anujit 0 Report post Posted September 2, 2004 yeah many gprs phones support cable connections to a computer through which you can the surf the net using gprs. however the speed there isnt quite as fast or the price quite as expensive as RIM.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kshah 452 Report post Posted September 3, 2004 GPRS (hutch call is Hutch connect) cost 499 PM in ahmedabad speed really bad. I used it for a month on moto C350. Airtel 600 even bad. Idea - no idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kshah 452 Report post Posted September 4, 2004 If one just want to remain connected for mails etc. then GPRS is the best option. Most economical. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jusmail 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2004 What about tata indicom? do their phone function the same way. Looking at all your replies, Reliance seems to be the leader in the pack, definite pay-as-you-use advantage to prepaid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ashokjp 15 Report post Posted September 4, 2004 If its the speed that matters and not money then reliance is the best among list. If you are an average user and u just want to be connected to net then GPRS would be the right choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greens 21 Report post Posted September 5, 2004 Even TATA coudn't acheive the speed which they advertise and they are struggling with the launch of Internet Services. So Reliance is the leaders when it comes internet on mobile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
