Has anyone tried connecting to GPRS from a BlackBerry phone on an Airtel
connection without BIS?
I tried with OperaMini with airtelgprs.com as the APN and empty username
and
pwds, but of no avail.
BB requires the BIS service from Airtel for data connections. Vanilla GPRS
is not sufficient.You need to specifically activate BB data on your Airtel
SIM
card.

My two cents:
BIS is for pushing mail and alike and GPRS is supposed to be independent
using their APN & goes through a proxy thus restricted to a particular port
mostly 80 and applications that use sockets wouldn't work thats when the
Data Plan comes to rescue which uses EDGE.
Pretty nifty these service providers who make the best out of it all.
