Sourav May 25, 2012 at 1:29 pm
Bought an aircel dongle huawei e1750c. Will move to gurgaon next week. Can someone tel me how is aircel 3g in delhi ncr region. I heard aircel didn’t have 3g license in ncr. Does it mean my investment goes waste? Would need to unlock the dongle then. Anyone with experience in unlocking aircel huawei e1750c dongle? Does aircel have 3g tie up in ncr? Will the unlimited packs work there?
Sahil May 24, 2012 at 6:35 pm
i rec a msg today from vodafone that your call charges are revised now talk v – to any mobile in india at 1.3 p/sec and LL at 2p/sec. i think idea and voda have increased their call rates. moreover 200 rs plan which gave free 900 local min now only gives 500 min.
sunil kushwaha May 24, 2012 at 4:12 pm
i have huawei K4505 which supports 28.8 Mbps download speed and purchased from a dealer an amounting to Rs 2750 in Sept,2011. working well for me with airtel, vodafone , reliance, idea, bsnl and mtnl sim cards. u can buy from Quikr site.
bharathkumara May 24, 2012 at 2:50 pm
even u can connect the 3G in u r own state, if idea, airtel and vodafone, if anyone 3g presents in u r state, they are already giving roaming in that state, go and check it guys.. i will bet u, it will work..
bharathkumara May 24, 2012 at 2:41 pm

Zeeshan May 24, 2012 at 12:41 pm
I am using Alcatel one touch X220. It is working fine. you may also go for micromax or huawei. All are available in flipkart.com @Sourav
Sourav May 24, 2012 at 11:43 am
Thanks sunil and zeeshan. Please suggest the best unlocked 3g dongles that work with all network. Personal experience appreciated.
Zeeshan May 24, 2012 at 11:25 am
You can buy unlocked dongles through flipkart.com.@Sourav
sunil kushwaha May 24, 2012 at 11:02 am
hi saurabh,
yes, there are so many unlocked 3G data card available in the market everywhere, u can use it with various service providers.
manu May 24, 2012 at 10:46 am
Vodafone is offering 3G Internet Plans @ comfortable price & its 3G speed is much better than other network…
Sourav May 24, 2012 at 9:27 am
Thanks a lot for the help
I have one more doubt. Say I go for mtnl 3g. Then I need to buy their sim card and data card (jadoo or something). Suppose later I am dissatisfied with mtnl and want to shift to another operator, the mtnl dongle I bought is rendered useless and I need to buy a new dongle from new operator. Is there some way to avoid this? Is there any dongle that suports all operators? Someone please, throw some light on this. I don’t want to invest 1..5k on a dongle only to discard it in two months.
help u May 23, 2012 at 8:49 pm
are u from other planet ? lol
Rajive Borde May 23, 2012 at 7:56 pm
Improve ur telecom knowledge or read telecomtalk daily, MTNL/BSNL having pan-india 3G spectrum/licence and idea just in few circles. Don’t spread rummers.
akhilesh May 23, 2012 at 7:47 pm
Idea have highest 3g Covrage in india more than bsnl/mtnl
akhilesh May 23, 2012 at 7:45 pm
All 3G avelevel here
but only Vodafone 3G Unavlevel here
vodafone avoiding for 3G servise’s
to upeast custmore’s
so its still useless if it is @ free of cost
Zeeshan May 23, 2012 at 5:53 pm
Go for MTNL. Please note no operator other than BSNL and MTNL can provide you PAN INDIA 3G coverage on which you can avail your 3G packs. Even you can not avail your pack while in roaming on Airtel’s network even if your are customer of Airtel. Go for MTNL/BSNL.@Sourav
Zeeshan May 23, 2012 at 5:46 pm
And after merger of MTNL with BSNL there will be no confusion. By the way all the 3G data packs of MTNL work on BSNL network through out INDIA. Kindly refer the post of 14th may of telecomtalk regarding new 3G packs of MTNL.@Sourav
Zeeshan May 23, 2012 at 5:39 pm
I am using MTNL prepaid connection for 3G in BHOPAL. All 3G packs of MTNL works here in bhopal using 3G network of BSNL. @rk

Hi abhay can u tell me how can have 2gb 3g data @201 recharge in my docomo card?

