==airtel Gprs Querries===

[panacea_amc]

a few days ago, i posted this thread. i seem to have come up with a few conclusions:
1. mobile office = Rs 249 per month (diff in diff areas): uses HTTP n not WAP: unlimited access, downloads, can be used in both pc n fones.
2. WAP = Rs 99 p.m.: uses WAP n not HTTP: charges for downloads per kilobyte as net is accessed thru WAP n not HTTP (pesonal experience), i know airtel.in has not mentioned abt per KB downloads, maybe these r hidden costs: can be used only in fones.
3. aitrel live = no rent : paid downloads, paid surfing.

PLEASE NOTE THESE R DATAS I VE GATHERED AFTER EXTENSIVE SEARCHING, IT MAY BE INCORRECT, SO PLZ DON'T GO BY IT.

Airtel GPRS charges and plan outlay vary from region to region.MO is economical in prepaid (Tamilnadu circle),Rs.375 with unlimited browsing and downloads.For postpaid,airtel has Rs.399/pm for 500MB downloads+Rs.5/MB afterwards,Rs.599/pm for 1GB dl+Rs.3/MB afterwards,Rs.799/pm for 1.5GB dl+Rs.3/MB afterthat.
But,very unfortunate thing is that,'data' is calculated as pulses of 1MB which means if you use 1KB to 999KB,it will be calculated as 1MB.Airtel has a complicated way of billing 'Data usage'.

Well...so what if i want to use it on PC for surfing and downloading..as well as cell (only messengers).. one of my frend pays 5rs/day... thru Airtel.. now i dunno if its Airtel LIVE..or Airtel Mobile Office..or WAP...

 

[panacea_amc]

welll, its a long time since i posted this thread.....my basic querry was that "DOES AIRTEL CHARGE ANYTHING FOR PER KILOBYTE DOWNLOADS".......
well......its been 1 month ever since i posted this thread....and now my bill has arrived....i checked it 2day at the airtel.in...that showed me great relieved.....i was only charged for the rental( Rs 249 per month) and no other charges for downloads.....i earlier used 2 have BSNL dial up...it charged @Rs29 per HOUR and here in airtel @Rs 8.33 PER DAY......i cant just imagine how the BSNL guys r looting people....
ANYWAYS THANX 2 AIRTEL AND THINKDIGIT FORUM AND PEOPLE HERE AT THIS FORUM!!!!!
