From your post itself - BSNL data card, being CDMA falls in the 32 bit category.

And yes, my PCI-to-PCMCIA adapter looks like the one in your post, but it didn't work for the BSNL card. Something with signal / pc metal body / antena I think. Tested in 3 PCs and same result, that is why I mentioned do not go for the adapter.

I bought a EVDO USB Wireless Data Terminal Today...

They said they will take 24 Hrs to activate....

I have a doubt.......... The device has a R-UIM card slot... but the R-UIM card is not provided with the device.... So i went back to BSNL office and asked... how will this work without the R-UIM card... they sai "It doesn't requires any card... Almost all the people whi purchases this will as the same thing!" So i came back home.. i installed the device... Its not yet activated...

Do we need the R-UIM card?

@Gigacore

The CDMA card was similar, I mean it has R-UIM card slot. But no R-UIM card. And it is working perfectly. So I guess it is same with the EVDO.

Also, please post your experience here after using the EVDO device ok ?

Aaaw :( Thats really sad. You didn't check the coverage before you buy it ? ? Yes, if the coverage is not good, you will not get much speed.

Would you please post the pics / interface details (software) etc ? And did you contact the BSNL guys regarding EVDO ? Sure it is not launched yet ?

Dont buy EVDO in Bangalore now!!!!!!!!!

The interface is USB.... It is just a Credit Card Sized device... it has a rotatable antenna... it weighs around 100 gm... has a small LED

Its ZTE USB MODEM 6000 (which i've never heard of)


Dont buy EVDO in Bangalore now!!!!!!!!!
The EVDO is still not enabled all over the bangalore which must have offered 2.4 Mbps.. but at this moment they are still offering only 1x Network (144 Kbps) and even 1x network is not available in most of the places... I asked the BSNL customer support staff in the regarding the EVDO network... he said "We are still working on it... Till then use 1x !!!" If u are on dialup/ gprs dialup/ BB.. please dont switch to EVDO now.

EDIT: i dont have a good cam at the moment so........

^ well its not actually 1x card that i have recieved from BSNL.. its EVDO... the thing is the EVDO network is not yet established. As u can see EV-DO is written in place where CDMA 1x is written on Reliance card..

The Box.. and notice the antenna..

This is how it looks while its connected. Notice the small LED.. actually it blinks... Yellow Blink indicates the existance of 1x Network and Green Blink indicates EV-DO... i'm getting Yellow Blink.


And guys its actually NOT BAD!! When we connect the speed will be very less about 26 Kbps.. and as we start browsing and downloading the speed increases gradually like 56 Kbps, 80 Kbps, 100 Kbps, 115 Kbps, 138 Kbps, 140 Kbps and so on.. the max speed will be attained within 2 minutes after the connection is established. The Max speed i got this morning was 168 Kbps which is above normal.... and the speed is actually increases by itself depending on the sites we are opening .. say for example we are opening some huge sites like download.com.. if the speed was 100 Kbps it increases at about 115 - 120 Kbps and so on..

Overall if anyone is disgusted using dialup and fed up of paying huge bills i would sure recommend this little thing.. which is really some thing better then the regular download speeds.. in my case i got the mere 12 - 16 KBps from fast servers...

Still the EVDO plan from BSNL is in initial stages... so still we dont have much ads about it.. As soon as they establish more towers and implement EVDO everywhere... sure we'll be getting 2.4 Mbps.. without any doubt...
