Hi Friends,
I have been able to access the net in my pc since last week.
After doing so i came to the following conclusion,
The net is very slow (only 1-5kbps)
To download just 1 MB (any thing) i have to waste nearly an hour..
sometimes in the middle of sth the gprs connection gets lost..
to connect to net , first i should be able to get gprs.
to know gprs is there or not i have to play with my mobile for sometime(15 min) i.e. switch off and on...
and net comes not when i need but when gprs is comming
Last but not the least.. i am not able to use yahoo msger, download songs, access some sites, etc.,,,
So i think that its not worth of wasting time in all these things.
Try some other way of accesing net.
Thank You |

i happened to get my hands on a 6630(edge enabled).... i got a whopping constant speed of 17 kB/s while downloading.... the speed was showed on DU Meter.... on my k750i i get only a constant speed of 6kB/s.... i.e 1 MB in a little over 3 minutes.. (during nights only) ..... it proves edge enabled phones can download faster on existing gprs connections....
btw the speeds are dependent on how busy ur network tower is...

Anybody heard of the Airtel cellmail service. . .
I called up cc and asked for cellmail activation. They told me to type SUB and send it to 600. That message itself was charged at 10 bucks. They told me this only enables me to send email via sms limited to 160 characters. And that too at 3 bucks per sms and 30 bucks per month. Seems this cellmail has nothing to do with email client:-( . WHAT A BLOODY RIP OFF? Airtel sucks. . .
By the way, i think mobile office is the only way to get email client to work. At times i really feel that Airtel deserves to be hacked to the core for their rip off services:-) |

I have 6630 and I never get the speeds you said. I even called up airtel asking if they have edge services but they said they do not have edge services in Tamil Nadu. and in mobile office one can get maximum 115kbps which comes about 12kb/sec so u cant cross that speed in theory atleast. |

@jerin
Your interpretation of speeds doesn't seem correct. At 6 kilobytes or 48 kilobits per second , i can download a 1 mb file in exactly 3 minutes on my W550i which has no edge. AIRTEL OFFERS NO EDGE YET. So edge is out of question now. . The speeds you are getting are normal gprs speeds and it heavily depends on voice traffic on ur local network. Remember that gprs also uses the same frequency as that of voice traffic. This explains why the gprs is generally faster during late nights and early mornings. |

well I dont really agree with you. Earlier I used k700i( a non edge phone) and I used to get 7-8 kb/sec (using flashget) constantly. Now I use 6630 and I get constant avg speeds of around 13-14kb/sec.(using flashget). Apart from edge there is not much difference between the two phones if we consider networking only. I do have some friends using MO and they get constant speeds of over 20kb/sec using edge phones in some parts of kolkata.
I called up Airtel cc and they said Kolkata servers are partially edge enabled although I dont exactly know what they meant by "partially"  |

You may be right. But i still dont understand what Airtel means by partial EDGE. As in chennai it doesn't make any difference in using an edge phone. I ve tried using 6230 which has edge and found no difference . Infact it was slower than my W550i . Perhaps chennai doesn't seem to have that partial edge facility. Theoretically speeds of 20 kilobytes per second aren't quite typical of edge though. A class 10 edge offers speeds of about 284 to 384 kilobits per second . By the way, where do you live dude? |

Don't loose your heart dude. Almost 90% of people using this trick are getting speeds more than a PSTN dial-up connection. That's worth and free also. I'm enjoying this trick fully. So I think there might be any problem with signal(network) in ur area. So try to find out the exact problem by yourself practically. |
