Bsnl Gprs

ya...i have sen one of my frens use it...
First he used GPRS Rs 37 scheme where he could use it only on fone....but it had the serious disadvantage tht BSNL charged him for per KB download....

then he shifted to Rs 199 scheme which restricts data tranfer to 4GB per month...for any additional data downloads, he had to pay....

so, its upto u...to choose ur scheme...

the only competitor BSNL GPRS has is with AIRTEl.....airtel has the advantage that the Customer care service is far superior than BSNL....i m using Airtel Mobile Office and have speeds around 7KBps..here in Gauhati ...

all the best!

i am not planning to use it for browsing in PC, I am just going to use it with my mobile.
BTW what is the AIRTEL's charges?

airtel charges vary from state to state..
in punjab its 19 rs per day...

@gmanog -airtel hav to plans
1]. One day plan @Rs19per day(u can use it on pc ,unlimited use )
2]. Full month Plan @Rs375per month (u hav to maintain Rs 400 ballance to make a request to activate but they will charge only Rs 375 for unlimited use)
##########only for mobile
1].one day plan @Rs 5per day (u cant download a file more than 2mb (Aprox),but for unlimited time
2].full month plan@Rs 99per month(same u cant download a file than 2mb(Aprox),but........

hey Josan...what plans r u talking of...??? what is ur location,,,??

in my place we have two plans:-
1. NOP = Rs 99 per month....for mobile use...no charge for per KB downloads..
2. Mobile office = Rs 249 per month...for pc use...no charge for per KB d/l..

all these plans are on per day basis...like if u activate for 1week, they will charge u only for 1 week...

GPRS gives a maximum speed of 8 KBps only, so it's not worthwhile for a computer. if you are going for Airtel NOP plan remember one thing it doesn't support POP3 in Mobile phone.

The BSNL GPRS plan is good, but then again better use broadband. However if u can live with 8KBps then Rs 200 for unlimited is not a bad deal

GPRS with EDGE technology gives around 14-16 KBps speeds(maximum)....AFAIK it is available in pune.......otherwise it gives 8KBps without EDGE as u said..

r u sure its 4 GB? is it for prepiad or for postpaid?

ya its 4GB limitation...n is available on BSNL postpaid//

Hi guys
Thanks for your responce. I am only looking to use in mobile phone. so which is cheap and best?
For my PC usage I got broadband connection.
I already got a hutch line, what do they charge for GPRS?

Since you arleady got a Computer with broadband, go for Airtel Prepaid with NOP plan.

@panacea....... BSNL unlimited gprs plan have no limit.... What you said that it has a 4gb limit is totally not right.... Check their website.... Its totally UNLIMITED....but only for post paid customers....

then BSNL cheap and best?

Ya cheap but dont know its best or not.....

I am using HUTCH GPRS now as I had hutch connection already. 49 rs monthly rental plus 10 paise for 10 kb traffic.

^^ ya HUTCH GPRS is too expensive, they should make some unlimited plan like AIRTEL, BSNL .......
