I purchased an Aircel sim of Rs. 60/- only because of its pocket internet facility for Rs.98/- and low roaming charges( I belong to Uttarakhand and presently in Delhi and roam between both of the mentioned places)

but i feel Aircel's network is the biggest failure, network is congested, with gprs(its prime facility) is failing. cant connect to gprs or airtel edge9mobile to pc internet)
