Airtel officially lauched 4g in India today however, the 4g signal would only be available when the nearby towers and data centre are fully upgraded.

Vodafone, airtel, relience all are heading the same way as the Bsnl did from June 15th this after the Modi ji announcement of free roaming across India, it also include low cost sms on outgoing sms, Other network are just doing it with a different advertising flavor.

Relience Gsm New Data packs

2015-04-11T20:58:00.001+05:30

Relience is continuously launching new Data packs everyday for its prepaid user weather it is 2g or 3g, however mostly 2g/3g pack are mixed since reception of 3g is

not very strong in relience network of Rs 246/- Pack is recently launced with 1.5 Gb of pure 3g data but what you get is 2g edge at around 250kbps and surging up and down network. Though `1.5 gb is nothing if you are downloading but it can be something if you are using it wisely, and 2g and 3g switch making it last longer I guess. They are offering 3Mb per/Run of winning team instead of India this time, so you may get some extra data for 30 days at your disposal

Bsnl postpaid announces unlimited 240 and 340 scheme

2015-04-08T22:05:00.000+05:30

Bsnl has announced unlimited Rs240 and Rs340 plans where first plan is for whats app and other is for downloads. There is fair usage limit of 2GB and there after speed would drop.
A normal user usage around 2Gb of data in a month while the download limit is set quite low that also the plan is not available for prepaid. Where at same price you get higher data download. Here a night pack of 43 would fetch 800 Mb at full speed so a good plan should be around 5Gb and 8gb with the current price offered.
So think again before recharging

Relience 3001 free lifetime offer truth

2015-03-20T01:41:00.001+05:30

Let the lifetime offer valid for 2021 I don't think the USB won't last longer then year or two maybe three. Beside 1gb is way too low for serious browser leave alone downloaded. So this plan is not practical, however it's a CD's device and no change option there. The only good thing is it can be used as base plan. That's it

Pirated windows user get free licence

2015-03-20T01:34:00.001+05:30

If you are using windows operating system and is either licenced windows 7 or 8 users or worse pirates both have options to updated to windows 10 evolution copy now and auto free update to commercial version when released without paying anything. However what features are available would be a thing to see. For me I prefer sticking to Linux mint cinnamon which provide windows like environment free forever without nomination. But freedom has it's price and responsibility if you are ready you are always welcome to Linux community

Relience bihar @1gb at 74

2015-02-01T12:24:00.003+05:30

Relience have announced 74 rupees 3g pack for 10 days the problem is you get 2g speed only just like rupee daily pack. Even manually selecting 3g network is not working it's always 2g. You would wiser to choose 147,2g pack instead. The plan available in bihar Delhi and orissa so far. The relience 74 pack review is somewhat near to its counterpart of 177 where only difference is validity which is otherwise 15 days instead of ten. Other have these but a rupee higher or lower

bsnl gives 50 mb free

2015-01-13T13:36:00.001+05:30

Bsnl started giving away 50*mb data with regard every 100/= recharge. However the validity is for 5 days only. The data value is added to the existing data pack and consumed first. Know idea weather the data is available for other recharge or not. Bsnl dropped the bonus talk time and promoting it's 2g/3g data plan's which is more of 2g then 3g packs. Operator are more focused on promoting there useless low speed packs than providing true value pack. Bsnl packs are mostly low speed and are good for mobile
surfing only. Remember good thing don't come free....

Bsnl'scombovalidityvoucher

2014-12-06T15:28:00.001+05:30

Bsnl combo validity vouchers
Those have general plan under their prepaid have limited option when validity expires. You either recharge with rupee 36 or 38 plan which offers only one month validity and minutes or second plan as per your choice. However, with 96 rupees recharge you not only get a 365 days validity plus 50mb data to be used within 30 days period. So in fact you are paying 20 rupees for data/recharge and forget about hassle of recharge for a year.
You also have 1251,2200,3300 rupees recharge where you get monthly data of 750,1.5gb,and 25th data each month not carried
Over to next month. Last plan offers a data card also is available. This plan on is not available for non data sim that is if your sim did not exclusive for data when first purchased.

