Reliance data card

Filed under: Broadband, Laptops, Reliance broadband, Wireless — Tags: , , — Parminder @ 2:55 am

Reliance data card : There are a lot of wireless internet options available in India now for instance airtel data card and hutch data cards which has now changed to vodafone data card and tata indicom and reliance are also offering wireless internet at very affordable rates but when compared to UK prices are still very high in India as one can get a wireless broadband connection using 3g technology at £10 per month from 3g and Vodafone and speeds are faster then 256kbps with the added advantage o being able to go anywhere within the UK.

I have got this reliance wireless data card and to be honest I don’t like it that much when I compare the speed with what I get in UK as some pages take ages to open leave alone establishing an ftp connection with my servers…

I normally have to do a lot of ftp work as I have a number of clients for whom I take care of their servers located in Germany and USA which obviously require me to have a good internet connection all the time although I have a team of guys working 24/7 but there are still some problems which they cannot take care of themselves and have to refer those problems to me. I am now looking at buying a teaming software and have at least three wireless connections one another laptop and use a LAN network on another laptop so that I would get access to the best network at all times but then this comes with its own set of problems for example if I am doing some work on a server I will be logged out every time my ip address changes.. I guess will wait for 3g :) for the time being reliance data card is doing the trick.

Just for info: Mahape has the most number of reliance data card subscribers.

  4. [...] Reliance data card is what keeps me connected while traveling these days and I have been using it for the last 15 days without any issues at all. I am getting 10KB/sec + speeds at all times even while in the middle of no where so you can imagine how strong the reliance towers network is and how good the connection quality is. I never thought cdma would be so good and always used the gsm crap using airtel data card which was such a pain and I had to get rid of it in the end and switch to reliance data card. I am wondering if reliance broadband service is also as good as the reliance data card connection so I could also get a reliance broadband connection instead of this sify crap I am using right now.

  11. Very poor service. Don’t buy Reliance Broadband Connection

    Comment by Ajay Gill — January 2, 2008 @ 12:30 pm

  12. Reliance data card which I bought some time ago is working very well and whenever sify broadband is down I just have to plug in my reliance data card and I hardly ever notice any difference in browsing speed except for the fact that I keep images to min quality using reliance’s net booster software which is supplied free in the installation CD.

    Comment by Parminder — January 5, 2008 @ 12:07 am

  13. hey.. its worst, card . gatting less then 10kbps, not good for downloading..,. disconnecting again and againg ,

    Comment by Aditya Naulakha — January 10, 2008 @ 7:09 pm

  16. well i have been using airtel data card in hyderabad. it was quite slow. i agree with many of the users on that part. but the same thing in mumbai is working well. I live in Borivili East .People who are airing your views. just check
    1 Different Locations (in the same city)
    2 Signal Strength (Doesnt matter much)
    Dont buy any data cards, just rashly. ASk for a demo. Airtel does that, Even reliance gives demos. ASk for a demo @ ur home/ work. Then you can decide for yourself

    Comment by pradeep — January 16, 2008 @ 10:02 am

  17. which data card is better,reliance or airtel?

    please tell the speeds for both of them

    Comment by aparna — January 16, 2008 @ 1:30 pm

  18. If you dont want to have an headache…just go for demo……else read below
    Reliance offers max 144kbps. Airtel will give u 236kbps/ or sumtimes 214kbps
    BSNL will give u 144 or 2mbps…..coz thats a new tech thing called EVDO and more over 2mbps would work only in certain areas again. Airtel @ 30% GSM signal strength is working good in mumbai, but in hyderabad…the location where I actually worked….used to give very poor performance…… If you want to know the technichal specifications and stuff like that…I might suggest u visit the site of the actual provider of the cards…ie http://www.option.com….in the site u just look for an EDGE/GPRS card because its the only product provided and supported by the GSM operators…and u have also the choice of buying it from the grey market…..make sure your laptop supports it……

    Comment by pradeep — January 17, 2008 @ 3:30 am

    Comment by bhadresh — May 3, 2008 @ 1:13 pm

  48. hey guys. for all ur kind info. i am a user of reliance data card for tha past 2 months. its a regret tat i bought it even without considering anybody.

    the speed it gives is horrible (0kpbs most of the time). it is slower than the dial up connection most of the time. even i face the disconnecting problem over and over. it takes hrs for me to send mails as the connection fails.

