Default Being Charged for GPRS although having unlimited data plan - 11-03-2009, 02:02 PM

Hi there..Iam using Blackberry Pearl 8120 handset and "Airtel" (prepaid) service provider..
Today I registered with Blackberry Internet Services... Unlimited Data Plan for Rs.899..on my blackberry and Data services has been activated.. fine....
But when I connect to PC with the settings(+cgdcont=1."IP","airtelgprs.com",0,0) ... Iam being charged for 30 paise/50 KB... which shouldn't be because of my unlimited plan... ( May be I think BB Internet services or different from GPRS...so Iam being charged for GPRS.. correct me if I wrong....)....
Is there any other settings instead of "APN='airtelgprs" ( I think Iam being charged for that)
Is there any way to access internet on my PC without being charged...

Help would be appreciated....
Advanced Thanks...
Desparado............

I would think that there is a plan to use the Blackberry to "tether" to your PC.
Verizon charges extra each month for this (on top of the Unlimited Blackberry Data Plan).
I would contact Airtel and ask about adding the ability to tether to your PC. Should save you some money.

YOU should contact airtel.
jbairdjr was not saying they would contact airtel.
