reliance also has some r-connect wireless access card which allows u to use the internet all over the country where there is signal reception. it is a nice small device and a good buy for frequent travellers. the only thing is it is costly around 10 k i guess and the reliance internet speed sux big time now. the tariff is also expensive though 1500/- p.m for unlimited usage and 650/- for 1 gb transfer limit.

What is the speed on GPRS thru Airtel and BSNL and is there any advantage using EDGE Phone for browsing Internet on computer?

Airtel is providing Mobile Office at 600/- in Lucknow and HUTCH GPRS is @ 99/- monthly, BSNL @ 350/- which is better?

Airtel for 600--> Both wap sites and PC browsing using ur phone as the modem . Unlimited. Speeds--> around 32kbps.

Hutch for 99--> just wap sites (unlimited) via ur mob.

Hutch for rs. 129 PM + 1.20 rs per mb transfered --> Both wap sites and PC browsing using ur phone as the modem . Same speed as airtel.

EDGe speeds --> 120kbps+

Thanks drgrudge I feel that Nokia 3220 alongwith Airtel connection should be a wiser choice as u said speed in edge phone should be 120Kb+ I will go for this.
