TATA DOCOMO’s Unlimited EDGE, with limits?
TATA DOCOMO, a network that’s well known for its per-second pulse, rolled out its ‘Unlimited’ GPRS/EDGE packs a week back. Notice I’ve stressed the word ‘Unlimited’. The service was limited to only Prepaid users. The packs were
- Rs. 15 top up – Unlimited for 3 days
- Rs. 95 top up – Unlimited for 30 days
The plans look similar to the ones that Aircel have. Aircel has been offering the same for Rs. 14 and Rs.98 for 3 & 30 days respectively.
This was the message that was posted on TATA DOCOMO’s Official Twitter channel, @tatadocomo,
ok guys finally!!!! Unlimited GPRS is here :) Rs. 95 for 30 days and Rs. 15 for 3 days. No limits … come do the new!

UPDATE: The ‘source’ link redirects to a 404 page as Tata DOCOMO removed the twitter status message.
And now, their so-called ‘Unlimited’ plans have a limit of
- 20MB Data Transfer for the 3 day plan
- 100MB Data Transfer for the 30 day plan
The name ‘Unlimited Pack’ has been renamed to ‘GPRS Pack’. There has been no official intimation to the customers, except the official website that has put up the revised tariffs. TRAI(Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) says that a network shouldn’t roll back its tariff plan for a minimum period of 6 months, but sadly, this is a VAS. People who have shifted from other networks just for the sake of this internet have no other solution but to use this Internet with limits, or shift back to the old network. Is this what you call ‘Marketing Strategy’?
thatz clever marketing thinkin by sm cheap guy who enjoys free no limit gprs of DOCOMO
:P
Aircel Offers unlimited GPRS..but the connection is a bit too slow… DoCoMo is good…but anyday..Airtel is the best..when you need unlimited you have no choice by Aircel
Dear friends i want to tell u all that there is another company providing the same plans that is VODOFONE
with 16 u get 3 day unlimited
and with 98 u get 30 days unlimited internet
but problem is that the speed is very slow only at night after 12 the speed becomes 22 kbps i.e 22*8=176 kbps and
can anyone tell me what is the speed docomo provides
Docomo Avg speed 85 – 100 kbps
I use gprs bcz broad band plans only provide a little free data usage . The problem with tata docomo is the network coverage , it provies the cheapest plans . I cannot connect using diak up beacz . I dont have the settings . Iam getting 10kb/sec using opera mini
