BSNL 3G Thread

I cant register on the network - so I think it is not activated yet - got it from the exchange.

They didn't heard about the 58 FRC - so did a 120 FRC instead.

^^ Yes it is...no FUP even during the free 7 day unlimited trial period. Akshay would have downloaded 100GB by nw in 3-4 days :p

Yup No FUP even for trial period. Downloaded 110GB in 3 days. 4 more days to go. I might consider taking 6 months plan if my 3G speed remain consistent for remaining 4 days or I might bring home another 3G sim for another week of downloading.

EDIT: I think E122 is bottlenecking my speed. I hav witnessed sudden disconnects once I reach 780kBps+. Maybe its time for UMG1831. :p
 
can anyone tell me how do I activate GPRS/EDGE plan of Rs 274/month unlimited?

currently I am getting 3G speeds on my 2G sim, hence don't want to convert it into 3G and pay higher charges when I can enjoy same speed by choosing a GPRS/EDGE plan.

The BSNL customer care morons say my SIM is activated - but I can't access network. Is my SIM faulty?
 
^ what does *123# gives on the phone ? What does it say ? You tried calling your new sim from another phone ? Can you call out from this new sim of yours ?
 
I can't get any signal at all on mobile with my new sim. When I try to manually search and add the network - it is showing Cellone on operator list but when I'm trying to connect it is giving "access denied" or "registration failed" message.

When I called my new sim from other mobile i'm getting switched off message.
 
Try dialing 123 and check if it goes through. Same thing happened to me till the shopkeeper from where I bought the sim asked me to just dial 123. And voila! everything worked :p

After recharge that 3G speed (2mbps+) will disappear because 2G GPRS of 274/- UL pack is throttled to 256kbps (32KB/s) maximum.
