If you are looking for used set go for Nokia 2112 or 2280 and pay whatever the user asks for.

The phones are worth the money.

does lg 3540 have modem?

[kshah 452]

Even Samsung SCH 191 is worth. It had solid data connectivity.

[raccoon 53]

Why not the veteran RD 2030? One of the most reliable phones ever.

nokia 2112 is a ****ty phone

it has network issues , and in places of less coverage it will give u zero network

not only myself but everyone i know who had 2112 faced this issue.

[dkaile 1,051]

Yes, I found out that LG 3540 has a modem and works just brilliantly on net connect at 1100 bucks... what more do we want??

[konquerror 21]

^^^Can LG 3500 be used as modem? If yes, can you tell the settings etc...would be very helpful

[dkaile 1,051]

its the same series; may hv the same board; u cud give it a try; i used the micro usb cable of nokia (ca-101); then lg drivers or windows 7 cud download them automatically also; it shud detect it as a modem too; use generic dialer in w7 #777, mdn(username), mdn(password) use the Detected MOdem via Control Panel - Phones and Mode and u r good to go...

[konquerror 21]

^^^Well i tried....it gives error 692...says some problem with hardware...

[Hejmady 37]

As per attached Product-Note of <LG RD3540> there is no modem in this handset. I wonder how Netconnect works!

This phone supports netconnect? But according to the product catalogue it specifically mentions that this phone does not support Netconnect. I have attached the product catalogue for reference.

Handset cost in Bangalore is Rs. 1049/=

1) Netconnect setup is like creating any general dial-up connection with Reliance number as user name and password.

2) for LG 3540 use Nokia CA101 or any micro usb cable, cost from Rs 50 to 150 in local market.

3) google it !

Hmmm...

Well, I was trying to use this phone (LG3540) for some other purpose (finding meid/min of ruim) when I saw that it got detected as a USB Modem also when I installed the drivers. So I presumed it has some sort of hardware for modem on board. It is also showing as LG USB Modem in Device Manager. So it definitely has a modem.

Now when I tried to confirm that it is working as modem or not, I could NOT connect to it; Maybe its blocked, or needs some extra initialisation string settings... more research needed...

[aalok 442]

the lowest priced handset with Modem (R-Netconnect) enabled is LG RD6200 priced at Rs. 3415.00..

Buy the virgin mobile c5000 for about 1.6-2k, and unlock it. Very easy to unlock, just a 5-10 mins affair. Then use whatever card u want for net access! I am using Tata data RUIM in it for past many months. No hiccups whatsoever. Just keep in mind that these are not for heavy downloading, so keeping it on for full night will be harmful for the mobile. You can easily use it for day browsing.

I hear this a lot. But Nokia ruined 2112 quality in later years. My mom uses her 3-4 years 2112 daily, and it is still rock solid, with great coverage. Only battery is changed a month ago. Nokia really screwed up the quality of handsets later on.

Friends I m using Spice C810 on 1x 24x& nearly, it works fine...

Otherwise you may go for a net connect modem (USB DATA CARD) for any cdma here :
