@plan
Dear Sir,
MTNL Delhi introduced Half Yearly Data Plan @ 4500/- for 200 GB for six month validity. Is it for mobile only or will work for pc also without any problem continously.
Abhishek September 6, 2012 at 6:01 pm
Hi:
I have a small query here, how does the rate of 2p/10KB apply to prepaid connections. If i recharge with lets say 175 Rs, i will get 1GB of 3G Speed and once that is over my balance is over (just like in normal phone) and i will not be able to use the connection.
The charge of 2p/10KB etc makes sense for post-paid, but not sure how it makes sense for prepaid customer.
Kavita January 3, 2013 at 11:40 am
Dear Abhi, This is the trap laid by all operators and I was victim like many others. Your assumption that once your 1GB quota is over your are disconnected a big NO, you still will access to internet and it is charged at 2p/10KBetc. Horrible thing is you will not be notified when you 1GB quota is over and new charge per KB started. If you are in the middle of download and finish quota within minutes your phone main balance will become ZERO after deduction of data charges at this high rate 2p/10KB=200p/1000KB=Rs2/1MB=Rs2000/1GB, very steep increase which is ridiculous but we have live with it. I complained but no use. They simply say they have no provision to inform.

I want to share one experience about MTNL: In my house MTNL 2G signal is good (full bar on my data card) but 3G signal has got not a singal bar but was stable. For many days I didn’t recharged for 3G data as I thought that I would waste money but then today I tried to take chance for Rs 42, recharged and amazed to get 1.15 Mbps speed. I will see this for three days and then will recharge for a month & then half yearly or yearly plan.
GAURAV August 23, 2012 at 3:44 pm
Great! but when in Mumbai.
MTNL always rockks!
Rajiv D August 20, 2012 at 2:59 pm
Pls launch the same plan for Mumbai
Mukesh Singh August 20, 2012 at 7:54 am
MTNL’s yearly and half yearly 3g plans r really value for money and tension free 3g
Mukesh Singh August 20, 2012 at 7:53 am
MTNL providing 3G speed 2Mbps to 2.8Mbps not bad at this price and no worry while roaming because home and roam same charges and any data plan can work well across india.
Mukesh Singh August 20, 2012 at 7:51 am
MTNL Rocks
shashi ranjan bhushan August 19, 2012 at 11:49 am
in roming sometimes it gives good speed and sometimes lower speed than 2g
Sachin August 18, 2012 at 1:44 pm
use 7.2 mbps data card i am getting 2.5-3.0 with 50% signals @Newton Biswas
Bharat August 15, 2012 at 12:11 pm
Use in UMTS / 3G Mode speed will be good and will not fluctuate
Newton Biswas August 14, 2012 at 9:45 pm
Speed is always fluctuating, you cannot even download 100 in one full month @sandeep
MAHENDRA August 14, 2012 at 9:41 pm
@Younus
no roaming charges on data but roaming charge on voice call is all local and incoming call is rs 1 per minute and all std calls are rs 1.5 per minute.
Newton Biswas August 14, 2012 at 9:30 pm
I never got 3.1 mbps even on 95% signal. Whenever I test the speed its always between 1.1 to 1.5 mbps. Once I recharged with 1650 for unlimited usage. But due to the heavy fluctuation of the speeds I managed to download only 60 GB.
Abhay August 14, 2012 at 8:20 pm
@Ramesh Darji
Dear Mr. Ramesh,
Its still possible to have 1GB for Rs.31.00 for TATA DOCOMO. Only difference is that now paying from balance is permitted only once a week for same denomination. Therefore atmost one can have only this arrangement only for once a week. You please check while recharing online. You try second recharge of Rs.246 after 7-8 days then definitely you will get it. ALSO WUD LIKE TO INFORM you that you should only click the link “online recharge” and proceed through that link. The link under 3G prepay plans will never allow one to pay from balance.
Keshav Jha August 14, 2012 at 3:10 pm
Superb plans by MTNL. MTNL is now incomparable in 3G data.
plan August 14, 2012 at 2:51 pm
Hats off MTNL . . . Really awesome plans.
Un comparable 1 year plan.
Rs:5000 = 100 gb + year
¤ 5000/12 = 416.66
It means monthly
Rs: 416.6
¤ for Rs:416.6 customer getting 8.33 gb per month.
¤ it means for every one Gb of 3g data customer is paying only Rs: 50.12
¤really cool plans boss ¤
Manish August 14, 2012 at 2:49 pm

