by

BSNL EVDO takes the further step in EVDO evolution as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd has announced  the launch of BSNL EVDO with speed upto 3.1 Mbps for Rs 750. Previously we have wrote about BSNL EVDO with which we used to get 2.4 Mbps speed covering 700 cities in India, get some more details about Rs 750 unlimited plan service. As most of you know that BSNL EVDO Data cards are known for their fast speed and downloads among wireless broadband services, BSNL EVDO are still the best data cards with amazing speed.

Now with introduction of new plans Rs 750 per month of BSNL EVDO card you get a peak speed upto 3.1 Mbps with unlimited downloads and browsing which comes with all India free roaming to stay you connect with Internet no matter in which part of India you are. This unique plan is only applicable in postpaid plans  and this is valid for people who apply for activation before March 31st 2010. Don’t worry, there is more news for Prepaid Plans which says you are charged Rs 0.05 for per 100 Kb i.e., for 1Mb browsing or downloads you are charges Rs 1. But, the offer for Postpaid customer with unlimited speed is really excellent and hurry up as this a promotional offer till 31st March 2010.

Other plans for Postpaid customer of BSNL EVDO remains unaltered and so now the BSNL EVDO plans are available among the following plans:

Plan 4 – 649 per month with free usage of 5 GB
Plan 5 – 750 per month with unlimited usage

Note that charges beyond free usage will be levied as Rs 0.50 per MB which excludes from the unlimited Rs 750 plan.

So if you are using BSNL EVDO with speed limit then you can go with 750 per month plan(Plan 5) which gives you independence from usage limits & take credit to enjoy unlimited broadband with your wireless broadband services.

  1. The EVDO rates vary from city to city. For example, my friend in Pune pays 750 Rs for Unlimited plan and I play 500 Rs per month for unlimited plan in Nasik. Kerala has 600 Rs (not too sure about this). I wonder why rates are different in each city?

    • this is a marketing strategy of companies. they vary prices according to the spending power of the particular city. i have seen this trend with airtel, reliance also in couple of cities. they do it to attract maximum users as every city does not have equal spending powers.

    • Hi all,
      I have a query, I want to buy EVDO device but I want to have NIC card unlimited connection, is there any way to do it?
      the raeson behind is, presently I don’t need that much speed but in future i’ll , so for the time being i don’t want to pay 999 rs for EVDO unlimited plan.

      so please tell me that, can I have EVDO device with the plan of nic card (as it is always mentioned in each post, EVDO devic is backward compitable).

      Please guide me,

        • Hello Madam,

          I have Bsnl Broadband Connection with 750/- plan per month and it shows 1.0 Gbps speed but downloading speed is too slow it’s only 30kbps…… Why?? Please reply me soon madam…….

          Thank You.

          • Bsnl offers you 256kbps at Rs 750 if iam not wrong, which means that your speed for downloads would be around 30kbps only. Hence you cannot expect more speed than this.

    • I have bsnl evdo modem but it is still not working properly so bsnl services in very poor so pls give me a suggetion

      • bsnl evdo gave me such poor service last yr that i’m never buying any bsnl product in future!
        most of their employees dont even respond and it takes days to resolve even the simplest of problems!!!!!!!!

      • download speed of bsnl evdo card is around 20 to 30 kbps only 🙁 .but sumtime when ur luck is with u it may come around 90 kbps (but this kind of speed is valid only for one day)
        conclusion is WE PAY MORE but we are receiving less amount of data .
        suck this bsnl service …

  2. Here in Hyderabad – Andhra Pradesh we saw a Newspaper Ad saying its 750Rs per month for unlimited access with the offer closing soon. I will soon get this connection because its really cheap and you get upto 3.1 MBPS Connection speed.

  3. am in bharuch, gujrat right now. pl let me know this internet service is available here, if so then let me also know the process to avail this facility.

    • I Stay in Mira Road. Can I buy bsnl evdo card and how should i go for it. will it work in my home and office. my office is at nariman point. kindly reply.

      • i think so that it is not available in d area of mtnl coverage eg it is not available in delhi bcoz it is under the coverage of mtnl i.e i think so it might not be available in mumbai.yet u can inquire about it nearby bsnl office.i m not confirmed about it.

        • you might not be able to get bsnl evdo there since delhi & mumbai are under the mtnl zone & mtnl does not provide this service. U might go for tata photon or reliance netconnect,But the unlimited plan by bsnl in amazing (no worries of bill) & if u r close to d tower u feel really lucky.

  4. Is the usb modem avaialable on rent or full purchase only ? Can some one comment.Bangalorean comments are more welcome

    • u can opt from both the options
      1. u can get it for one time payment i.e u purchase card for Rs.(3500+180 tax) one time activation charge Rs.500 (which will add to first bill)
      2. u can get it on rental basis for a security deposit of Rs.1000(refundable) & monthly rental @Rs200/mth would b charged to u (here also u will have to pay 1 time activation charge of Rs 500 with d 1st bill & minimum rental period is 3month)

    • I recently took this BSNL 3G 3.1mbps @ 750/-. I applied for it but they called me and told me that there is only purchase option and no rental. I bought it for 3500/- and the speed sucks…………..it is not even 10%. it is unlimited but no speed at all for normal usage. Imagine a situation where u want to wait for hours to see a youtube video. If you are looking for a download wireless internet… this is a good selection. But if you have to work and get things done on time… look for Reliance or TATA or MTS will be better. I am not sure about limited BSNL connection – planning to try that soon.

