Airtel Mobile Office - Pay for Use zero rental plan!

[Shripad]

well for emails and important news and browsing on mobile alone, this plan is good enough. and its 50KByte and not 50Kbit.

See, if you use something like Opera Mobile, disable images and check gmail, it hardly takes 50KB to login, check and reply to an email. Here 25rs/day turns out to be too expensive. Thats useful only if you want to use your phone as modem for laptop and even then speeds will be very slow, so its not a good browsing experience at all.

Opera Mini FTW :bleh: Yeah its 50KB, good for the occasional browsing or sending that email while away from the comp.

Why bother ?? the rates are absurd ... 20p for 50Kb or 50KB ?? makes a hell lotta diff. .. i'd still go with 5 bucks for 24 hrs. Net on Phone ... something like u must dial *555*1# (or *444*1#, one was for Net of Phone, the other for Mobile Office, donno which one was which) to activate it, and *555*2# to deactivate .. if needed more Mobile Office is for 25 bucks a day .. atleast that works fine in Kolkata. . the speeds are horrible though ..

NOP has been history since quite some time if i am not wrong?

Nop still works. Rs. 5 unlimited browsing on phone.
Mobile office 498 unlimited browsing tethering.
Airtel live (why use this when Nop is there ?)
Ucweb still works.

 

[Balkazzaar]

+1 for UCWEB...i find it way better that using Teashark or Opera.....

Well I'm also using Airtel GPRS in my Laptop for the last 1 and 1/2 month. Activated the daily rental plan. Done a lot of surfing d, downloading etc - not charged for a buck till today. What's the catch here?

Its 5 Rs/day for Net on Phone ... with which u can actually use all internet related stuff on the phone ... so basically using this plan when u download 500 KB, that equals to 50p per 50 KB = 5 bucks .. hehe .. the other NOP plan is 5 bucks a day for 24x7 unlimited net ..

 

[ultra vires]

i pay 299 for unlimited downloads.. usually i end up using 500mb or so..

btw.. i am using a corporate connection

Cross-check your balance wont be deducting by huge amounts. It was free around 40 days ago for me too. If still its free for u. njoy:hap2:

 

[alsiladka]

Correction - it is actually 30p/50kb. But still a nice deal. Occasional browsing & checking emails over Nokia Messaging is nothing compared to the cost.

 

[it_waaznt_me]

Yawn .. I pay 199 per month for unlimited MO .. Im on corporate plan too ..

My friend is screwing AirTel for good .. He's downloaded almost 60gb over GPRS .. .. All that for 199 per month . ..
