[Jaskanwar Singh]

i got a reliance netconnect 3g yesterday. today the connect button showed up in software. but whenever i press connect, it says connect failed.

signal strength - 19.
apn - rcomnet
dial number - *99#
also some 40'H,ME ERROR comes up.
then connect failed.

check your reliance no. is activated by calling it from another no.

erm..but i only bought a netconnect 3g. not a calling sim.

 

[whitestar_999]

but it must use a sim & like any other sim it has to be activated first.if you can open netconnect open it & take out sim & put it in a phone & try calling it from another phone.if you don't feel comfortable doing it then ask the person from whom you purchased it to check if the sim is activated yet.

ya but i didnt get any number for that sim. although i did put it in mobile, it showed signal and detected as reliance.

ok will wait a bit more. otherwise take it to that person.

there must be a sim no. on sim.call reliance CC & tell them this sim no. to check if it is activated yet.

edit:did some digging.it seems like such types of sims sold with devices like netconnect are data sims & don't have any voice facilities.however just like normal sims they too require filling up a form for activation.

ya, it started working now on its own.
maybe just got activated
