Best 3G Dongle In India - Recommendations?
What I've been noticing is that that 3G dongles available in India are very specific to the network operators. That is BSNL's dongle won't work with Idea's SIM card. That'd make us buy a new dongle if we wanted to switch operator. But MNP removes that need. However, the speed and quality of 3g connections would largely depend on the dongle itself. Let's see what's the best 3g connection dongle available in India. Tell us your own views about the dongle you've used or plan to use. It would help a lot of CEans make a decision.

Harshad ItaliyaIf you really want to use BSNL dongle with other Operator than you can use as most of the dongle are supplied by HYUWAI. Just update it's firmware and you can use any SimCard. π

I'll let you know all the details and also firmware updater.The_Big_KReally? How do I go about updating its firmware?
@Gandlf: Now i think i have to try it atleast once. -
Gandalf
Yeah , You should surely try , its great !!!godfatherI'll let you know all the details and also firmware updater.
@Gandlf: Now i think i have to try it atleast once.
Portability and speed is its benefit
And in some areas Frequent disconnection may be a issue faced where network is sparse
but with auto dial in Huawei , you need not worry much about it
If you live in a city like nagpur where it is triband (7.2 mbps )You should surely consider it at this price

Open DNS has some issues in Chennai, or may be India, as we won't be able to get the DNS servers resolved. Am using Google DNS and finding it very very good. πGandalfIt boosts just Your browsing performance better than your ISP . Not much change in Download speeds of course.

Huawei E173 is the best performing datacard priced at around Rs. 1750.The_Big_KWhat I've been noticing is that that 3G dongles available in India are very specific to the network operators.

Use Aircel 3G if you want a better experience of broadband. Aircel offers high speed internet access of about 3.8 - 4.5 Mbps(practically tested) which kills the concept of buffering while watching HD videos online. Try it ! -
Abhishek SwainFriends I just missed some important information in the previous post.
For Huawei E173, you need not launch the supplied software. Once you install the drivers, you will get a Mobile Broadband Hotlink created in the "Network and Sharing Center". After that, once you plug-in the dongle, you will be automatically connected to the internet within 10 seconds.
Another suggestion would be Alcatel X220E. One of the best dongles that supports Rx diversity and establishes a highly reliable internet connection. But it lacks the USSD option. -
Kaustubh KatdareI can't seem to find the make of my 3G dongle. I bought it when I purchased it. Is there a way to determine the make?

Download and install the DC Unlocker software to just know the model and make of the dongle. It shows the make and the current firmware version also. This s/w is used for unlocking purpose.πThe_Big_KI can't seem to find the make of my 3G dongle. I bought it when I purchased it. Is there a way to determine the make? -

Kaustubh KatdareAirtel may have a better network, but Bharti does not manufacture their own 3G dongles. I guess they label the HUAWEI products as their own. I heard from my friends that Airtel's got variety of dongles from different manufacturers.
