Re: BSNL 3G Launches in Hyderabad. Reviews and Questions Just finished transition a 2G Sim to 3G using the SMS method. Took about 2hrs and I rebooted my phone once I got the SMS confirmation. I can see a tiny 3.5G up near the network strength meter now. HSDPA doesn't seem to be working....no idea how to go about getting it up and running. I keep sendng my Handset and Model to 58355 and it keeps responding that the format is invalid (NOKIA 5800). Typical BSNL so I'm not surprised they might have teething problems initially.
Re: BSNL 3G Launches in Hyderabad. Reviews and Questions HSDPA = 3.5G = the little icon you see beneath the network strength meter.
Re: BSNL 3G Launches in Hyderabad. Reviews and Questions Swapped the Sim. The activation is still due. They said it would be done tomorrow. The 3G icon came up with no tweaks at all with full reception. Will update. Here is the screenie.
Re: BSNL 3G Launches in Hyderabad. Reviews and Questions Hey Amar.. I too have an iphone 3GS and a prepaid cell one connection. I sent a sms for enabling my 3G and got a confirmation that it is done. But i do not see the 3G symbol. any settings that i have to change on the phone? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Re: BSNL 3G Launches in Hyderabad. Reviews and Questions Settings>General>Network> ENABLE 3G
I remember that I had the switch off to save battery. Could be the same thing with yours too. I flipped it on and I got the nifty 3G icon on top. However, Its not activated yet. They said it would be done tomorrow morning. are you able to make calls?
Please help me with the SMS to enable 3G. Is there something i should do before I am able to use it??
Thanks in advance.
Re: BSNL 3G Launches in Hyderabad. Reviews and Questions I have done that already... but i do not get any option..anyways the sms thing - "The existing BSNL 2G prepaid mobile subscribers can migrate to 3G services just by one SMS “M3G120” to 53733 while Postpaid 2G subscriber need to send M3G25 to 53733." Hope this helps.

Re: BSNL 3G Launches in Hyderabad. Reviews and Questions Some more info from BSNL AP. New Page 1
So apparently the its 98rs in AP for 2G customers who migrate. Get to keep promotional plan tarffs as well.
Re: BSNL 3G Launches in Hyderabad. Reviews and Questions Will do that. I got this BSNL Sim just today. I was on AirTel till now. Try turning off and turning on, or hold the home+power button for about 30 seconds until the phone turns off and the apple logo appears (dont let go until it appears). Give it about 5 minutes from then. Try that. I will update about the service tomorrow.
But I must say apart from the stuff I usually do with my regular carrier, I didnt do anything else. It showed up all by itself after I let it sit about 10 minutes. so... yea. Have a good night. Will update.
Re: BSNL 3G Launches in Hyderabad. Reviews and Questions Woot! Got data up and going finally. Gonna connect it to my XPS and do a speedcheck.
