Bypassing desktop browsing censorship when using mobile only data plans

Some cellphone carriers restrict users from desktop web-browsing on low value data plans and when trying to access any website from computer they are blocked and something similar to following is shown instead of loading the webpage.

Access Blocked on desktop By Aircel GPRS

To get this working you will need to spoof your User-agent string to some mobile browser like iPhone and this can be done easily using free addons for Firefox and Chrome web-browsers :
