m8 log on to the bsnl website, they have 2 doc files on settings, thats for postpaid only. I'd reckon they should be the same for prepaid too.

BTW it isnt activated as yet, heard from the customer care in bangalore.

BSNL, prepaid has been activated here at kerala. i dont know about other places. It worked for a week for me and then died. its over a week now, hasnt worked since then.I've asked customer care they told me that some tech probs are there, and will be corrected soon.

for activating just send a sms to 333 quoting "GPRSE".

I'll give you the settings which worked here.

Well I am in Rajasthan and here BSNL says to first fill a application form for GPRS/MMS activation and then send a SMS "GPRS" to 3723. Then they will send a reply with GPRS settings. Hope it helps.

Here is how I activated in Lucknow, my BSNL Prepaid GPRS , it's costly though

1) Sended an SMS to 3733, text GPRS, got a reply that GPRS will soon be activated, better talk to the service guys at 9400xxxxx for settings regarding my particular mobile , k700i

but i searched on google & used the BSNL GPRS settings for north zone

I had the same document file for the WAP setting and entered it for t-610 but it shows GPRS failed.

There is an activation charge of Rs. 50 for GPRS on prepaid. But it is waived off till July 31. ie you got it activated free if u activate it before July 31.

There is no browsing charges. But if you decide to download something to your mobile, ie Java Games, Ringtones, or Wallpapers, you gaonna pay for that. Rs. 10/Kb + charge of content provider.

And mind you, you need a balance of atleast Rs. 200 for actvating GPRS on your prepaid.
