Dont go for RELIANCE
Dont go for TATA Indicom's USB stuff.

If you are ready to pay 400 Rs Per month. get yourself a good EDGE enabled cellphone. Get a AIRTEL sim, and activate mobile office. and start browsing. it will give you speeds about 238 Kbps or so and download speeds my vary between 15 to 20 KBps or so

with K750i you can get 115.2 kbps connection.

Reliance DataCard is superb but the speed sucks. download speeds range from 2 to 6 KBps here in Bangalore. and Tata's usb is an other sucker, if you wont get good network coverage it gets disconnected.

Don't go for Reliance/MTNL. They just give you attractive offers, nothing more that that

Get the trial of Airtel PCMCIA card/ Usb modem at an airtel shop nearest to the place you are going to use the connection the most. If you are satisfied with that, go for it. They claim to provide speeds upto 247kbps but that is not feasible at all in a metro.

Using Tata usb modem in Delhi and speed is Ok. Downloading speed average 13kBps . Plan 325, 30 hours free surfing/downloading is good enough for average users.

IMO Go with Airtel MO....
EDGE enable handset doesnt works if his local network wont provide EDGE,

I am using Gprs with 15-16 kBps d.w speed ;)... In just rs. 249 / month...

@Gigacore
K750i you can get 115.2 kbps connection
Mate it only data transfer rate between pc and cell not the net speed....

when i connect my cell via bluetooth i get 115.2 kbps speed but with data cable its 460.8 kbps... its only data transfer rate...

It dont make much difference in net speed....

BEST bet would be AIRTEL MO :D

who told u that Nokia 3230 dont have EDGE :eek:

I am using 3230 since one yr for surfing... and getting abt 15-16 kBps

It depends upon ur local network , it giving u EDGE or not... Not only having the EDGE enabled handset gives u better speed but u need EDGE support from ur local network....

This was saying: *www.esato.com/phones/index.php/phone=157
anyways it supports edge.
And EDGE appears below the signal strength meter at the standby screen if i am not wrong. I get G -> GPRS, Do i have to try out with some setting to get it EDGE.

check these links,on official site mentioned that it has EDGE

*www.nokia.co.in/nokia/0,,66147,00.html
*www.gsmarena.com/nokia_3230-923.php

anyway, if u r not getting the "E" symbol then ur local network is not providing EDGE ....

Did u see anyone in ur network with "E" ??? of course not....

it mean ur network is not supporting EDGE... i already said that only EDGE enabled handset dont give u EDGE speed. Ur network (or can say ur tower) dont support EDGE...

Get an Airtel connection.
Enable GPRS. (mobile office)
Pay Rs 14.99 per day for unlimited internet @ 115 kbps (Although online bandwidth checks pegged it at around 49-58 kbps which translates to about 5 - 7 KBps)
Its good for normal browsing and small downloads.
Best feature is - No rental, can be enabled /disabled on day-to-day basis.
I have been Using it for last week and its good. - and yes.. no extra roaming charges!!!
