Promotional MTNL DELHI 3G unlimited plans w.e.f. 31.01.2011

[Topweb]

I get disconnected every hour or so. I don't know whether it is MTNL or Huawei UMG1831.

There is some problem with UMG1831 modem.

Get a Micromax modem and problem will be resolved.

Topweb which micromax modem do we get?

----------

does anyone know if we can insert the 3g sim into a 3g usb dongle and plug it into a wifi router to share the connection?

use TP-Link MR3220 to share 3G dongle connection on wifi and lan.
costs around 2200-2500

check the compatibility befor you buy micromax modems

appreciate the replies, the micromax mmx400r mifi seems great as i wouldnt need another wifi router but the drawback is range is only 10m on the otherhand if i buy the TP-Link MR3220 its another good solution but i need to buy a 3G usb dongle separately and plug it in (no point buying the micromax mfi in this case as it would be more expensive than just buying a usb 3G dongle to plug into the MR3220)Is anyone aware of a wifi router which directly accepts a SIM card? This would be the cheapest and best solution as wouldnt have to buy a separate 3G usb dongle. i found one on the internet but have no idea how reliable it is "Bigpond 3G Wireless Router – 7.2" anyone have any suggestion on this or can suggest another wifi router which directly accepts a 3G SIM card? thx

routers with built in 3gmodem costs around 4500 plus....

----------

the dongle+router combination is better... bcz if you are going out of town... u just need to plug out the 3g dongle and carry it instead of full 3g router which has built in 3g modem.

Use "Reconnect" software for this disconnection issue and stop suggesting buying alternative modemI use UMG 1831 there will be some 5 to 6 disconnection a day but it will be connected immediately bcz if reconnect... Whatever modem one goes, it may not matter as there will be a disconnection issue from MTNL as well..

thks guys .... i was quite impressed by this Bigpond 3G Wireless Router – 7.2 as you can directly insert a SIM card into it ..... but as theres no report i will probably avoid and go for 3G USB dongle + wifi router. One more question please ...... do you find this to be a better connection in terms or reliability and speed (portability is not a consideration for me) as compared to MTNL 1mbs unlimited connection for Rs1100 (including tax) per month?

expect some problems when network is busy and in rains also it wont be stable...

^Ya, because MTNL's 1 Mbps is for 999+tax, and this one is for 750pm(prepaid) and speed generally remains over 1 Mbps
