Hi all, I posted this yesterday in the 7100 forum, no luck so far and I'm getting desperate for help.

I'm traveling through Asia on a tsunami-relief project. In Indonesia (Banda Aceh, nothernmost tip of Sumatra), I am connected to the Matrix network and getting GSM coverage only, no GPRS. Other people here who are using T-Mobile Blackberries are getting GPRS on the same network.

According to Cingular's coverage map I should be able to get GPRS through the Telkomsel network, but I get SOS only when I connect to it, even though the coverage map indicates good coverage here.

Anything I can do to get GPRS or am I stuck? Thanks very much for your help - getting internet access out here is a huge pain!