    I have complained to the customer care plenty of time and they repeat their statement again n again as the connection in peak time and according to location will only be 20-40kpbs.

    can somebody kindly help me suggesting a procedure to return back the data card or sell it.

    also suggestion required on which connection to take with the rates. i am a frequent traveller.

    Comment by Appajigowda — May 15, 2008 @ 8:55 am

  51. I am Sachin Gupta (customer id no. 220509898672). I applied for reliance broadband and got the connection installed on 4th April 08. On 16th the outgoing calls through the fixed line phone stopped. On enquiring with the customer care, I was told that I ve used the data worth Rs 9000 and since my credit limit of Rs 4000 was crossed the outgoing calls were stopped. On analyzing the bill I found several discrepancies:
    1) Person from Reliance installed the connection at about 5.45pmon 4th April and the PC was left on. No one used PC after he left but the usage shows uploaded data as 2.92 GB. I am not able to understand how can the data uploading start on its own when no was using PC.
    2) Usage also shows that in span of 12 days data worth 8.3 GB was uploaded. This is something impossible as I never uploaded any data. I had chat only once on yahoo with web cam (2 mega pixel) on for 30 min.
    3) When my credit limit was set as Rs 4000, then why I was informed only when the usage had reached Rs 9000. They should have terminated the connection immediately when the usage crossed Rs 4000.
    4) Also there was a free data transfer worth 1GB and 50 free calls. The bill dated 11th April does not reflect the same. They should have deducted the usage for 7days on pro rata basis.
    5) On contacting customer care they are not able to give any information of the uploaded data. The reply is always that I ve downloaded Rs9000 worth data and so has to pay the same.

    This is how reliance is looting the customers and in the short span they are among Fortune 500 list

    Reliance data card sucks. Don’t use it. It takes ages to display a web page or to download a small 1 mb file. I am really disappointed.

  53. i have used reliance data card for one month from my friend. from my experience a humble request! dont buy that bullshit. the experiences of guys and girls above confirms that. reliance is cheating a whole country. they are actually prohibiting the fruit of many new technologies to a developing country called India. shame on you reliance…really…

    Comment by Vishnu — May 26, 2008 @ 9:15 am

  55. Hii,
    There is only one broadband data card available and that is bsnl evdo data card whcih will give you speeds upto 2.2mbps and all others are 100-144kbps which include airtel data card, reliance data card, tata indicom data card and all the others.

    Another problem is that bsnl is still running these evdo data cards on trial basis and are only available at select locations across India so you will have to check with your local bsnl office to get hold of one.

    I am samir sharma, currently working in a software company in hyderabad, i required relince data card to use the net,

    i was looking for a better data card, but on saturday(7 jun 2008), i meet to your (Relince) executive and he let me know about the Relince data card, so i agree with your company offer and i pay him 2820 for the data card, and he gave me the rct also, with promising that by the eveing he will give me the data card and install it to my laptop.

    My rct no is :- 2347253785

    and scheme code is :- 2 month unlimited data card.

    now today is wednesday ( 11 jun 2008) , but nobody is coming to give me the data card nad no body giving me the services. when i called to the person who gave me this scheme, his phone is not working, means i am not able to connect him, one person came to my office to verification, when i called him for the status he is not picking my phone.

    the person who meet me on sat to whome i gave the money was :

    Naveen

    Mob No. 9390110588

    and the person who came for verification was

    Raju

    Mob No. 9397925387

    please look into the matter, and help me out to get the data card or try to back my money,

    i am very upset now.

    if any information you need then please let me know

    thaks in advance

  58. Reliance data card is painfully slow. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone unless you have no option. TATAindicom is comparatively better. The problem with BSNL is, you may get connection where you least expect and you may not get connected where everyone else get network.

    Does anyone use to Vodafone? Are there useful while traveling to smaller cities in Inida?

