My friend had one of the basic plans, in the last two months he got a b'band bill of 5k+, so on 1st he rang up & asked to be shifted to the 999 [lan, he was told 'from next month'. He replied in that case he wont use it for one month 😢 hey presto he got a call that evening that it was shifted to the 999 plan 😀. What a llucky guy.
 
they said the plan is 999 UL but i am not sure if must start downloading like hell cuz they said from next month. what to do ?????

should i start downloading or wait till next month O_O ???
If your service page shows your new plan and they have confirmed it by calling you, then you should be fine. My only word of caution for those who change MTNL plans is this. On the day of the change you can't be sure. So for that day only, assume the lower usage plan is in operation.
From the next day onwards you should be fine.
They charge on pro-rata basis but you cannot be sure which plan they will have in operation on the day when the change occurs. I also suggest that you print out the session usage details at the end of the month when you did the change and make your own calculation and compare with the MTNL bill.
 
so im starting my dwnloads from today. 2 days after plan change now. so i should be fine. thnx for solving my confusion.
you might help me in solving my other questions...

in above image that is my services page showing i am having unlimited plan.



in the image above i have taken screenshot of usage summary. Can u explain me what those numbers mean???



above is the session history. Actually i have downloaded more than 600 MBs but its showign 310 MBs....
will they bill me as per unlimited plan or as per the old sht plan?! i am really nervous.

This screen is important. Save it in case you need to fight later. It means that you have been on the unlimited plan from Jan 3rd. Now the only ambiguity here is about the usage on Jan 3rd itself. You will have to accept that days usage against the old plan (with new limits) if that is how they take it when billing you. Your bill will have two components:
a. The rental which will be 2 or 3 days on your old plan and the remaining 28 or 29 days at the 999 rate.
b. The actual usage of 2 or 3 days which will be taken against your free limit against your old plan proportionate to the number of days. The extra will be charged at Re 1 per MB.

I think this info is probably wrong. They are probably still struggling to get all their calculations in line with the new plans. I do not know what your old plan was.

This is also an important record for you to keep till the next bill.
I don't know what was your old plan. Let us assume it was the DSL 399 plan for which you get 1 GB since Jan 1. Let us also assume that you were on this plan on 3rd Jan also.
MTNL will charge you rent (399+50)x3/31 + 999x28/31
Your free usage for 3 days will be 1024x3/31 MB while your actual usage is about 120 MB higher. So you will be charged Rs 120 for that.
The calculation will change a little if they consider you were on the new plan on 3rd Jan. It may be a bit higher as the rent is certainly higher while your average usage on the first two days was more.
 
yup i was on DSL 399. So now no need to worry right??? i started downloading now.

go ahead and enjoy my friend.
as i said before, there is still a chance that they will muck up your billing because of lack of synch between operations and accounts but don't worry about it. it will be simple to resolve the issue if it does occur.
so keep those screen shots i told you about.
 
yea thanx dude...i have kept those screenshots. Already downloaded more than 1.7GB 😛
 
Can somebody help me calculating my bill...as I changed my plan on 6 from NU849 to 256UL
