How can I use Airtel GPRS on Blacberry 8520 ,unlocked airtel ? I want to avoid using airtel blackberry internet schemes , as they are too costly , moreover all services provided by blackberry can be made available by normal GPRS connection.

Guzzle, Yes, you are correct in assuming that the schemes for BB are expensive. And all are available to you much cheaper in GPRS schemes. The settings would be sent to you immediately after the service of GPRS is activated on your number. If not then you can dial MO to 121, free. You will receive an sms asking you to save the sms. Save it and the settings are configured. BUT remember to delete the MMS and Airtel Live from your phone settings as they are really expensive to use. GPRS is cheap. And advantage in Airtel is that there are no roaming charges on data access. Means that you can access the net from anywhere in the country free if you have an unlimited usage plan. However, the settings are as under, IP address - 202.56.231.117 Proxyport settings - enable Proxy port number - 8080 APN - airtelgprs.com. You give it the name of Mobile Office. And you can have any home page.
