Mobiles..........

Because of the price war between telephone operators the services are getting more cheaper these days , I remember the time , precisely 2'nd year of my engg, cellphones were new to us & incoming was 3 Rs/min , only few rich parents allowed their kids the mobile phones, Mr Belsare i really enjoyed your classes when few people would start the ringtones & you were all puzzled whats going on?. Nokia 3310 was the best phone at that time, even you had that simplest mobile with just snake game in it, you were in the elite group, We used to get in queue to play SNAKE ion that in our hostel. Things changes drastically when Reliance jumped into the market & incoming became free, Color screen handsets were the new craze .If you had a flap you were something at that time & the, all cool features came like bluetooth, GPRS, GPS, EDGE(Still not fully activated yet..)
Airtel used to charge 20 Rs/Day for the SADIAL speed. Now most of the networks are 3G ready so GPRS rates are down by a huge margin, 1 MB/1 Rs. I just experienced the TATA DOCOMO GRRS , its really worth , speed you get is 460 KBPS, which is pretty fine compared to other network standards. If you are using the Internet for only mail, blogs,search then definitely go for the GPRS packs from the operators. I hope these will come down as EDGE will give speed upto 3 GBPS, normal GPRS rates has to to come down significantly once its in fully ready stage.
