How to Activate BSNL Mobile Internet

Published in BSNL Mobile Internet Activation 2 mins read

To activate BSNL mobile internet services, there's a straightforward two-step process primarily for first-time users, involving an SMS registration followed by adjusting your device settings.

Step-by-Step Activation Guide

Here are the essential steps to get your BSNL mobile internet up and running:

  1. Initiate Activation via SMS (For First-Time Users)

    • Action: Open your messaging application.
    • Message: Type START
    • Recipient: Send this SMS to 1925
    • Confirmation: BSNL will send you a reply confirming the activation of your mobile data service. Upon receiving this confirmation, your data services should be enabled on the network side.
  2. Configure Mobile Device Settings
    After successful network activation via SMS, you'll need to ensure your mobile phone settings are correctly configured to access the internet:

    • Navigate to Settings: On your mobile phone, open the Menu.
    • Access Network Settings: Go to Settings.
    • Select Mobile Networks: Look for and select Mobile Networks (or a similar option like "Mobile Data," "Cellular Networks," or "Connections" depending on your device's operating system).
    • Enable Mobile Data: Within this section, ensure that "Mobile Data" or "Cellular Data" is switched ON.
    • APN Settings (If Required): While not explicitly detailed in the initial activation steps, sometimes you might need to set up the Access Point Name (APN) manually if the internet still doesn't work. The standard BSNL APN is usually bsnlnet or bsnlwap. However, for most modern phones, these settings are often automatically configured after network activation.

By following these steps, you should be able to activate and begin using BSNL mobile internet on your device.
