How to Activate Airtel GPRS in Karnataka.

Posted By: Santhosh | Nov 5th, 2009

airtel logo After a long time, Airtel has come back with yet another unlimited GPRS plan for users in Karnataka at quite expensive price tag. But the advantage is that, you can not just browse internet on your cellphone, but also on your computer. It comes handy to people who desperately need internet on the move.

Airtel has put two unlimited GPRS plans in front of you.

1. You can browse Unlimited Internet on you mobile/computer for a week at Rs. 99/-. To activate this, sms:

MO to 56122

2. You can get unlimited internet on daily rental basis at Rs. 20/- per day. TO activate this, sms:

MO to 56123

Save the settings that you receive after activating and start browsing. Simple! The second option is useful to people who need internet for a day or two when they are out of station or on a trip. And the first option will be useful to people who want internet for a week or two when they are on a long leave or when their primary ISP goes down.

To sum it up, these two plans are far better than the conventional 30ps/50kb plan. At the end of the day, it is still expensive considered to few other network providers like Aircel for instance, who give unlimited internet for 99 bucks per month. It’s their introductory offer, so can’t depend on it. However Airtel has given some sign of relief to it’s Karnataka users.
