All the operators have more or less similar tariff structure.MTNL Mumbai’s Blackberry 2G tariff is very attractive one.Charges beyond free usage are only 10paise/KB ,while same in other like airtel is 50 paise or 15 paise depending on plans.

No Attah, even we thought the same. but as azad rightly said, its a practice being followed by all operators – even ur Loop Mobile (pls read the new post).

The concept of free usage of 500 kb doesn’t make much sense, especially with 3G services.

I think there’s a typing mistake on MTNL’s part…It must be 500MB!!

But this really is strange.

Why are these operators even offering 0.5 Mb or 1 Mb of free usage. Dont’t you’ll think its somewhat very less of an offering for 500/1500 bucks.

Also, the per kb usage charge of 30p and 50p is way damn expensive. With the speed you would get in 3G opening a regular website page would cost you 10-12 bucks.

I definately agree with the idea of waiting till this 3G market gets a bit competitive, because these data plans sound insane.

The plans are a joke.

But, there is a logic. MTNL & BSNL are the only 3G providers for now and may remain so for quite some time as the 3G Spectrum Auctions don’t seem anywhere near.

They have clear Monopoly/Duopoly whatever and can charge anything they want.

I guess very less people would sign-up who have money to burn on this.

For me I’ll get into 3G when it becomes competitive and I can make low cost video calls to my dear ones.

Before writing “Strange isnt it???” compare it with all other Blackberry service provider like Idea,BPL/LOOP,Vodafone,Airtel and other.
I think that’s the better way to review the plan.
