BSNL 3G

   Posted by: Pradeep    in Technology

As on this day - 27th may, India has only one 3G service provider - BSNL. I wanted to try my hands and experience how it feels to browse a 3G connection. It was utterly disappointing to see the speed that I could get. It is merely around 512kbps. Here is the speedtest.net snapshot.

Google introduces SMS search

   Posted by: Pradeep    in Technology

Google adds another feather to its cap with the introduction of SMS service called SMS search. To search and get results via SMS, send the keywords to the number 9-77-33-00000. To get to know the latest cricket score send relevant keyword such as “cricket” or “Cri” to 9-77-33-00000 and wait for the reply SMS with the result of the keywords. And another example… the user can send an SMS “restaurants indira nagar Bangalore” and have the list of restaurants in that area sent to him/her via the SMS service.

This service will be available across 34 cities in the country which will include Mumbai, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Kanpur, Chennai, Delhi and others. The service is currently available on both GSM and CDMA networks. Normal SMS rates apply according to the service package provided by the service provider.