      • i tell u really that i didnt use it @ fbd.but unlimited plan is available in 750 Rs. in faridabad.
        and it is based on bsnl cdma service which is available in faridabad and gurgoan.it is not available in delhi.it will not work in delhi.so if u r delhi going user it will disappoint u. if u r interested in it u can purchase or get detail about it from bsnl sec-15 office,room no 7.and take a closer look of evdo device and get all information about it as will it work in ur location or not?

        • @tarun………..thank you very much pal…..i am going to use it in haryana only…will chek out at sec 15 🙂

    • Hi SAndeep,

      Where did you buy data card.Is available in Delhi?if yes Could you have location name?
      9811417303

  11. Hi all
    can u plz tell me if it is available in dhanbad (sindri)
    if yes plz tell me the tariffs and price of the data card and its official website.
    Thanks

    • i too wants to use this bsnl evdo data card,tell me the price and monthly rents of it.can i use this in hazaribagh road,GIRIDIH,JHARKHAND and where to buy it ,telll me the nearest DEALER of it

  12. Now I m using 999ul tariff in bsnl evdo 2.4mbps. But now the tariff is Rs.750 for the same. How can I transfer my 999 to 750..? kindly reply soooooon…..

  13. This is not for those who work in Gurgaon and live in Delhi, I confirmed from BSNL, they are not providing their services in MTNL zones. HELL… I will have to cope with those private suckers……

  15. BSNL EVDO cards are available in Bhopal for sure, but when I’m asking them for available plans they are telling me 2.4 Mbps at Rs. 750. I’m confused, on internet they are saying 3.1 Mbps at Rs. 750. Also the BSNL executives didn’t know anything about such plan is this plan for real or the BSNL is just ignoring us.

    If anyone purchased 3.1 Mbps plan in Bhopal please reply me.

    • there is one problem with bsnl guys that most of them are not aware of the latest updates of there own compony so dont worry the new system has been upgraded to support & provide speed upto 3.1 mbps in most of the part of the country but most of the people in bsnl r not aware of this things u just go to bsnl exchange near new market & ask the commercial or d marketing officer about the speed thing they might b having the wright information.

      • Thanks sunny for reply. But I’ve visited all the offices in bhopal and they had one answer “there is no such scheme”. 🙁

  16. But what about Rs 999 plan . The unlimited plan that was 650 is now Rs 999 in siliguri

  18. Hello, Sir our office is located at Pune, for our Director’s Laptop use we want to purchase it

    how to get it fast, & With Rs. 750/- unlimited , because on website of BSNL it shows Rs. 999/- Unlimited.

    VBT

    • at many places in maharashtra there is a long wating for the evdo device so first u have to check the avalibility of the device if available u can get it in a single day just caught any of the sales rep in bsnl off (that will not charge u any thing extra bsnl wil give them the commission) just pay for the device & its hardly an hour affair,u can visit Bsnl site til 31 march they r offering d unlimited plan for Rs 750+tax

      • i wanted to knw what up with prepaid can prepaid one also get those advantage similar to post paid
        i stay in kondhwa,pune and my kalik staying in my hostel too have evdo but its coverage is less here so shuld i go fr it
        and whats ur oinion abt tata photon + ply reply by tmrw i nd to knw

        • Always better to start with a new comment. Pl comment in good english, so that one can understand and give u perfect reply. Postpaid is better than prepaid in all terms. If u take rental in consideration, prepaid is little higher than postpaid. Tata photo is a good one and for unlimited they have fair usage policy which means after downloading ur limit i.e., 12 or 15 gb the speed sucks to 256 kbps. and check the speed also at ur place with a demo with tata. Think about all these and proceed.k

  19. sir
    is bsnl evdo data card working in gaziabad and noida ??????????????
    tell me soon at my mail adress

  20. sir we live in sri ganganagar(rajasthan) in rural side. we want to know about net connection

  22. I am from Bhopal. At 30 March evening BSNL called me that EVDO now available and you can come tomorrow and purchase.

    Please note who are willing to purchase BSNL EVDO.

    They said they are giving old evdo card @750 unlimited. New sim based card is available but system in not accepting bookings so we can not provide new sim based data card.

    Old non sim based data card only support 2.4 MBPS speed and soon will be out from market.
    New cdma sim based micromax data card is best choice that support amazing 3.1 MBPS speed and wide coverage area.

    Why they are giving old data card not new. The reason is simple they are willing to sell all old data card first then start selling new card. They have large inventory of old data card in stock.

    They sold new data card for 2-3 days in feb but then stopped selling. My friend was lucky he bought new data card in that period. The new card provide amazing speed and wide coverage. He was able to use new card in sanchi, vidisha, jabalpul, gwalier without any compromise in speed. so the new card has wide coverage area then the older 2.4 MBPS card.

    I suggest don’t buy until they start selling new cards.

