MTS Launches MBlaze Internet Data Service In India
MTS has recently launched MBlaze, an internet data service in about 26 cities. To avail these services, you can choose between two options: MBlaze Standard (Rs. 2999 for the data card that has 2GB inbuilt memory, provides speed upto 3.1 mbps, upload speed upto 1.8 mbps) or the Premium (Rs. 3499 for all the above plus a micro SD slot).
Free Browsing On Specific Sites
Till December 31, 2009, you can browse Yahoo India, Wikipedia and MakeMyTrip.com websites for free. For browsing other sites, you need to pay a nominal charge of 10 paise per MB.
Free Browsing Worth Rs. 1500
It’s a prepaid connection and you have nearly a dozen plans to choose from. Just go to this page and choose your region to check them out. They’re also offering Rs. 1500 worth of free surfing at the moment as an introductory offer.
Good enough?
What do you think, people? The site-specific free browsing offer is great, but who’s gonna be using those sites often? I rarely go to Yahoo! India and I’m not a big businessman to check out MakeMyTrip.com now and then either so that’s not gonna lure me away from current Reliance NetConnect (however crappy it may be, though).
The plans aren’t a big deal and aren’t groundbreaking either. Pricing strategy is same, just like other operators charge these days for their mobile data card plans but I’ll be more than happy to switch in case I hear them providing better coverage and promised speeds.

Friends Friends Friends !!! Please Dont go for MTS Mblaze
data card. they are fake. believe me.
I am one of the victim.
Here my story —–
I ordered this device on 13 feb 2010.
The Agent came to my told address at the same day with the
device.
He showed me this device and showed me the full network after
connecting to my laptop.
He assured me of gettting at least 1600 kbps speed and 600
kbps downloading speed.
I bought this device that day only and this agent told me to
provide with the bill next day at any cost , he promised me
earth and I believed him and till now he did not come to give
me the bill.
ok this was it till that time now lets go ahead I started
using it. only for one day the speed came fine and after that
till today I am getting browsing speed approximately not more
than 150 kbps and downloading speed not more tham 20kbps. what
the heck. some times even the GOOGLE home page takes 10
seconds to open. and GMAIL takes not less then 50 to 60 sec to
load with the chat window.
after all this the worst part comes … this device
automatically gets disconnected after every 30 mins or so and
then to connect it further there is no way but you have to
restart the computer. then only you can connect it further but
after 30 minutes it will again get disconnected and you must
follow the same procedure again. You will get totally
frustrated with this thing.
Now the last hope is Customer care. I called them but see what
happened. they promised me that they will get it resolved as
soon as possible and till now I got no response from them as i
never talked to them.
This is my story guys. I don’t want this to happen with you
people. So don’t buy mts mblaze data card. even if they
promise earth to you.
Thanks
