now the iPAD recharges are available in BSNL portal site under " SPECIAL TARIFF VOUCHERS(STV)"

Is it? Its not displaying any recharge denominations for me. Tried a Chennai and Kerala SIM. Which circle are you in?

Oh i haven't verified before i posted.Its not displaying for me either.

Weird..it displays the iPAD prepaid plans for my 2G number and but i dont see anything if i enter the microSIM 3G number :\
 
My Unlimited BSNL 3G plan ended yesterday :( , looking for ipad micro sim now :ohyeah: .

Anybody from Hyderabad knows if it is available , I checked in Khairatabad telephone bhavan they don't have stock.
 
I tried to recharge iPad 999 Plan on my regular 3G Sim Card, At first it showed "Recharge Successful" on the shopkeeper's cell phone but 10 seconds later the amount reverted back :(

After inquiring I got to know that the 999 Plan will work only in Micro-SIMs issued by BSNL. But there is no stock of Micro-Sim in Nagpur and it doesn't seem that they will get a new stock soon.

If anyone has one in spare or can get a new one for me then it will be very helpful to me. :) (P.S.: I will bear A-Z expense of yours in this case!)
 
Anyone using a 2G recharge on 3G card? can you tell the speed you are getting.
I was getting around 1MBps last month but this months its very very slow. Has BSNL made any changes?
 
^^ I am using 2G wala 98 Rs/- 3GB plan on 3G card. and it is capped at 128 Kbps. But browsing speed is far superior on 3G than EDGE. Very VFM for General Browsing and mails.

I'm using 2G 3GB plan as well, in edge speeds vary around 128kbps to 200kbps. But if I switch to wcdma only mode, i'm able to use it in 3G with a cap of 256kbps :D

And the speed remains constant 256kbps on 3G mode.

^^ lucky you. I think it differs from state to state. One of my friend got 3G speed for like 1 month and suddenly on one day it is capped to 128K. They have capped now almost all 3G cards who recharge with 2G plan. ;)
 
I need some help guys.

I sent someone from my office to buy a BSNL iPad prepaid microsim. He was charged Rs. 100 and a microsim was given to him. Now, to avail the free 1GB/month for 6 months, do I need to get some kind of Rs. 100 recharge done or is it included in the Rs. 100 i paid. Also, what happens when I exceed the 1GB limit? Do I get charged or does ir stop working till the next cycle. Also, if I get a recharge done in between, does the free 1GB plan get cancelled?

Thanks!

Also, how long does it take before the sim starts working? Is there some verification done first? I'm asking this because my employee was told that it will work after a few days since the verification is done in Meerut. The sim was bought in Noida.
 
@vb86 ,

Rs 100 = Rs .30 (microsim ) + 70 Rs . (First Recharge aka FRC ) .

1 GB / month for 6 month means , you can "max " use it till 6 months , but if u are heavy downloader u can use it within few hours or few days .so there is nothing happens when 1 GB completes , it just continuously till total 6 GB ( 1 GB * 6 = 6 GB total )last.

just keep in mind Recharge are counted towards data use & those top ups counted towards voice & etc .

generally verification happens only if address proof looks non familiar , otherwise it just active within few hours.

So, you're saying that it's actually 6GB with a validity of 6 months and not 1GB/month for 6 months?

Also, I didn't get the recharge and top up bit. This card will only be used on an iPad.

I don't from where you got this info.
But it is certainly not this way , atleast here in b'lore.

it is 1GB/month for 6 months.
If you complete the 1GB/month limit, it automatically gets disconnected.
So, the next 1GB will be credited in the next cycle only.
 
Anyone from mumbai who has bsnl m-sim plz reply frm whey got their sim .also plz tell if they need the bill with it(via pm).

yes for ipad there is only Recharge .
but as you know our BSNL aunties - when we approach to do recharge , they ask what you want top up or recharge or voice & make confuse yourself . So be clear cut say them to do recharge not top up .

I didn't got from somewhere , I own such sim .

I used 6 GB within 2-3 days (for record - I putted x264 file more than 4 GB & it downloaded straight without any disconnection ).:)
 
The unused balance traffic out of the 1GB gets carried forward every month. This is my 3rd month with the microsim and my balance traffic is 3GB :P