  23. The bsnl in March 2009 started here in j and k srinagar city providing offering 2.4 mbps speeds only in srinagar city sorroundings only.my friend was ist to get it,the speeds were fast,as we got nfs game 2.17 GB download in just one hour.i 2 purchased evdo card in 4,000.but bsnl officer told me that u r not comming in Evdo coverage area bu t would soon provide it in ur area one year passed nothing happened.my plan is 350 unlimited via cdma 1x ,with speed 144 kbps not at regular intervals.after one month my friend told me that he is getting the same speed via EVDO as I’m getting via cdma 144 kbps . When we went complaint about it an newely smart knowing officer told us that it would take us 5 years to provide 2.4mbps as they are offering the EVDO via Rev 0 network as the user base increased our servers started getting overloaded hardly any user gets 300 kbps speed.now in march 2010 we again visited for getting our bills which we never got in 2009 i luckly got my bill 2,000 for 6 months usage.we again got an update that bsnl plans to launch 3G over evdo as they r installing fibre cables every where.i would advise every one not to purchase Evdo as it would take bsnl india 5 years to install Rev A network and supportable internet back bone server base at banglore,gurgawoo,mumbia ,delhi,and at amritsar.i would advice u 2 use gprs or airtel 899 unlimited plan which is better as they upgrading internet backbone every 6 months.BSNL Will waste u money.

  24. Another thing about Evdo in the india is that it is not officially launched in most parts of india.only chenai is the only state where it has been launched officially they have already instally Rev A network and is working better.and there is no customer care as usuall when a company officially launch a product customer care service is alwaz provided.with bsnl evdo there is no one to help if a trouble occours.and most of exchanges don’t have the controll over internet server backbone.due to ur complaint can’t be rectified in 24 hours.BSNL IS LOOTING its customers with this joke 2.4 mbps every where .we hope in the next three something is going to be happen.what i observed in srinagar our conection get down at 11 am to 1.00pm as they r upgradding network with slow pace,when we call to bsnl they tell us that server is down from banglore backbone.tata photon and Reliance r the 2 majar gaints in Evdo powered by Qualcom but they have no unlimited plans as they always provid the caps ofgb download limit .airtel is the best providing 899 unlimited with 1mbps in selected zones so if ur the lucky one to get this must have.we tested airtel broadband in delhi durring our visit to over relatives.

  29. sir,i want to connect bsnl evdo.so,please tell me downpayment price & monthly charges for orissa.

  30. Dear Sir
    Can i use the BSNL EVDO Data card in many computers using internet connection sharing

  33. hi. Is there any reduction in bill on unlimited data plan of BSNL EVDO Data Card 3.1 Mbps 750Rs for govt. eployees as reduced 20% in wireline BSNL Broadband

      after that i will try my best level to provide information about it.

      • Hello Tarun,

        i am from cuddappa ,Andhra Pradesh. I planned to buy BSNL EVDO but i dont know the exact browsing (surffing) speed.so can you please tell me the actual working quality of the BSNL EVDO.Its very better for me if you send reply to my mail ID.
        I will be waiting for your reply…

        • Sister, I think the wired one is better for u which gives constant speed. I had evdo, after using 3 months I surrendered the connection. The BSNL says 2.1 mbps. If u get that speed or atleast 1 mbps I think its a miracle. Better u go for bsnl home ul750 combo which is rent free telephone + 512 kpbs (As I am replying little late) upload download speed.

  35. sir
    is bsnl evdo data card working in gurgaon and noida ??????????????
    tell me soon at my mail adress

    • i only know about gurgoan circle.yes it is working in gurgoan but not in all locations.
      so pl contact in ur nearby bsnl exchange office & enquiry about evdo device.
      u can also check the speed & connectivity of evdo device in ur location by contacting bsnl exchange.
      i think it might work in noida too.

    • evdo device will not work in delhi region.
      because bsnl has no coverage area in delhi.
      delhi region is under mtnl.
      i have asked from bsnl office.they tell me it is not available in delhi & mumbai.so u can try tata,reliance,virgin,mts,mtnl datacard.

  37. In some cities, they are providing old ZTE card which support upto 2.4MBPS speed while new micromax data card support speed upto 3.1 mbps.

    Do you guys have any idea in difference. Is ZTE support roaming? ZTE does not uses sim card while Micromax card uses cdma sim.. Does it make difference in connectivity in roaming? Please share ur experience.

    Thanks

  38. I want to know that if I purchase the BSNL EVDO in my city i.e. so can I use it with the same speed in Delhi or Mumbai or in any other city??
    Also does the BSNL EVDO works in Delhi?

    • first of all i want to tell about that evdo does not work in delhi & mumbai.
      pl mention ur city.i know only that speed depends on the area how many users are accessing net.when there are lot of users,speed can be drastically slow but above 256 or 512 kbps.
      when there are less no of users,speed can be above 1mbps or 1.5mbps.

  39. i purchased bsnl ev-do 3g with tariff 750/- in 10th may-2010 ,can i download unlimited data & usage. in after 31 march 2010.

  41. hi, i am from bangalore. currently i am using BSNL broad band with 750ul plan. i was just wondering about the plan of bsnl evdo 750 unlimited data usage and bandwith upto 3 mbps.

    i have three questions.

