Well there are 2 types of CDMA cards currently offered by BSNL – CDMA 1X & EVDO.
It is recommended to go for EVDO provided EVDO enabled towers are avaialable in the locality in which you’ll use.With EVDO one can get practically upto 600kbps speed.CDMA 1X is only marginally better than GPRS.Also where no EVDO towers are available, you can operate the card in CDMA 1X mode.
With 3G data card you can get upto 2Mbps speed.

this is also a revenue earning step .. BSNL doesn’t care for its customers..The main agenda of bsnl officials is to help big GSM players.. thats why they are not launching cheaper plans like other private companies does.
It has biggest network. But its annual profit and the customer database prove everything wrong. it is in third position in customer database. Now this is the time govt. should starting disinvestment in bsnl.

Har jagah BSNL sirf topup ke hin option deta hai. Jaroorat to recharge ki bhi hoti hai. Recharge to dena hin chahiye.

confusing as you have to pay in US$, exchabnge rate can fluctuate. rates for bsnl are reasonable, but bad for airtel. also there is no indication of full talk time…

I went through the web site and in India, you can top up for Airtel, BSNL, Idea, Reliance and Tata Indicom numbers
You need to pay for top up amount in US $
The site explains the idea behind the service – for example children abroad can recharge the mobile numbers of their family members so that they can call them
