Bell Settings

[N1Guy]

I spent lots of time to set it up not because it is hard but I always miss something so to save you all some time here are the settings:

Name: Bell
APN: pda.bell.ca
Proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca
Port: 80
Username: <Not set>
Password: <Not set
Server: <Not set>
MMSC: http://mms.bell.ca/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca
MMS Port: 80
MCC: DON'T CHANGE
MNC: DON'T CHANGE
APN type: default, mm

And it works like a charm SO FAST

Hope this helps

p.s. MMS didn't work with me yet

Hi,
Appreciate the help and I put in the settings as above.
Any advice now? bad SIM perhaps?
Purchased from Google store (850/1900/2100 MHz)

2 hours in the Bell store and more now
new SIM card from store

Searching networks , sometimes I get "error when searching for network"
Sometimes shows "Bell"
Selecting that, it tries "registering on bell"
" your Sim card does not allow a connection with this this network"

going to the hidden menu*#*# 4636*#*# my phone number appears blank

Thanks Ross

OK -works great - Bell support was great--- Removed and replaced SIM card--- DUH!! works fine now-- reception here north near Owen Sound - not great

I have a Blackberry (from my job) that works on Bell Network. I just put the sim card into my nexus One to give it a try.
Signal strenght was very weak compare to rogers. Same thing for 3G... was very slow compare to Rogers.

I'm located in Saint-Jérome, Quebec. I guess it depend where you are exactly.... and Rogers is working on their GSM network for more then 10 years, compare to bell/telus who have GSM network for less then 1 year....

From my point of view, if you have a GSM phone you should go with rogers or Fido. I don't see the point yet to use Bell or Telus as their network is still in development progress.
My 2 cents!

Depends where you are. I am in the Lower Mainland and I am so glad I dumped Fido for Telus.

3G speeds are almost twice as fast for me on speed tests.

Even though Telus is HSPA only, I have found them to have better reception even when in areas outside of the Lower Mainland (tested this on the same phone)

Of course... I know some part here in town rogers have weak signal...

Do you know if Bell and Telus have a EDGE network? or Only 3G? If you go in a zone that there is no 3G, is the phone will go on edge???

I know that with rogers it goes on EDGE, because they still use that previous technology.

No they are HSPA only (meaning 3G+ only network)

I have found them to have really good 3G+ coverage. Where I got Edge on Fido I get 3G+ on Telus

The BC map shows they have more 3G coverage which is great.