    1) do we really get the mentioned speed .at least upto 1 mbps?
    2) will the signal availability will be good?
    3) is it recommended to change my connection to bsnl evdo ?

    can any one pls help me on this.

    • No brother, don’t do it. The speed in wireless is not a standard one. What u have is wired one which gives u a constant speed. I had very bad experience with evdo. The speed is very slow. I don’t know about 3G card. U can do one thing. Just call bsnl office and ask for a demo. BSNL Officer will attend and give u a demo. Just check the speed. Because wireless speed is vary from one place to another. Just try and Good luck.

  42. i want to buy netconnect for my laptop for unlimited plan.plz advice & suggest the plan

  43. want to buy netconnect for my laptop for unlimited plan.plz advice & suggest the plan.i m in coimbatore.

    • Brother, what kind of netconnect u are looking for? Wired one or wireless. As far as i am concerned wired one will give u a constant speed. For this u should have bsnl landline connection. If u dont have go for one with combo plan which will save u landline rental. For tariff and other details just click this link http://www.bsnl.co.in/service/dataone_tariff.htm . If u would like to go for wireless then go for 3G data card which is available with bsnl offices for 2500 bucks. There are 2 kinds of data cards available in bsnl. One is standalone. another is triband card which costs 4333. Just go for 2500 card (Pl check with your bsnl office for availability). The rental varies from one place to another. I dont know from where u r?

  44. Hi everyone, those who have any queries in this forum, I would like to inform:

    1. Please mention your location. Bcz tariffs and terms & conditions varies one place to another.

    2. Please brief about the plan u are interested or existing

    3. Please give all possible details about your querry.

    4.Please acknowledge with a thanks to the person who replied your querry.

    • i want by a internet connection from laptop or mobile.which is better with low price

  45. i am in chennai (poonamalli). i need a BSNL EVDO wireless modem 3.1 Mbps 750Rs Unlimited. who is the right person to contact and how to buy the connection.

    • Contact your nearest BSNL office. Before that please see the feasibility. Just call bsnl to get a live demo. BSNL officer will visit your spot and show the demo. If u satisfied with the speed, then go ahead. If u use laptop then u can go for this connection, If it is desktop just go for wired combo plans as explained earlier in this forum.

  46. Hi Amit

    I have a query regarding my EVDO. Whenever I connect my EVDO, it takes me to 1X on Hybrid and 1X mode. While I switched it over to EVDO mode, it shows no signal and moreover it is not connecting.
    Can you please let me know if this is problem with my device, or they have not configured it properly?
    I get green light when I insert the USB, but once it get connected it again gives me Yellow light!
    Please help me out.

    • Dude, this is because u r not getting proper coverage. One more suggestion is that try to move ur laptop or desktop to open area. Bcz wireless signal will be far better in open area rather than a closed one. This will help u to get good signal.

      Green light – Good signal
      Yellow or Orange – Medium or low
      Red – No signal

      Those who r interested to buy evdo or any other private wireless connections, b4 buying, first have a demo. Buy only if satisfied with the speed.

    • I don’t think so. Pl check bsnlevdo.in which give u all details about bsnl evdo, which is an unofficial bsnl website and for availability just contact ur nearest bsnl office.

  48. does the BSNL EVDO works in this area,
    the pin code of this area is
    562127,
    karnataka.

    • Pl read the earlier reply in this form which reads “I don’t think so. Pl check bsnlevdo.in which give u all details about bsnl evdo, is an unofficial bsnl website and for availability just contact ur nearest bsnl office.”.

      If u r from rural area, BSNL have discounted wired broadband connections. Check with ur nearest BSNL office.

    • U have not mentioned the product u r interested.

      EVDO Modem costs u 2500 on outright purchase or 200 on monhly rental + broadband rs. 750 rental (all these are exclusive of taxes)

      For wired contact ur nearest bsnl office.

  50. Sir, i am currently the subscriber of TATA photon Plus, one of my friend is using this BSNL 3.1 Mbps unlimited plan but he is always complaining about the speed and the network problem which always disconnects after some time. So i wont recommend this.

    • As I mentioned earlier in this blog, try to move his laptop to open area where he gets full signal.
      I have also requested all those who buy wireless connections, that they should go for a demo before they buy. I request U all first select the type of wireless, next see the availability, next see the plans which they offer, next go for a demo and if satisfied then proceed.
      Onething I would like to mention here is, you will not get UNLIMITED PLANS, other than BSNL in wireless. Nobody will feed when u are hungry (BSNL is also not exceptioal). Just keep thin in ur mind. All these operators are there to make money. They are not interested what u get. They are interested only how much they benefitted. Just read their FAIR USAGE POLICY.

      I am sorry that I have not come to ur point. Regarding speed, as I mentioned earlier try to place ur modem on open space (with and extension cable of 1.5 m with one end connected to ur pc and the other end to the modem). As BSNL is upgrading their towers, ur friend may get good speed in a couple of months.

      As I mentioned earlier in this forum, pl mention from where u r. This will help us Bcz BSNL is upgrading their towers in many metropolitans as well as in rural areas.

      The speed and disconnection due to the network. I think he is more than 100 mts. away from the BSNL tower.

