Just giving APN Name does not activate your GPRS this is crap info I recieved the Access Point, Home page, Proxy, port numbers to setup Wap.

Hey, dont know about others, but mine worked perfectly by just entering APN name.

And my proxy, port numbers are all left blank.

I guess it all depends upon the service given my your mobile company.

Thanks.

It worked for me too
I just enter the APN value and that’s it
but if you want to use GPRS as a default internet connection
turn off WLAN

tejasss007 October 8, 2010, 2:06 am

from breant kearny link u will get the x.mobileconfig file for disabling
after doing what’s given in the broadbandforum u will get y.mobileconfig file for enabling Vodafone gprs, but this doesn’t work, so compare the two files and add the values from the y.mobileconfig file to the x.mobileconfig file.
Mail urself the x.mobileconfig file n install on iphone by clicking on it in ur mail.