Saheb August 14, 2012 at 2:11 pm

Adil August 14, 2012 at 1:27 pm
@Esmail
Hey how do you Recharge you’re mtnl Delhi Sim ?
Pratik August 14, 2012 at 12:22 pm
“3G Data charges will be 2p/10KB.”
Currently 3G Data charge is 1ps/12kB. The real purpose of this plan is to migrate customer from 1ps/12KB to 2ps/10KB.
Raj August 14, 2012 at 11:25 am
MTNL data speed is pretty good but the voice network needs a lot of improvement….
Been using it for the last 6 months network is not stable in entire mumbai….
But when you get signal the 3g speed is amazing
kunal August 14, 2012 at 11:24 am
Just switchd
from 2g to 3g in mumbai. gettin average speeds upto 2.8 mbps. though indoor coverage at lower levels is a little bit issue. but overall good.
Tharun George August 14, 2012 at 11:16 am
Bravo good move. BSNL should follow.
Nirakar Panda August 14, 2012 at 10:10 am
Thats a Good News! Hope BSNL will follow this decision and bring again some good announcements.
Raj August 14, 2012 at 9:40 am
@Younus
No. MTNL and BSNL management and LSA is diffrent so it be roaming for Calls(IC & OG). But no roaming for data.
Esmail August 14, 2012 at 8:55 am
You can use MTNL sim anywhere in the country including Bangalore, without roaming charges but only for Data not for voice calls or text messages. I have been using Delhi circle SIM in Mumbai MTNL network for 3G data plan for the past few months, average download speed I get is 2.3Mbps and upload spead is 0.3Mbps. You can use it on BSNL network pan India. MTNL Delhi does not block torrent sites like MTNL Mumbai does, and it also has an attractive 6 month 3G data plan that Mumbai lacks.
Asit Paul August 14, 2012 at 8:08 am
Why cant we expect similar plans from BSNL as well as MTNL Mumbai?
kamlesh mehta August 14, 2012 at 7:53 am
on MTNL 3G getting 2Mbps to 2.6Mbps, best and value for money and with above Delhi plans i guess MTNL is cheapest 3G opertaor in the country.
Is there any operator which providing 1GB for Rs.175/30Days 3G data ?
MTNL’s main benefits that we can use all 3G plans anywhere in India with BSNL network without any roaming chanrges, thats awesome.
Ajay August 14, 2012 at 6:46 am
First improve the speed of HSDPA+ in both the MTNL circle.
Younus August 14, 2012 at 5:10 am
Hello every one will you please clarify one question.
If i get a MTNL SIM can i use it in BANGALORE ? With out roaming charges on CALLS and DATA?
Younus August 14, 2012 at 5:01 am
Hey reader will you please clarify.
If i get MTNL sim, can i use it in Bangalore ? With out any roaming charges for cal and data?
Esmail August 14, 2012 at 12:47 am
@Sanjay Bafna,The yearly and half yearly plans mentioned in the article are the older data plans which have now been revised, the Yearly plan of Rs.5000 now gives 100GB data instead of 60GB and the half yearly plan which was of Rs.4999 is now of Rs.4500 and it gives 200GB instead of 100GB. kindly update.
sandeep August 13, 2012 at 11:53 pm
what does it mean by TRUE UNLIMITED on 1650/pm ?
as cc told me that you will get 200 gb on that recharge than how can it will be true unlimited?
Ramesh Darji August 13, 2012 at 11:25 pm
In Previous post of Tata docomo I had mentioned that Docomo 1GB 3G can be effectively available @ Rs. 30 but that is no more possible now. Intially someone has to recharge with 246 where 219 talktime available and by recharging Rs. 4 one can get 1GB data.
Intially own balance can be used for recharge, so e.g you have 219 balance from first recharge. Again recharge with Rs. 35-40 so main balance is 250. Now recharge with 246 and pay from main balance, so talktime 219 and 1GB 3G data was available but tata docomo walk up finally and stoped service of paying from main balance.
Sourav August 13, 2012 at 11:24 pm
HOW IS MTNL NETWORK BHAAILOG? YOUR EXPERIENCES PLEASE……
Ramesh Darji August 13, 2012 at 11:21 pm
3G data war started. Today trio offering 1GB 2G data @ 100 and now 3G 1GB @ 175. MTNL rocking and good strategy but BSNL is sleeping, though MTNL plan can be used in BSNL network, but is not realizing this.
Amit Deb Biswas August 13, 2012 at 11:21 pm
nice plan ..
akhilesh August 13, 2012 at 11:06 pm
all opraters Providing avrege plan rate
250Rs/1GB/30
MTNL 175rs/1gb/30days
is good move
but Make Sure Network Quality IS Not Down
Bcoz In Bsnl Current bsnl 3G network IS Not able to provide
speed more than 8kB/s= 64kbps
on orignal Bsnl 3g Sim + data card+ 3Gplan
So in upe bsnl giving same speed in 2g & 3g plan
Tushar Gaikwad August 13, 2012 at 11:01 pm
Good move by MTNL…..Hope BSNL follows suit !!
