Thread: Is it possible to change the Tata Photon Plus USB device to that of another provider?

Is there a way to change the Tata Indicom supplied Photon Plus USB device of Huawei to that of another provider? I think this device has a SIM card. Inserting a SIM card of another wireless broadband service provider, can that be done? I am from Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. I also have the signal booster antenna and other peripherals provided by Tata Indicom. Would they too require readjustment?

I have landline BSNL broadband combo that I find the best. However, as backup I had purchased Tata Indicom's Photon Plus which has frequent connectivity interruptions and/or low speeds despite the signal booster showing 95%-100% signal strength. I do online work from home.

I have used Photon plus CDMA usb broadband for quite some time. with out any "signal booster antennae" and "other peropherals" ,it should give 0.5 to 1.2 mbps average in the metro area.
Just curious- can you take a photo of the antennae supplied by tata indicom amd post here via image shack?
Photon plus,Reliance Netconnect and MTS all use the same CDMA technology. Go to MTS or Reliance (all equally worse) and ask them whether they can put their RUIM sim and activate pre paid a/c?

Any Post paid USB BB with CDMA operators -(all slow- reliance best among the worst.MTS Ok in some areas) you are asking for trouble!

Best solution- throw it away!( keep it in storage)

GSM 3.6 mbps data cards are as cheap as Rs 1200-1500. 7.2 mbps around rs 1500-1700.You can buy any pre paid 3G sim and keep a 3G data pack to back you up when your land line broad band takes a break.
