I know the only Internet Service provider through cellphone is Reliance.

TATA infocom has entered recently into this field.


Does BSNL provide internet connection (on PC) through its mobile service ? If yes pls give a hint on the scheme.

Yeh GSM Providers like Hutch , BPL provide internet access thru mobile devices.Hutch charges 500 bucks rental.Airtime charges are free!But speed will depend on your device.(How many Download channels it has)

Are You sure BPL & IDEA offer internet on PC through GPRS enabled cellphones ?

hutch gives around 40kbps (and limit of gprs is 43.2) but with EDGE enabled it should give THREE TIMES HIGHER speeds tho i havent tried it out. that means theoretically it can achieve 129.6

download speeds are wen u divide it by 8 so for

GPRS = 5.4
EDGE = 16.2