    • I don’t think so. The towers are upgrading in metros. U can check with ur bsnl office. Upgradation will be done when there is huge inflow. Remember onething, nobody will feed u unless they get somthing from u. And these operators are there to make business and not for charity. Unless there is no huge demand for their product, they don’t move a step ahead. Think about all those olden days, when BSNL was the only service provider in telecom industry. They use to charge 15 to 50 bucks per minute for STD.

    • Contact nearest BSNL office. If ur instrument in rental basis, surrender it. MTS has come out with 999 unlimited. Tata and Reliance may come out with the same offer. Just wait for few days. As u r from srinagar, I think all these service providers may have their wireless broadband and have their services in ur area. I repeat once again, b4 go for any connection, just have a demo. If satisfied then proceed.

  53. hi,
    i am harish.i want to know about the bsnl daa card.is he data card available in andhra pradesh?what is the cost and different plans available?

    • In andhra it is available. Moreover it depends where u stay. Pl check with bsnl office and before proceeding u can read the mails in this blog.Data card costs 2500/- monthly rental 750/-. I think bsnl has introduced some special plans for Andhra. Pl check with your nearest bsnl office.

  54. One thing is for sure, do not get BSNL in Visakapatnam the rates are overpriced and the signal strength and service are very bad as well.

    • Dude, U r wrong. U have not given any details.

      BSNL prices are very competitive if u compare to private service providers. U might have been charged rental + installation charges in ur first bill.

      From ur 2nd bill u get 750 + rental (if modem on rental) and 10.3% taxes.

      Regarding signal I have requested all those b4 buy go for demo and check the connectivity, speed etc. satisfied then proceed. The solution try to move ur desktop or laptop to open space and try i.e., if ur in a room the signal strength will be 50% of what u have to get. Bcz u r covered 4 sides. Try move to ur pc nearer to window or door or ur hall or varanda.

      I agree the Service is a poor part in BSNL. Bcz BSNL baboos are not interested what they paid for.

  55. i m from guwahati,Assam.I have been using bsnl evdo data card from last one year.My query is that i m using the old ZTE device(AC8700-Model)where speed tops upto 2.4mbps,but now the new device is said to give upto 3.1 mbps.So,if i will be gettin 3.1 speed automatically,or i have to contact bsnl authorities or my old device doesn’t support that speed and if my old device doesn’t really support 3.1 speed,then is there any alternative to get my old device replaced to the newer one.And for ur info i m also using the Rs 750 unlimited plan

    • Dear Das,

      Since u r in unlimited plan, if u change ur device, the plan will be same.

      Regarding speed I have tested with 2.4 & 3.1, wherein 3.1 is much advanced device and the speed is also good if u compare to 2.4. Pl note that the speed depends on ur signal. If u r nearby to bsnl tower then speed will be excellent.

      Onemore thing if u go for 3.1 ur 2.4 will be a waste one. There is no replacement or exchange in BSNL. What u can do is u can sell it to a third party.

      To get 3.1 u have to contact BSNL office from where u bought 2.4. U can also ask bsnl guys to give a demo if u have any doubt regarding speed. Just call bsnl customer care and ask for demo. BSNL officer will attend and give u a demo.

      Goodluck

    • Contact nearest bsnl office. B4 buy, just have a demo. Satisfied with the speed, then only proceed.

    • No dude, Since bsnl now give national roaming for all new connections. If u r an old customer, then pl check with ur bsnl office.

  58. hi i am live in badarpur (nearest in faridabad) so bsnl evdo working properly in area plz giving me ans than i will buy bsnl evdo today

    • Dude, Don’t think bsnl evdo is working properly. First read the comments by members in this forum.

      However, First check with bsnl office for feasibility. Secondly, ask for a demo. If satisfied then proceed.

      Goodluck

  59. hi,
    i live in bangalore and m thinking of buying the above mentiond bsnl internet service for my laptop . i am confused btwn bsnl and tata photon . which one should i buy and which is more economical n good

  60. Dear raj,
    Just check the feasibility. BSNL is always good. No hidden costs. Now tata has come out with unlimited with a *conditions apply. What is this condition. They say upto 10 gb or 15 gb normal speed and thereafter it will 256 kbps. Whereas bsnl is always 3.1 mbps. Just check and proceed. Personally, I feel bsnl is better. B4 proceed pl check the speed in your area.

  61. Hey Kini,
    I live in delhi n want to know about MTNL plan which having speed upto 3.1mbps or nearer to it with unlimited plan n offcourse no hidden limited data usage.Can u plz suggest me abt the plan n Data card.And u r doing a great job by replying all these mails,so keep it.Thanks

    • Dear Alok, Sorry for the delay. This wireless technology always depend on the towers. U won’t get wired broadband speed in this wireless connection. They say 3.1, but actual speed is very less. Just have a demo first then proceed. I am not much thorough about mtnl.
      There r 2 kinds of evdo cards available. One is single band and the other is triband. As the technology in India which runs now on single band better u go for single band card which costs around 2500/- (bsnl rate) and triband costs u around 3,600 (I don’t know the exact rate). Visit ur nearest MTNL office. For all the plans and data card details visit http://mtnldelhi.in/

