Reliance Netconnect Activation Problem

[shuva_nandi 0]

Dear All...

Bought my ZTE Datacard from Borivli WebWorld today ... with a postpaid GSK ...

After installation, activated it with *228 .... and it said "Successful Activation" .... But unable to use any services on that number ... when calling from my cellphone it says "Plz Check the Number You have dialed" ...

*333 is saying that it will take 72 hours to activate ....

Can anyone throw any light on this?

Please Help.

regards,

Hi Shuvabrata,

That's strange. Your Card should have been activated within few hrs (3-4 hrs).

As for me...i purchased it in evening around 6.00pm, and it was activated

well within few hrs ( as the Web world guy told me ). By 9.00 pm i was

browsing Net.

I suspect that your New Connection application hasn't been loaded into by the

Web world into the System. or may be its being loaded but might be in Queue.

I remember, while was purchasing my Card...a guy came in there and was

complaining the Staff for not activating his connection for last 10 days. I talked

with that guy, and he told me that he was promised on activation done in few hrs.

He kept on complaining over the phone, and with no success... he had to visit the

Web world personally. Finally, the Staff told that they will asap! process their

connection application.... as they haven't loaded his connection request due to workload.

So, i suggest you to go again to the same web world,...and see if they have

loaded your application into their system or not. I had my connection application

loaded into their system before my eyes..only after that i left the web world, as

i wanted urgent connection.

May be this could help you....let us know.

ps : In other forum post ..we discussed abt PCMCIA card & USB modem. Can

you tell me..why you went for ZTE-PCMCIA card. Just curious to know

Thanks,

Bob

see if you are not able to do outgoing calls that means your *228 has not been done .

call on *228 again . listen what they say and post here . also after doing that quit application for 30 min . after that insert card and try calling local number . are you able to do outgoing local call or sms ?

these things will rule out one thing . your card activated or not ?

rest is simple setting

same as per my previous post

Hi Hitman,

As such there is no difference between the two. Only advantage USB-modem has

is that, it can used both on ur PC as well as Laptop. On the other hand PCMCIA can

be used only on ur laptop.

Let me know if you need any more info..

thanks,

Bob

My connection started the next day. As per Reliance there was some server problems at their end.

I went for PCMCIA, cause i was not too happy with USB as it involves a cable and i had pretty bad experiences with my cable.

And my laptop has PCMCIA and the card is bought looking at a lifetime of 2-3 years ...

Hence i went for it.

thanks

Hi Shuvabrata,

Good to hear ur connection is now ON. PCMCIA is also a good choice.

Just for ur information, the USB-Modem comes with 2 things inside the package :

1) Cable

2) USB connector

You're right ..its a mess using the Cable. I am using USB connector...which fits

in just like a PCMCIA card.

Please do post ur feedback on the Browsing speed.

Thanks,

Bob

Didn't know about the USB Connector part, that might have changed my decision.

Browsing speed is pathetic from 10-15 to 11-45 PM ... as i am using Freedom @ Night. I am getting between 8 kBps and 20 kBps. And the speed feels much slower than using my LG RD5130 ....

Any advice?
