Din 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2007 New website dedicated to BSNL ! I just completed it. Please have a look - http://bsnldatacard.com Before you press the 'report' or 'delete' button .. There are no banners, no google ads and no referral links. There is no commercial / business / personal interest behind this website. I found the BSNL data card to be useful and affordable, so thought I will help others by providing the details based on my experience. Please leave your comments/suugestions/criticism either here in the thread or in the website. Thank you all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honest 836 Report post Posted August 27, 2007 @din Good work my dear friend. Although the site is unofficial but it consists nearly all the know-how of BSNL data card. The only con in BSNL data card is that we can't use it in Desktops. As you yourself stated in the website that their is no guarantee, if it can work in desktops. Hope that BSNL should come up with a USB modem like Reliance also. Regards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HetalDP 947 Report post Posted August 28, 2007 See this link below which says Unlimited Internet @ Rs. 250 a Month http://bsnl.in/newsdetailed.php?news_id=370 But the Link http://bsnldatacard.com/ says Rs. 400 / Month for Unlimited Internet ??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
commonman 228 Report post Posted August 28, 2007 (edited) @Din In your site u have indicated that the card is T-sim enabled. Is BSNL providing RUIM/T-sim based connection? If yes can you please check if the same SIM provided by BSNL can be used to with a SIM based CDMA handset (with modem) / Modem to access the net. If its successful then various USB options can be available. @hetaldp Rs. 250 is for internet only. but i think u need also to have a voice plan activated. So, Rs.400 is possibly includes with the voice rental. Edited August 28, 2007 by commonman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Honest 836 Report post Posted August 28, 2007 ^^^ My dear friends, I think the rental difference is because of the type of data card available with BSNL. Rs.250/- is for normal 144 kbps card and Rs.400/- is for EVDO card which provide you the speeds upto 2mbps. But still I'm not confirmed. Can someone throw some light on this ? Regards.

Din 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2007 Thank you for your comments and sugestions friends @Shaikhsadik You are right, but when there is no other options (like broadband etc), this one is good as speed is ok kinda and rates are good too. Hope BSNL will launch EVDO soon. @Honest PCI-to-PCMCIA adpater - it may work, but that is not guranteed. From my experience, it didn't work, but thats not the final word and it may work. @commonman Sure, I will check it and will post details. @hetaldp Rs.250 is for unlimited internet (data plan). Rs.150 is voice (data plan) and it is not optional, and min voice rental is Rss.150. That is how the total comes to Rs.400. Also, if you prefer to use the data card on rental basis, it will be Rs.550 (Rs.150 as rental) total but it still worth if good coverage is there as Tata and Reliance charge Rs.1500+ tax for the same. @Honest No, that is the rate for the 144 kbps thing. EVDO is on the way, not launched yet. The rate for EVDO may not be the same. I will keep you updated if I get any more info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
