You heard about connecting to the internet using al madar new feature, get 15kb/s of transfer rate for 10 dinars a month ?
Well, here is a tutorial, the deal is connecting your laptop or pc to the internet using your al madar cell phone and bluetooth:
First of all you need at least 11 LYD of credit in your Al Madar sim card, send an SMS to 8989 contains “gprs“.
You will get a message that have configurations for your phone, after configuring your phone, here comes your laptop or pc:
- Turn on the Bluetooth enabled cell phone and turn on the Bluetooth connection software.
- Make the phone discoverable.
- In Windows XP on the laptop go to My Bluetooth Places.
- Select View Devices in Range.
- After the discovery process is complete you should see the icon for the cell phone.
- Right-click on the icon and select Discover Available Services.
- To connect to your cell phone right-click on the Dial-Up Networking.
- Select Connect Dial-up networking.
- The phone will ask if you want to accept the connection request, decline or add to paired.
- The last step pairs the phone and laptop and performs the connection request.
- You will be prompted to enter a PIN code to pair up the devices, the PIN is entered in the cell phone.
- A dialogue box appears asking for user name, password and the phone number of your ISP.
- Leave all empty but fill in phone number so it will be “*99#“
- Click on the dial button to complete the connection.
That’s all, simple and clear and needs no genius to figure out.

September 1st, 2008 at 2:16 PM
I have a cellpone (dopod S1) , I sent a message contained “gprs” to 8989 ,but I didn`t get message,so I couldn`t configring my phone.How can I do?
September 1st, 2008 at 2:52 PM
You will have to go with manual configuration, configurations in phone is easy.
APN or Access point is almadar.net
carrier is GPRS
Always on or call on demand no difference
name it and make it your default connection
if they didn’t cut the 10 dinars from your credit yet it means you didn’t subscribe and can’t use internet.

Hi Wissam,
I already subscribe into Al-madar internet by sending “gprs” to 8989 and replied by downloading the setting for internet. Credit has deducted for 10 dinar. But, still I cannot connect to the internet. I use SE K850i. It was successful with Libyana…Any idea?
Thanks.
October 21st, 2008 at 8:42 AM
Hi Wissam,
I have not been able to connect to the GPRS. I have a post paid account about 3 years old…….. Is that part of the problem?
I am using HTC smartphone. I tried sending the SMS to 8989 and received 2 blank messages in return from +8182, nothing else. I tried doing the settings manually and entered the APN name but so far no progress.
Please advise.
Thanks for your efforts.
October 21st, 2008 at 12:05 PM

November 6th, 2008 at 8:12 AM
Hi Wissam,
I have a Samsung E840 mobile. I have received msgs from Almadar after sending GPRS to 8989.
I have configured my phone with homepage URL as http://www.google.com and APN as almadar.net
Still it is showing “service unavailable” while trying to connect.
There are some fields in the connection settings as IP adress and PORT…..shall I fill it?
If so, what should I write there?….Please help.
November 6th, 2008 at 9:32 AM
I like to know the APN of AL MADAR GPRS Servic
November 6th, 2008 at 11:03 AM
Pratik, your setting are correct 100% the problem that might be preventing you from accessing to the network is profile setting, may be you didn’t not set almadar profile as your default connection, please take a look at the browser setting also.
Hakim, the APN is almadar.net
November 6th, 2008 at 11:14 AM
Hi Wissam,
Yes, I have set current browser profile in ‘browser setting” as “Almadar Internet”.
I have not found the option for making this profile as default.
The setting for profile “Almadar Internet” I have mentioned earlier. But in that profile I have left “IP adress” as 0.0.0.0 and “Port” is o….These values were by default for any new profile. I do not know whether I should change those values or not.

December 3rd, 2008 at 5:10 AM
Hi,
I have been using a Motorola K1 with almadar to connect to the internet via my PC for 3 months. For the last two days I’ve noticed that my Madar connection is closing after 30 minutes. Each time it happens I can re-connect immediately but its a pain, especially if I’m trying to download a large file. Any idea why this is happening?
Also, I can not access the internet directly on my phone, Madar does not seem to have any settings for the K1 model.

February 17th, 2009 at 9:41 AM
i got myself a new al madar sim card but i cannot make any outgoing call. Incoming and SMS are OK. i also tried to subscribe to almadar internet but the reply message was unredable…didnt received any configuration setting also…can you help me…PLSSS!!
BTW, they deducted LYD 10 on my account….
February 17th, 2009 at 4:37 PM
It takes time for a new purchased sim to send and accept calls, if it took too long, contact the company, if it’s not their problem, your PHONE is not compatible with ALMADAR sim type, go install a new firmware on a place called “Al madar street” in Arabic “Sharaa al madar”.
June 1st, 2009 at 6:57 AM
dear sir

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
