Free GPRS finally

Competition has this effect, though this was late. I was wondering as to how Reliance can do it and not the other service providers. I now have a free GPRS connection. No rentals and Re 1/10 kbps. Now I want the handsets to improve. Though I have Nokia 6670, I want better display size and innovative still intuitive (mostly when we target the former "i" we loose out on the later "i") webpages.

Heck I want http to swallow GPRS. Most things become easy then.

Free GPRS! That's cool.

Sounds like great news!
So free GPRS means you can browse the web from your phone without any problems? Or is there any catch?

>Heck I want http to swallow GPRS. Most things become easy then.
Absolutely! Add to that some DNS-equivalent, and there will be no more dialing some random 4 digit number to access any service.

@Pramod: "Or is there any catch?"

Hmm. No. Just free browsing. I have tried this before. The only change now being the monthly rental of Rs 49/- which I don't need to pay now. The rest is the same.

I didn't quite get this .. ?
