USB/PCMCIA modems offered by Reliance/Tata will bound you to these operators. You cannot use Tata's USB/PCMCIA with Reliance network & vice-versa. Plus, also have a look at their rates for time-based & data-based plans. I am not sure about the case with GPRS modems. > > Also, from what I have seen, the performance of phones in terms of > speeds over GPRS connection varies a lot. I have used Airtel GPRS here in Gujarat. Compared to that I find BSNL's GPRS much better, at least in Gujarat. Besides N73, I have also used Samsung X-700 with same results. -Pawan _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22/23, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
