Thread: Data Card

Hi Folks, I am planning to buy a Data card, I am residing in South Delhi, Please suggest which is the best one in terms of speed, reliability and value of money..

I did an research on Plug to surf- Tata and Reliance and found Reliance one better. Please advice if you have anything better

Reliance data card is a very good option to go for, good connectivity, doesn't cost a lot (you get the data card free if you pay for a year upfront) and it also provides good service and the best thing speed is good. I dont think you will find any problems with the Reliance data card.

Hi,

I used Tata Indicom card without any problems before jumping onto Airtel BB. :surrender:

Are you actually talking about an Airtel data card or their home broadband band?

I mentioned about Airtel Broadband (BB).

ok... i just asked because i didnt understand the fact why someone would get a data card connection if they have a home broadband connection, thats unless they use laptop and are on the go!

Thanks for the information guys...i don't much about data cards...all i know is just buy the card....put it in the USB board and start surfing...Is that so???

Yeh thats right Manish, that all you do. But there are two options for using the data card, like you mentioned you can connect by putting it in the usb port, or either get the flat square type of data cards which can be inserted into the data cart slot, which is on some laptops.

But the USB option is widely available now and preferred by many people as it connects to any laptop or computer.

You got some idea about the price????

I heard after purchasing the card say it for 2500 you have do a monthly or quaterly recharge before you start surfing.......are unlimited usage/downloads plans available on these cards???

Please explain, I am seriously an alien to it

All i know is that you pay one year in adavnce which is about Rs10,000 and you get the data card free with that.
But if you decide to pay on a monthly basis you have to pay extra for the data card, but im not sure how much it is.

This information is for the Reliance data card, i am not sure what other providers charge, but i do reccomend getting the Reliance data card.

I will try to find out more information about the monthly plans and will post details later on.

Thanks
