Airtel GPRS – it is quite good.

Next week I will be traveling to Calcutta to my in-laws place. Apartment Adda is live and I need to keep monitoring the servers, reply to support emails etc. and I cannot afford to be cut off. Also going to a cyber cafe is not an option – I am paranoid of key stroke loggers and what nots.

I did quite some research – USB cards, data access card – which were quite expensive for the 1 week access that I needed. Finally ended up trying Airtel GPRS. The speed is dial up – as advertised. My site loads up fast and I am able to SSH. That is all I will need.

You need a data cable for your phone – so you can use your phone as a modem. Then send the message “MO” to 6123 – this is a week plan for Rs 140 – unlimited usage. And when you want to stop the service send the message “MO CNCL” to 222. Simple isn’t it?

Also with the frequent power cuts I am facing – probably I will go for the 1 month plan – 100MB for 350Rs or so.

Thanks AR Rahman for the tune and Airtel for your awesome service.
