How to activate GPRS on E65 with vodafone prepaid

I got one great mobile Nokia E65, and I am starting to dig it. First of all I am going to activate GPRS to get full power of E65. I am using a lifelong Vodafone sim card. To activate GPRS we should do the following:

1)To activate GPRS on simcard
2)Download and save settings on your mobile phone.

To activate GPRS on simcard, send a message
ACT VL to 144

Automatically settings will be sent as SMS. Save it. But I didn't get any settings at all. So I set up it manually. To do it manually,

Go to menu->Tools->Settings->Connection->Accesspoints

Here shows available accesspoints. Probably you should make a new one named 'Vodafone live!'.To make new one,

options->New access point

Enter into new access point,then configure as shown.

Connection name : Vodafone live!
Data bearer : packet data
Access point name : portalnmms
User name : None
Prompt password : No
Password : (No change)
Authentication : Normal
Homepage : http://live.vodafone.in

Then do,

options->Advanced settings

Network type : IPv4
Phone IP address : Automatic
DNS address : Automatic
Proxy server address : 10.10.1.100
Proxy port number : 9401

To access GPRS,

menu->Web

Yes, you have done!

Note: I am residing at Kerala,India. So people residing outside Kerala, should take appropriate changes. Call 111 for any help from vodafone.
