Well, you might have read about the test I conducted earlier and reviewed Aircel’s Pocket Internet Plan .
Today I did give another try to test the speed of Aircel Pocket Internet, surprisingly it gave speeds ranging from 47 kbps to 100kbps !!
http://speedtest.net didn’t open as I mentioned earlier, but I was able to check the speed with http://2wire.com .
So, the conclusion is for 98 Rs, Aircel Pocket Internet isn’t a bad option to be used as a backup internet or for light weight browsing / checking mails etc.
I connected my SE K750i to PC over bluetooth, dialled *99***3# (since Airtel Pocket Internet is the third profile on phone) , used a proxy address – 192.168.35.201 with port 8081 , I browsed few web pages to see the performance.
I have used Tata Indicom’s 64 kbps internet connection (worth over 400 Rs per month) , compared to that 98 Rs is a very much better option.
I can recommend this connection to students, job seekers etc who can browse unlimited but not for downloading any huge files. I tried downloading a 10 MB file, which took close to 25 minutes, isn’t very bad either.

Hi Gaurav,
The funda of putting 1,2,3 is that
You will have multiple profiles in your phone, stored at 1st, 2nd and third … on your phone. When you check the profiles you can see them listed. So if pocket internet is at the top most in the list, its 1. On second spot, 2 etc.
This is how we dial the correct profile from the PC.
