Finally after almost year and a half, Airtel has come up with two new “affordable” GPRS plans in Karnataka (No idea in other states). The two new plans are like this:

Recharge with Rs. 19 – You get 200 MB of usage for 3 Days.
Recharge with Rs 98. – You get 2 GB of usage for a month.

These plans are really worth for people who are thirsty for Internet on the move. Since this is “Mobile Office” and not “Airtel Online”, you can browse internet even on your laptop or desktop with your phone connected as a modem. These two plans are good enough for people who require internet on the move just to send and receive emails and to browse a little. And for those who want internet on their mobile phones, its more then enough to waste the bandwidth on whatever they would like to do.

Just to check, I first opted for 3 days plan, and I was really happy with the speed on the phone. But when connected to PC, it’s not enough for browsing heavy sites. For emails, its okay. And now I’ve activated the 98 bucks plan and am really happy to have affordable internet on the move once again. Hope airtel not to discontinue this plan again for heaven’s sake.

Ever since companies, organizations and music bands found out that they can engage more audience/customers on twitter, we all are being spied! For instance, if you tweet something about a “Samsung mobile phone”, there is chance for “Samsung mobiles” to follow you on twitter. This is possible coz they search out for the term “Samsung” or whatever and twitter gives out a whole list of people tweeting about “Samsung”. And added to that, twitter has“real-time” results. Psst!

So what’s the point of this post?

Recently, on the new year day, I tweeted “M.I.A – Paper Planes (Cold Blank Remix) sucks!” and on the following day, I got a reply from Cold Blank, “you suck!”

Hahaha! So think before you say “sucks” to any music bands or companies. Hehe.
