Thread: Idea netsetter

Anyone from western UP circle please tell me about the IDEA NETSETTER prepaid plan..

i want to know about its cost( of usb hardware) and the prepaid plans..

i have written to the customer care, but the response is quite confusing..

please someone help about this...

when i went to the shop, they asked me 2450/- for the data card, and 750 for ul scheme....


i want to know if the speed is ok, and if i dont recharge some month, than what will happen??

Don't go for idea netsetter . Their tariffs seems to be attractive , but performance is very poor. You will get a speed less than 10KBps.