Idea announces 1000 Sms pack

Those time are gone when sms packs was cheap now the same is replaced by low quality sms pack with limitation of 100 Sms per day and low validty. Insiders knew sms cost nothing to networks. Anyway Idea introduced 1000 Sms pack for its prepaid user for rupees 41: which can be activated by dialing *150*41# with sufficiant balance in main account. If you are a heavy sms user going for this plan worthy as it also credit 10/- In main balance. Effective cost per sms 3p/ Sms

Idea bogus 3g plan on 152

2014-11-13T21:30:00.000+05:30

Be aware of ideas recently launched 152 pack which claims to give you 3g speed instead providing only 2g speed of 50 kbps per minute which means they are using their 2g network to sell their 3g packs.
Thankfully most of us are aware that idea is not licensed to sell 3g product in many state if you are on that list do not go for the idea plans in 3g section for example idea and voda is not authorised to sell 3g products in bihar but they promote their scheme in 3g. Any thing for the money baby.
So choose wisely....

Nokia 225 new but outdated review

Nokia 225 new but outdated review
We are on 3g enebled world and when so much option are available from android point of view where is the point of spending the 3200 INR for something which won't do much when you want The Nokia brand once popular has lost its flavour among masses because it fails on providing what the masses wants.
The current set may look good from outside. specially the 2,8 inch screen but the inbuilt features that what is counting the most. The nokia 225 though claims to be decent phone for basic need but again for a youngstar it does not hold much of a attraction leave alone mobile geeks who want more from there device. The nokia 225 donot have 3g capabilities, It does not have the power of battery It do not have a decent camera. 2MP is a thing of past when 3110 and 2700 sets ruled but now when android is the top of the story going for a set with limited feature dont make much sense, even as a basic phone it does not keep much talktime life considering the duel sim multimedia, gprs features in account.
Better option are Micromax power, or Nokia 530 which is around 5900 INR

Asus chromebook= Asus have its very own Pc with an Intel i7-4600U processor, Google chrome OS and Ssd storage, Its just 12x12 cm in Size and as high as 4 cm fits perfectly on the pocket without even feeling it.. Along with the portablity comes standard Duel Wi-fi support, Four USB 3.0 port, I don't know what you are going to do with all the those USB's. Blutooth 4.0 well how many device is currently Bluetooth compatible you tell me. And the usual SD card reader slot. Beside there is option of 3 SKU for varying Intel processor while only the Core porcess with the I chips have the UHD out resolution capabilies video through the chromebook display Port at 3840x2160 pixel. The challeging part is getting used to Chrome OS when You are mostly used to Windows environment. Well Are you ready enough
ASUS Vivo Pc= if you combine primium look and nice design i.e circular err.. some thing new in my sense you get the Asus Vivo Pc, Under the hood runs a Intel i5/i3 processor 16 Gb DDR3 RAM with 1TB HDD or 256 SSD Intel 4000 HD graphic and usual IO port you can think of beside wiegh around 1.2 kg and have a above average inbuilt speaker for you listening speakers. Conclusion if you are going for the look of the system then this is the best bet at the time of writing this post

Gigabyte BRIX PC= BRIX pc comes with two discrete graphic card to choose from between AMD Radeon R( m275 or the nvideia GE force GTX 760 however you don't expect them to be as powerfull as desktop version you would be wrong, portablity has its limitation too. The hardware support full blown resolution output 2160x4098@ 30Hz refresh cycle. The main part all this graphic card make this device above all device hitting the shelf on the market,

Apple Mac Mini= Apple is well know for this type device and is with us for around two decade now and if you are with them you would be much wrong either. Beside support and service you are also getting top quality brand name . Anyway being the slimmest and easily upgradeble device has a upcoming update on its card anytime now. Since its not upgraded since 2012. This has a Mac OS and probably the cheapest so far. Apple Mac Mini has duel boot ability with Windows and hosts of connectivity option its worth considering while going for a One.

ZOTAC ZBOX O spher OI520
On the first look it look like amalgamation of a spehere and cube yep, This baby is attractive slim and a glowing ring around it, not only being a beauty its also as powerfull as it look, have 3 USB 3 .0 and two USB 2.0 port, also include the gigabyte ethernet port, one HDMI port and One port for the Display.

How to setup data connection in lunix

most of us are on windows but most of us is also pirate who don't own a legal software licence from windows which is around 6,000 to `11500 INR for a home to retail version of Windows 7 or 8.1. So many of us are looking for a alternative and have switch to lunix Mint a similar flavour to WIndows.
The only problem is you have to be learner to know the work arond there. Specially the internet connectivity issue as there is no modem menu and you have to use the system menu in the system tray and configure the thing to your need.
In lunix mint or ubantu you can install the auto connection wizard but the first time you have select your mobile broadband then country then carrier and save it to make it available for you from system tray next time you connect your usb dongle in your system.
Please not that the default apn may not work so try to get the default apn from your network provider
