@ spacescreamer
2G will do fine for your usage requirements. I am using Idea 100Mb pack for Rs.50/month. I aso have Wifi at home so downloading is done via that only.

Airtel 3G license cancelled in Kolkata. You might be facing a similar problem with your operator and area.

BSNL has cut the data limit of many 2G packs as well. 270 pack cut down to 5GB all the way from 10GB...

now the 300 pack seems more sensible as it offers 6gb data with 3 months validity

Looks to be the best 2G plan of all telecom providers. Surprising to find it from bsnl which acts like white elephant and does not bother about competition. Shall port my Airtel sim to bsnl now. Recently ported docomo sim to aircel for better 2G plan and calling rates but they seem to be the worst telco i have used so far. Raised plan charges too, nullifying benefits.[DOUBLEPOST=1370171382][/DOUBLEPOST]What was the validity of 270 rs plan giving 10GB earlier and 5GB now?

I don't know :( Maybe it varies from place to place.

Also, the offer showed a few days back, when I dialed *121# yesterday, the Rs 52 offer didnt show. But I still took a risk and recharged Rs 52 from PayTm. Thankfully after 3 hours a confirmation SMS came ( by then i already assumed i lost 52 rupees T_T )[DOUBLEPOST=1370635267][/DOUBLEPOST]You can SMS "MRP 52" to the toll free number 152, this will return what you will get if you recharge that amount. (SMSing MRP 222 will retrun an SMS saying "Full Talktime ..." )
