Thread: Activation of Ev-DO across states

Hi All,

I'm from Coimbatore and trying very hard to get a BSNL EV-DO connetcion.
Things is though my city has complete coverage for Ev-Do advanced data network, the equipment is not available and officials say that if i order today i will get it delivered after a month or 2 :48:.

So to make things faster, i have decided to purchsase the equipment from trivandrum (it avsailable there) with local proofs , but get the carg/usb modem activated here in coimbatore. The bsnl techies in my city say that they can do it, but i still have a nagging doubt.

Can one of you please advice whether this will work..!!!

thanks,
Raj

From an Unofficial evdo forum ;

1.BSNL EVDO hardwareBSNL is using EVDO device AC8700 manufactured by ZTE. It is a sleek black USB device. BSNL has burnt in the phone number and hence the EVDO comes with a phone number on it. The user id is the phone number prefixed with area code and password is typically the last 4 digits of the phone number.

2. BSNL EVDO service is roaming enabled. This means that you can use it anywhere inside your state (I can use it anywhere in example : say Kerala). [COLOR="black"]Currently country wide roaming is not available.

i doubt that!!

Hey essbebe,

thanks for the information that was really helpful.

i enquired the chennai EV-DO BB department directly, they are asking me to wait for 2 months after booking now. .. wat to do??

anywayz from ur info i feel that cross state activation is not possible, so i better go for some wireline BB till bsnl ev-do is full fledged.!!!

thanks once again Bro.
