MTS has recently launched MBlaze, an internet data service in about 26 cities. To avail these services, you can choose between two options: MBlaze Standard (Rs. 2999 for the data card that has 2GB inbuilt memory, provides speed upto 3.1 mbps, upload speed upto 1.8 mbps) or the Premium (Rs. 3499 for all the above plus a micro SD slot).
Free Browsing On Specific Sites
Till December 31, 2009, you can browse Yahoo India, Wikipedia and MakeMyTrip.com websites for free. For browsing other sites, you need to pay a nominal charge of 10 paise per MB.
Free Browsing Worth Rs. 1500
It’s a prepaid connection and you have nearly a dozen plans to choose from. Just go to this page and choose your region to check them out. They’re also offering Rs. 1500 worth of free surfing at the moment as an introductory offer.
Good enough?
What do you think, people? The site-specific free browsing offer is great, but who’s gonna be using those sites often? I rarely go to Yahoo! India and I’m not a big businessman to check out MakeMyTrip.com now and then either so that’s not gonna lure me away from current Reliance NetConnect (however crappy it may be, though).
The plans aren’t a big deal and aren’t groundbreaking either. Pricing strategy is same, just like other operators charge these days for their mobile data card plans but I’ll be more than happy to switch in case I hear them providing better coverage and promised speeds.