  69. I’m user of Reliance data card for last 4 months. It’s absolutely pathetic. It runs extremly slow, often MTNL dialup network has worked faster than this card. I would recommend everyone please don’t get into this sales people comment about network cell sites congestion problem at peak hours or any other sales pitch. if you dont have choice, then buy it with minimum charges scheme and pls be prepared to logon for 1 hour for 3 minutes work. All the best!!

  73. I have read a lot of comments here saying cant even open gmail or webpages and all that but my experience has been entirely different.
    It all depends on where you are and how far the reliance tower is from where you access the internet. I have experienced that if you have 3 or more bars on the screen for reception then it will run very smooth with no issues what so ever but if it comes down to 2 bars then you will have trouble opening even small pages like google search and you might not be able to load the whole gmail pag even so it really depends on how far the reliance tower is.

  74. Reliance data card sucks…. BSNL’s EVDO is far better…. it offers unlimited usage for only Rs 550/month…..besides much superior speed (between 100 kBps- 180 kBps if it is showing 4-5 signals) …… there is no point in using reliance…… even with one signal BSNL’s EVDO connects immediately and gives 20 kBps…… dont let this mahachor company Reliance dupe you…… u can use BSNL card on Mac also…..go to bsnlevdoclub.com for getting help on how to configure it fo ur Mac PC

    Comment by Ashutosh — September 3, 2008 @ 1:35 pm

  75. I have also taken Reliance data card and till now spent Rs. 5000 on the modem and on paying the bills extra. They had given me a white data card which was returned and also the executive said that many of them complain on its use and the cost and the accesbility. Instead of this i was replaced with a ZTE model which was an open piece. I requested for a close box , new piece but the executive said as ur piece was open and used he had to give me an open data card modem. I used that for around 3 months but always getting disconnected. After complaining, the guy says he will help me with it but as far as my experience is with reliance, Ambani was very true in what he said….karlo duniya apni mutthi mein…” Sabka maal apna mutthi mein”…
    I would request everyone not to ever go for any reliance data card…or reliance mobiles…they are utterly rubbish…
    I have invested so much on this data card instead i could get gold for me which would alteast be genuine with me.

  78. Hi,

    Before writing my feedback about data card i request all of you to give sincere suggestions rather just highlighting it. It not only sufficient to have continuous connection, speed does matters a lot.

    Reliance data card is worst i have ever seen. Problems

    1. They dont support some windows erver edition. You need to get the software from the same vendors. ( Low Priority)
    2. Bad experience : after data card purchase my connection got activated and i started to use. Within few days connection got deactivated due to negative address verfication. Funny thing is connection got activated after valid address verification. I lost few days of service as mine was kind of pre paid 999 plan.
    3. There is a kind of problem with device. You need to plugin the USB data card and unplug many times just to get connected. Few times you get errors since software doesn’t recognize the data card.
    4. Signal strength is very poor. Connection speed is 115 kbps and download speed is 10 kbps max.
    5. Error : Timed out occurs from many sites due to the bad network.
    6. Only good thing is it never shows disconnected messaged at all, even though you can browse through the sites.

    I suggest rather beg everyone not to buy reliance data card. Please consider my sincere suggestion.

    Thanks
    Arun S

  81. The problem is that for those who travel across India very frequently there is no other alternative and reliance data card is providing what it says is on offer… 100kbps and the connection is stable aswell which is great as I travel a lot and I have been using reliance data card with no trouble atall although getting it activated in the begining was a lot of hassel.

    This data card is only good for browsing and checking e-mails … if you want to download heavy files why not get a broadband connection? this data card thing is strictly for those who want to stay in touch and get their e-mails while on the move.

    user which of the datacard system at present withstand the confirmation of the
    the all desired connectivity, downloading and afterservices so that every one can
    not repent as above.

  84. Relliance Netconnect ? Slow as an drunk snail, every service provider promises but its all tall promise. In India not a single service provder is serious enough to provide the services.Its all fleecing the public with false promises.

