surinder
jammu and kashmir
sir i have same data card of reliance, it’s possible convert reliance to bsnl this card.
@Surinder
Yah.. these evdo cards are causing some problems in some areas, as they are still under checking process and for time being it is better to use broadband services. but once the EVDO cards get functional you get higher speed for less cost. So i suggest you to not sell ur evdo card if u already bought it.
A landline based broadband is always consistent [:)] as per recent conditions. so take a broad band connection as of now.
@jasbindar singh
No mate.. These cards use different frequencies.. so you cannot convert one carrier to other. [:)]

@ARUN
There are no issues n roaming. But one thing you have to keep in mind is.. EVDO card doesn’t work in all places,particularly remote places. So be wise while taking EVDO. But it is much better than any other data cards provided by Reliance, Airtel etc
