Cellular trends

Today, even the simplest push-button phones, not to mention smartphones and tablet PCs, are almost never produced without the function of accessing the Global Network. The Velcom operator has not remained aloof from modern trends and for more than 10 years has been providing its subscribers with not only voice communication, but also access to wireless internet.

If we are talking about the simplest push-button telephone, but with support for Internet access and Velcom used in the 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 gain access to the Internet, the user just needs to register for the first time in the Velcom network - the Internet will be configured automatically, the phone will receive the necessary data for GPRS/MMS work directly from the cellular network.

If the settings do not arrive automatically, you can use USSD requests - dial the combination *135*0# on your phone keyboard 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 Internet subscriber service system. Setting up the Internet using this system is carried out literally in two mouse clicks on the necessary points.
