for cheap and instant activation, try airtel mobile office.
Mobile u can use sonny erricson k310i - Rs4000(datacable supplied with set), or nokia 6020 - Rs4500.

Speed will be around 6KBps and unlimited access for just Rs 12/day.

bhaiyaji!! AB AIRTEL KA FREE GPRS TRICK BAHUT LESS KAAM KARTA HAI. it works rarely n its speed is like hell so dont go runnin behind stupid airtel.but if u still want to use airtel for gprs then better buy a cheap EDGE neabled handset like 6020 or 3220

does 3220 haf Multichannel GPRS enabled??!! err.. its not me.. i'm jus filling in for someone!

actually u can even get an SE T290 if u can find. if must be available for abt 2k or less, if u can still find it that is. but it doesn't haf EDGE (and it doesn't haf multichannel gprs too! ... clarifying it in the first go itself! hehe...)

otherwise a 3220 is a very good option and cheap too. but finding one maybe a bit tuff.

cheapest ...... i mean cheapest phone for net is LG 2050, it costs you 2.5k, but its battery is worst
Motorola have some lowest GPRS modem handset, good option, or SE K310i is also a good option, for EDGE, go straight to 5200, have class 10 EDGE....
