same problem was here with vodafone..... I even visited vodafone gallery & they tried with the manual setup for APN..... still was not working....... Then one day I reseted the phone to factory settings with SIM card inserted...... MAGIC...... there was an APN setting I never thought of...... and GPRS starts working........................
Hope this method also work for you...... best luck....

Used to have the same problem. Still do sometimes. Think it's a bug or something. A quick fix, (better than restarting the phone at least) is to do a soft-restart, I think it's called. Just hold on the power button for less than 10 seconds, and it restarts. If you're in a GPRS-EDGE supported area, it should be activated when the phone restarts. Hope that helps. Cheers.

I solved this problem by adding a new APN as following:
Settings =>
Wireless and network settings =>
Mobile networks =>
Access point names =>
New APN =>

Now find out what is your APN setting from your Provider or goolge it.
in the UK for Three provider, I only added this:
three.co.uk
under Name & APN with no username or password (leave everything as it is)

Thats it. Once done, click on the APN name radio button and it should turn to Green. You will see that Data Packet will start working right after.

Hope it helps and solve your problem.
