name: use anything
APN: internet.ng.airtel.com
password: internet
username:internet
Access number: *99#
Save it and set it as your default.
This is what i used in posting this new settings. It is working well and fast. Please do it the way i posted it here.
how about the dns? will i still use dns?
You don't need to use the dns. Just use the above seetings.
Pls is there no update abt etisalat Bis workn on Pc n andriod fone
I don't know much about this things but i beleive Etisalat is Unlimited but sucks here in my area. I'm currently rocking my Mtn Bis… I hacked it to be unlimited.
@Yomi, i tried n kept trying until i got to this post.
I am using it right now to send this reply.
But is there any way we can browse all free without any subscription?
dnt get it
Ola, if the original etisalat settings is not working for you, try this Airtel settings i posted above. It is working well. Tested & Trusted! I am using mtn universal modem
airtel settings for etisalat bis or airtel bis?
get a usb dongle with your etisalat sim and use the above settings on that same etisalat sim(bis)
@Anonymous.. Yes. Use that same settings on a Usb modem, insert you etisalat bis sim into d modem and it will be connected without sweat.
@Kosi, tanx a million.
Thanks Mr. Yomi; it worked for me for about One minute then I started a download of a video from youtube, then suddenly it stopped working up till now, but my modem still connects normally maybe it is a temporary network issue
I think your own is just a temporary error. You can try it back again if it will connect. My own connected well; what keep baffling me is why other ppls own is not connecting.
Can I test it wit etisalat bb daily plan first
Yes, i buy the idea of trying it first with daily plan since it's just @100 to see if it will worrk before investing in the normal monthly plan. I actually tested my own firstly with the daily plan, before i opted for the monthly plan. So, go ahead and give it a trial.
Mr yomi it is still the same thing up till now,the thing will just load buy.etisalat.com.ng then nothing will show in my internet browser even having full internet connected signal..Do u have any other tricks for me? Thanks for the help anyway
I tried it wit d daily plan. It connected alright, but data received doesn't move, only data sent. Data received is stuck @ 0.26kb. I used both airtel n etisalat config settings. Still same result. So wat am I doing wrong yomi?
i av exactly d same problem
Oh I'm really not happy at all. Used my last cash to buy 1k recharge card now its not working. Too bad I don't use BB I could have used the subscription for my BB.
@Cris gregory and Anonymous, sorry about what is happening but i'm going to check for another settings for you guys ASAP.
@Anonymous, please don't make me cry.. Sorry about that, but i can't really figure out why it's not connecting for you guys but it connected on my system even browsing. Okay i will check for another settings for u guys ASAP.
Aight bro Plz check if there's another option. What's your FB name?
how am i going send it.am i going 2 *499*3 and send cod to 100 and wat is dis *2# 399
