Can anyone having UMG 1831 confirm whether that modem supports voice calls or not? Does it use the same Mobile Partner software ?

Just got my UMG 1831.... the build feels really good. Inserted my sim and was online in 5 mins. works perfectly fine. Just wished it had support for voice calls or atleast USSD. Right now, I'm not able to check my balance on sim card which I usually do by sending *123#

What are the speeds you are getting, and how is the signal strength.

 

[netguru1]

Seems to be similar to my E1752 as of now. Getting around 2 Mbps

Got my UMG 1831 working today, getting good download speeds, but BSNL messed up big time, they did not activate 1 week free unlimiated data download for me. My balance has gone to - 10 and internet has stopped working. I have raised a complaint online hoping for some solution. Also these sms from 50030 are a pain, every day i am getting 15 to 20 sms form them on data usage. Any one else faced a similar issue of balance getting deducted during the free 1 week period.
