For BSNL CDMA be ready for trips to BSNL office and dealing with their incompetent staff . Used EVDO for 5+ years then switched . Too much of a pain and hassle dealing with them
Got those Sierra 595U modems from US which were really good for BSNL .
Not worth the hassle for going to BSNL office for any queries or resolutions . And all issues with BNNL are backend . If a pointman in Vadodara can work out these nagging issues then excellent and not averse for paying such services also .
EVDO closing has also stopped /delayed in many circles , atleast stopped surely for most northern states bordering Pakistan as this is the only service provider . After mobile penetration increases in remote areas then might
All BSNL GSM plans are valid for CDMA postapid .
BSNL charged me 100/ bucks for SIM change as they were not aware no orders on it . New RUIM costs 40/ has to take it as was old number .
After 2 days they changed another guy SIM for 40 bucks as I became their guinea big and they learnt .
As dr has prescribed a small programming is required for most SIMs otherwise not readable in most US sets
And yes for all those going for BSNL CDMA they will not give you SIm
1. Aunty not in mood to work .
2. As they dont know how to program it
3. Wont be having CDMA RUIM
4. Some might even close it 5 years back
5. Fully discourage you
After you get a SIM please run for recharging it as no one oustide will be able to recharge it . Only few sites online work
BEST LUCK TO WOULD BE BSNL CDMA subscribers
