I have a Reliance FWP at home with 'free calls to any Reliance CDMA' enabled.
Now i need to buy a new mobile for myself.
It will be used for incoming only (90%). I am student so my monthly expense must remain as low as posible. Dad is not helping here, its on my pocketmoney.
so plz suggest a plan ( Reliance is prefered, then TATA and then GSM) and a handset too.

I tried to get info from friends, but they all confused me.

One said Airtel is good for internet as it charges Rs.12 / day for 150Kbps and unlimited time, MBs. Is it true? prepaid or postpaid.
I pay 400 bucks a month to cablewallah for 64Kbps unlimited.

If u guys have a better solution then plz suggest.

But plz remember that once i purchase it i'll be stuck with it for atleast 3 yrs (plan + handset). Having to spend additional 100 bucks every months is big deal for me.

Go for any lifetime validity plans.
It would be best as most of ur calls are incoming only.
Smart GSM by Reliance @775 will be most economical for you.
As for handset unles and until you specify ur reqs and budget it wud be difficult to suggest.
