You need a PC or a Laptop and the required connectivity tools, i.e. Serial/USB cable OR Infrared Device OR Bluetooth dongle

1) Activate Airtel Live! ( It's FREE so no probs).

2) Create TWO Airtel gprs data accounts (yes TWO) and select the FIRST as the active profile.

3) Connect your mobile to the PC (or Laptop) and install the driver for your mobile's modem.

4) Create a new dial-up connection using the NEW CONNECTION WIZARD as follows :

Connecting Device : Your mobile's modem
ISP Name : Airtel (or anything you like)
Phone Number : *99***2#
Username and Password : blank

5) Configure your browser and download manager to use the proxy 100.1.200.99 and port 8080.( My advice is to use Opera since you can browse both wap and regular websites)

6) Connect to the dial-up account. You will be connected at 115.2 kbps (but remember, that is a bad joke).

7) Pick up your mobile and try to access any site. You will get "Access Denied..."(except for Airtel Live!). IT DOES NOT MATTER. Keep the mobile down.

8 ) On the PC ( or Laptop) open your browser, enter any address, press ENTER and.......WAIT

9) After a few seconds the page will start to load and you have the WHOLE internet at your disposal.

@dipen,akshay.... if u connect using BT u cant get more than 115.2 kbps cos its the max BT conn speed... whether u r using edge or 3g....
if u use a datacable then u ll get more speeds than that...
and 115.2 kbps is also a great speed..

Is it not Illegeal.If they Know Whatt can they do because airtellive if free service not meant for using net on computer.I have both mobile office and airtel live activated.As the mobile office rental has decreased i want to deactivate it and start with airtel live.Wont it be a crime.

It is faster than normal dial up. But if you can spend 99 per month and activte Airtel wap then you can surf more easily.

Airtel Live is free but u can access only the airtel live site and get charged if u download content from there...
NOP is 2rs/day uses proxies, but u can access all sites from cell only (officially :D )
MO is rs 7/day and u can access all sites, proxy free, can also connect it to pc..
