How To Activate IDEA GPRS On Apple iPhone 4/3G/3GS

In India Apple iPhone is neither a common-device nor is it officially available for any other service provider than Airtel and Vodafone, and hence customer-care representatives of non-iPhone carriers fail to provide a working GPRS settings for these devices. The same problem was faced by me while configuring IDEA GPRS on my friends Apple iPhone 4, luckily configuration was as simple as entering IDEA specific "APN" value just like we did in BSNL GPRS Configuration earlier.

To configure IDEA GPRS on your mobile device input internet as APN value and you are all set to go, this can be achieved by navigating to Settings -> General -> Network -> Cellular Data Network -> APN on your iPhone 4/3GS/3G as shown below.

4. Open winterboard
5. check it off the supreme preference tab and respring
6. Then go to settings

Thanks bro , for giving such a useful information . It really helped me . I used ur hint and enjoying 3G internet services ..!!!!!!

I came to India with my iPhone 5, and couldn't access the internet, even after I activated Idea 3G via SMS, and bought a 3G data pack. I used your setting and it works perfectly - thank you so much! :-)

Yes, the APN setting works.
But I remember NEVER filling any details on my Windows phone or Android.

Why such special care required for damn iPhone?

Super!! Thanks dude for sharing that.... critical point which the money grabbing providers don't divulge
