GPRS Disconnects After Every 5 Min

[rageaddict]

since the past 4 days, my mobile office internet on computer has starting disconnecting between every 4 to 7 minutes...i tried arguing with the customer care folks but they said it might be because of a virus...so next day i tried these things.1) i checked the data cable... works fine, no problem...2) checked the USB wires inside the computer... works fine, no problem...3) downloaded the lastest version of norton anti-virus from office and downloaded the latest virus defenitions along with it... installed it on my computer... found one virus... but it was a useless harmless software crack so issue still unresolved.4) formatted my computer (all drives) during the wee hours of 3 in the morning... re-installed xp but issue still prevailed.5) took my mobile phone and the driver along with me in a pen drive... stormed a friends computer... installed driver... configured sh1t up perfect... clicked "connect"... it connected... after 7 minutes, the fu@king thing disconnects...so...has my sim card been black-listed???is there a problem with the sim card???did anybody else face this problem???how the hell do you explain this problem at the showroom???

I've faced the same problem in the past, had to struggle a lot to get this working, I even got my gprs connection reset, sim changed, nothing worked. Finally after updating my phone's firmware, the problem went away.P.S.: Try your sim in a friends phone, gprs would work fine.

was busy!anyways, the disconnection problem was "entirely" airtels... this problem was faced by entire airtel users in my area. it started working fine about 2-3 weeks ago.i called airtel customer services and those bastards didn't even tell what the heck was going on...i had an appointment with a local doctor and thats when i came to know that our local airtel tower had collapsed entirely. that explained the reason why my cell info display was showing a city that was miles away.anyways, the problem sustained for a month and in this period i had already bought a new vodafone prepaid card.i now have bought a chinese phone which can dually work on two sim cards. airtel and vodafone in my case. :thumbsup:anybody still facing a similar problem better call 121 and throw a mouthful at those call centre bastards. those fu@kas do a good job in convincing people that its not a problem on airtels side but its on your side.for those who think airtels all straight edge and sh1t... think again!!!
