I don't have much time for TV. When I do watch it I'm usually watching BBC World or in the rare event that I'm relaxing, something on Discovery, National Geographic, History, Documentary, Travel, Food or Lifestyle channels. If I feel the need to catch up on an episode of some sitcom I'll either use the new TVNZ on Demand or iSky (assuming said program has been broadcast in NZ) or I'll download it.

Hey start watchin Dexter You wld luv it,Prison Break is not that gr8..Dexter FTW \m/

Well you could have just bared through this period, instead of switching. In the long run, MTNL is way better.


Zagg Discount Codes

Posted: 25 Feb 2011 02:07 AM PST

well this is not the first time i have ordered zagg.

i had ordered it twice for my previous phone N1.

the first time? i did not order the liquid (it was sold separately). made a mess during the installation. sheer wastage.

the second time was much better. ordered the liquid and it made the installation process much easy.

i think now they including the spray thingy with the skin as it is no longer on sale separately.

both the time on my previous orders it landed just fine. time taken was long but it arrived fine.

this time i have now waited for around 50 days. and no result. so i asked them to resend it. fortunately they only asked for some minor charges (5 dollars) instead of the whole payment. in the end, the product itself has no real value :D its just plastic film and soap water. :D

as for the quality... zagg is most likely just rebranded 3M manufactured film. and almost all the other companies probably use the same. zagg has a brand so they can charge a premium for it. some other brands charge around the same. small companies do not.

a couple of folks on the forum have had decent experience with the not so famous brands... you can even try out buying a skin from here AMZER® - Products :: Chargers, Skins, Cases, Cradles, Headset, Keyboard for a trial.

MTNL 3G on iPhone 4 - Settings & Performance

Posted: 25 Feb 2011 01:37 AM PST

Some good news!

MTNL Mumbai Data enquiry is no longer charged @Rs.2 per SMS, it's FREE as of 24/02/2011! Order was passed last evening.

Been fighting for this for a month; glad that I could change something.

You can also check your voice balance by typing *444# on you phones.

The fight against speed capping and CLI number formatting continues.

Note: some new numbers may be getting error messages when SMSing 444; MTNL is aware of the problem and is working to fix that... something to do with delayed profile creation on their systems.

@amish,

Everything seems to be working normally to me. Try using their public DNS (8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4) - It reduced my ping times to Google from 300 to 60 and it considerably fastens my browsing experience on all Google services. (except Youtube and the others)

I need to edit my own sentence, I meant 10 Mbit for 2k is quite good actually, My point is I am thinking 10mbit with unlimited and hope not to get battered with f***ing usage policy! ( can u believe all operators are saying its TRAI's rule, heard that 2 times in 2 days;while inconvo with 2 ISP's , I wanna read that "Rule".)

I've never read any rule of there being a fair-usage policy either. I guess the customer support people are just saying what they're told to say, whether it's true or not.

Our fair usage policy is something along the lines of "don't abuse the network" - and if you do, we'll set the customers who you've affected on you :P

i guess they don't offer data transfer plans..all the plans are unlimited and particularly in chembur these plans are very cheap.(me not from chembur but heard from other users) Dc is a LAN affair so no bandwidth consumption.:)

LnB Needs Replacement to get all HD Channels

Posted: 24 Feb 2011 07:49 PM PST

Fyi, the LnB needs to be replaced to receive all the HD channels from DishTV. They are doing this free. I am yet to get my replacement though I requested it 4 days back.
Also the package seems to have changed and cost has gone up. There are now 2 packs - Starter Pack - which was 100 earlier is now 125. There are 15 channels in the starter pack now as compared to 4 earlier and there are another 15 channels in another ala carte pack for an additional 100. Very pricey. Will work out to 600 a month.

Shifting from Aircel to MTNL 3G in Delhi - Need Reviews, Coverage Details, Actual Customer Stories

Posted: 24 Feb 2011 11:43 AM PST

I am testing the speeds by using Nokia E51 as a modem. I connected the phone to my laptop via USB cable. The speed I got is around 380kbps download and 300kbps upload. I have laptop with Windows 7.

Will the speed be higher if I use any 3G modem rather than using phone as a modem?


MTNL DataCard on an Unlocked BSNL 3G Modem

Posted: 24 Feb 2011 11:26 AM PST

Hi guys,

I bought a BSNL 3G modem with relevant datacard (i.e. SIM card) in Jaipur.

However, now I've shifted to Delhi and want to use the same modem, but plug in a MTNL datacard.

I had a couple of questions:

a) Is it actually possible to use MTNL sim with BSNL modem? The guy I bought it from said that the modem is 'unlocked'

b) Is MTNL a good option in Delhi? How are Reliance and Tata Indicom?

c) Do companies even sell data cards individually without the modem?

Thanks in advance guys for whatever inputs you can give me

Experience with Reliance 3G

Posted: 24 Feb 2011 04:36 AM PST

-Go for any unlocked modem, it will support 3G from all operators.
-Yeah, Reliance is selling its 21 mbps modem for around 4.5k, it is unlocked so can be used with any operator sim, but too costly while comparing to Huawei UMG 1831 for <=3000rs & k4505 for somewhere b/w 3.5k to 4 k . U can check that in some other threads.
-U r in delhi so yes MTNL is having promotional offer similar to earlier BSNL offer. In MTNL, u can get unlimited data @ 4500rs/6month effectively for 750 rs/month. ( with a 200GB/month soft Fair Usage Policy which they say will choose whether to apply or not).
But before u wanna go for MTNL, plz do check coverage & speed in ur particular area before going for any big recharge.

Decent plans.. u can't expect to get unlimited on 3G ..
3GB is somewht lower but 5GB in Rs.1500 would be a good deal for 3G .. I am sure price will come down once there is some competition ..
