I found out this stupid trick in Hutch GPRS billing software which can allow you to login for free.

When you have connected yourself to hutch GPRS, at the time of logging out do not disconnect but remove battery of your mobile. This way your cellfone will all of a sudden go black and their software will not bill you for the usage. Do not switchoff!! just remove the battery.



I have tried it for atleast a month now and it is working fine

Thanks for sharing the tip. Are you sure it is working without getting billed for it? Enjoy the free ride while it lasts!!

You really are prolific

Are you sure you dont get billed, because almost all service providers have work arounds for the "removing the battery" trick. People used to this on calls some time back, so all the providers, upgraded to "time used" method instead of "time end - time start".
I have never verified with gprs. But I recommend that you call up customer care and innocently ask for your balance to be confirmed saying that you are unable to check it yourself becuase of some made up problem. Sometimes they will not let your balance go below zero and will instead debit your next recharge.