      • Daer Kini,Thanks for replying.I have talked to their customer care executives and believe me they r dumb.They don’t know exactly what they have tout n don’t know even about some technical terms.Also i m disappointed to their response.Btw i m currently using MTS n not satisfied with it so why i want to switch the services to others.Thanks

        • Hi, As u said its very difficult to tackle these bsnl(mtnl) babus. I had a bad experience. U can do one thing. Just visit ur mtnl office and contact JE or AE and they will help u out. I don’t know for which purpose u are using this instrument. If u are on roaming always then this is very useful. Or else u can go for wired broadband, where the speed is good. I am having 2 broadband and one EVDO connection. I use EVDO only when my broadband sucks. Frankly speaking MTS and BSNL as well as tata are operating on CDMA technology. That’s why the speed is good. I think MTS is not having proper towers. In that case the instrument will search the nearest tower. If the tower is within 100 to 200 m range, then u will get full signal (5 indicative lines), if its more than that then u get 3 indicative lines. Just think, if u really need this wireless or wired one.

  63. I m not here today for any queries….but want to share a very suprising incident related to my evdo card.I m from Guwahati,Assam..and on last 6th of september tnere was ligthening and thundering in my palce for which my PC got burned and with that my evdo data card got burned its inside circuit.I had to upgrade my PC which cost me around 12000 bucks,but i was most worried for my Bsnl Evdo Data card as it also became faulty….going by the reputation and ignorance of the Bsnl babus i was thinking that it will take time to retrive a new card from them,so on 13th of sept i went to the Bsnl office where i told my problem to them,they checked my evdo card and declared it faulty..after that they checked my warranty date and from that they knew on 16th of july it has expired….my heart sighed for this prospect…i asked them if there was any alternative…but as by there reputation they had nothing to tell me….then one babu said to me to come nextday as the DE was not present that day…so i went next day(15th sept)….they recognised me instantly…they gave me a black paper and said to write me a application for replacement of evdo card and not to give any date..even the format for the application was provided by them..at that time i felt it very childsh….after that they took me to the DE where the babu n DE Discussed my problem and the De accepted my Application on a Backdate………now the most intresting part…as i saw my work has been done and i was preety relieved…i was just turning to go when the babu called me ..he said to seat before office desk…aftr that he took one Evdo card from somewhere and did somthin wit his computer…hardly sum 5 mins had passed…he handed tnat card to me and said my card replaced…i was just in a shock..in the state of shock i acknowelded my reciept of card too…even i asked him twice if was to do any more formality…he just replied with a simle ..my card has been replaced dont worry itz a new card and enjor surfing….even when i came out of the Bsnl office i was in an awe of shock…i calle dsome of my frens told the incident..and naturally they were also suprised…the whole process to me some 20 mins…..so i want to tell Bsnl service doesn’t sucks…even the babus though ignorant knows there job….i m very grateful to them!!!!!!!!

  64. I bought bsnl evdo recently.i m getting around 50-60 KBps during daytime and 280-290 KBps in night time.

  65. hi i am from bangalore.. and lukin for a wireless net connection. among reliance and bsnl whch is bttr… wat is d avg speed of bsnl..and also can we take the banl evdo card on rent or do we need to buy the card??? pl help me..

  66. Sister, What I feel is bsnl is good in all terms. In Bangalore evdo works fine. Average speed depends on the distance between ur place & tower. As i said earlier if its less than 200mtrs then u get good speed. Rent 750/- + Modem rent 200 + taxes 10.3%. If u buy modem which costs 2500 (single band) or 3500+ (triband) then there is no modem rental. U have to pay 750+ taxes pm. And this is unlimited and speed limit is also unlimited and there is no conditions apply. Better u go for 2500 modem.
    If u go for private operators then I suggest u can go for MTS which is having a very good speed and rental is less if u compare to tata proton or reliance. But these private operators are having conditions apply, that is u get first 12 gb or 15 gb @ 3.1 mbps and rest will @ 256 kbps i.e., when ur ul/dl limit reaches 12gb or 15 gb, the speed sucks to 256 kbps.

    Above all before proceed have a demo and personally I feel, if u r nearby any bsnl exchange, then BSNL IS BEST. GOOD LUCK

  67. I have BSNL wired one and it is much fast than evdon service which is wireless..

    Wireless will also be slower than wired connections and wireless .. it is even highly disturbed when there rains or storms are there.

  68. sir,
    1. can an evdo card serve at 500 metres distance fom a tower in kolkata (KAMALGAZI, NEAR NARENDRAPUR KOL 700 103)
    2. do they take back the card and return money if speed of even 512 KBps unavailable? and in that case, how speedy is the return?
    PLEASE, SIR, REPLY. WILL WAIT FOR RWPLY.

    • Dude, I don’t think so. EVDO range is 0 to 200 mts, even tower signal is stronger means it can reach another 50 mts. This is for normal surfing. Even there are few incidents that few customers are getting signals beyond this range. U can go for a demo and proceed. There may be another tower which u dont know. Pl visit ur nearest bsnl office for details. Be sure, have a demo then proceed.

      No refund under any circumstances. If u still want 2 go for that, u can have a choice of rental or purchase. U can go for rental. If u satisfied with the speed u can purchase the instrument in the later stage. If not happy just return the instrument to bsnl.

