@sagar: Aircel Peek is priced at Rs. 2999.
Have purchased a Peek, used it only briefly and found the service rather faulty and came here looking for betrer help service and the comments here are splendid, so I want to use this service. I will obtain a gmail address as soon as I can as that sounds like a better deal also. Perhaps my old MSN account is not as cmpatible as it should be.
How will I pay for service. I do not use my regular credit cards directly on the net but have Bank Guaranteed Gift Card. Also will be glad to telephone a card OR mail you a check if you will provide a mailing address . . .for several months at the rate of $7 per month for whatever you require as a startup fee.
