internet sharing using 3gumts hsdpa usb modem

Posted: 30 Jan 2011 03:02 AM PST

@smnrock,
i watched Connectify video carefully. Thanks dear for your inputs.
But my desktop hasn't wireless capability. I already have purchased umg1831 for 3k. plus monthly 3g usage charges so do not want to make any further expense. Therefore i was wondering if i could use my old ADSL WLAN router. I remember i had shared files between my laptop and desktop using ADSL WLAN router few months before.

@Hok
Thanks Hok,
I do not have lan card but my brother has if you tell me how to share net connection or suggest me any tutor will be appreciated.
regards.

Airtel 3G FAQs

Posted: 30 Jan 2011 02:57 AM PST

Quote:
1. I have not subscribed to airtel 3G services, yet my phone is showing 3G!
Your handset will display the 3G/3.5G symbol in areas where the service is available. 3G plans do not get auto-activated and must be subscribed to. To subscribe all you have to do is SMS 3G to 121.

2. At 30p/ 20 KB, airtel 3G seems very expensive for me!
We offer users a variety of plans optimized for different levels of usage and requirements, you should choose a plan that is right for you:

Pay as You Go: designed for users who access the internet on mobile only occasionally, this plan ensures no upfront commitment of a daily, weekly or monthly spend. At 30p/20 KB, or Rs 15/1 mb
Note: this plan is not optimal for regular and heavy users, we have different plans designed for them.

Sachet plans: designed for users who have short term requirements (1 - 3 days) of accessing the internet on mobile. Users can opt for:
1 day pack which gives 10 mb of data usage at Rs 9 (or 1.8p/20 KB)
3 day pack which gives 65 mb of data usage at Rs 60 (or ~ 18.5p/20 KB)

Medium data users: designed for users do not have very heavy data usage requirements we offer the following:
3 day pack which gives 100 mb of data usage at Rs 103 (or 20.6p/ 20 KB)
30 day pack which gives 250 mb of data usage at Rs 200 (or 20 p/ 20 KB)

Heavy data users: available in 30 day packs users can opt for plans based on their data usage requirements:
30 day pack which gives 600 mb of data usage at Rs 450 (or 15 p/ 20 KB)
30 day pack which gives 2 gb of data usage at Rs 750 (or 7.5 p/ 20 KB)

Power users can also take benefit of single FlexiShield plan which allows at a reasonable rent of Rs.675 an unlimited usage which is a mix of free usage at 3G speed, a very low VBC rate of 1p/100KB at 3G speed, and a zero paise VBC after Rs 2000 bill-value at a throttled speed.

For more details on the plans and for help with calculating mobile internet usage to determine the plan best suited for users, please visit: http://www.airtel.in/Airtel-3G/tariff_chart.html

3. I have heard that once I opt for 3G, my 2G plans are cancelled. What if I want to switch back to 2G?
airtel 3g data plans can be used on 2G network too. Even after activating 3G, you can recharge with 2G data pack and can enjoy data services on 2G network. For eg. airtel 2G data pack (Rs.98) will also work on 3G network but at 2G speed (40kbps).

4. How much data can I actually consume in your FlexiShield plan?
Users can access access 4500 emails, 1000+ photos uploads, 1500 web pages views and much more within the monthly rental of Rs 675. For further details check out the calculator here: http://www.airtel.in/Airtel-3G/tariff_chart.html

5. I opted for 3G, but don't see web pages loading much faster than they did on my 2G plan. What good is 3G to me?
Delivered 3G throughput speed is about 20X times faster than 2G speed. Web pages optimized for mobiles and wap portals are usually around 10 kb in size, and hence you may not notice a discernable difference in your browsing experience. Viewing web pages not optimized for mobiles, viewing videos, uploading and downloading images, sending & receiving emails with attachments is where you will enjoy a significantly enhanced browsing experience on 3G.

6. airtel's 3G tariffs with limits on free data usage have no meaning for me. How can you use today's devices to their fullest with such mediocre limits. Why have these limits?
We offer a range of plans optimized to different usage patterns. We have plans that offer as much as 2 gb of data usage in a 30 day period, these are comparable and in many cases exceed regular broadband plans available to user who access data on their laptops and computers. For power users, we offer the FlexiShield plan which allows them to manage their monthly usage while enjoying the world of 3G. Also you can use the flexishield plan for a higher data download plan.

2GB is heavy usage? Seriously?

7. When will 3G be launched in my city?
We will roll out 3G services in the 13 circles where we have a license by March 2011. We are working on partnering with the best service providers in the other circles, to offer our users airtel 3G.

8. What is the point of having free data in packs if it is not applicable on roaming?
This is comparable with voice and even voice packs don't work while roaming.

Your 98 rupee 2GB 2G plan offers free roaming. I hope you realize that!

PayPal has now started getting worse

Posted: 30 Jan 2011 02:52 AM PST

so... PayPal does not want to operate as a bank in India. I do not see why we can blame them for that decision. Acting as a bank would make them a slave of the indian government... who would want to be in that situation. :D

BSNL 3G: Suggest Me... Huawei K4505 (or) Huawei UMG1831?

Posted: 30 Jan 2011 02:15 AM PST

If you're not having any issues with your current firmware, better not update it. Anyways, end of the day its yours choice.

I'm facing disconnection problem with new firmware. I know there are others who want to revert back to old firmware because of the same.

Docomo network disconnects every half an hour !!

PS. I'm from the south.

Wireline broadband is always better than wireless(atleast for now). Wait & watch.....3G is for mobile usage(many claim download speed from 1-5 mbps but couldn't browse). If your area has no good coverage (data modem - 3000 + recharge coupon -4200) then you'll lose a lot of money in vain. AFAIK Wimax & upcoming LTE are the future for true data downloads.
