Airtel set to start operations for 3G services, successfully tested .

^^^

they offered unlimited gprs when it was very new... years back.... but they didn't do the same with edge...

so I guess we cannot see any unlimited plans when 3G launches... they will just milk the customers as long as they can

1.5k seems a reasonable amount but you never know what will telcos do.. they will surely put a data cap

@DigitalDude
when there is 4G why bother 3/3.5G ?

coz my phone doesnt support neither 3.5 nor 4 G by the way how many of your phone comes with 3.5 / 4 G support ??

got 3g & wireless LAN on the cell, since 08.2006.
No plans to upgrade

[krazzy]

People in India are having 3G phones since the last two years. Still no sign of 3G network. I'm sure the 3G part of these phones will have rusted and died due to lack of usage. The day 3G gets activated, these phones will start laughing hysterically and explode. And the same will happen to us when we hear the cost of 3G.

NOT everyone is getting full speed also.

I'm using and I get full speed...
Atleast it is better than those CDMA USB Modems from Tata and Reliance at an equal cost......

I agree on this. Make that 90% to 99.9999999999%.......

[krazzy]

The reasons MMS didn't get popular is:
Its expensive.

It needs the other party to have an MMS enabled handset with the service active and

Why use MMS when you can just as easily and at almost no cost email it (that too right from the phone itself)?

[Pathik]

Actually MMS was free by airtel about 2 years back. And it was (mis)used to the fullest by many people. There used to be mailing lists and groups(MMSplus rocked ) for all sorts of videos and games/apps. But then bloody Airtel started charging for it.
Neways if 3G is below 600 bucks by any SP then I m gonna go for it.

[iinfi]

600 bucks 3G plan from any SP will be highly data capped plan at least for the starting 4-6 months.

[naveen_reloaded]

Unlimited will cost atleast 2k...

3G is going to cost a bomb! That's for sure?
I hate these data caps!

[Krazy_About_Technology]

a lil Offtopic: Can anybody tell me whether Vodafone in Delhi has Edge or not? And if it has, how can i detect that on a sony ericsson walkman series phone, any special icon for that?
