    @Sanjay Bafna.
    BSNL 3G progress halt in Maharashtra or what??
    After Pune, Nashik,Raigad & Goa 3G launching, none of the new district,city has got 3G launching since last two months.. only test 3G network is showing in other area that also go off air always…
    When contacted Customer service center that when it will be launched in our area of Ulhasnagar,Ambernath, Badlapur commercially, then they will just give the answer that we don’t know….
    And also my Pune’s cousin has taken new 128KB 3G Sim for Rs. 20 with FRC of Rs. 120 but when he comes in Mumbai for offical purpose then from MTNL 3G network he can’t receive an incoming video call done by other 3G user while in UMTS Mumbai MTNL 3G network and further cannot access 3G enabled 3.1Mbps internet while in UMTS mode of MTNL 3G network.. Gives error as Packet Data Conection not available..
    But can access GPRS while in GSM mode that is in MTNL 2G network but that is too slow to access.
    So being an BSNL 3G card then why can’t he enjoy 3G benefits of Video calling & fast internet facility in MTNL Mumbai UMTS mode 3G network??
    When I contacted customer care on that issue they told that 3G roaming is not available in Mumbai & Delhi until yet as that area come under MTNL .. they told me that you can roam with 3G facility only in BSNL area that is all over India BSNL circles but expect Mumbai & Delhi as they don’t have 3G roaming tie-ups with them.
    So is it true that 3G roaming not available in MTNL network?? So can you confirmed for me from your side?? then I will provide my Cousins number to you for further reference..

    I am in Raigad Dist – In Raigad too only in Pen and one more place that’s all. Even their exchanges near to their HQ (New Panvel) does not have 3G ! According to PRO, REDUNDANT “FIVE YEAR” PLANS ARE AT WORK !

    BSNL 3G service expansion is like FILE MOVEMENT SPEED in govt offices… :-(

    BSNL is going to repeat the history again. We have seen in past BSNL poor Mobile service in City areas. They always claim better network in rural village as they can’t handle cities heavy traffic with best Telecom Infrastructure.

    No its not fully correct because just few days back i visited Bangalore and some near by places in Karnataka on everywhere i got 2.75 EDGE Network and some parts of Bangalore city i also got the 3G network,i used it.
    It might be true that in remote part and rural area of Karnataka still they has 2G as you said.
