Hello Readers,
How are you ?
Today in this post I am going to tell you about various Grameenphone / GP internet packages. Personally, I am a regular internet user ! I love to use internet through my mobile phone and I am using this EDGE service from the operator first launched their internet services, (may be 2005 or 2006, that time the GP operator gave the users free internet using facility for one month). You know, I have faced some technical problems when I got a new Handset in my hand.
When in at the end of 2006, my uncle gave me a Nokia N70, I was in my home village. When I got the device in my hand, I need to activate a fair packages so I needed to compare of all the internet using packages by GP. At the beginning when I used to search, I needed too surf lots of sites for my desired information's. The N70 was the one of my handheld devices that I have used a lot of Internet MB (Megabytes), I can remember, in 2006 during the EID-UL-AZHA vacation, I have used the maximum amount of internet Megabytes from my GP SIM in 24 hours (two scratch cards, 300tk and 50tk, total 350 taka in one day !).
What did I do using internet through mobile ? !
