Tata Docomo isn’t serious about GPRS yet!

I was obviously attracted to Tata Docomo because of their nice offers. Everything fine & good to make a switch for me, but only thing which is stopping from switching is GPRS/EDGE. Apparently Tata Docomo has not taken GPRS seriously at all. There are no flat rate plans for pre-paid customers. Docomo charges 1p/1kb which comes to 10.24 Rs a MB, which is 10 times more than what I am paying now! Right now I am on Vodafone Mobile Connect 499 plan with 500 MB of free usage, which is less than a rupee per MB.

Docomo has only one flat rate GPRS plan available only for post-paid users, for Rs.99 you get 100MB of usage. But there is no clear information on how much they charge for usage after that 100 MB. My assumption is they charge as per the usage after 100 MB, which is 1p/1kb. My average usage of GPRS per month is 200 MB. If I go for this postpaid plan, I pay 100 bucks for first 100MB, but, more than 1000 bucks for the next 100MB!!

So, the conclusion is, I can’t make the switch until they get serious about GPRS!

    Hey, why don’t u try Aircel if you need GPRS. I am using the unlimited plan ( just Rs.97 per month), the speed is also good. It also has 3 days unlimited plan for Rs. 14/-. For normal usage, AIRCEL charges 10ps/10kb. And I guess BSNL also has 5ps/10kb plan.

    Hi Prashanth
    Thanks for making this post.
    Thanks folks for the nice comments.

    Can you also let us all know the feedback about the GPRS speed and coverage of various operators?

    I’d certainly use the unlimited plan only, any other plan would be very expensive…. as these people charge for data in KBs which is very small amount of data.
    You encounter an image… and bang… there goes few rupees though it’s not your fault.
