@avinash, Yes any of MTNL Dolphin users can activate the 3G service on their existing sim or mobile number, To activate the 3G service, call 1503 from dolphin mobile number.If you want to connect the computer with 3G than use Data Card or mobile phone with data cable.

I agreed Altaf with this comment, if MTNL waived off this activation charges then they will get better response from his loyal esteemed subscribers. Currently they invested lots of fund for 3G Infrastructure but yet they are not getting response/ revenue as per their plan. If they waived off the same for limited period they will definitely get response from othr ops subscribers also. MTNL team you need to think on this very deeply.
