How to install WhatsApp on S40 series Nokia C3 phone?

Hello S40 Users,

After much hardwork I could install and run WhatsApp on my S40 series phone Nokia C3.

I would like to share my experience with you which could help you in solving your WhatsApp problems.

The basic problem of WhatsApp not running on your S40 phone might be the compatibility issues of WhatsApp application with your phone's software.

Hence I recommend you to follow the following steps for a complete WhatsApp installation on your phone.

Step 1 :- First and foremost download Nokia Ovi Suite on your PC.

Step 2 :- After the Suite installation connect your phone to the PC, take the backup of all the

               important data of your phone on your PC using Nokia Ovi Suite.

Step 3 :- Now you need to make a hard reset of your phone's software. This can be done by typing

               *#7370# and then pressing the call button.

Step 4 :- Follow the mentioned instructions and complete the reset.

Step 5 :- After reset is done, again connect your phone to the PC and connect to the Internet. Open

               Nokia Ovi Suite and type WhatsApp Messenger as a search query. 

Step 6 :- You would get theaccurate search result. Press on Download & Install to download  

               WhatsApp application setup on your phone.    

Step 7 :- After Downloading the setup, keep it as it. DO NOT RUN THE SETUP ON YOUR

               PHONE.

Step 8 :- Now follow the following instructions as per your mobile provider - 

A.    For “Airtel” or “Tata Docomo” users :
1. Go to Settings -> Configuration -> Preferred Access Point. Select Mobile Office.
2. Go to Settings -> Configuration -> Default config settings. Delete the config settings.
3. Reboot your phone.

B.     For “BSNL” users:
1. Go to Settings -> Configuration -> Preferred Access Point. Select BSNLLIVE. 
2. Go to Settings -> Configuration -> Default config settings. Delete the config settings. 
3. Reboot your phone.

C.     For “Vodafone” users :
1. Go to Settings -> Configuration -> Preferred Access Point. Select Vodafone Mobile Connect.
2. Go to Settings -> Configuration -> Default config settings. Delete the config settings.
3. Reboot your phone.

D.    For “Idea” users:
1. Go to Settings -> Configuration -> Default Config Settings and select Idea Internet
2. Go back to Configuration and then to Preferred access pt, and select Idea Internet
3. Restart your phone.

Step 9 :- After the reboot is done, NOW run the WhatsApp setup and complete the installation.

Possible problems faced -

I. During the installation you might face an HTTP Server #54 Error. In that case the Internet of your mobile phone might not be activated or the mobile provider's server might be down. In such a case contact your mobile provider's customer care and reboot your phone again. Start the installation again using the WhatsApp setup downloaded.

II. You might receive an HTTP Server #61 Error. In this case delete the existing WhatsApp setup and reinstall it using the Ovi Suite.

Some quick tips you might need - 

I. There is a case where your WhatsApp installation might complete successfully but still you might not be able to use it. In such a situation inform your friends (who are using WhatsApp) to send you messages from WhatsApp continuously. There is a possibility that due to overloading of receiving messages, your WhatsApp might automatically get connected to the chat server.

II. During the WhatsApp installation process on your phone it might ask you for mobile verification number. After pressing OK even if you don't receive the verification code don't worry, your WhatsApp might run successfully on your phone without the verification. You can later complete the verification by following the given process:

For the process of complete verification of your number, send SMS to 1(408) 306-2615*from* the mobile number you tried to register with for WhatsApp and type your email address ONLY in the SMS message.
For example : contact@technary.com (the automated system will send you the code via email once we they receive your SMS).
Please Note:  If you are reading this on iPhone, just tap on the sms://14083062615. If you don’t get the code in 12 hours, be sure to check your Spam folder first.

I followed these steps and I now can properly use WhatsApp on my Nokia C3 phone. 
I suggest and expect you to follow the above mentioned steps in the exact chronology and hope this would successfully install and run WhatsApp on your S40 series phone.
Happy WhatsApp'ing' !!
