I have recharged my mobile with Airtel Rs.98/-(up to 2GB limit) Internet pack.
But I only able to brows web pages on my opera mini.
No youtube video and no download possible.....:evil:
Speed is better good,better than Aircel.
But I am able to play youtube video and can download anything with my Aircel net.
I suggest other not to go with Airtel Mobile Internet..........:cry:

I think you can get the data balance by using the number *123*10# .

Re: Cheated By Fcking Airtel !

I believe you might have a handset which does not support Automatic Configuration of GPRS. For example the handset I,m using doesn't support automatic configuration of GPRS . I receive a message stating that the htc SAP1000 that I use cannot be automatically configured and I need to contact Customer Service for GPRS settings. However I just searched a bit and used the settings I found on the Internet and it seems to work for me at least.

Here is what I used.

Re: Cheated By Fcking Airtel !

I use Docomo Rs.48 plan to browse.Got 100MB daytime and 2.5GB night limit.I just use it o browse on my mobile so it is enough for me.
For my PC I have BSNL 500 plan with 2mbps.But the good thing is that Iam getting unlimited for the past 1 year due to some billing problem :D.
I swapped my plans from 500 to 750ul(256Kbps) 2 times and I dont know wat happened but for the past 1 year iam getting the bill of 750 per month no matter how much I download and i get speed of 2mbps.
It is like 500 plan fked 750 plan and I got a hybrid plan.:)

Those idiots did the same thing to me... if they don't know the answer, they simply disconnect you... and never pickup the call from same number again... I called from my sister's mobile and they picked up. Ask for their superior, they are usually helpful.

you get max 500kbit/s on a EDGE line but India does not have 2.5G network so i think about 56kbit per slot that depends on operator and phone so i would say a max 144kbps ...

I was referring to the point that the phone might not support automatic configuration of GPRS.

Nonetheless I haven't actually tried any streaming video on my Android Phone but let me try and see if I can play any.

there is a good plan in Docomo i.e., Rs.98 plan, u'll get 200MB in daytime and 4GB night limit and the validity is for 30 days...
the speed is also good...

but my personal choice is Aircel... unlimited is the best option... i'm using it from past 4 months and til date i have not got even a single problem with it :-D

Unfortunate I only use net from 4AM morning to 9PM night.
So I need a plan for all day and night but TATA only giving 200MB.....:(
2GB for 30day is enough for me but I budget is limited.
I already used Aircel but its speed is mot good in my area.

Airtel got better speed than Aircel in my area but I can't able to watch YouTube.
And I'm a YouTube freak.....

Owned by MTNL, Dolphin is probably the cheapest option in Mumbai, but the network is bad. MTNL is the equivalent of BSNL and exists only in Mumbai and New Delhi, the two cities where BSNL is not present as a cellphone operator I believe. Correct me if I am wrong.

Vodafone has recently launched unlimited usage plan @ Rs. 98 per month. Check it out.

MTS is a CDMA network. They are providing a EVDO based device MBLAZE, which is equivalent to Tata Photon + & Reliance Netconnect. Still MTS might be (a bit) Cheaper. Also, their data plans include unlimited browsing of Wikipedia & Yahoo .

I can't say. Such information was not available on Vodafone's website or on the pre-recorded voice message. The only way to know is to ask the CC executive (or whatever those poor fellows are called).
