sougatadc 358 Report post Posted February 14, 2011 This is really disappointing especially for 3G subscribers. It matters little whether the unlimited usage cap for 2G is revised to 6GB or not, as it is next to impossible to cross 6GB usage with the current state of connectivity that BSNL offers on GPRS/EDGE. But the withdrawal of unlimited usage for 3G subscribers is a real blow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted February 23, 2011 Atleast I am lucky as I am using 3G data base tariff of 1p/10KB (Rs1/MB still continuing) with Local/STD/Roaming voice calls @ 49p/min and Roaming-STD video calls at Rs1/min... But the removal of Rs4200/6 months plan is disappointing, atleast they should continue with 60GB/6 months for that Rs4200 STV... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted March 1, 2011 Now those begg@ars have ALSO SNATCHED THE DEFAULT 1p/10KB BENEFIT FROM OLD CUSTOMERS ALSO... NOW OLD AND NEW CUSTOMERS HAVE THE NEW BASE TARIFF OF 2p/10KB Is TRAI dead??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karthik R 246 Report post Posted March 1, 2011 I am relying more on TI's EVDO these days.. The base tariff is just 50p/1Mb which can be effectively reduced to 30p/1Mb with their HSIA packs - Rs.320 for 1Gb, Rs.94 for 350Mb, etc. Though the PeaK speed is a bit lackluster, stability and coverage is excellent. Heavy download is through BSNL home broadband Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mgdelhi 192 Report post Posted March 1, 2011 There is a work around for unlimited plan. One can opt for iPad 3G plan @999/- unlimited which works pretty well in Data Cards and other phones. http://www.bsnl.co.in/service/3G/3G_files/ipad_dataplans.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
