For computers without mini pci card slot, you can go 3G with the USB modems available from Micromax who incidently are also the official partners of bsnl/mtnl to provide 3G modems; it costs abt 3.5K in meerut; whereas i got the above sierra card for just 1.5k from hong kong through ebay.com... they shud seriously think of lowering the costs for mass penetration...

happy new year to all my dear friends on rimweb....

Here are some images of the WWAN Modem and how its attached to the Dell Studio 15/17 -

Edit : I will not hijack this topic anymore and we may move our WWAN/3G discussions here - Let this topic remain for Reliance Netconnect Broadband. Moderators may please transfer the required posts I have reported to the new topic.

Update 3.0: Well my BSNL 3G is operational. here is the speed test result - So that means its equivalent to a 512 Kbps broadband connection. Not the 2-3MBps we were hoping. But its bound to increase in the future as its just launched this month. I paid 60/- for the prepaid sim and another 120/- in which I got 20/- Talktime and 6GB of Free Download for a month (1 GB in the day and 5 GB in the night (11-7)). Rest its rate is 1p per 10KB that works out to be 1Re. per MB.

Nokia is selling outdated overpriced stuff... Is liye maine to bhaiya Nokia ko NO KIYA...

@kalpak ALL WILL BE WELL..... Jai Mata Di...

its possible to use broadband with it, but only tata as of now; they hv introduced plan of 28/- per day + 50p/MB...

Update 2.0: I have taken Aircel prepaid connection with unlimited gprs for 98/- per month!!!!! Total cost 198 (TT 110 free + 98 gprs); Activated & Connected immediately; download speeds were 130Kbps; initially the connection was dropping, but became stable by night end; tested for abt 2 hours continuous use; also have taken 3G Bsnl sim today; Total cost 180 (60 for sim + 120 first recharge will give me Total 6GB free in first month (1GB in day + 5GB in night 11-7)) but as we all know bsnl, it will take 2 days to activate....lol

OK Guys, Good News.... Hero can also be used with esn based ruim cards; no need to change to meid based ruim cards... solution for esn based is now available....

it seems like a good basic phone; good option from the lg's/nokia's of yore....

^ These cards are now standard the world over; no netbook/notebook comes without them; their speeds range from 3.6 MBps (like this model) to 7.2MBps; only in India they are not as standard. Your notebook should have provision to install these cards, only then can you use them; Most newer notebooks have the provision; Its a PCI card and goes into the mini PCI Slot on the laptop. I opened the back cover which gave me access to the hard didk, ram, Wireless Lan card, Bluetooth Card and one slot was empty for WWAN; In this WWAN slot this mini pci card was installed. The SIM slot in such notebooks is also provisioned for which provide support to attach WWAN card. It was below the battery in my case (Dell Studio 15); I just pushed in the card, attached on screw to fasten it, attached the antenna cable (also already provisioned for), closed the back cover, installed the sim, installed the drivers and 3G watcher program(which I had already downloaded) and voila u have internet on the move on ur laptop....

^ Grt; I am also on Sierra MC8775 mini pci card; kindly elaborate tariff rates, speeds u r getting (Test it www.speedtest.net ) and apn settings....

Update 1.0: changed sim from RGSM to Idea and voila.... no internet drops; settings came automatically; stable 20KBps connection; RGSM s**ks (hetal, r u listening... lol); typing this from Idea connection on my Dell Studio 15... BUT golly my jolly... I was charged nearly 60/- for a half hour browsing session... so its back to bsnl unlimited plan for the time being...

Got my Sierra 3G Card; tested for a while on Reliance GSM sim; internet working fine except I was facing problem that it was disconnecting every 1 minute or so on apn rcomnet; maybe some settings problem; will update after using bsnl 2g/3g sim...
