d network’s facing congestion here. It say’s network bz. . .

same here….you can try these following steps:

start->control panel->printer and other hardware->phone and modem option->modem->select you phone modem->properties->advance->
write on extra initialization command box: AT+CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”TATA.DOCOMO.INTERNET”

i guess these steps will help you access internet through PC.

Docomo’s network is totally bad.
Gprs works fine if network is good.
Sabse bekar operator.
For gprs go with idea,airtel.

Not totally agree with u…docomo’s n/w is bad but it’s gprs is good compared to other old gsm n/w’s….

pls dont criticise the Operators..
It might appear bad for u but not for all…for ur information the DOCOMO is the Best in GPRS with the speed of 30kbps ,where no operators provide this speed..Try changing your Handset if u hav some network problems, but dont criticise the operator..

well said dude i think we should give new operators time to get their problems sorted out and it would be wrong to compare newer operators with older ones as the older ones had enough time to improve their service and newer ones havent got the time.
