With mobile Internet being very cheap on DSTCom (B$0.05/MB) we all wish to to be surfing the ‘net but before that your phone needs to be configured to do so. The settings supplied by DSTCom are:
For Internet access
Name: DSTInternet
APN: dst.internet
Username: <no username>
Password: <no password>For MMS
Name: DSTMMS
APN: dst.mms
Username: mms
Password: mms
However it’s not always easy translating these settings to your phone. I recently had issues with a friend’s Sony Ericsson G502 being a Nokia person myself.
Update 1: Due to search requests on bmobile internet connection I shall add it here based on the findings of Hazarry’s work here (PDF file) and bmobile’s iPhone settings.
Bmobile’s APN: bmobilewap. More detailed configuration can be found
For Internet access
Name: bmobilewap
APN: bmobilewap
Username: <no username>
Password: <no password>
Proxy Server Address & port (these settings seem optional as they are not listed in bmobile’s settings PDFs)

a friend’s sony ericson G502?
let me break it down… based on my assumptions
a friend = me
sony ericson G502 = sony ericson C902
ie are u talking abt me?! :P
Yes I’m taking about you =P And all I remember about the phone was that it was hard to push the buttons.. Sony Ericsson design FAIL!
awh… i got use to it. but i keep calling Aaron (cos his name is first in my phonelist). rofl~ too many buttons bah!!!!
Need assistance for DST settings for Acer palm latest ohone – the dual simcard kind. Thank you
@Bahrin you will have to try translate the settings I gave to your phone. I’m not familiar with your phone. But if you want to meet up and configure it, I could try. Contact me here
Since I upgrade my dst simcard to dst 3g, i got problem to get through my internet. I always see the message “Packet Data connection is not available”. Pls assist me on tis matter.
First of all are you able to access the Internet at all? If you are able to then it’s not likely a configuration issue, but more external factors: e.g. location, network, phone. Are you using the Internet in the same locations and is the signal strength fine? Perhaps if your phone supports it, try using 3G, i.e. UMTS not the 2G GSM network / dual mode. Perhaps this can narrow down the issue with 3G / 2G network. If that still happens try it on another phone, it could be the phone itself. Does anything happen before you get that error message, e.g. receive a text / phone call? If there is nothing you can do to narrow down the issue, try go to DST and get the SIM changed or see if they can help. Hope that will lead you in the right direction to fix this problem =)
I face the same problem with my sony ericsson P1i. Appreciate if someone could help for the setting.
@ondu_08 So far I’ve only tried configuring a Sony Ericsson phone once before and it failed. I won’t mind trying again. Perhaps you could catch me next week when I plan to station myself somewhere in Brunei each day to participate in Mozilla Service Week
i set the access already. i can go to any websites but when i open application i downloaded it says connection failed, please activate internet setting for java application. what should i do? TQ
@babe what application is it and are you using a Nokia phone? I know for Nokia phones it will usually ask you “Allow application ApplicationName to use network and send or receive data?” and if you say yes it will prompt you to select which network you want to use to access the Internet. You will have to select the connection you previously created. I’m not too sure how other phones work
Also do check the settings in the application that you downloaded. Some allow you to specify which connection to use for Internet access.
Lastly it could be that the networking is disabled for the application. For Nokia, Go to Menu > Installations > Application Manager (App. mgr.) > Select the application you downloaded > Menu > Open. Under “Network Access” make sure it is allowed. Again I’m not sure how it is on other phones but it should be something similar.
guys pls help me…
send me internet setting for dopod 818 pro..urgent
or u can email me at erichbali@yahoo.com…
thank a lot
@erick sorry, but I’m not sure of the settings for Windows Mobile. Tried doing it once and did manage to get it working but seemed a bit convoluted and can’t remember how I exactly did it.
do u guys have the 3g modem setting for b-mobile? since im using an unlocked device i kinda need to know the default setting like dns server or WINS server…
@newguy The b-mobile settings are on the page as well near the top. Basically the APN is bmobilewap. I think the DNS and WINS server settings will be automatic after you connect to the APN. I don’t have a b-mobile line at the moment to actually find out at test it but when I do find out I’ll get back to you =)
which mode of network shall we choose for prima? eversince i upgraded my prima line to 3G dst i came across many times that there is totally no signal if i chose UTMS ( fully 3g signal) but if i choose dual mode, it will automatically search for 3g or d normal line which internet cant be access and mms functions failed.
Why is it not a full time 3G signal available for dst prima like bmobile?
@kaylee 3G connectivity depends on your location. If there are not 3G cell towers in your area there will be no connection. That is why dual mode works: it will switch back to the normal 2G/2.5G connection when 3G/UMTS is not available. I guess bmobile has better 3G coverage compared to DST thats why 3G signal is not always available. Nothing much we can do unless DST does some upgrades to their towers to support 3G or build more towers
I’m kinda confuse with telcos from abroad. I’m from Malaysia. Is B-Mobile Communications one of the telcos in Brunei?
Yup B-Mobile is a telco: more specifically it’s a mobile phone telco. B-Mobile and DST are the only 2 mobile telcos here while Telbru (to which B-Mobile is affiliated) is the telco for land lines (and thus DSL Internet)
Thanks for providing this. Now I no longer have to go to the mobile shop and ask the people there to configure the settings for me or when I accidentally screw up the settings. I wouldn’t have minded they do it free of charge, though.
dst3g??????jalan bebatik kilanas.i even ned to go outside house to answer the phone …….very lack of signal…..
