    I doubt that would be a problem, no foul play in doing that.

    Um It really wasn't I only made one OPINION (WHICH IS ALL YOU CAN GET FROM A FORUM). Anyway I cant give you a straight forward answer because I obviously don't know all their rules and regulations. Email mturk and find out, since you're looking for some kind of expertise answer.

    NO problem at all.

    I Turk from my mobile, laptop, and PC, all having different net connections.

    P.S: When you connect to internet through your mobile GPRS, you are assigned a different IP, each time. Its called dynamic IP.

    Yes, even I do use my mobile and laptop having different ISP to turk, so there shouldn't be any problem. I believe there are many people in this forum too who turk from home as well as work, having different service providers. I think mturk is fine with it. We aren't breaking any rules in doing so.

    Which GPRS connection were you using? I have both Aircel 97 and Idea 2G for 1 month.
    I thought you made all this 20000 using broadband....:)

    EWWWW... Docomo sucks worse than any other connection in Kerala.

    I mostly use Idea 2G in this.

    Actually, I bought this Huawei modem separately. And I'm very glad to declare that I was able to buy this from the money I earned from the first month of my turking. :D

    aircel - Rs. 97 unlimited , idea - Rs. 15 (3 days 500 MB) .
    and I bought the modem from Flipkart for 1800 bucks. :)

    Ya, I've used both 2G and 3G. But the 3G signal is very meager. Speeds vary b/w 100 to 200 KBps. Aircel has 3G only in very few spots in Kerala. I have Idea 3G full range, though.
