I had a similar fiasco with MTNL Dolphin where I could not suppress this urge to try GPRS. In the end they had no coverage in my area, they "activated" it without telling me, they sent me the bills (2 months late usually) . I called up and asked them to turn it off. 2 months later I find they guy who lied to me that GPRS was off and he bloody disconnected the phone. I get more bills after which I am asked to go to their mecca "Prabhadevi" to settle this. The guy there says I need to pay his insane bills before they disconnect my line. So now I have no alternative, to go the Screw you, you can KMA 6 months and a registered letter for corrected bills down the line, I haven't heard from them. I have switched to a Orange Prepaid and am paranoid of telephone companies.
Hehe. I had a lot of arguments with MTNL when I converted my prepaid to post paid a few months ago. I went in for their "plan-g". For 3 months I got bills for Rs.220 only and now all of a sudden I got a bill for Rs.872! I complained to them but there wasn't much I could do. So I told them to activate the itemized billing. Lets see what happens...
Bottom Line: Go in for pre-paid services of MTNL. They are good. DONT go in for metered or post paid services.
