From the reviews over the internet forums it is found that this Huawei card is far far better than one sold by BSNL vendors.

How is your experience with 1831 data card. I read a lot of complaints from bsnl 3g users about performance of the connection using this card.
people says that it doesn’t have voice and video calling features. i read it in the forum below.
http://www.indiabroadband.net/bsnl-3g/33578-please-help-me-about-umg1831.html
are you able to make video or atleast voice calls with it. bcoz without these features it looks costly.
You can use software called ‘Mobile Partner’ for voice calling with Huawei UMG1831 3G USB Data Card Modem.
Till I dont have ne issue and getting good speed upto 2.5 – 3Mbps most of the times
what is the cost of this and where is available in delhi
thanks
I bought it from ebay.. for 2800/-
Hi,
Can you provide me the link for the latest version of Mobile Partner? I’m using 11.302.09.00.03 version.
will it works on XP SP3?
Yes, it will .. no issues.
It has problem working on tata docomo network.
Has any body tested with tata docomo network, with 3G pack activated?
Dear Harsh,
I have E1550 & Connect through T-Mobile Web Connect. It says Roaming Charge Applied. After Click on OK I can Connect with BSNL. So, Please tell me Is there Any Charges for it? Or Please help Me for Connect with it Via Mobile Partner. My OS is Windows XP SP3.
I am living in Ahmedabad. Gujarat.
Waiting for your reply about same. If possible please give me mail for it.
Thanks in Advance.
No idea about the msg you are getting as I never heard about it. BSNL 3g does not have any roaming charges but for calling their may be roaming. Mobile Partner is indeed very easy to use.. just install .. configure..
Happy Surfing!

Hi Ritesh,
At present BSNL does not charges for its data transfers (internet) during roaming. Hence The T Mobile web connect manages has a built in command, it is insisting to conform the status. Happy Roaming.

I HAVE “MOBILE PARTENER”
HOW TO USE IT WITH MTNL 3G SIM CARD
Absolutely true is that BSNL 3g speed is very lsow.And i was really suffering with BSNL 3g datacard .And i have to finally stop the bsnl 3g service after number of problems..think before u buy…..
It’s working with TATA DOCOMO for me.
Follow the aforementioned steps to add a new profile but with a minor change as given below:
Fill the ‘Dialled Number’ tab with value *99#
and the ‘Access Point Name’ as TATA.DOCOMO.INTERNET.
The access point name will vary with the service provider. Of course for BSNL it is ‘bsnlnet’. We should enter the proper value in this field to get connected.
Try this and ‘njoy. The speed will depend on the signal strength at your place.
Can any one help me in connecting this device on Fedora Linux OS?
I guess it will connect to Linux like it works on a Windows machine

I purchased an Airtel 3G modem on 14.05.2011 at Trichy.
I am using the same on my Windows 7 laptop.
The plan is Pre-Paid 101
I have recharged it with Rs.101 on 15.06 and 14.07.2011.
The 3G modem was working well till beginning of July.
After that, it shows as “Connected”, and the light is Blue and steady, but no pages are loading.
The same result is obtained with IE8 and also Mozilla Firefox 3.
Windows reports that Airtel 3G is connected.
I have contacted the Trichy Airtel sales personnel several times, but they are saying that there is no problem form their side.
Please suggest how I can proceed further to solve the problem.
Just desire to say your article is as surprising. The clarity to your submit is simply great and that i can assume you’re knowledgeable in this subject. Well along with your permission allow me to snatch your RSS feed to keep up to date with forthcoming post. Thanks a million and please continue the rewarding work.
can u send me the setting of bsnl 3g for idea net setter CE0682 on my e-mail id
