BSNL EVDO Broadband -REV-A (3.1 mbps) in chennai

[srk006]

@aces27The price increase is not for 144kbps cards. It is for EVDO cards. The 144 kbps data cards work on cdma 1x and it will cost Rs.250 only.

Vaithy,Appreciate your time in answering queries here. If BSNL customer service was any good - you would not be spending time here!i have a question for which I am still trying to find a answer. I live in the Ashok Nagar area and have the old EVDO card and get reasonably good speeds. A few months back, I read on your website that national roaming has been activated and by paying Rs 100 more - this EVDO card would work allover India.I called BSNL and they said they are not aware about this. Can you, for the benefit of this community guide us as to what the process is for activating national roaming on already existing EVDO cards? Where to take this card - to which office, etc etc? No one at BSNL seems to have any idea about this.Thanks

 

[Vaithy]

If roaming is enabled in Chennai then the chennai.bsnl.co.in website should show the Plan as 650/- not as 550/- the old rate.The first priority here is upgrade the CDMA towers to EVDO -REv-A ..actually my understanding of functionality of evdo is very limited.. so unless I got confirmation I couldn't post any information.. As I understand Roaming is only in select circles.. If chenaai bsnl enabled it they will change the tariff to new rates and will post the message in their web sites..any way I'll try to ascertain the facts.. thanks you,

Are you using LINUX OS?
I think you should try with XP/Vista or windows 7.
Not sure about this I am not familiar with Linux.
Setup BSNL EVDO USB Modem in Linux | BSNL EVDO
2.
In your computer/desktop/laptop
copy paste here this data
Ipconfig /all ( do not edit) data
Also Check WLAN
If the Icon appears
"show available wireless networks"
or status or repair option.
What is/are the error message/s ?

any way can some one advice how to identify the device capable of Rev A. I went to the bangalore Kamanahally and Banaswadi office and They dont know any technical details . Shame on them and there is not even a proper person to answer technical query .I checked ZTE Rev 0 ( what is currently being sold ). It connects to EVdo But again drops to 1x. So dropped plan for buying it .Let me know when to buy and what device to buy since there is no stock currently in Blr and May be like Vaithy has said,they might be introducing new version of EVDO.

Hi Frirends!!Can anyone please update about the EV-DO Rev.A service availability in Anna Nagar locality in Chennai...!! I am expecting these govt. Babus to start the service... else atleast upgrade the speed in UL plans.ShreeRaman

Annanager is high scrapper area, where the EVDO signal stopped by High rised buildings except in top floor in open area.. nearest open area is koyambedu BTS so how many k.m you are residing..If you actually want connection quickly you can contact Customer Relation Manager(CRM) Shri.Narasimhan, at BSNL Office 40,CIPET Road, Tiru ViKa Industrial Estate.. Just take a MTC bus from Annanager to Tambaram route and alight near guindy estate stop just a couple of walking distance.. I know a customer who come from Avadi to meet him(instead of going to local office) and provided the EVDO connection within 20 minutes.. Even appreciated this to GM who in turn circulated the news to motivated other staff...
