Hi Guys,

I am on a so called "Rakt Pipassu" Airtel Postpaid Corporate Plan.
I pay close to 200 as tariff PM along with some 1 Re STD/Local calls with 1000mins free local calls etc etc.

I am going out station for few days and need access to Internet to Work from Home.
Since my Nexus One has 3G capability + Airtel launched their 3G service recently, I want to use it with my current plan.

Now, I did not find proof of the launch of 3G services mentioned anywhere on Airtel website.

Does anyone know what are the tariffs? Or which is the best tariff plan from Airtel, if available?
Can i avail it right now? Will it cost me more during roaming?

Also, Docomo people show a lot of out of context, useless Ads on TV about their 3G services, are they good enough? How is coverage and tariff?
Any feedback/help is appreciated.

Thanks,
 
Airtel 3G is not launched yet and as of now docomo has removed the large screen plans from their website and it displays only small screen plans meant for phone but i dont get it how they can stop us from tethering and one more thing is that 3G towers(both bsnl and docomo) arent available everywhere, so first find out if you will get any 3g signal at that place.

You sure about this???

I would say that history backs Vodafone as the most expensive operator with respect to Internet plans. :P

The 2GB/Rs.98 plan has been available in Airtel for around a year now, but Vodafone just only launched those. Atleast I heard so from a friend who uses Vodafone.
 
Vodafone is the costliest beyond doubt. When it comes to GPRS in particular, they are matchless in their pricing.
 
Yes normal internet on an iphone (EDGE) costs 99 rental and then 5paise/10KB...what a rip off..earlier on pre-paid I could use almost unlimited (as far as phone usage goes) internet using my E63.

A;; on Vodaphone prepaid
 
I also get 3G symbol on the phone for a short duration at boot up and then it immediately becomes E (EDGE).
