Setting up Airtel internet configuration on your handset is a simple process that ensures seamless internet access. Just send a text message to 232, and you will receive the internet settings promptly. Upon receiving the settings, you have the option to either discard or save them. To store the configuration settings, select the "SAVE" option. Moreover, you can use your handset to connect to the internet on your computer via USB or Bluetooth. However, to establish the data connection on your computer, you need to configure the connection settings accordingly.

To enable Picture Messaging Service (MMS) on your handset, send a text message with the keyword "MMS" to 232. The MMS settings will be sent directly to your device. It's important to note that you must also subscribe to Airtel Connect in order to utilize this service.

Similarly, if you wish to access Airtel Portal services via WAP (Wireless Application Protocol), send a text message with the keyword "WAP" to 232. The relevant settings will be sent to your handset. Just like with the MMS service, you need an active Airtel Connect subscription to utilize the Airtel Portal services.
