hey madhan r u frm bangalore??? wer did u got dis card??? n hw cum v get to kno whether wll signals r der in ma place o not??? plzzzzz reply
hey **Pmadhan*** r u der??
1) 250 pm for unlimited service + 200 for renting of the card. That makes it 450 + taxes. Remember you need to pay this in advance - meaning you pay at the beginnin of Jan, for using till end Jan.
2) Yes, you need BSNL CDMA tower/signals. How to find out ... Easiest would be if anyone has a BSNL WLL Phone - take it to your place and check if it works and if so the signal strength. The respective outdoor office of the BSNL Exchange you are attached are also supposed to provide you this information.
3) Rs.1500/- is the deposit for taking the EVDO Card on rental basis.
4) No BSNL Landline or mobile is required to avail this service. You need a identity proof and address proof.
5) At the moment, I with just 1x and low signal strength in many areas - it may not be a better option than other mobile cards. However, when EVDO is introduced, I expect this service will win hands down. Also, BSNL is planning for more CDMA towers, and one is expected to come up shortly in BTM, which will increase the signal strength. Similarly in other areas, and nation wide too.
Reg me, yes I'm from Bangalore and living in BTM 2nd Stage.
Like I said, BSNL Outdoor office folks are supposed to help you, or simply try to get someone who has the BSNL Tarang (WLL Phone) and check out the signals.
Sorry for the delay as I was out of town.
Hi All,
2.In city range its good (heard from people using it).
3.In rural it depends and not that good.

Don't go by this, you will be disappointed. There are enough places in the city where you will find the signal to be pretty bad. They are working on beefing up the infrastructure. Things can only get better.
Hi All,
Yesterday only got one new EVDO card..
1.U dont need any CDMA phones to use this.
2.In city range its good (heard from people using it).
3.In rural it depends and not that good.
4.Cost initial investment 1500Rs which BSNL people are telling refundable.
5.Rent not sure few are telling 650 (including modem rental) few are telling 850 + tax.
It is not activated so once activated i will give you further informations.So if anybody else using this for last few months can share your experience and billing details.
Thanks

I have used b/B correctly. 258 kBps = 258 * 8 = 2064 kbps
I wish to also mention one thing that i think the service u have used at ur native place 1X service. For a proof check the dialer top part. If ur conected to the EVDO service it will show \"EVDO\" not \"1X\".
Please find the dialer image here

The confusion was because you posted, 2.4 MBps and not 2.4 Mbps, in your original post. Good to hear you get good speeds. We are still awaiting the launch of EVDO in Bangalore. Right now only CDMA 1x is available. BTW, can you confirm, the light you see on the EVDO card glow green.
Thanks,
Sorry for missprint .
Its 2.4 megabits (2.4 Mbps).
Sorry Rock_Daring, did not see these posts. BTW, just checked out your image posting. It rocks. really. Hope they launch EVDO in Blr soon.
