AIRCEL mumbai unlimited internet for Rs. 98/-

[Pratul_09]

Finally Mumbai can get unlimited WAP and GPRS for just Rs. 98/-. Just launched in Mumbai Aircel has introduced a new offer whereby any prepaid user can get unlimited internet on handset as well as PC/Laptop for only Rs 98/-. This offer is valid only on e-topup of Rs. 98/-. This offer will surely wake up Airtel MO and Idea Netsetter which are promoting their internet, even though Airtel charges Rs. 25/day and Idea charges Rs. 599/month for unlimited internet. This is hightime that the other operators also offer similar rates which will help in internet penetration in India

[MetalheadGautham]

Whoa, EDGE ? It sounds like a steal if you are allowed to access internet through PC/Laptop. Is linux supported ?

It doesnt depend on operating system.

private operators change their gprs charges frequently. i have used airtel gprs+edge in east circle @99/- per month unlimited, when airtel was launched there. later they raised charges to 249/- per month unlimited

Currently available in mumbai, but i'm sure it will be soon launched in pune. Airtel MO is the costliest of the lot with Rs. 750/month for unlimited internet. Other operators charge based on 10 paise/10 kb which is 10 Rs./MB. Aircel is also giving free games and other downloads with this offer.

Aircel Kerala has similar scheme ? Or this is only for Mumbai ?

Meantime, Airtel MO (internet on mobile plus pc) Rs.125 per month (we have to pay Rs.1500 for 1 yr in advance) in Kerala and that is EDGE.

[Tech.Masti]

^you are lucky guys, here in west bengal MO IS Rs.999pm., Rs.35/day , they just looting here

[Coool]

999pm & 35/day?? That's tooo much

[Pratul_09]

In West bengal you can get cheap GPRS thru Reliance Smart GSM, which charges approx Rs. 10/day. Don't know of the other operators. Airtel is big bully and uses arm flexing tactics with its customers, which will only affect airtel in the end.

[Cool G5]

Guys stay on topic.
Can anyone confirm is the net GPRS or WAP? The one which is for 98/month.

I am thinking of getting this one. I need to verify whether this is GPRS or WAP since I need this card only for using Internet. Aircel site does not give clear idea neither other forums.

[Tech$oft]

Yup which one is the unlimited and pc gprs plan!!!

[ThinkFree]

Must be a limited period offer. There network won't be able to bear that much load. Services already pathetic in Delhi, so expected to get worse if they keep on providing such lucrative offers.

[pr.itdude]

yeps........these r just introduction offers.......!!! they'll soon start charging more !!!
but very gud till its 98/month....!!!
Btw, im getting it free but cant connect to pc....i dont need too...!!!

[ratedrsuperstar]

has anyone tried using aircel howz the signal everywhere?

[Cyrus_the_virus]

This is only an introductory offer, so if you think you're going to have this forever, then don't bother changing to aircel, BTW, there network is sad, always interconnection issues with other networks, conjested interconnections, always busy.

[amitava82]

You get unlimited grps (EDGE connection) from Vodafone for Rs.98 in Kolkata. Been using since last 2 months. Works for basic browsing. It works on proxy, so any internet based application on phone won't work other than browser.

[Pratul_09]

Both GPRS & WAP are unlimited for Rs. 98/-. Their site is not updated, so no details of the plan. Just call customer care at 121 and ask for unlimted GPRS/WAP of 30 days for e-topup of Rs 98/-, and will get the reply and the settings for GPRS.

[sandeepkochhar]

Guys!!! I wanted to know the dial up settings for connecting my phone as a modem to surf net on PC. The settings I got over air are working fine for WAP.

So I called up their customer care (which is pathetic at the best). They told me the settings as :-

User name:- Blank
Password:- Blank

Dialing no:- *99***1#

Using these settings I am able to dial the no and it proceeds to Verifying user name and password and finally to registering your PC to internet. After trying to register for about a minute Windows throws up Error 734: The PPP link control protocol was terminated."

WTH!! Upon googling I gotta know that this may be because of incorrect username and password.

Can anybody who is using Aircel PC Internet help me with the settings.

[sandeepkochhar]

CC guy confirmed that 98/- month voucher is valid for both WAP and PC Internet
