hi,
lemme plz bore u with some of my woes.
Me is a subscriber to BSNL DataOne.And like the rest of the subscribers im unhappy over DataCap.
So me is planning to switch over to Airtel/Hutch GPRS (Forget the speed etc).
I heard of this 99 Rs thingy where one can use phone as modem.
Phone is no problem coz me is gonna buy 3220 or any other GPRS enabled phone.

So i call up airtel and they say it is possible to use phone to surf WAP enabled sites only
with prepaid.

How come some of u are surfing all sites with this that too by connecting it to PC?

So the main question is

1>Does airtel/hutch have this offer for new numbers or shud i switch over to an old number?
2>Is this legal?Coz they specifically said its meant to be only for WAP sites

Plz help coz airtel/hutch ppl said it aint possible with prepaid anyway and im not willing to buy postpaid.
Please reply ASAP
Thanks in advance
