BSNL Unlimited (CDMA -144 kbps) Internet for Rs.250 Per Month - Page 8

Gigacore · 11-11-2007, 08:54 PM

^ yup its really cheap...

sourav · 12-11-2007, 07:52 AM

wow
i really want that
but wht is the use until evdo network is not there

u r getting good speeds, but we have to keep in mind that not many people know about this
and when the user base increases, the speed will decrease

so better if we wait for ev-do network

do u all agree with me????????

and keep in mind that its bsnl, so it will take real time
it may not be problem in big cities, but in my cities it will come after years

n.b=it refers to evdo network

Gigacore · 12-11-2007, 07:53 AM

Yeah... wait for EV-DO network.. but for one who dont want their conventional landline dialup.. then can switch to this at the moment..

sourav · 12-11-2007, 08:06 AM

ya u correct, i am also using tata incom's data card for net

it is a lot better than that
but i heard fro one of my friends that
there is only one cdma network in my city of bsnl, as told by him
he is also not sure
but anyway
it is the problem
as if their is only one cdma network after so many years then it will surely take a lot of time for evdo
do u agree??

Gigacore · 12-11-2007, 08:22 AM

^ may be... but before u plan to purchase this thing, please enquire in ur nearest BSNL exchange about the availablity of BSNL's CDMA network coverage...

speedyguy · 12-11-2007, 03:22 PM

well thanx giga.....i will try 2 get hand on it...guess not possible fr me 2 get it in hostel if ts postpaid but will surely try thru some source....

Enjoy~!

Gigacore · 12-11-2007, 04:06 PM

^ you are welcome

Tech.Masti · 13-11-2007, 08:20 AM

@Giga....
only 250 per month, no data rental

Gigacore · 13-11-2007, 08:23 AM

data rental itself is 250 per month, only if you buy EVDO device for 7k at the begining. you cant make and recieve calls. . . literally no voice plan. . . only pure always-on unlimited internet

Tech.Masti · 13-11-2007, 09:01 AM

^^eek sorry, its typo, then no voice rental is essential.
is ICC NIC is available where BSNL Tarang service present??
i will go to my exchange today, to enquire about it....
and BSNL tower is near of my house, so no problem with signal strength

Make sure it is CDMA tower and not the GSM one before you go for the data card / EVDO.

Tech.Masti · 13-11-2007, 09:14 AM

^^ ohh, ok, i will also ask them, but i think its also supports CDMA, because in my town only one BSNL tower is present, and both GSM and CDMA service is here, so.

Anindya · 13-11-2007, 10:07 AM

^^ Ya even i am interested but as far as i know that CDMA network in kolkata is only available in Rajarhat or New Town. Do find out and let me know too.

hey we are not BSNL employees so can't tell.
contact people in your exchange for this

Tech.Masti · 13-11-2007, 02:05 PM

they have no idea about such scheme, they told me to go to main office

i think BSNL WLL is service is based on CDMA technology, so wherever WLL service is available there ICC should work, but i am not a expert, so not sure.....

Exactly. If there is good coverage for BSNL WLL phone, then you can expect good coverage for ICC too.

Also, the tel exchange people may not have a clue on this. Can't blame em, proper instructions are not given even at higher level.

Contact the BSNL Commercial Office or DGM office in your area. They will sure help you.

dark_king · 13-11-2007, 07:54 PM

As for the information i gathered from BSNL office in different places .i concluded at some things. all the towers that supports dot support CDMA 1x data support

@Tech.Masti
as for the information BSNL is still behind all the CDMA operators

. all the BSNL CDMA towers r not up to date, they r basically made for voice calls only. as BSNL's most CDMA towers only support 14.5 Kbps data speed .

so they r upgrading all the towers . even if there is WLL service in some areas they actually dont even support CDMA 1x data (144 Kbps) .

BSNL is upgrading all the towers in major cities only . they have no intention for upgrading the towers for EVDO support in other areas as they r at testing phase only . so we all have to wait quit a long time rather than big city peoples .