  69. Friends, I am thinking to buy a BSNL EVDO, but please can anyone clarify me that it works well in Warangal (Andhra Pradesh)? and my home is 1.5Km away from a nearest tower. pleae need your analysis for this. reply me at the earliest.

    Thank You.

    • BSNL website says EVDO works at ur place. Don’t go on the nearest tower. I think u thought about nearest exchange tower. There are few towers (hidden) which are constructed on the building top. Just visit ur nearest bsnl office and have a demo at ur place, where u want 2 use ur instrument. It may work. Usually EVDO working range for good signal is 200 mts.

  70. BSNL EVDO says 3.1 Mbps, I did not crossed 256Kbps of my browsing speed. Better go for some private provider like Airtel, TATA etc. This BSNL after connection they least bothered about service.

    • Dude, U have not informed about the instrument. Apart from cdma 1x, there are 2 evdo instruments which supports 2.4 & 3.1 mbps. This EVDO (Evolution-Data Optimized / Evolution-Data) is a telecommunications standard for the wireless transmission of data through radio signals, typically for broadband Internet access. Hence, there is no guarantee of speed, as this totally depends on the tower signal.

      U r getting 256 kbps or kBps(KBps) wherein B stands for bytes and lower case b stands for bits. Therefore, 8b = 1B (8 bits = 1 Byte). Pl check that. If u get 256 kBps then u get around 2mbps (bsnl states that upto 3.1 mbps and not mBps) which is a reasonable speed.

      To improve speed move your evdo nearer to a window. If u have installed in a closed room, u will get only 50% of the signal. Try to move it to open space like hall.

      Before switching over to a private operator, just think twice. And dont forget to have a demo.

  71. 750 plans clear details and it is unlimited will be no extra charge , government employees for any discount.

  72. Is Bsnl Evdo Data card available in Assam (Dibrugarh)? And if it is available in Assam what is the download speed in 299 plan?

      • @rohit….if u still thinkin to buy an evdo at dibrugarh then don;t buy it… i m from assam and i know this device works well only at guwahati and none other places……but if u had already bought it…..then nothin can be done!!!

  73. hi,
    i m from pune
    BSNL EVDO says 3.1 Mbps, but i want to know exact speed at day time and at night time.
    And for how many years it will resume with that speed.
    pls reply.

    • Dear Sallu,

      Most of these connections are working on the signal and usage. If more users are logging at a time or use in the same tower, then ur speed will be less. Don’t think in years about the speed. Cos everyday technology changes. Earlier they use to give 2 mbps, later 3.1 and now bsnl is giving 7.1 mbps (subject to availability and the speed of ur evdo).

    • Sure bro. B4 that pl check if u have all india roaming. Bcz if its a new connection roaming is enabled by default. If it is older than a year, then check with ur exchange and give a application in writing to enable roaming.

    • There is no coverage for EVDO or 3G for BSNL subscriber .

      Its mentioned in BSNL site as well.

      Go for some other service provider.

  77. i want to know the penalty for changing my evdo plan from monthly rental of rs. 750 to rs 199 p.m rental. is there any penalty or extra charge for doing so

  78. Sister,

    As per TRAI, there is no such charges for plan changing. However, after change of ur plan just confirm from bsnl that u have been migrated before Uload/Dload.

  79. i have a bsnl micrmax 750 plan. i shifted from rajasthan to kolkata for 2 months on offical tour.
    now my data card says no service. can any one help….

    • Dear Arun

      You might possible in no service area for EVDO signals.
      Information you mat get from BSNL office of that area.
      Or try to suffix “aaa@.in” in end of your user name since you are using service in roaming.

      Regds.

  80. sir i had applied for bsnl evdo in srinagar jk exchange and paid Rs 3000/ on 27/12/10 but still yet 03/02/11 they are not able to give me evdo. According to officer evdo comes from Banglore it takes time of 1 to 2 months plz. Inform me about same

      • May be there wasnt any in stock.
        So, they had to order it all the way from bangalore. The data card is not like toys wich take a week to transfer. It needs a special industry to get it manufactured. U can buy it frm a computer shop. Jst ask dem fr a evdo data card, n tel dem dat u wanna use it fr bsnl. Dey wil order it within a week. N u cn hav evdo on the spot…

  81. Hi kini, recently, bsnl scrapped its 3g unlimited plans(2500 fr 2 mnts n 4200 fr 6 mnts w.e.f feb 2011). So, bcoz of dis, most bsnl 3g subscribers r like lost sheep as if bsnl cheated dem.
    M doin my 12th, n m frm goa n my boards r on 12th march, n endin 23rd.
    I, n a no of my frndz wer hopin 2 go fr 3g afta r boardz, bt we wr shockd dat bsnl 3g screwd up deir unlmtd plans.
    So, i tink dat bsnl mite scrap deir unltd plans of evdo. Dat is wat worries me. I undrstnd dat bsnl has upgrdd deir ntwk frm rev 0(2.4mbps) to rev a(3.1mbps). Nw i beliv dat dey wil upgrd deir ntwk to rev b (abt 9.xmbps)(say 9.1,2…etc mbps)
    Jst 2 let u no, my twr is les dan 200 m frm my place, n m gettin full range inside ma houz at all spots(i hav a bsnl 2g pst paid sim wit nokia 5130 xm). So, m plannin 2 go fr evdo dis march end.
    So, wat wil b d price of d card(3.1) 2k or 2.5k?
    Secondly, m takin da 750 plan.
    Wil i b chargd mor dan 750(any oda charges like taxes or oda stuff?), coz i had bsnl bb of 750 n my bsnl telefone bill wud cm to abt 900 pr mnt.
    (dat waz in 2008. I hd net til june 08)…
    So do lemme no evrythin b4 my boards hav strtd.
    P.S: I hope you understood my sms english as i was typing this from my cell phone…
    Rgds, Kiran Fernandes…

