Can anyone help me in activating GPRS on my mobile for free. I use it to surf on the net. These people charge hefty 600 bucks for the same. Is there any way like changing server or such so that I can browse the net.

i got airtel gprs for unlimited download @ 600.
theres scheme like 149 in airtel for gprs

does the speed depends on the cell n cable?

in airtel show room they showd demo with 6100 n data cable which got 9.1 kbps with connection speed

one guy got his 6630 connected va bluetooth.
the connection status shows 921 kbps.
believe it 921 kbps

Yes.. It is here in Maharahtra. Airtel providing GPRS of speed 14 kbps for only 149 per month.

GPRS works fine on only one HANDSET and that is..
Motorola C350

I tried about 5 handset's.. used NOKIA, SAMSUNG, BENQ, LG but MOTOROLA is giving me best result.
