    Other Which mobile connection from BSNL? How to port number?

    Yes BSNL Prepaid also has international roaming but that is not preactivated. There is a long procedure to be followed, but given the call rates (incoming + outgoing) I suggested that for international roaming, best is to get a local sim from any country. If you travel a lot then you can get...

    Other Which mobile connection from BSNL? How to port number?

    Sorry I forgot to mention a few points : For best call rates and low data rates again BSNL has the best plans. For international roaming as is with any Prepaid its not pre-activated. You need to give an application that you want international roaming and the duration for which you want it and...

    (NO GPUs) 'How much can I sell this for?' thread

    What can I get for a year old Dell Venue Pro (with qwerty slider) - 8GB version - Windows 7.8 with minor usage signs but no major scratches? Thanks A new one costs around 8400 now so at around minimum 20-25% discount for a used product I guess around 6-6.5k

Its around 2.5 years old but in good condition and used it mainly during trips once or twice a year, but just upgraded to a semi-pro bridge camera. So wondering what can I expect to get...

    Custom duty related queries

    Can anyone suggest the approximate duty on Digital Camera? Someone told me its close to 30% so say if I get a digital camera from US for around $400-450 then what would be the duty on that? And what is the approximate shipping? I think the camera would weigh appx. 600-800grams so 1kg max.

    Which Servo stabilizer?

    @greenlobster Sorry for not responding earlier. Actually I am not sure if you need a stabilizer before a UPS/Inverter. They already have inbuilt mechanism to output power at a specific range and can get power at a wide range, so I dont think a stabilizer before an inverter would serve any...

    need silent ceiling fan

    The silent fans are mostly for rooms that already have an AC. The principle of such fans is just air circulation. Mostly these fans also have a two way mechanism meaning many of them rotate both ways the principle being as hot air rises up during winters if its switched on it creates a reverse...

    Device to save electricity bill (Myth or reality )

    well there is no such product or the electric company themselves would give you such a product, because even if there is a 1% saving for reach household then they save a lot of money as it reduces transmission costs and all other associated costs. Only way you could save power is if you are...

    Which 7 kg front loader?

    @The_Falcon - Let me answer to some of your queries point by point. sorry it may seem like an argument, but I am compelled to answer. I cannot digest(without proof) that Top loader will consume water equivalent or close to a front loader, had it been so, Europe would not switched to Front...

    Best Inverter AC in India? Edit: Bought Sharp AH-XP18MV (AC discontinued)

    Ok I did a test by keeping the AC on 26-27 and was surprised that it uses only around 200W! When the compressor peaks again when temperatures rise it goes to around .6-.8 but most of the times its at around .2-.3. Yes so I guess if the Inverter AC is kept at a higher temperature the consumption...

    Which 7 kg front loader?

    @The_Falcon > I agree that front loaders consume less water and I have mentioned that, but with change in technology the difference has reduced. My 9 kg machine uses 90 litres and has 8 water levels. So at 6.5 kg my machine uses only around 60 litres of water. Hence, the difference in water...

    Which Servo stabilizer?

    The branded servo I guess might be close to 30-40% costlier than a non branded one. When we got one installed that was the price difference. We got a custom one made from a local vendor and theoretically no service is needed once installed. Only once we had an issue and the guy came over the...

    Best Inverter AC in India? Edit: Bought Sharp AH-XP18MV (AC discontinued)

    @RishiGuru - Definitely looks like your meter has gone bad. It might be running but not showing the correct info. At times it happens. Like you consume X units but it does not work correctly. I think you should get it tested because what will happen is if you do not register a complaint and...
