Airtel GPRS Settings for Lumia 800

Airtel Customer Support and their Technical Support recommend that you use airtelgprs.com as the APN for the new windows mobile phones from Nokia. However if you use the above APN on the Lumia 800 you will not be able to access the internet / download mails - pretty much do anything with your data plan. Simple solution is to not punch in an APN on the Lumia 800 and it works like a charm with the latest updates. The Lumia 710 however needs the use of the APN to access the internet.

Uttar Pradesh. One town a day.

The joy of returning to Delhi was short lived. Or make that not lived. :-(

Spent the weekend looking for a paying guest accommodation, as the ones i had contacted from paradeep were real opportunists, who realised that they had desperate customers who needed a place, and quick. The fact that it was only for a month added to their demands. 15 days rent as commission, for a months lease, to double rent, were the offers i was forced to reject, and the search began anew at the various property websites.

Finding a paying guest accomodation or for that matter,any accommodation is made easy by 99acres.com etc. :-)

A refined search resulted in a few more leads, one of which though far from ideal was acceptable, clean and inexpensive. :-)

Moved in on sunday, and reported to work on monday, to be informed that i will be travelling all of UP with the team undertaking trade promotion activities. The schedule read, muzzafarnagar, saharanpur, moradabad, lucknow, barreilley, agra and mainpuri, all to be covered in eight days. The vagabond existence, means we complete a meet, pack, travel a few hours by road, sleep, wake unpack, meet, pack . . . . . And the cycle repeats.

Off to Lucknow tonight, four locations to go, before i return to spend time in the market with the sales teams.
