UPDATE!! 3rd March 2008 - Telenor Smartmail GPRS/EDGE CANNOT BE USED ON A PC anymore.
Read the update here on my 3rd March 2008 Post
***********************************************************
A friend of mine, recently bought Telenor’s Smartmail package to use internet on his laptop, and went through hell, because of wrong information given by Telenor’s Call Center about the APN setting.
Telenor only tells customers about defining the Access Point in the phone, but forgets to mention that to use internet on a laptop, you also need to define the “PACKET DATA Access Point” setting in the phone, and the Access Point in Nokia PC Suit.

Please note that this is Telenor’s Postpaid Smartmail GPRS APN Setting. (This will not work on Prepaid)
1) Go to MENU> TOOLS> SETTINGS> CONNECTION> ACCESS POINTS
2) In OPTIONS make a NEW ACCESS POINT with USE DEFAULT SETTINGS
CONNECTION NAME: Smart Mail
ACCESS POINT NAME: memail
USERNAME: Telenor (case sensitive)
PASSWORD: Telenor (case sensitive)
Once the APN has been saved, reboot your phone by switching it off, and then switching it back on. This will clear out your phone memory and ensure that your new APN is picked up for usage.
Now that your phone is rebooted, you need to test the APN and see if it is setup correctly. Open the web browser on your phone and connect to http://telenor.com.pk
If the website does not open up successfully, you have not setup the APN correctly, or you do not have GPRS access on your phone. Contact Telenor Pakistan helpline (345) or visit the Telenor Pakistan Walk-in Center.
