i watch outsourced TV series, do check it.

U are saying about a variant not the original product.
Our example may not be perfect but it does not mean u can say it is bad in its entirety.

We are improving day by day.

Mobile Number Portability ClearingHouse treating "NO RESPONSE" from operator means REJECTION of PORT-OUT request.

Vodafone successfully utilized this & troubling its Premium(Higher Bill Pay) Subscribers.

When you start calling Vodafone Customer Care to ask for PORT-OUT Status, simply they tell you(After putting you on HOLD for 2-3 mins) that "Sorry Sir, we didn't received request from any operator. So its better to contact new operator where you submitted your PORT-IN request".

Like this they(Vodafone) simply waste 7days time & when Mobile Number Portability ClearingHouse didn't receive any response from existing operator, they REJECT your Mobile Number Portability request without giving any REASON or sometimes with S.H.I.T.T.Y Reason. :cry:

Regarding this, I already mailed to Mobile Number Portability Cell & waiting for their reply(I don't think they gonna reply).:wall:

I had not even heard of them till I saw this thread & googled. As such they are not covering many areas where "I" believe most of the forum users might be from. Hence the lukewarm interest.

tata sky is making us fool. they were ready with DVR technology already but they sold us plane junk HD boxes. And now they want to sell us DVR boxes with out exchange to previous box. We should not be very interested in acompany like this who think their customers are fool.

u just missed the 4200/2500/2000 party !

Probably u have only one option of going in for 1499 unlimited plan now...
other limited plans are nt recommended.

Any users of airtel's 3G-The worse 3G plans till date !

plz feel free to share your (horrible) experiences....
and what's ur view on the current tariff....

RIM Developing Software to Run Android Apps on PlayBook

Well it will be cool if it actually happens - Blackberry OS capable of running Android Apps

It has already become middle income...
Our economy/GDP is now near 1.7trillion $...:irock:
we are now in the top ten probably..:wewin:
people are now earning more..:redface:

India now on middle income path - Home - livemint.com

Any more user reviews of this service...
looks like their plans are not getting advertisement !

by the way plans are really good..

well the average income of a household in Hiranandani estate is substantially higher than other areas in Thane. It is considered as a upmarket place. There are about 50000+ people living here. So i would say that a little advertising in that area would do wonders.

Here is a sample SMS which I got from new operator(They sent this SMS when they got successful PORT-OUT confirmation from existing operator):
This kind of confirmation message you gonna receive at-least 8-10 hrs before the actual PORTing takes place. So you can utilize this time to make calls/SMS & EMPTY your current balance. :happy:

If above are the output messages then this USB modem working as USB Storage drive.
Look for loaded modules using command

lsmod

- usb_storage 34392 0

above messages should be output.

it means your need to remove this module use below command

rmmod usb_storage

Now you have to look for your Product and Vendor ID use below command

lsusb

Now you have to use software utility called usb_modswitch, you have to
configure file usb_modeswitch.conf it in /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf. Make a
copy of this file, store with another name at same location /etc/.
Remove all entries except for your USB, here I will explain

If I plugged my USB and when I do lsusb and below are my entries

....
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 1c9e:6061
....

here is my config file /etc/bsnl_usb_modeswitch.conf, keep below entries only remove
all other unnecessary information,

################################################## ######

################################################## ######

above messages should be output.


But at DefaultVendor, TargetVendor you should enter your USB modem Vendor ID using lsusb
command, and at DefaultProduct, TargetProduct you should enter your USB modem Product ID.

Then use command

usb_modeswitch -c /etc/bsnl_usb_modeswitch.conf

- Looking for target devices ...

above messages should be output.

Now you have to load correct driver for your USB modem, use below command

modprobe -v option

- insmod /lib/modules/2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i686.PAE/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko
- insmod /lib/modules/2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i686.PAE/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usb_wwan.ko
- insmod /lib/modules/2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i686.PAE/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/option.ko

above messages should be output.

Now activate this drivers for your USB modem use command

echo "1c9e 6061" > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id

Now look for dmesg logs using command

dmesg | tail -n10

- USB Serial support registered for GSM modem (1-port)
- usbcore: registered new interface driver option
- option: v0.7.2:USB Driver for GSM modems
- option 1-2.3:1.0: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected

- option 1-2.3:1.3: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected
- usb 1-2.3: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB3

above messages should be output.

