retro182 1 Report post Posted September 23, 2010 Hi, I am a BB Tour user and am currently on the E-Lite 299/month plan for BB messenger and emails. I really want to upgrade my self to the full service but have come to notice that the charges at Rs. 1099/- pm are really high as compared to the the equivalent offers from GSM players for Advance Rental of Rs. 6999/- only even RCDMAs advance rental scheme for full BB service is at Rs. 9891/- for the full year.! I can only assume that the high charge for RCDMA even in advance rental scheme is because it offers EV speed compared to EDGE by GSM players. But is the extra charge for the EV speed justified? I need your opinion. Can the fellow forum members help me decide whether the switch to GSM just for the sake of cheaper BB plans is reasonable. Fortunately my Tour will be able to accomodate the GSM service hence will not have to look for a new BB handset. But I will surely miss the RCDMA network and its great call quality which I've become accustomed to! Please advice. Await your opinions and thanks in advance.

Arun 795 Report post Posted September 23, 2010 Vodafone and AirTel offer BIS at Rs.399 per month on prepaid and that is the cheapest BlackBerry service you can get. Vodafone charges around Rs.500-600 (I think?) for the same plan on postpaid. I don't think they will offer those plans over 3G when 3G is available. If you don't mind using BIS over 2G then those plans would be fine for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
