agreed LTE is coming in the near future, but that doesn't mean these dumb private players will introduce such dumb plans which won't get down to any body's throat.arun687 said:^ It will not be financially viable for them to do something like that. Heck, we don't have such plans even for wired broadband.
All we can hope for, is something realistic like say 2gb of data for Rs 200-300, for 3G. I don't think even this is going to happen anytime soon. And remember, 3G is not for downloading torrents and 24x7 usage connected to PC.
agreed that its not meant to replace wired broadband in terms of reliability.delguy19 said:well agree with crap plans but please stop dreaming using 3g and replacing with broadband as its not a broadband and its not ment for replacing it. its for mobility use. so if expect them to give plans like landline broadband its our mistake to think like this. secondly plans are way crap and not good at all

Calling these plans sh!t is insult to sh!t
Sent an SMS from my Samsung Spica. Got a reply back that the offer is closed.blkrb0t said:Regarding this plan for N8: special plans for Nokia and Samsung phones #Airtel3G on Twitpic
I have a N8 and also an Airtel SIM and I'm on the 98 rupees GPRS pack, but I haven't got any free 3G offering or even any message from Airtel.
when i sms'd to that # from my Samsung galaxy 551, i got reply from airtel -swordfish123 said:Looks good for nokia and samsung users

That sucks, Airtel 3G tariffs are a joke, watching a youtube video of 5-7 mins would cost around 30 bucks. I am sure all these private players will make a cartel to keep the prices beyond what they should be but still keep them close.Pat said:^^It says *Terms and Conditions Apply. I think they would be offering these special 3G plans only to the customers who buy the phone from Airtel.
as said eariler to 3g is for mobility and if use for that purpose its fine anyone dreaming of replacing with broadband and downloading movies and so on needs to wait for few yrsHades. said:For just surfing the net 2G unlimited GPRS plan ~ Rs.89 is more than enough... PPl only want high speed mbps plans to download movies and stuff for normal surfing 2g gprs plans are best...
It would be enough if we get the theoretical EDGE speeds of 230kbps and constant and RELIABLE connection at all times. It's not the case with most of the operators. Also, with 3G there's the advantage of voice and data at the same time.Hades. said:For just surfing the net 2G unlimited GPRS plan ~ Rs.89 is more than enough...

All I get in Docomo in peak hours is 50-60 kbps and at certain times it doesn't even connect. What's the use if you're stranded somewhere and want to use maps, do a quick google search for some info or to just check email and respond to them. If it isn't there for you when you need it the most, it is as good as it doesn't exist.
what are you saying man? i am using BSNL 3g 24X7... last month i downloaded + upload crossed 300GB...stop misleading people.delguy19 said:as said eariler to 3g is for mobility and if use for that purpose its fine anyone dreaming of replacing with broadband and downloading movies and so on needs to wait for few yrs
