Reliance data card
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.

[...] 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.

Looks like this article about reliance data card is becoming very popular. I will add to the post with an updated review of my new reliance data card in a day or two as I am going to be out of Delhi for a day and will put this data cards reception to test once again.
In the mean time if you have something to add, please feel free to leave your comments.

Very poor service. Don’t buy Reliance Broadband Connection
Comment by Ajay Gill — January 2, 2008 @ 12:30 pm
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
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
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
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
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
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.

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

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

Dear Sir/Madam,
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

Comment by Samir sharma — June 11, 2008 @ 6:39 am
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?

Comment by Rajeev Purohit — August 25, 2008 @ 6:10 pm
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.
Comment by Sushubh — August 29, 2008 @ 7:40 pm
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
