Exclamation Postpaid/Prepaid Connection in Bangalore ?


A friend of mine(who is a student) wants to take a Cellphone connection in Bangalore. His usage is very limited. Apart from making some local & STD calls his only other need is a GPRS/EDGE functionality so that he can access the net using the laptop/PC.

So which company offers the best Value For Money & reliable service in Bangalore ?

Among Postpaid & Prepaid, which is best option based on his needs ?

Thanks in advance.

^^^ yeah for limited usage, the once suggested by akshay is good. also for sms, he can always opt in for an sms pack (costing 30/40/50, i dunno exact amount). wid this pack the rate per sms becomes 1 paise (local only).

^^Yeah you are right.Spice network is really bad.Call connect times are insane!

Anyway you can try Tata or Reliance as they offer excellent speeds @ low costs.

I've heard that it's really difficult to get a BSNL cell connection in Bangalore unless you've some contacts in BSNL. The waiting period is really long for Prepaid connection and is not available on demand.

What about Airtel ? Are they having any student plans with GPRS/EDGE ?

What about the reliability of Airtel in Bangalore ? Will there be any network congestion during high volume times ?

1) as of now i've seen bsnl sims are retailers. i guess the rush is only for bsnl lifetime sim. or not even that. this was the situation sometime ago. but now i think everything has stabilized. u should get a sim pretty easily.

2) airtel has student plans. but that is restricted to only call rates (50ps A2A during some period) and sms (100sms per day). but all gprs/edge plans in karnataka as hopeless/crap <insert ur fav. abuse here!>. neither airtel nor hutch, spice, bsnl... no service provider has viable plans.

3) airtel's network is the best.