I am talking about 3g
@singh
novicefreak1 May 23, 2012 at 3:17 pm
Its announced now!!!
singh May 23, 2012 at 3:10 pm
in airtel data roaming(2G) is free.
rk May 23, 2012 at 2:03 pm
If you are on Postpaid then no extra charges. If on prepaid the 10p per 10KB. @Sudhakar
@Zeeshan
Sourav May 23, 2012 at 1:26 pm
Thanks a lot Sudhakar. But as Sunil has pointed out, I guess airtel is out of thereckoning as far as national roaming is concerned. Only bsnl, mtnl and aircel are left providing 3g on roaming with data packs allowed. This is sad as I currently use docomo 2g on mobile and all data packs are allowed to work seamlessly on roaming provided I am with home network
Asif samadhan May 23, 2012 at 1:22 pm
@Zeeshan
How possible 180 give unlimited 3g
sunil kushwaha May 23, 2012 at 12:26 pm
“Free data usage available in 3G data packs is not applicable while national and international roaming. Browsing charges of 3p/10KB will apply while roaming on airtel networks in India.”
yes, it is true, its on airtel site now, before that the data pack works in national roaming too with airtel network.
Sudhakar May 23, 2012 at 11:28 am
To Sourav,
In IDEA 3G, you will be charged Rs.0.10 per 10 kb in NATIONAL roaming even if you have enabled any data pack.
I think other operators do not charge extra during ON-NET NATIONAL ROAMING if you select the same home network’s name in roaming (for example : If you use Aircel of a home circle, you should choose AIRCEL network in the roaming location or else you will be charged extra). I am sure of this in the case of MTNL, BSNL, Airtel and Aircel.
Mahmood Junaid May 23, 2012 at 10:18 am
reliance and docomo will be thinking hardly before reducing 3g prices… because it will effect their EVDO broadband business…
Zeeshan May 23, 2012 at 10:18 am
ONLY MTNL. @Sourav
Harpreet May 23, 2012 at 8:52 am
I’m using unlimited 3G on Docomo @Rs.180/month. I’m not joking. Bas thoda jaa dimaag laayo. Balle Balle….
Sourav May 23, 2012 at 7:14 am
Guys, I will be moving to gurgaon in a week or two and from there might have to move all across the country. Please suggest the operator with best 3g netw ork in gurgaon. Does docomo 3g work in gurgaon. Also suggest the best pan india 3g provider as I will have to move about for a few months. Do the 3g packs work in roaming for all operators?
Shriram May 22, 2012 at 11:40 pm
now TATA DOCOMO gives 1GB 3G data in rs 90 validity 30 days. Ise sasta koi 3g he kya! MTNL is only in metros
shabir ahmad May 22, 2012 at 11:18 pm
Airtel and Vodafone increases call rates from
1.2 paisa/sec to 1.3paisa/sec here in jammu and kashmir
Amit May 22, 2012 at 10:15 pm
@Saptarshi Roy
nope. These operators were not fleecing the customers but they have no option but to reduce the rate drastically so as to cover their cost first which they paid excessively for the scarce 3G spectrum and more to develop the 3G infrastructure. Now these operators are hoping more people to switch to 3G by reducing rates.
sAM May 22, 2012 at 10:12 pm
@A Mohapatra
Yes absolutely.Not only in Orissa or Kolkata in many places I had seen that Reliance 3G is superior than others.Yes, may b their 2G is a crap but they r simply d best in case of 3G.Nowadays they r also improving in 2G also.
Upesh May 22, 2012 at 9:35 pm
Now it times for BSNL to show them you are cheaper than others , Place example of MTNL in front of you. if MTNl could do that in METROS for 3 crore of population then why cannot BSNL do for all india.
Abhay May 22, 2012 at 9:22 pm
Actually TATA DOCOMO has reduced its prices long back but for only on “trial basis” for prospective customers (Rs.201/2GB). Read this “Special 3G Offer! Recharge karein RC201 se aur payein 2GB 3G data 30 dino keliye. Offer keliye aaj hi recharge karein! Extra benefit recharge ke 48hrs mein”. So still Tata DOCOMO leads the race. If anyone tries TATA DOCOMO 3G once then he/she won’t be moving to other network/service providers. TATA DOCOMO rocks. But still tariff reductions in 3G data services is welcome decision.
kunal May 22, 2012 at 9:19 pm
Rightly said. Apart from idea none is serious in network
Manish Adhikari May 22, 2012 at 9:19 pm
True said Reliance 3G network is superb. Although it’s 2G speed and other offers are not so much promising…
But 3G network of Reliance is superb…….
Tharun George May 22, 2012 at 9:02 pm
Sorry I think BSNL first flagged off the “Affordable 3G Bandwagon”. But Was Rs 300 for 1GB. I think BSNL should price below Rs 250.
Tharun George May 22, 2012 at 8:59 pm
All thanks to Aircel who started the “Affordable 3G Bandwagon”.
Now its only left for Reliance and Docomo. Will Docomo 3G be more affordable as it always was with 2G packs?
Docomo is busy increasing data tariff and cutting full talktimes offer.
Prithvi May 22, 2012 at 8:54 pm
Not bad … are these applicable while roaming?
A Mohapatra May 22, 2012 at 7:56 pm
+1
Eagerly waiting coz R 3G has Best speeds in Odisha with super uploading speeds !
Kunal May 22, 2012 at 7:54 pm
Why is mtnl mumbai still lagging behind………
Saptarshi Roy May 22, 2012 at 7:41 pm
So these operators were fleecing customers till now!
Saurabh May 22, 2012 at 7:37 pm
It doesn’t matter whether Vodafone brings new packs or even provide 1GB for Rs.50 as their 3G network is still not available in more than 75-80% places in Haryana and this includes major cities also. Their expansion is too slow. Trust me, I have roamed through most of the parts in Haryana and it was hard to find Voda 3G network in most of towns. Idea has much better coverage as in every 20-30Kms of area you will find Idea 3G network. Some big villages also have Idea 3G coverage but not any other operator is there. Vodafone is just like BSNL and Tata Docomo in Haryana whose 3G network is restricted to District areas only. Shameless companies.
Bina service ke plan change karke kya hoga?
Amit May 22, 2012 at 7:17 pm
Yup agree with Mayur, speed is comparatively good as compared to Airtel and Idea.
mahesh May 22, 2012 at 7:10 pm
please tell me status of vodafone network in madhya pradesh
Mayur May 22, 2012 at 6:52 pm
Vodafone 3G service and sped is far better from airtel and reliance, good going vodafone… so Who’s next in the 3g price war ?? Reliance ?
ravin May 22, 2012 at 6:51 pm
Where is BSNL? Sleeping? Premium costs, crappy service.
vishal May 22, 2012 at 6:44 pm
as compare to idea and airtel yet 3g prices are high for vodafone .make it reduce to by airtel 3g price or equal to it
sAM May 22, 2012 at 5:58 pm
Now tym 4 d best 3G provider aka Reliance 2 cut down..
