I have a question about using the iPhone 4S on BSNL.
I have a SIM with the prepaid General plan. I have used a rate cutter STV of Rs. 33 to avail the Rs. 1.49/min ISD to USA for 30 days. With respect to data usage, I understand this is normally 2 paise/10kb.
The question is, is it possible for me to use the Rs. 250 STV to get 1.25 Gb data for 30 days without affecting any of the existing validity and rates on my SIM? Or, the data STVs mentioned above are for pure data only SIM?
Thanks in advance for the answer!
