Takes about 1 week here. I have never faced this problem using Reliance 2G Sim.

You can try. Usually they will come up with some excuse and will try their best not to refund the money. Same thing happened with my Docomo Sim and they said that I was downloading games from xhamster.com...wtf...?

I've had horrible experiences with two Reliance GSM numbers I took in Kerala. At the moment I'm using Idea post paid but I might switch to something that has better Internet plans. Airtel had a good 2 GB plan for me but theres not enough coverage where I live :( .

yeah they have increased their callrates too..
and this problem is common.. when i get a recharge done of rs 100 or more.. same things happen to me.. Reliance GSM is very cheap i must say..

Well, reliance gives unlimited @ 101 rc with speeds of 25~KB/s, thats fine IMO :)
The rates have been increased by all the service providers. AFAIK in reliance, it dose not implies on old customers, but contrary to it, one of my frnd's rate increased :))
Overall, its the most money saver service provider in india IMHO, although its network sucks a big time :(

i have a reliance sim lying around since months. switched to airtel. their GPRS/EDGE speed was around 20kbps but since january 2011, speed have came down to 3-5kbps & gets disconnected all the time.

I'm using airtel gprs from those days, when edge didnt existed and i got speeds of 6KB/s, which was best at that moment :p After edge was started airtel was again a leader in it and i have got avg speeds of 25KB/s and always greater than that, best in pune @ 29KB/s, then b'lore around 27KB/s. But since last yr it is sucking big time giving speeds around 10 or so :( Docomo has got real VFM gprs plans with decent speed. But i'm satisfied with my reliance gsm giving speeds around 20 to 25 KB/s :) But i again say, wireless services are totally area dependent. In my home town, reliance gives speeds of 2-3KB/s :(
