^That will come with FUP. :D 500 bucks for 50GB as down payment, but Rs 500 for each GB you download. :D

Re: Are u shifted to 3G from 2G?

Currently I m using IDEA 2G.
If I shift to IDEA 3G then will I have to get another SIM for the same 2G cell no?

Of course not. Same sim will work.
I don't use 3G, i get 24-30Kb/s DL speeds with reliance 2G, and m happy, plus 2mbps brdbnd :D

Re: Are u shifted to 3G from 2G?

I had shifted to 3G few months ago, found that I never got promised speeds, had major headache with signal reception as when the phone frequently used to switch between 2.5G and 3G resulting in dropped calls etc, had a long long support ticket with Airtel, nothing was fixed and I first ditched 3G and then Airtel :D

:+1: yeah dude, the worst part of this 2G/3G network swapping is that battery ends in a day which runs 2-3 days in 2G. :x

Plus i did viedo calls from reliance to airtel and docomo, and found it dissatisfactory :( I wish upcoming mobiles come up with higher resolution front cameras, they still struck with VGA :(.

I'm still on EDGE as well. Vodafone has ridiculously high priced 3G plans. Besides, I'm content with the current 2G speeds I'm getting for regular browsing. It gets the job done. MTNL has introduced a plan for Bombay recently, which allows 25GB data cap for Rs.499/-. The catch - Validity of 7 days. :x

Vodafone has ridiculous 3G plans. I just checked the MTNL plans in Delhi and w00t!

500MB - Rs 250
1GB - Rs 450
2GB - Rs 650

Much better than Vodafone plans, but I am not so sure about MTNL's network coverage. :| In Mumbai, I have to almost jump out of my house to get any signal worth mentioning.

Re: Are u shifted to 3G from 2G?

Guys,

if you are in Bangalore, using Vodafone n/w and if you are already using 2G data plan, do NOT shift to 3G till the end of your billing cycle. They are saying that if they de-activate 2G data plan (as it is necessary to do that to activate 3G data plan), they will charge 10paise/10KB for whatever data is downloaded since the billing date (in my case it is 20th of every month). This is absolutely ridiculous. They won't tell this to you and fortunately, I came to know about this only after calling them and asking again and again for status as it has been two days and I was yet to get a call/sms confirming activation.

Re: Are u shifted to 3G from 2G?

guys i did tried 3g on aircel , reliance and vodafone in kolkata. but not tried video call as i don't know anyone else who is on 3g. i still have 10 rs bal left on aircel to make video call. i felt aircel was best in speeds. so even i am thinking of getting aircel 3g . and luckily i got this news that aircel is providing unlimited data on aircel 3g dongle @rs1275. so i am looking forward to it but am waiting for someone else who have tried this and do recommend me.
