Wireless data card india questions?

Question

i m travelling to Coimbatore from abroad, would stay for 15 days. I must need a wireless internet. I heard that airtel & reliance are the popular wireless data card providers.

1). Who has better coverage (Reliance or Airtel) in Coimbatore?

2). Is there any plan based on use, only for the few days when am there? Then can I hold the account and activate again when I go again? How does it work?

3). Can I get the connection sameday when I reach Coimbatore?

Thanks in advance for the inputs

Answer 1

My suggestion is slightly different from the question you are asking.

Buying a data card will cost you a couple of thousand rupees. Instead, if you have a GPRS supporting mobile phone with you, you can buy an airtel prepaid card, and enable GPRS in it. You can connect the phone to your computer and work on the internet. You can get a prepaid card for as low as 200 rupees,and in addition to having a wireless connection, you can also use it for calling people during the time you are here.

I dont know the answers to the particular questions you asked, but this is what i wud do if i were you.
