Mobile Broadband SIM
Hi there, I'm new here in the forum, I got some question for old timers here especially Mobile Broadband users of QTel. They had this Plan 100 for 1GB, Plan 200 for 3GB and Plan 300 for 5GB. I am just curious on which Plan is suitable for a user like me who uses messenger service, social network and youtube a lot. And how does it actually works? Will that means my download capability is only up to 1GB per month
if I am a Plan 100 user? What will happen if I download more?
every character (letter) you send or receive is a byte, you need to double or triple that amount to account for extra data transmitted (formatting, ...etc.)
you also need to make sure none of these are working:
Windows Update
Any Other Update
Those obnoxious Messages from RealPlayer or Quicktime or Messenger
These use megabytes!!!!
thanks for the rep! =) it was really helpful and informative. got further question though. how much bits (shall i say kilobytes) consumed on chatting, say continuously in hour? i use to hang out on forums as well, will this kind of short message be equivalent to one plain-text email sent as described by Qtel?
As you said you use messenger, Youtube blah blah.. you will end up paying more than 2K/month (that too on the average)
For a user like yourself better stick to ADSL connection, if you can. Other than this just use the mobile broadband for really necessary stuff because you will be charged for all your chatting (sent & received messages), video streaming (download & upload)....rest if you love to pay your hard earned money to Qtel.. GO FOR IT with your regular use!!
Never Ask for a SMILE..just GIVE it..
You will pay QR 1/MB (QR 1000 for every exta GB!!!!!)
I'll only think of using it if they remove the bandwidth limits.
Roaming is also very expensive.
