Thread: Using BSNL Huawei modem with Airtel

Main Question:
I have the Huawei modem (Type II) wireless Ethernet and USB that BSNL gives. I want to use this with Airtel, is that possible? If yes, how?


History: (if interested)
I am switching from BSNL to Airtel becasue BSNL has not shifted my connection to my new house since the last 4 months.
I was extremely satsfied with the 512MB/5GB deal. Then I shifted my house and applied to BSNL for shifting my connection. It's been so long. it's crazy! I spent approx Rs.5500 to get the damn thing (deposits, installation, modem purchase, etc.). Now they are giving me some stupid excuses and not shifting the connection to the new place.

Airtel came 3 months ago and dug up the road one day, laid the cable and put the box the next day. Then they came door-to-door offering the connections for just 500 bucks! (refundable!) and 700 bucks a month rental!
I dint take it then in the hopes of getting BSNL, but they have let me down.

Now I want to take the Airtel thing, but I have this 1800 rupee modem that I got from BSNL, I don't want to spend on another Airtel modem.
The Airtel technicians will not help me since they want to sell their own modem.

If anyone has any ideas or has figured out how to use the Using BSNL Huawei modem with Airtel broadband please let me know.