Now you are on track of connecting now you have to use utility called
wvdial, but before that u have to configure /etc/wvdial.conf. If there are
any entries allready, then make a copy of this file, here is my configuration
file (/etc/wvdial.conf). I am using BSNL 3G network in Pune

[Dialer hsdpa]
Phone = *99#
Username = null
Password = null
Stupid Mode = 1
Dial Command = ATDT
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 115200
Init2 = ATZ
Init3 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ISDN = 0
Auto Reconnect = off
Dial Attempts = 1
Modem Type = Analog Modem
obtain APN = 0
use APN = 1
APN = bsnlnet
IP modal = 1
obtain PDP = 1
PAP modal = 1
obtain DNS = 1


In APN phase(APN = bsnlnet) you have to use your service provider APN name.
There is 1 more file called /etc/ppp/options which you have to use
below is my /etc/ppp/options file

/dev/ttyUSB0
115200
debug
noauth
noipdefault
defaultroute
usepeerdns
crtscts
lock
kdebug 7

lcp-echo-failure 4
lcp-echo-interval 30
lcp-max-configure 10

ipcp-max-failure 10
ipcp-max-configure 10
-ccp
-vj
refuse-chap
refuse-mschap
refuse-mschap-v2
refuse-eap
#name
#show-password

Now your all configuration is complete use below command now

wvdial hsdpa

--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.61
--> Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.

--> Script /etc/ppp/ip-up run successful
--> Default route Ok.
--> Nameserver (DNS) Ok.
--> Connected... Press Ctrl-C to disconnect

above are the messages you will get.

There is 1 file called /etc/resolv.conf. If it has allready entries
then no need for u to insert new entries, if don't then insert below
entries, it is used to solve DNS, I repeat this file is dependent on
your area(Country, State, City). Below entries are for country India,
Maharashtra,

File is /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 218.248.240.181
nameserver 208.67.220.220



Thank You

No and No. I've only seen reports of it in Bangalore and Hyderabad in selected locations.

Hello,

Okay, I'm a real newbie to configuring routers. This is a Beetel 450BXI wireless router I have here with Airtel broadband connection.

When I login to access the DSL settings of the router at 192.168.1.1, the interface I see is completely different from what it is suppose to be, according to Airtel customer care as well as the screenshots I have seen on the internet.

Also, there is NO option to configure wireless anywhere. The MAC filtering is enabled and I see no option/list anywhere to add new MAC addresses or even view the current authorized MAC's. (just to add, my MAC is authorized but I don't see it anywhere).

Here is how the interface looks, which is different from the default:

I am using BSNL provided Teracom USB Data Card 7.2mbps. Speed is good at certain hours, but at other times I don't get good speed. These days even some of the websites don't load properly. I have to keep refreshing the page. Finding the Internet unstable on 3G. In fact this Forum site is also unstable on 3G now.
So now using the Wired broadband to post this message.

Thats my story. Now back to my question:

1) If I purchase UMG 1831, will I get better performance on BSNL 3G? Few weeks back BSNL Technical team came to my home and according to them the Signal strength is very good.

2) In some post I noticed that UMG 1831 supports WiFi. Does it mean that when I am connected this to my Desktop PC, can my Laptop share the Internet using wifi?

3) UMG 1831 - The online seller's are busy selling the product. But what about the product warranty? Are there products with bill(Guarantee) or without bill(Guarantee)?

4) Any known issues with this device as of today?

Thanks for you time.

Just wanted to clarify. These Twitter IDs are not connected to this forum.

E5 got new firmware launched for India ! its become faster now.

Anyone from Kolkata can comment on the GPRS/EDGE speed of TATA DOCOMO. I am thinking of porting my Airtel number to TATA DOCOMO only for GPRS. Airtel's GPRS/EDGE speed S**Ks. Browsing is very slow. And I get a maximum download speed of 8-12Kbps. So anyone from Kolkata, using TATA DOCOMO, can tell me how is the GPRS speed. Also please tell me how is the network coverage & any other problem related to the service.

Thankyou....

India is getting little hectic for modern technology. So much policy, Fair Usage Policy, capping....
We need a modern and straight forward policy and smart approach.

