Hi
My family lives in Ankleshwar(Gujarat).I have purchased 3G dongle for internet before I came to US for my family. I would like to chat with them using Skype. Let me tell you that they (my family) have been trying to connect internet for last one month but it gets unplugged with in 5 to 10 minutes. It may work if we have laptop so we can go where network is. Very funny BSNL!!!
DO not buy useless so called 3G service from BSNL if you are in Ankleshwar and plan to use it in your home desktop PC.
Hi,
I purchased BSNL 3G in Nov-2010 – Terracom USB Stick.
There are serious performance issues with this service. I also do have a Tata VSNL Broadband connection. I did some test using “tracert” command available in windows.
The result is that It takes considerable time even to establish a connection with the nearest tower. where as it is is 25ms with vsnl. Presently It might work for a few minutes and simply stops working. This service is useless for any serious work such online trading etc.
Oh, Sorry, forgot to mention the location.
It is cochin city and well withing their 3g service area as per their instruction.
Hi,
I purchased T-MOBILE HUAWAIE to be used for
BDNL 3G.
It gets connected when used in compaqe laptop I am able to browse only for a minute or two and then it gets connected.Mobile instrument has been checked
by BSNL mechanics. They it is ok. I have changed sim cards 3 times (three different Mobile Net nos.) There is no improvement. It is prepaid. As such I am not investing further. Any body can help and solve this problem.
I use a reliance-data card and had similar issues. u need to disable the antivirus on ur system. works without disruption. the service has its own antivirus so swithing-off the antivirus is safe.

Will you please let the public know how to activate GPRS 3G plan in 3G Prepaid Card ( not data card )? Your customer care told me to send message “DATA601” TO 53733 TO GET 3GB DATA FOR 3 MONTHS IN A 3G PREPAID CARD ( NOT DATA CARD ). If this is correct why not you make the public know this? I was also told to send message “DATA252” to get one month validity 1GB data to 53733. But this information is not available in your website. How do you expect public to avail your services without letting them know how to avail such service?
