i think he is right! you wud have got the info faster by asking them directly instead of posting it.

This is strange given the fact that airtel has increased the mobile office rates for maharashtra frm 150p.m to 360p.m!!! So first confirm if the rates have been "increased" or "decreased". In maharashtra circle, the speed has improved coz many ppl have discontinued using MO coz of high rates (broadband costs only 250p.m)

I am with you dear, today; yes today I was surprised to check heavy deduction of my balance and only after enquiry I came to know about the increase in rentals which they had implemented in my case from 7th of July. Again it is surprising to learn that mumbai circle rents have been decreased, I dont follow what is the policy of airtel, can they decide on their own such sudden rises, i mean is there no check on such things?

Its perhaps good news for you, but for us that is Maharashtra & Goa circle, the holidays are over! our prepaid deductions have been increased from Rs 5/- to 12/- i believe you are not happy

Are you?

For some of my frnds using prepaid, there has been no deduction at all for gprs rental for past 2 months!!!

I believe Airtel has reduced gprs rental in bbay circle coz of hutch n idea as it wants to MAKE UP for its poor netwrk in bbay as compared to hutch. Also heard idea is going to bring rates further down.

my gprs rates r 7rs since 2months now.....

M

Tell em how? share this secret with me I am fedup, if this will continue i mean airtel live, for time to come i can go for discontinuing MO! depends on your guidance for me to try.

in Kolkata circle it's Rs.249/m, in WB circle they don't provide MO on prepaid!!!!!!!!

N

in idea it will be 500pm for unltd !!
airtel will be 450-500rs depending upon the area
and i think hutch plans are limited...ie like for 499rs for 500mb and goes on further !!

Hi guys It is Rs 7 Per day in Mumbai

I live in mumbai. I have prepaid connection. I am charged Rs. 7 per day for mobile office. There are no activation charge/monthly rental for this service. You can deactivate this service any time (i.e. you don't have wait till the end of 30 days to deactivate as in other networks). Even if you want to activate for 1 day you can do that. MO lets you browse any site that you want. You can even use your mobile as a modem to connect your laptop/pc to the net. Another service is airtel live. Its free. You can only use it to go to airtel's homepage. Other sites are blocked. The connection speed for mobile office is excellent, much better than that of Hutch. If you have an edge capable handset then you con have nearly twice the speed of regular handset, as airtel supports edge.

highest here in himachal pardesh 400Rs per month & its only on postpaid.

ah i'm happy though better than the crappy sancharnet dialup

Whats dat pathik.!!

btw am paying 11.90/day in Pune....

But one thing is good...at nite i get some 27-28kbps speed..if Torrents from Private Trackers has very good seeds...

Thru rapidshare i use to get some 25-25 at night..

Here they charge Rs.15 for daily baises
n Rs. 375 for monthly browsing! Quite expensive :evil:

A

We have to pay Rs.25/- per day for the same GPRS in Karnataka. That's why I brought a sim from Kerala to reduce the cost.

Damn...thats hell of costly...25/day....

what speed do u get alanpaladka..!!

A

can some tell me whether using our costly EDGE enabled phones for internet browsing for long hours...i mean using it for net 12-14 hrs a day is bad for our cellphones....are cellphones designed for this kind of usage.....ya i had a msg from airtel that MO rates are reduced to rs.7 per day...but i don't know what would be the exact speeds and and what it will do to my cell...

A

i was using GPRS on Airtel prepaid when it was Rs.5 per day. What i used to do is activate it when needed and the again deactivate it within 4 hours. So many a times i was not charged for that... lol !!! now i moved on to postpaid.. so enjoying 2 months of FREE GRPS now

.. but later on 349 per month :-(

too sad....

I'm having a corporate connection of zero rental postpaid airtel at Delhi. For corporate connections, they are offering gprs at Rs.99 only. I've recently started using this GPRS-99 plan and was being charged Rs.499 for the last one year since i was not aware of any such offer. Anyways, i'm satisfied with it than paying Rs.500 or so for broadband with download limits. I'm using EDGE from my nokia N91 and it gives comfortable speeds. It may be noted that I'm able to connect my computer with it and its not just for internet access on the mobile phone. I dont see anyone giving such a cheap offer with no download limits and I'm able to be online anytime during the traffic jams and chat using AgileMessenger. I'm hoping for getting reversal of payments for last one year since it is upto them to let me know of such a offer.

Using EDGE/GPRS is not bad for any mobile.
