    Vodoafone tells us that internet browsing is free with BB 599 Plan but they have put a charge of 500 Rs extra with 599 Plan in my bill.

    They do not have any explanation and say you may have used streaming or your browser may have got connected to Vodafone Live.

    Vodafone is a cheat.

    Sanjay Bafna :

    SP :
    Airtel offered me 299/- per month for unmilimted on postpaid

    Airtel Plan 299 is limited to Unlimited Email and IM, with that plan Internet Browsing is restricted so not good in-compare to the above new plans by Vodafone.
    you can check the Airtel Plan details here http://telecomtalk.info/blackberry-services-now-on-airtel-prepaid/8480/
    I hope the same plan will be launched by Airtel and other operators soon.

    Airtel must follow this because on the bases of subscriber base, these only are hard competitor. Airtel always launched perfect plan for data but now a very claver and good move by vodafone.

    I Used Airtel BB Plan in Prepaid at just Rs. 299 with Instant messaging and Internet browsing.
    While they are providing only instant messaging only with Rs 299 Plan.
    But after 10 days browsing goes too slow, even after waiting 5 minutes, web page was opening. Finally I move to MTNL Blackberry.

    Thats the cheapest BB plan available around (if it actually provides unlimited internet browsing)

    currently vodafone is charging Rs.1099 for BIS unlimited on postpaid plans. and its only Rs.399 for prepaid users. i hate the fact that all operators are neglecting postpaid users :(

    Vodafone is known for their expensive GPRS plans. Above is the perfect example of that.
