Which is a bit costly but i can use web anywhere in india with my iphone.You can find the &lt;a href=&quot;http://cellone.in/cellone_msp.htm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;bsnl gprs settings here&lt;/a&gt;.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;But when many comments are there people have to search for my replies this way they will get the answer below the comment.&lt;/blockquote&gt;There are threaded comment plugins available for WP, search for them, they&#039;ll solve your problem. Or you can install WP Comment Remix which will include twitter like reply option, so in your reply comment there will be a link to the comment to which you are replying! And with that you can also reply from the admin screen without having to go to the post page to reply! :)&lt;strong&gt;Reply from Prasanth&lt;/strong&gt;Thank you for all the effort you have put in in suggesting other alternatives to editing comments. but as i said its a habit thing and the way i like to respond, and its doesn&#039;t depened on any other plug ins that might or might not work in future recking my comments. So its just trying to keep it simple and useful.Thanks for all the effort.thank youprasanthhttp://www.prasanthtechblog.com</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Since you mentioned mtnl provides a data plan that works even when roaming, i would like to get that but MTNL only provides accounts to users in Mumbai. So its nice if you are in that city.&lt;/blockquote&gt;MTNL has been operating in Delhi for ages! :) But yeah, right now only Delhi &amp; Mumbai has MTNL while for other places there&#039;s BSNL both of which complement each other.Btw, Airtel &amp; Vodafone don&#039;t give you unlimited data plan if you take it with iPhone. What if you have an unlocked one &amp; get an unlimited usage plan from them without telling them its gonna be used on an iPhone? I think it should work then!Btw, its your blog &amp; how you handle things is entirely up to you but I&#039;d recommend that you post replies as your own comment instead of editing others&#039; comments &amp; putting a reply there since that will come off as rude to a lot of people that you are editing their comments(even if you don&#039;t actually change the content of comment &amp; just add your reply at the end). Just thought I&#039;d point it to ya, a friendly suggestion. :)&lt;strong&gt;Reply from Prasanth&lt;/strong&gt;unlocked iphones work on airtel but then why waste money buying iphone at that cost and lose warranty by unlocking. i have used iphone on airtel with a data card sim and it works. But my iphone i bought it unlocked and its not 3G. i don&#039;t know if they block the unlocked 3G iphones.All i was trying to tell there was these companies don&#039;t offer unlimited as their default plan for iphone.About MTNL its only for those two cities outside it you have to rely on BSNL. I was talking about major provider that have network all over India. Same problem with IDEA, AIRCELL etc they don&#039;t work all the places.I edit the comments because sometimes people leave their mobile numbers and emails in comments so i edit them out. All the comments go on the site only after i authorize them. i allow comments with out my replies, but most of the time they are asking me some questions so its a better way to answer to the question like this rather than making another comment.Making comment to reply to comment is fine if only one comment is on the page. But when many comments are there people have to search for my replies this way they will get the answer below the comment. Which is a lot more useful rather than reading a page full of question before you get to my answer. And i also get to thank the reader for their comment etc. i like replying to all the comments so its easier too.And by the way all my replies are clearly marked with &lt;strong&gt;Reply from Prasanth&lt;/strong&gt;thank youprasanthhttp://www.prasanthtechblog.com</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Bsnl are the only providers who give unlimited data plan at the moment.&lt;/blockquote&gt;A wise man called Kabir once said that one should watch what one&#039;s saying! Wouldn&#039;t it have been great had you confirmed what you are wrote before you wrote it on a whim? :)Not meaning to be rude, just letting you know how wrong you are. I&#039;ve an unlimited usage &amp; download/upload data connection from MTNL on my mobile for about 2 years now for which I pay a flat Rs.349+taxes. Similarly, I also have an Idea connection with same kind of unlimited data plan for which I pay Rs.315+taxes. Airtel sometime back started offering unlimited data plan for about Rs.500+taxes. Last time I checked, Vodafone didn&#039;t have any unlimited plan. I know about just these service providers, maybe some other might also be providing unlimited usage, its no big deal nowadays.So there you are with your statement that only BSNL provides unlimited usage, eh! ;)Btw, you have to pay charges as per usage even on BSNL network in roaming? If yes then that sucks! My MTNL mobile goes to BSNL network on roaming &amp; I&#039;ve never paid a dime extra apart from the flat monthly fee for data usage, roaming charges only on voice call &amp; text messages. :)&lt;strong&gt;Reply from Prasanth&lt;/strong&gt;Thank you for pointing out other providers who are giving unlimited data access.i should have pointed it out that bsnl offers the only unlimited plan at cheapest price point. And also that works with iphone. Both airtel and vodafone are the official providers of iphone in India and they don&#039;t give unlimited data access. You have to choose special plans for iphone which have no unlimited data.I pay only 199 Rs + taxes for unlimited data usage and pay as per usage while roaming.Since you mentioned mtnl provides a data plan that works even when roaming, i would like to get that but MTNL only provides accounts to users in Mumbai. So its nice if you are in that city.The main providers i was talking about are the one that work all over India like Airtel, Reliance, Hutch. None of them have unlimited data plan even if they have just started they are not as cheap as bsnl.hope that make it clear why i wrote that linethank youprasanthhttp://www.prasanthtechblog.com</description>
