There are three types of gprs service provided by Airtel. The first one is Airtel live which comes pre-activated with the sim and charge you for every page you browse, next is Airtel NOP(Net on Pack ) through which you can browse ion your phone at a monthly rental of Rs 100/- , and lastly Airtel Mobile Office which gives you unlimited browsing and download at monthly rental of around Rs 500/-. Though Airtel customer care tell you that you can not connect the NOP service using your desktop or laptops you can use your systems to browse the net. Here is a simple trick to use NOP from your windows.
