I have two doubts:

1. Is Airtel Live! service free? And do i get charged only for the content i download.

2. What is the cost per month if i want a GPRS connection to access all wap sites like wap.mobile9.com etc...?

Thanks in Advance.

Airtel Live! is free. You get charged on the spot if you're on prepaid and on your bill, if you're using post paid. Even activation is free. All you have to do is send MASALA ACTIVE (in Caps) to 121.
GPRS connection I think is charged at 10 bucks or so. If you really wanna know more about it, I suggest you call the call center - 121 on your mobile to find out.

Airtel Live is free for surfing Airtel Live Portal. U cannot access any other site. U have to pay for anything u download (Unless it is marked free)

With Airtel GPRS (known as Mobile Office), u can access any site. The monthly rental for Mobile Office is Rs.150 (in Maharashtra & Goa Circle).

The speed is not worth talking abt but it can suffice ur min. requirements like checking ur mail and using messengers, etc. I get speed of around 4-12kbps (not KBps) which is pathetic