Story of my Experience with Reliance Digital

1st: I bought multiroom connection, the fool activated my each connection as individual standalone connection:madness:
what happened next: Solved (giving birth to second problem) in almost 20 days, many request numbers, many phone calls, reached nodal officer

2nd: When they converted to multiroom connection, i had almost 180 bucks in each account (In total 360 bucks). After conversion ZERO Balance in main account and transferred that balance to child connection which is TOTALLY UNUSABLE & DOES NOT COUNT.:impissed::@
what happened next: 9 Days passed

Another feather in the hat of BIG TV:
3rd: They did solved second issue BUT changed my NAME, NATIONALITY, PHONE NUMBER, ADDRESS by another name RANADOMLY :wall::ishock:
What happens next: Talked customer Care they said they have forwarded the concern with their HIGHLY TRAINED TALENTED TECHNICAL TEAM. :hysterical::huh:

I think Customer care and reliance digital TV team loves me so they keep troubling me.:O

Mr. Ambani you seems interested in recovering your customer care salary by bothering your customers continously. :icry::icry::icry:

Mr. Admin & guys please help what should i do with these people.:frown:

@admin - ah, I guess this is one of the threads where you mentioned warthog tried to ask how much you earn.

The only problem with this software is that you will need to enter all of the Indian ISP's DNS servers to this program for it to be useful.

It won't automatically find the nearest nameservers to you or anything like that - the included list is prepopulated with those of large US ISPs.

BBG Combo ULD 1350 > 4 Mbps upto 20 GB, 512 Kbps beyond 20 GB > No night unlimited. Once you cross the 20 GB limit, you get 512 Kbps.

Yes, it is true.

blogspot blogs are back.

For a note above recording have following FAIL(s) :
1) Yes I'm valuable customer , so much valuable that even they have wrong number
2) No verification on customer name and blah blah
3) Who is Sapna BTW :P
4) See quality of voice I get , very hard to listen :|

never tried installing third party OS since it'll void warrenty on my phone.

Yeah true... How did you get the account number? I don't know how to find my account number..

Pls help me
m not able to view the fta channels
my subscription got over yesterday
pls help

they are thinking we are fools. Few users can beat their infrastructure and with 256-2056kbps speed :P. I think UNLIMITED means in terms of data and speed should be not data only.

I checked out a initiative of JAGO PARTY. Why dont u ppl Visit ::WELCOME TO JAGO PARTY::

Yaa The only thing a user can do with his airtel connection is .. just READ Online Newspapers Wid the crappy Fair Usage Policy.

With umg1831 in ahmedabad

and in my sig the speed is with teracomm 3.6mbps

Hi all,

I've been reading posts on this section for quite a while. I recently shifted to a township in outskirts of the city, so no telephone infrastructure there :madness::madness:
So decided to close my Airtel BB and get BSNL 3G. Got the 3G sim yesterday, but they said it cant be activated until monday. (today is Second Saturday :wall:).

What i want to ask is:

1. How do I get it activated if I want to use it on an open market 3g data card (what FRC should I go for)?
2. What open market data card should I use? I'm from Indore (MP) so the west zone thing probably applies to me. Also not interested in UMG1831, since I want a 7.2mbps card only and I want a card which is factory unlocked (which UMG1831 isn't).
3. How is Huawei E173 for my location and how's the overall performance with BSNL 3G?

Thanks in anticipation...:urock::urock:

Hahaha!! What to say to these guys? they just dont read... why do they need phone number when the complaint number has been given?

these are great Cricket news and i like them so much and i hope this time World Cup will be interested more then our expectations .

Lol, yeah in MIT. Well dude, my hostel block has shitty docomo service. So I really couldn't help it. N besides, I can always shift. I'll probably take Aircel next.

any1 from calcutta who r using the bsnl 3g let me know abt their experience coz i want to get that for the family to use but have been hearing that in Cal there r a lot of prob with bsnl regarding speed and connectivity. I stay near south city mall - Lake Gardens, so if anyone used it in that area let me know abt the speed and connectivity there!! :)

Hey is the BSNL 3g card available in mumbai and i see 1499 with unlimited download looks a steal

Give the name bsnlnet. change APN to bsnlnet if blank. (in my phone it took same apn as sccess point name.)
When browsing use this access point.

We have seen that tatasky has launched active sports for world cup which will have multiple camera angles and multifeed commentary.Although I have tatasky, but i will not activate the sports channel on it as I have all sports channels activated on my dishtv.So I am asking that will dishtv launch sports active for world cup ?? Both tatasky and dishtv provided sports active for the previous world cup in 2007. Can we expect the same this year too ?? :isleep::isleep::isleep:
