New connection help with recharge

[cmsivasubramanian]

^ i purchased RUIM sim separately for 350rs.And evdo modem seperately.I get evdo speeds.I first bought a modem from ebay (mts ac2766 unlocked) since there was no stock in bsnl csc.later i got prithvi modem.As far as i know evdo modem is what needs to be registered properly(bsnl people should have already done that),nothing to do with the sim.

Visited Bhilai area BSNL CSC they are telling me that esn number of evdo was required to register for evdo connection but that was about 2 year ago.
the problem is my room which is in ground floor with closed ventilation and brick wall next to it
tried by taking laptop on the first floor and the speed was about 120-140 kbps in IDM(direct file download) at about 2pm.
so now i am sure its because my room that the signals are bad is there some way to boost my signal so i can use evdo inside my room???
i have same modem prithvi form bsnl
is there some kind of antenna or signal booster which i can use with prithvi modem to increase signal strength?

 

[cmsivasubramanian]

For me too..At d first floor at certain times i get 250+kb/sec stable ..But after 5.30pm it starts reducing amd until morning usually remains betweem 100-200 max..but in the morning goes above 250

So is there something with which i can increase signal strength on ground floor in my room i mean i cant always take my laptop to download files on the 1st floor...?

Even i dont get good speed in ground floor.Havent come across any technique that gives guarenteed results

thanks, finally got the recharge rs 55. just one problem i am not using datacard instead i am using evdo mobile samsung sch s239 and whenever i connect it goes to 1x network
could it be that BSNL has not activated EVDO on my number or its just my mobile's problem

HI! How did you get Rs. 55 recharge. i'm from gujarat and got new evdo connection.

Tried Freecharge, Paytm for topup and stv (special) recharge. Everything failed and balance refunded.
Rs. 50 for topups on both sites
Rs. 55 STV/Special Recharge on both sites.

Failed..

Let me know your solution. Thanks.

You sure you are trying to recharge the right number? Its not the one you use in the connection manager.

In gujarat there is only one number i.e. the mobile number and for connection following details are used:
Dial Number: #777
Username : password:- cdma:cdma

I do not have data card with me. And have not inserted the sim card in any device as of now. Bsnl has not data card in stock. Gonna get used bsnl data card from someone but wanted to complete the recharge of Rs. 20 & Rs. 55 so that same can be tested on that data card that I'm gonna buy from other guy.

Also went to local bsnl office nearby and told them to recharge with Rs. 20 & Rs. 55 (stv) both recharge failed with message invalid denomination.

It is possible recharge are failing as sim has has never been inserted in any device?

Furthermore, have you ever tried direct stv recharge of Rs. 55 or Rs. 825 from any site like freecharge, Paytm, mobikwik etc ? (without topup & sms, genext website activation method)

What do you think?
