In Mumbai, the same plan don't allow to use the phone as model, though you can surf the net on phone.

For surfing net from pc using phone as model through GPRS, you will need 199/- or 499/- plan, which are NOT unlimited downloads.

Check before getting the plan

Those 99rs, plan are the ones which are used in your Cell phones to browse WAP sites.. We cant browse with your PC.

We have 199rs per month and rs. 1.2 per mb transferred.


And regarding Handsets.., get Nokia 6610 for 5,800-6,200 rs. It's a good hanset for this price range :D

i'd suggest EDGE if you want decent speeds, get a 3220(cheapest)

I have read in one forum that Hutch allows Internet browsing using some proxy settings in this plan. Is it true?

Edge will certainly provide good browsing speed but I have tight budget and 3220 street price is around 7400/- and DKU-5 at 300/- It will be expensive for me.

I feel LG G3100 @ Rs. 4700 will be better as it supports GPRS class 10. I have a query whether the phone can be charged simultaneously while browsing the net on PC so that the battery do no get drain off.

Any Nokia Phone in this price range and performance as it is better in signal and battery?
