Not All Mobile Devices Can Use 3G Data Internet Package of Telkomcel.TL

Regular mobile and modem, will not have access to 3G Service of Telkomcel, regular mobile devices will only get 2G which is very slow. I have confirmed with Telkomcel before writing this article, they said Telkomcel got the license to operate in 850 MHz. To get more info about UMTS band frequency, please click here.

I just provide simple example for your guidance if you plan to buy a mobile phone to be used in Timor Leste, especially for Telkomcel.

Mobile/Tablet Not Supported 3G of Telkomcel, without 850 in 3G Network HSDPA	Mobile/Tablet that Suporta 3G of Telkomcel, with 850 in 3G Network
Samsung P1000 Galaxy Tab 2G Network: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 3G Network: HSDPA 900 / 1900 / 2100	Galaxy Note II N7100 2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 HSDPA 850 / 900 / 2100 - N7105
Galaxy Y S5360 2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 3G Network HSDPA 900 / 2100	Samsung I9300 Galaxy S III 2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570 2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 3G Network HSDPA 900 / 2100	Samsung I9070 Galaxy S Advance 2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100

The same rule apply to USB Modem or Pocket Wifi, if you plan to buy a modem, ask the specification that support 3G 850 band, so at anytime you can feel the 7,2 Mbps 3G of Telkomcel.

To check your mobile’s specification, visit GSM Arena and Search your mobile brand and model.

Setup Email in Opera Browser

I just tried Opera browser’s built-in Mail client, if you like to find alternative client like MS Outlook, Thunderbird, Eudora, and other Email Client application, you should try Opera.

download Opera browser here









Here's how I configure my email.









You can put your Gmail.











IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol)

IMAP is not an email program in itself. Just like POP, it is a protocol
by which you can read email. IMAP allows you to view your email from
more than one place. E.g. from your desktop computer at work and from your laptop at home and from abroad and from your mobile device - multiple locations.

To
use IMAP effectively, you need to make sure that each program on each
computer that you use to view your email is set up to use IMAP. 

 

POP (Post Office Protocol)

POP
is suitable if you have no need to check your email in multiple
locations. If you only ever check your email on your computer at work,
for example, then POP is fine for this purpose, because it downloads all
of your emails to the computer.

For Gmail users:

Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL

imap.gmail.com

Port: 993

Requires SSL:Yes

 

Outgoing Mail (SMTP)
Server - Requires TLS

smtp.gmail.com

Port: 465 or 587

Requires SSL: Yes

 





With Opera, I can surf the web and monitor my incoming mail at left sidebar, opening inbox will automatically opens a new tab.

Using OpenDNS to Filter Website from the Router

No Client Configuration needed.

For all who want to improve work productivity in your office by blocking some of website and allow it only in specific time, this simple guide is for you.

1. Sign Up for a Free account of OpenDNS Home at https://store.opendns.com/get/home-free

2. After completing registration process & activation, go to Dashboard >> Setting>> Add Network based on your current IP address displayed on the top of the browser

3. First time user might need to confirm the public IP from the activation link sent to the email. To customize the blocking by category, just click on the newly added network.

4. I choose Custom so I can manually enable and disable the Social Network category as necessary.

5. We can get the statistic later once it configured to our router.

6. Last step, adding the OpenDNS IP to our router

For Cisco Router 1700/1800 Series

Login to router console

Remove existing DNS-Server and add it again after the Open DNS IP

Config t

ip dhcp pool LAN

no dns-server

dns-server 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 (and your previous DNS server IP)

wr mem

For simple wireless router, just login to admin page and put the IP of OpenDNS.

This setting applies to the network where the router is handling DHCP role.
