sorry, not agreed.

I'm statyin @kolkata, where i'm using MO with my requirement. I have used it with HP ipaq where i can use GPS stuffs very fast. downloads and surfing both are stisfactory. I have downoaded 55MB file from rapidshare ... no line breaks and while using IDman, highest speed was recorded @31 Kbps [for a few seconds]

if you are using MO with Nokia, be sure that no proxy is in use and rather than using OTA setting, use personal settings. You can also surf the net from Live! in on your phone. && if using SE, make it HTTP mode and use the proxy in Internet Profiles [selected models] and use "No Proxy" in streaming settings.

nah not in kota.... i will arrive kota on 26th.....

@topic

if u using s60 mobile then use "Field Test" and change ur tower ...

Yes its possible to change your working tower but only for s60 devices ..
change tower and experiment to get best speeds for selected towers.....

when i had 6630 i had changed tower from a simple gprs to EDGE network in Delhi....

So try urself....

if u want the software i will post here

Nov 21, 2007 at 12:34 PM
esumit bro ..yes its unlimited for download and upload.....

but i dont understand one thing

for rajasthan its written MO cost as 449/month but here in kota (rajashtan) i have to pay only 395/month..... and its the costliest in rajasthan only....ma friend in up pays 250/month.....but on site its written 400....why is this so ?


btw am using this mobile office and it is great !!!!!

Absolutely....why not.....

See ur phone catches the signals from a selected tower....

suppose u have two towers in your phones range.....
one has simple gprs network and other has edge network but your phone is using simple gprs tower connection.....so u can change the tower selection using field test to get the edge network !!
if u want the softie i can post it here and its uses.....

Ive been on airtel GPRS since it was launched , for me its decent not that great and handset mattered as well ... T630 was slow , 6670 was a tag faster , HTC Touch (EDGE) is a lil slower than the iPhone (EDGE)

Hi all
I just visited airtel website and had a chat with their customer represntative about mobile office. They are saying that for 399/- per month only 100kb download is free (mumbai circle) and after that the charge would be 5p per 10kb.
Is their any unlimited plan available???

@alimighty bro

3230 had edge and max of 117. kbps i.e 14-15 KB/s with 10 +/- % in speed

so its surely that u have edge in ur area...use n72 or any other class 10 or class 32 edge phone and then see u will get 24-25 KB/s for class 10 edge phone (236.6 kbps)

They are right. They have mentioned the rates for postpaid. That is more or less the same throughout the country.

Rs.399 for 100MB and after that per MB chargeable
Rs.599 for 500MB/1GB not sure abt that and after that per MB chargeable

Ask specifically for prepaid how much is the MO tariff..

BSNL GPRS is much much better den airtel, idea, hutch... Speed and connectivity are no issues.

At the moment I am using free GPRS!!! I had subscribed to BSNL GPRS and had then given application for disconn. Though my bill and BSNL system shows GPRS is deactivated, I can still use it!!! I am getting edge at almost 75% places that I visit in Maharashtra.

My cellphone has a feature to show "G" when on GPRS and "E" when on Edge. Although it shows "E" when I did above testings, but do you belive there could be a reason that its still on GPRS???
If so, can you suggest me some way I can ensure that I am on Edge?

^^ you are getting simple GPRS speed,
ask customer care to be sure that your area has EDGE support,
and if it happens that your area and handset both supports EDGE, then there may be some signal strength problem
