Misc.

Six Years ago, on 6th July itself India lost one of the Pioneers of Indian Business. We are talking about Mr. Dhirubhai Ambani. A dream that converted into the mission of his company, and thanks to this dream we now see international players now wanting to enter the Indian market. The Rs. 500 phone, which was a revolution in India’s Telecom History, was this man’s step to getting a phone in every Indian’s hands.

The exploitative raj of players then was broken by Reliance by launching varied plans, which set up new benchmarks in India. Today, we see Reliance reaching out to every nook and corner of India and the dream being realised as we read this post. We Salute this man and his contibution to the market through his dream.

Thanking Him…

Being connected to the Internet through your mobile phone is a great idea, especially when you are on the move or away from home. Operators have tried to pull in many users based on this proposition and have managed o succeed. What we did was a comparative study of the operators providing such service to users.

Note: This study is done as per the rates applicable in Mumbai circle.

Airtel Mobile Office:

This service comes for a flat fee of Rs.399 and provides 100 MB of free surfing.

Trump GPRS:

The operator offers a choice when it comes to choosing a service. Here are the choices.

Orkut is a great place to find your friends and lost ones. But this Social Networking Site is becoming a hub for other things too. Take for instance a community, which sells cool numbers for amounts ranging from as low as Rs.300 to not so affordable amounts of Rs.8000. The numbers that are up for sale are quite interesting, some of which are 999 555 4433, 9895 880 880, etc.

With about 150 plus members, people with good numbers are lining up to auction them off. So if you are one of those who want to flaunt mobile numbers, this is the place to be. Go grab your number.

After Google launching the SMS based search service a few days back, it is Yahoo India who follows the same suit. The search results are retrieved in the form of SMS so anyone without a GPRS connection can also use the search service.

A user has to send the query to 58242. Eg: “iPod” to 58242.

Seeing the potential of SMS-based services, Google India has launched Google Search on SMS for mobile users who does not have an internet enabled phone. Users trying to search something must send their search queries (for instance, “weather Mumbai”) to 54664 (5GOOG). Not so good news for the users would be that searching on Google via SMS would cost you premium SMS charges.

Currently, it is being offered by select operators – Aircel, Airtel, BPL, BSNL, Reliance.
