I am presently using Airtel Postpaid, MAINLY,ONLY,ESPECIALLY for their GPRS service, Mobile Office. It's for Rs.399 per month with a 100MB download limit. Now, Mobile Office is available on prepaid as well. So it comes for Rs.12 per day in Mumbai, which is Rs.360/372 per month and APPARENTLY with no download limit. ................so I would love to change to prepaid but I want to make sure there's no catch... SO could you pleeease answer these questions?
1) Are any sites blocked on Airtel PREPAID gprs?
2) IS there any download limit? ( I asked the customer care but they didn't know that there was even a download limit for postpaid GPRS)
3)Can we send/receive emails with the email client? |

@Indiandawg yes I'm sure I pay Rs.399. It's a noticeable difference in amount-howcould I miss it? I think all old customers are still charged only Rs.199.
Come on, there must be some Airtel Prepaid users here...or else I'll have to call customer care...the last time I called, the call was taken by a guy who didn't even know that Prepaid users have GPRS...he kept me on hold for a long time before coming back with stuff I already knew. I don't think I can handle calls with these cc guys...there was a time when they were informed...now even the cc is cheap and Airtel doesn't provide any information about their GPRS services anywhere on their website except a brief mention of Mobile Office;no tariff rates, no activation info,nothing. |

With an EDGE enabled phone...i get a consistent speed of 20 to 23 KBps..... but again...it also depends on how close you are located to the nearest tower
