Zero Rental GPRS

on August 24, 2006 – 11:20 am12 Comments

Airtel and Hutch are coming up with Zero Rental GPRS service as pointed out by Mobile Pundit.

Airtel Chennai offers a zero-rental GPRS service for its post-paid customers at pay-per-use rate of Re 1 per 100 kilobytes. Which works out to Rs 10 per 1MB.

Hutch is also planning to bring out something similar.

Its great news for those people who wish to try the service but not willing to shell out a monthly rental.

    What is new about this? Airtel already had a zero rental. Only Hutch has now waved it off. The charges are still the same ie., 10p/10kb. Still expensive! It should be something like 10p/50kb. Then there will be a lot more users willing to use the service.

    Varun – r u talking about GPRS or the other service (Like Hutch www) where u use ur cell fone as modem? The service u r talking about is when u use ur fone as moden and surf from ur PC or laptop. This one has a monthly rental but not GPRS which allows u to surf from ur cell fone!

    I have an Airtel postpaid CUG connection. Airtel offers a service that they title NOP(Net On Phone). This comes for a monthly charge of Rs.99. I can surf to my heart’s content, there is NO limit on surfing. You would inccur additional charges only when you try to download specific charged contents from mobile enable sites liek AirtelLive.com.
