Roaming works fine . I am using mine in roaming from last 8 years , that too used in 4 different states . It depend son the number of users on that particular BTShi i got bsnl evdo (prithvi modem) in vishakapatnam where i used to get 1.5mbps stable speed. now i moved to bangalore here speed is fluctuating from 0.5mbps to 1.8 mbps even though i am having 4bar signal is this because of roaming? has anyone tested bsnl evdo in roaming?

yesI think you meant ZTE AC2766
@hotshot05 did u check your validity and balance? It error happens when your balance or validity expires.
20 bucks gives 6 months validity . What i do is that add an alarm/event in Google calender for all my postpaid and prepaid numbers and pay 3/4 days prior to last date . Why allow mobile companies to earn money by siting on that money .I recharged Rs.800 just 2 days ago.
And the condition is such that I even when I dial *123#, nothing is returned. So unable to check balance.
I do not have CDMA phone. So unable to put it in phone and check.[DOUBLEPOST=1401994044][/DOUBLEPOST]It seems like my Validity had expired. Recharged with Rs.20 and it started working again
Will do that from now. When I was using the Prithvi mode., remembering wasn't a problem since I used to get the texts.20 bucks gives 6 months validity .

It is an unlocked ZTE AC2766 modem. Links to eBay sellers has been mentioned in this thread.The ZTE modem, does it need any settings to be done or is it as simple as putting in the SIM. Is there a guide for the BSNL EVDO connection.
It would really help if some experienced user make a guide on how to get a new connection etc.
My Reliance speeds have been throttled to 1Mbps so really considering getting a BSNL EVDO this time.
Check EVDO speeds at your home otherwise it will be a futile exercise . Either BSNL demo or friends DATACARDThe ZTE modem, does it need any settings to be done or is it as simple as putting in the SIM. Is there a guide for the BSNL EVDO connection.

source ?BSNL disables voice service on the CDMA sim if you activate EVDO service on it.

Its as simple as going to BSNL office and buying a new BSNL CDMA RUIM . Their are 2 types of RUIM available . 40 bucks CDMA and 250/300 bucks EVDO RUIM .
Lets call 40 bucks RUIM as CDMA sim
and
250/300 bucks EVDO enabled RUIM as EVDO sim
Somebody did comment that he got EVDO on CDMA sim but i could never get it . My EVDO top up never goes through on CDMA sim . So i bought EVDO SIM
All voice and SMS work fine on both RUIMS . Data also works fine on both except I couldn't get EVDO on CDMA ruim
Dont buy BSNL branded datacards . Buy unlocked ZTE AC2766 from ebay and pop in the RUIM and you are online . Same RUIM also works in all OMH/RUIM enabled Sprint/verizon/ others handsets
This is CDMA RUIM prepaid page http://www.bsnl.co.in/opencms/bsnl/BSNL/services/mobile/cdma_prepaid_tariff.html . Its given EVDO enabled on this page itself

I have postpaid EVDO . DATA roaming works all over india . Wherever you go you will surely find 1x signal to fall back to voice and data . 1x is exaclty like a GSM 2G speeds
@cisco_tech is testing BSNL 1x speeds on his Moto G . You can ask him his experience on voice quality and data speeds
EVDO speeds are directly related to distance of BTS and number of users . I get 250/280Kbps download speeds in night