    Comment by Naik — October 4, 2008 @ 4:34 am

  86. Hi, I am from Guwahati, Assam. I got the BSNL data card last month. The main problem I am facing is that i do not recieve any signal. Sometimes a single bar appears and that too for a few seconds. I am not able to access the net properly. I talked with the concerned people and they said that due to multi-storied buildings the instrument may not recieve the signal. But within our city there are lot of high buildings, how come there the problem does not exist. I am about to submit the instrument but before that I request any suggestions/advice for this case because I know BSNL service is better than the others. I want suggestions what may the possible reasons for me not receiving the signal or how can the signal receiving be enhanced. However, I would like to mention that the signal tower is not far from my home, about 4 or 5 kms.

    Comment by Mikoo Dutta — October 5, 2008 @ 2:08 pm

  87. I would suggest never to use Reliance Data cards, worst performance and service….
    U have many other god options like airtel and Tata…
    I have been struggling everytime for this data card …It’s ridiculous that its 2 months till now and no progress.
    No speed at all …It’s totally a waste of money..

    Comment by Netra — October 12, 2008 @ 9:12 am

  88. Hi, I m from Guwahati.
    I want to say something over Mr Mikoo Dutta’s problem……..
    I m also using BSNL EVDO Datacard since last two months. It’s performance is everage. Sometimes it can’t open pages but sometimes it works realy good. In Guwahati BSNL Datacard is running on CDMA technology. But outside of Guwahati BSNL’s network is GSM based. That’s why outside of guwahati it doesn’t work. If you r getting the “1X” signal(near of the tower signal) in the Datacard menu, then it is having the signal. But thereafter it can’t open pages then it is network problem(if the setting is ok).
    In Guwahati the CDMA network is not too high quality. That’s why I suggest you to try your Datacard at some other places in Guwahati. If after that, it doesn’t work then the problem is in your USB modem.

    Note: The common number for dialing from Datacard to connect is “#777″

  109. Reliance data card users are facing some unique issues with using SMTP or POP3 of any other provider.
    My company hosts with a reputed provider but I am unable to use SMTP / POP3 account and smtp server of my hosting provider, when accessing the internet through Reliance data card. I am able to access/use the same service via Airtel or any other ISP.

    Looks like Reliance is blocking some services for its data card users.

    Could this be because,

    i. it is trying to throttle users and enforce low bandwidth usage on its wireless broadband service?

    ii. or it is trying to act in the same manner that Microsoft does - subvert competition by unfair means. I mean, if you stop email/pop service of customers of other hosting providers, you will force them to use your hosting services.

    Any inputs / assistance / advice will be welcome…

    Comment by Sunny — February 6, 2009 @ 5:49 am

  118. I was planning to buy a data card.. Reading all the comments posted, one wonders how reliance top level manmagement is turning a blind eye to the adverse market feedback on its performance.I guess the best solution is to make a complaint to the consumer redressal forum of your jurisdication.. The nature of complaint should be ” deficiency of services” provided. Under this clause you will be entitled to get compensated for the poor service levels. Anyway,, bottomline, I need to have internet connectivity for a period of 2 months while on business. Could any one tell me what is the alternative to have data connectivity. I think its a shame that India being on the global map for information technology services, does not provide normal services in the domestic market. I am shocked to see the poor service levels of all the ISP providers.. Its really a shame and disgrace that neither the govt nor the business does take steps to resolve this issue.

  124. My wife started using Reliance data card from past 2 months. Initially the internet was working properly speed was not so great but it did the work. Last week for the first time we had an issue with connection then started our nightmare. There is only one person available at Reliance web world who know how it works and even that fellow gave wrong information to my wife that there is enough credit because of which our internet credit is over and it started using the main balance (price is way too expensive for 2hrs it deducted Rs:200/-) and after that internet stopped working. When we contact the same person at web world he was still insisting of enough credit and asking us to contact customer support. The customer support team are completely incompetent they don’t even know what is the problem or how to answer the customer’s queries. After one day of phone calls with support team we paid the bill and also took the data plan of 25hrs to use internet still we cannot connect to internet. After waiting for 4 days the team at reliance web world mentioned that 25hrs data plan is not properly charged and we need to wait for another 2 days. Been a week and even now we don’t have any internet.

    I have no hope that issue will be resolved anytime soon. I am not going to use Reliance anymore in future and I don’t even think of recommending it to any other users either.
