EVDO IN NAGPUR ?

[mmmishea]

We people at Nagpur, Still Starve for EVDO, and pay EVDO charges. Any idea abt launching of EVDO network in Nagpur ?

^ Even in bangalore we have paid for EVDO while using CDMA 1x network. And still we are paying for it. This is what everyone feels when ppl few states are already able to access EVDO network at the same price.

In bangalore the schedule as been delayed and postponed to 1 month. So it will be here by the end of this month or 1st week of may.

So you ppl in nagpur may still have to wait, unfortunately a long haul. Please Keep bugging those BSNL officials and get the updates and update us as well.

Giga, if you don't get EVDO services you may submit a letter to AOTR and ask for refund, AOTR after checking with the Exchange officer may refund the money (refund is only at the closure time, in your case it will be credited in your account) For this , billing server should be modified . When Evdo services started you may again notify the exchange authorities to change plan services to EVDO,..
with regards,

^ Nope, I dont want to get the refund and i'm cool enough to wait for the EVDO roll out. But for me, who was stuck on MO for 8 months, even CDMA 1x feels like a broadband Guests cannot see images in the messages. Please register in our forum for free by clicking here to see images. And In fact, there is no need of getting a refund, coz we pay 550 for CDMA 1x and the same for EVDO. I think 550 for CDMA 1x is quite worthy for people on the move. And btw, the speeds are always higher then mentioned (theoretical) !

Anyway thanks for you suggestion and it helps others.

actually the cdma 1x unlimited rent is Rs 250.

[Gigacore]

^ even the EVDO unlimted rent is 250 Rs / Month if u purchase the device for 3500 Rs

[mmmishea]

here at nagpur, if i pruchase the device, then EVDO rent is Rs.550(some thing like 300 plan charges + 250 EVDO rent), if Device on rent then +200 = Rs. 750/-

so EVDO with device on rent is 300+250 + device rental 200 = 750/-(exclusive of taxes)
EVDO without device on rent(device purchased) is 300+250 = 550/-(exclusive of taxes)

are these charges same every where around india?

[Gigacore]

^ my god, here if we purchase the device for 3.5k then the monthly charges is 250 Rs for CDMA 1x / EVDO is 250 Rs, if not on rental its 550 Rs

But is u take connection in BSNL CDMA TARANG limited mobility mobile or fwt, then the monthly rental is 250/-, for unlimited acces, but the speed will always be limitted to 144.44 kbps even after launching of EVDO. Same if the case for pcimcia NIC cards.

Thanks god. At last, I am an EVDO ian. Nagpur is Blessed With EV-DO. I must accept that waiting resulted in fruitfull result for me, though very late, but now getting EV-DO and good speed, About 800-900 kbps highest and average 600-650 kilobit/second, with idm download speed of 50 to 102 Kilo Byte/second.
Suerly, much better and much cheaper than any broadband unlimited plan in india. EV-Do RoX.
