It should be Post-paid!

Rs. 99/- monthly STUDNET POWER SCHEME

How can they get 99/- in pre-paid.
99/- per month should be monthly rental!

It is POSTPAID.. Actually, it seems cheap but you will have to pay all you talk(outgoing), chat, SMS etc.. Perhaps, AIRTEL (w/ TALKTIME of Rs 50/- ) at Rs. 200/-

You will return home from college some time or the other. It's for that. Besides as far as I know, Cell Phones are allowed in most state colleges. Atleast thats the case here in Orissa.

Hey MOBILE PHONES FOR STUDNETS ARE NOT FOR SHOWING OFF AND TIME-PASSING IN COLLEGES. It is for STUDNETS WHO LIVE FAR FROM HOME AND CAN CONTACT THEIR FAMILY AND FRIENDS.. Of course, Mobile phones should be banned in Colleges..
