kshah 452 Report post Posted September 11, 2008 I am using airtel since last about a month and a half (few days more). Over all netowrk quality within city of Ahmedabad is poorer than reliance (about 90-95%). Call drops are certainly more than RIM. Network congetion during peak hours is also higher. Tariff wise, I think they are little expensive than reliance. But at the same time I may save on handset cost Data speed on EDGE is about 50-70% of CDMA 1X. But I am happy with it because of following reason. 1. Airtel offers AON for Rs. 99 PM, where you can browse for free. As per CC, you can browse 3 MB per session free later you are charged, means if you disconnect before 3 MB and reconnect then you are not charged. 2. If you search from airtel home page, then you are charged. 3. You cab remain online (On messanger 24X 7, for just Rs. 99 PM) 4. For mails, one can choose Mobile OFfice plan of Rs. 99 PM ( 25 MB free), use SMTP / POP to save data transfer. Means you can enjoy web for whole month in just Rs. 200 I am trying to find some tweaks and exploits for their web networks, will post if succeed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KumaarShah 143 Report post Posted September 12, 2008 Slightly OT, How does one find out whether the GSM network in any circle is EDGE or GPRS only? In particular, I want info on Chennai and TN circles. Voda is not EDGE enabled in Chennai, no idea about Airtel, Aircel and BSNL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
