20 min. celluelar data connection for a quarter? What service provider in India does that?

I say this out of experience with real 3G networks. I have used the Nokia 6650 on an unloaded network with the very same Xten Lite software and the user experience was pretty bad. Average latency was 277 ms with nary any packet loss. Care to share your experiences on latency and user experience?

So yes it is a CDMA connection not edge. the latency was not the greatest but it was not the most awful. i am not sure about the pricing elsewhere, but in india, the price per minute on phone calls is about 2 cents a minute and data is cheaper.

I hooked it up to my Dishnet DSL connection at home in GK-I and the performance was brilliant. I was able to make and receive phone calls with 100% clarity and very little delay. Very cool!

Have you tried Skype with this connection ? I use their data service – and have had amazing clarity when i use Skype(not always – i must admit, still its pretty good) to talk to clients and friends in the US. And this gives me amazing mobility – have made calls from airports, auto-rickshaws and cabs too ! No charge as well – except the data charges which are fairly nominal !!

A bit of a novice question from a newbie here.
I am planning to go to India next month. I can sign up for Vonage here in Canada, and also understand that you used Reliance G Tran card for Internet.
What else would I require and how would it actually work,
Thanks

Shri
