How to Activate GPRS on BSNL mobile connection
Simply send SMS saying :
GPRSPRE to 53733
You will receive a confirmation message saying that your request will be processed in 24 hours. Now wait and soon your GPRS will be activated on BSNL Mobile.
Just to add here, there is no activation fee as well as no rental for GPRS usage however, you will be charged as per usage. They charge 5 Paisa per 10 kb. So, after activating, make sure you are using it accordingly or you will get all your money used up if you heavily used GPRS.
Also in most of the area, BSNL do not have EDGE enabled network hence on BSNL GPRS don't expect speed more than 48 kilobits per second ie. this is what a normal GPRS can give you . However, if BSNL network you belong to have EDGE and also your phone is EDGE enabled then you may get speed upto 284 kbits.

Ya, BSNL GPRS is cheapest, in prepaid it costs around Rs. 230 per month and in Postpaid it is as BHVM already said.. Rs. 199 per month /Unlimited usage.

Companies have learnt a way to cheat people under Unfair "fair use policy" that puts a cap on Unlimited plans too!!

Ricky,
Thanks, Can you confirm that This plan is available for Maharastra-Pune circle?
I did'nt even see the link for maharastra on their site.
Re: TIP: How to activate BSNL GPRS on Prepaid mobile connection
Here is link to Maharashtra Circle:

Btw, they have not mentioned Unlimited plan for any circle on their site, I guess it available everywhere. You can confirm this with any local mobile vendors / place where you buy / recharge mobiles.
