September 2012 : EVDO Data Tariffs Comparison Chart

Follow Us

If you consider a dongle based wireless broadband services, CDMA operators will be your first choice in India. CDMA operators were the first to offer true Wireless Mobile Broadband before 3G/HSPA landed in India.




Using EVDO rev A ( 3.1 Mbps downlink and 1.8Mbps uplink) over 800 MHz spectrum CDMA operators - Reliance (Netconnect), Tata Tele (Photon+),  MTS India (Mblaze) and BSNL all offer EVDO based HSD data services in India. 

 We have summarized all the EVDO tairff plans offered by above operators in the form of fact sheets. CDMA - EVDO is offered over 800 MHz enjoys better indoor coverage than GSM's 3G/HSPA which is deployed over 2100 MHz.

But CDMA operators are not keen to offer EVDO based data services to their mobile phone users, as a result their high speed data offering is mostly limited to data card subscribers.

Let's check the comparison of EVDO data tariffs:

** Comparison table is based on mostly prepaid plans. Plans can be changed without prior notice as operators change them. Some plans are not available in all circles.

From the table you can understand that BSNL has fewer options, but only BSNL offers True Unlimited plans (Home and Roam), while MTS has widest data plans for its MBlaze customers, which may confuse the customers. Reliance and Tata have more or less similar plans.
