I think whiz meant 5 KBps (Kilobytes) ...not Kbps (Kilobits)

yup KBps it was....
I rarely get speeds above 4 KBps..thats roughly 32kbps... Should improve with a better GPRS class device as the ngae is only class 6.

you don't have to do anything at all, the phone will do most of the work  .

you mean I just have to register for Mobile Office and my phone would catch the EDGE network? No separate set of settings or a different plan than Mobile Office? |

Neha...when ever U call Airtel CC 4 GPRS related queries, talk 2 the GPRS tecnical DEPT. 2 do that U'd need 2 call 121 & then 1 for English...3 for added services 4 for GPRS & then 4 again for the tec exe. ( Hope it is still the same as being in Dubai...ven't tried it 4 a while)
I don't think U can goback 2 prepaid on the same no 1s U R Postpaid user...but U can always get a new prepaid sim card (make sure U get the Life Time prepaid as U get moreTalk time if U don't need validity)
Speeds depend on the area (as mrao mentioned) & Ur cell phone (I got better speed on Class 6 EDGE device like 6020 than class 10 like 6680/6681...more compatible with Airtel system according 2 a tecnical exe)
Cost is Rs 12.00/day as far as I could find out (Don't think its 11.50 as mentioned by dheeraj...not that there's a major diff) n not 360/month as than it would be 372 for months with 31 days more over & U can discontinue using it in 5 day n be charged Rs 60 for 5 days (otherwise it would be 360 even when U r discontinuing it)
There is no download limit & non of the sites are blocked but U would ve a tough time downloading 4m File housting sites which are restrict 2 one download/IP as Airtel shares the same IP 4 all the users...but then again there R ways 4 which U can PM me when U come across them.
I suppose this answers all Ur quries that might ve lready been answered...I just thought I had 2 put in post my Hours of talking 2 Airtel CC & tec.exe (the executable file that works on Airtel's GPRS OS)
