Some queries - what exactly are you seeing beneath the tower signal? 3G or E? And which phone are you using? Nokia or HTC? (You have mentioned posting in Nokia forums, but has mentioned about something like there is no option to turn off GPRS in Nokia phones like HTC.) Yes, GPRS cannot be turned off in certain HTC models. As far i know, only BSNL provides 3G connectivity in Kerala.
 
my phone is Nokia 5800- connection is Airtel with GPRS (No EDGE).I was refering to some discussions on nokia forums.One guy mentioned in the forum that he used to have HTC with on/off funtion for GPRS.Beneath the Tower Signal No 3G ,no E( i assume E stands for EDGE) only two arrows. Sorry for the confusion.
 
EDGE is also known as Enhanced GPRS. 2.5G networks featured GPRS. Airtel Kerala (like most of the other mobile networks in India) is now 2.75G enabled and hence it supports EDGE. Basically, GPRS and EDGE are the same, but EDGE is kinda superior to the other.

The E must disappear if you follow the steps outlined in https://broadband.forum/airtel-mobile/56978-airtel-super-gprs-pack-kerala-rs-98-2gb-free-30-days-validity/#post378613. I took that from the extended user guide of Nokia 5800. The same steps worked fine with my N79 and E71 too.

Have you upgraded the default firmware of the phone to the latest one?
