Use unlimited 3g of BSNL

How to Use Unlimited Free 3G in BSNL

• 
  

Tired of high 3G bills or low GPRS speed? There is a solution for it. Use it for free without paying anything. You must be in 3G network area to use 3G. At this time 3G is not available all over India but it is available in big cities.
You need a 2G SIM and a mobile phone which can change network from 2G on UMTS, I have tried it in Nokia N79 and 5800.
First you need a Mobile with BSNL SIM. Then create a profile or access point in Internet/GPRS setting with access point ‘bsnlnet’ and leave all other things blank.
You can use it on mobile or PC using PC suite. If using from mobile then connect to net using profile you created or if you are using PC then use access point ‘bsnlnet’ to connect.
Now you are connected to internet using 2G and now you have to go to your network setting where you can change it from 2G to UMTS. You can find setting in Nokia phones at – Settings > Phone > Network > Network mode. Setting may be different on different phones.
Now you can use free 3G. Speed is more then EVDO if you are in good network coverage area. If you get disconnected then don’t reconnect directly, change network mode to 2G and start process again as stated above.
