Airtel offers EDGE in chennai

[mkarthu]

hi,

Is airtel gives E-GPRS in chennai? if so what is the speed?
i am using w700i my speed is around 4-6kbps..

 

[Crazy Kidd]

Way too slow. Confirm about EDGE from Customer Care. Its easier than searching in forums.

 

[Pathik]

yeah and edge ll definitely give more speeds than that... Tho u cant trust airtel much

 

[blueshift]

Does any other mobile operators provide EDGE service anywhere in India?

 

[alanpaladka]

Yes. My friend is able to use it.

 

[Pathik]

airtel provides edge in some areas of delhi n kolkata

 

[alanpaladka]

But not in Karnataka. I haven't seen anywhere in this region.

 

[Crazy Kidd]

No EDGE in Kolkata. But Mumbai has EDGE. My friend from Aurangabad uses EDGE.

 

[Pathik]

i dun think ther s edge in mumbai

 

[Crazy Kidd]

Sorry not so sure about proper Mumbai but Aurangabad and Pune is confirmed.

^^^ Airtel offers EDGE in Kolkata and a few other places in West Bengal.I'm sure bout dat.


@mkarthu U wont be able to use EDGE even if Airtel offers it cuz ur fone doesnt support EDGE.

• no EDGE in kolkata by airtel....airtel only gives 28 kbps by its mobile office...though on connecting with my pc thru my nokia 6630 it shows speed of 460.8 kbps.......but actually its only 28 kbps.....NO WHERE IN WB EDGE IS WORKING.........

 

[Crazy Kidd]

No Edge in Kolkata and West Bengal. I live there man. This is confirmed. No doubt. And someone posted that some part of Kolkata has edge towers. Thats ridiculous.

Well one of my friend's brother works for Airtel in kolkata. I even confirmed from him.

Hutch offers EDGE in Punjab earlier to watch LIVE TV shows on EDGE compatible handsets.Don't know did they provide this or not now

 

[krazyfrog]

In mumbai, both airtel and hutch offer EDGE.

@Crazy Kidd hey i'm from Durgapur in West Bengal and i'm getting D/L speeds of 18-25KB/s normally and 25-32KB/s @ nite.So hows it possible if Airtel doesnt provide EDGE.

 

[Pathik]

^^^ Nokia 5500 Sport doesnt give E sign,its gives two arrows pointing in 2 diff directions just like Nokia 6630.
