Mobile Store and Idea Cellular – SIM Card Buying Experience

[dantool]

for me idea worked 100 times better than aircel.frequent disconnection and slow speeds are the issues marring aircel.sometimes webpages won't load at all.i used it about a month back and have switched to mtnl 3G since then.

hmm... i will try to find out about the airtel 2GB plan. their plan detail does not clarify whether the the package is available for two months or it works only for two months.

 

[Sushubh]

yey, idea has started working again. i guess the calls were not working because of the crappy network.

here is a cool message i got after making a test call:



this call was for 1 minutes and 8 seconds. so they are charging what? around 1 paisa per 2 seconds? i do not even know the name of the plan it has.

alright. i am confused about the icon that is coming just next to the signal bars. i do not remember what this icon stands for. anyone here who can help me out here?

Congrats adminji on your newly acquired device. waiting for some detailed review and cool snaps ...

mmm never mind. i meant to say... lack of 3G/Edge/GPRS options in India means that it would probably be as functional as the iPod Touch my wife owns.

so what do you recommend exactly! docomo? i have not seen any of their shops around my place. the tata indicom store i visit frequently do not carry docomo SIMs.

here is a video after i opened the box up and put it on charging. this thing looks so delicate. i saw some interesting videos on youtube that showed that the screen is pretty rugged. i am still waiting for the zagg invisible shield i ordered 2 days back. it would take at least 10-12 days to arrive. till then... extreme caution is the keyword.by the way if my wife sees this video, she would kill me. i do not let me 'clean' up my room and she hates it when i put photos/videos of my room (or kitchen) online.
