BSNL EVDO ZTE AC8700 (MG 478) on Reliance?

Recommended Posts

Friends

I have a bsnl evdo zte ac8700 (mg 478), it has been provided to me by my office. At Kolkata there is no evdo by BSNL, with CDMA 1x it is very slow. I can still use the modem on EVDO, when I travel to EVDO locations.

I am able to unl*ck the modem also set to "R-uim if available". When I put a reliance sim in it, it is able to read it, but doen't connect to reliance network. The network connected still remains BSNL.(may be because it still has BSNL PRL)

I would like to use the modem either with BSNL(where evdo is available) or to reliance (where EVDO is not available). I donot want to disturb the modem setting as I have to use it on BSNL also.

It is possible to use this modem on BSNL when there is not RUIM inserted and with Reliance when a RUIM is inserted.

pl help

Process is very simple.

01. Connect Modem to USB port (all drivers should be loaded & modem should be working on that port)

02. Go to device manager & find out the port number on which modem is connected.

03. Most of the cases SPC 000000 (six zeros). Connect to CDMA Workshop. Connect to the correct port.

04. under security, send SPC to modem, you will get a message the phone is unlocked.

04 Read from phone, under other change the RUIM config to "R UIM if avail" write to modem & save close CDMA workshop. Remove the modem.

05. Put the RUIM in modem & repeat 01 to 03. Now it should show you the E*N & Min number etc of R UIM.

06. Read from phone.Under Nam change the PRL option to enabled, write to Modem save & close.

You are done

In case the modem doesn't accept SPC 000000, then search for ZTEPST.exe on net download. connect to the correct port, it will read the spc & unlock the modem

I am planning to buy the BSNL EVDO card, now available for 2100 only, but I may have to shift to Mumbai. In that case, I have a couple of questions:

1. can I discontinue BSNL services and use reliance?

2. How to use reliance on such unlocked card? Just popping in our regular RUIM or getting a new connection from Reliance?

3. And what will be the terrifs?

Just popping in regular RUIM it will work

Reliance will not activate it as a data card on their network. So mobile connection u have to use.

Reilance EVDO will not work only 1x CDMA

Will this process make it possible to use the modem with BSNL when there is no RUIM and with Reliance when there is an RUIM inserted ?

I followed the steps. But it connects with the same credential of BSNL using ZTE Wireless Terminal even when the RUIM is inserted into it. While connected it shows EVDO sign on the ZTE Wireless Terminal.

Initally I also faced the same problem. It reads the Min number etc from R UIM but prl from modem.

You need to connect to CDMA workshop again with R UIM in it. Then read from phone & under nam1, you need to activate PRL option save & closed. Recoonect to modem it should be done ( step number 05 & 06). & you need to give user id & password of reliance not BSNL.

Lot of info avail in your image than can be misused.

For MTS HDR user is MCC + MNC + MIN No. @evdo.mtsindia.in

HDR Pass is your ESN

for example with the above image

HDR user is 40589XXXXXXXXXX@evdo.mtsindia.in

HDR Pass is XXXXXXXX

this can be entered with the new cdmaworkshop evdo section.
