I activated GPRS on my BSNL SIM with my K750i. The reason for activating GPRS was not browsing, but it was to check my Yahoo Mail, G-Mail, & Windows Live Mail, along with Yahoo messenger while I m away from computers. I did not go for Windows live Messenger or GTalk with Jabbar compatible clients because I hardly need them while on the move.
To configure your Yahoo Mail in K750i. K790i & other similar SE phones, do the following, the settings should be about the same for other phones such as Nokia or Samsung too
Open Control Panel -> Messaging-> E Mail->Settings
Create a new account Name it “Yahoo” & fill in the following settings
Connect Using = Your GPRS portal, in case of BSNL select “bsnlgprs”
Protocol = Pop3
Incoming server = pop.mail.yahoo.com
Incoming port = 110
Encryption = No
Mailbox = your yahoo ID
Password
Outgoing server = smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing port = 25
E mail Address = your full mail ID including @yahoo.com
Download = Headers only, this only downloads the subject & name
of the sender, no real mail is downloaded. This saves bandwidth,
as you only open or download the mail which u want.
From name = your name
Signature
Copy outgoing & check interval = off, Check interval determines the
automatic mail checking time, turn it off & do so manually, this
again saves bandwidth & tariff charges.
Now, go to your inbox & click on “send & receive”, it will at max download 10 to 20 kb only, again saving money because you are only downloading headers & not the full mail
To Access G Mail on your Mobile phone, you can thank Google for releasing a JAVA based client for mobile phones. This means just like real G Mail only some text based data is transited & not the full webpage or inbox.
Go to *gmail.com/app from your mobile phone’s inbuilt browser. This will straight way give u an option to download the G Mail app for mobile, which is 113 KB only, download & install it. Its JAVA based so it will even work with Symbian Phones (Motorola phones have problems though).
After installation, you need to allow the G Mail client access to internet, for this go to
Control panel->Settings->Connectivity tab->Settings for JAVA, & select your GPRS access point, in case of BSNL select “bsnlgprs”
Now go to File manager -> Applications folder-> & Start the G mail client, now just enter your mail id including @gmail.com & password. It’s secure with SSL. U will see your inbox by default. Now right click to open the menu->Go to->Settings & uncheck the option “preload …….” Again, just like yahoo mail in mobile as mentioned above Gmail will only download the headers & not the whole mail. It will download the mail when you open it.
For Google Talk, check out Talkonaut. It is a Jabber client which supports text only chatting with Yahoo, MSN, ICQ, and AIM & Google Talk.
Yahoo messenger in mobile phones.
There are 2 methods, the GPRS one & SMS one, since SMS method is not supported on BSNL, I opted for the GPRS one.
First, go to *in.mobile.yahoo.com/ click on Messenger on the left hand sidebar, you will find two options, either SMS or GPRS, depending on what you like, opt for either one of them.
If you are going to use the SMS method, the simplest way is to download the yahoo messenger for SMS client, which is again JAVA based. Transfer it to your mobile phone usually & install it. Now simply enter your yahoo ID & Password, to login. When you receive an IM it will be delivered as a SMS. Another such method is via Yahoo messenger for Windows, in which you can simply “Sign in to mobile device”. This however does not support BSNL yet
If you are like me, opting for the GPRS method, so that you only manually check for messages when you need, then check out this page. Using this method, you can check your messenger simply using GPRS irrespective of the carrier. You just sign in using the yahoo Mobile webpage, & you will show as "I am mobile" in Yahoo Messenger, now when ever u recieve an IM, it will be delievered there. Now here is a catch, you don't need to have GPRS enabled always. Just sign in using the mobile client, you will show as Mobile in Yahoo messenger, now exit the browser, which will close GPRS, but you will still be signed on to Messenger, in case someone messeges u, it will be delievered as offline messege & when you manually sign in again, you will see it in your phone
For Windows Live Mail & Messenger, you can follow this page, it uses GPRS Data so it will work with all the carriers out there. I would really suggest MS (gave feedback already) to release a JAVA based WLM client like the G Mail client for mobile

just founf out a few new things
If you are willing to pay, you can use QuickIM for logging in to MSN messenger using GPRS in your mobile phone. It features basic chat features, which are good enough for on the go needs