  82. Dear Kiran,

    To attract subscribers and to increase their subscription base, bsnl announced that the plan is valid till feb 11. But they have not said they r going 2 scrapt it. If u have already bought 3g wait till ur subscription ends. Then think about it. Bcoz evdo not as good as 3g or wired broadband. One more is u have to buy evdo card which costs u arount 2.5k bucks. Next is rental which is again 50 bucks more. i.e., 750 + 10.3% taxes = around 830 bucks. As u r a student u don’t have to go for evdo or 3g connection as they are used by those who are on move. finally wired connection is far better than these 2 connections. BSNL unlimited broadband charges 7500 bucks+taxes, if u opt for annual payment. Thereby u save 1500 bucks.

  83. Hi kini,

    May b, u dint like dat “fast response msg” frm me…
    Wat d’u tink?

  85. I am from Kerala.I am interested in bsnl evdo.Can u tell me what is the downloading speed of it.

    • EVDO has its own problem. Pl read out views on this blog. Instead U can go for 3G which is better than evdo. The speed depends of these connections are working on the signal (distance from tower to ur area) and usage. If more users are logging at a time or use the same tower, then ur speed will be less

      • Yes, I think you are righr as I get very poor speed on Saturdays and Sundays and the service switches from EVDO to 1x…………………What could be the reason for this switchover ???

  86. i have purchased bsnl 3g evdo datacard from jaipur and i am using it THERE , i want to use it on delhi region, can bsnl evdo will work on delhi while i will on roaming in delhi…

    please give me a feedBACK

    • As far as I am concerned U can’t. Eventhough bsnl has given u national roaming, Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkatta & Chennai are come under MTNL. However, pl check with ur nearest bsnl office.

  89. I have bsnl evdo data card but it is very slow in my home and very poor service by bsnl so any read the this msg pls call me 09974066586

    in waiting of ur reply. 🙂

    • Hi sunny

      Thats the feature of ZTE device that you can check on their site.
      presently no GSM company providing the service of SIM that can work wid this device.
      Just check with CDMA…

  92. I am from Aizawl. I am currently using Tataphoton+ 950 unlimited plan that gives a normal speed upto 5gb usage and I can finish a 5gb data uasage in a day. Thereafter the speed is upto 155kbps only and it really sucks. Think I have to go for BSNL EVDO.

    • Hi

      Private operator says FUP (Fair Usage Policy) which means u get full speed to a particular limit of download, thereafter the speed sucks. But there is no such limitations in BSNL. Before proceed think about

      1. Your present datacard which has no value.
      2. You have to buy a new data card from bsnl
      and also check the speed of bsnl evdo at ur place. Just have a demo at your platform and proceed if satisfied with the speed.

  93. Hey is this available in PUNE (MAHARASHTRA) ???

    I am currently using EVDO cdma USB modem. will it be better if i switch it to This 750 rs. per month plan?

  105. Hi………m from Guwahati, Assam……Can someone tell me where is the BSNL tower located in Maligaon………..m using this EVDO card for the last two months……………….m very happy with the results as it provides me with 30-80 kbps download speed in the morning and at night it provides from 70-150 kbps and sometimes exceeds that too. But, on Saturdays and Sundays, this speed reduces to a maximum of 2-3 kbps……………m not understanding the reason…………………… Sometimes, it switches the service from EVDO to 1x and also the connection becomes very difficult inspite of showing good signal strength for EVDO…………… I have asked the reason to the BSNL officials, but these ass***** didn’t have any clue………………..Can this 1x network automatically switch to EVDO network when it is available ??? I am facing a lot of problems as I have to do most of my works on Saturdays and Sundays……………. Someone please help me !!!

  118. MYy father is a bsnl employee so can he expect any discount for unlimited evdo data card? ans me ASAP.

  119. Dear Kaustuv Das,

    Now 3G dongles replaced EVDO. However, for your query, there is 20% discount on postpaid plans for Govt. employees on landline as well as EVDO plans as per BSNL website. Pl enquire nearby Telphone exchange. Personally speaking, the 3G dongles are much better than EVDO only the difference is monthly plan rates.

  121. Hi , I have BSNL data card 2G CDMA , and i use 750/- per month unlimited plan. I want to know how can i make online topup for my datacard , i have searched a lot but i did not find any site which provides the online topup for bsnl data card. this card belongs to chhattisgarh. Thanks

  123. 3.1 Mbps with unlimited downloads is best package.its surfing speed is best and this plans is very good compare the other companys net i m full satisfied in this net.
