Roaming Facility is now available in BSNL EVDO.

As part of the hike in monthly rental, BSNL apparently has decided to give out something more to it’s customers. So from today (July 1st 2009), BSNL has now enabled National Roaming facility for this service. This means, you can now use this device anywhere in India where the network and service is available without any extra cost for usage.

To avail this service, you will have to get your device reconfigured at your nearest BSNL Telephone exchange. This information is from a Bangalore user in our forum. If you are living in some other city, please make a query about the reconfiguration for National Roaming facility (be specific about roaming) at your nearest exchange.

Thanks to jameandrew for this information. You can discuss more about this news over here.

BSNL EVDO Hikes Monthly Rental.

As part of Roaming Facility to be enabled, BSNL EVDO monthly rental will be increased by Rs. 100 from tomorrow. For instance, if you are paying the monthly rental of Rs. 550, it will be increased to Rs 650. This new tariff is effective from July 1st 2009 for all new customers. And for existing customers who are using this service for Rs 550, must have to upgrade to higher plan. (i.e Rs. 650) after being used the service for at least 6 months. For more information, please visit this page.

If you consider this hike as a bad news, you might be wrong. BSNL will soon enable Roaming facility for this service. So that you can use this device in other cities all over India where the service is available without any extra charges.

BSNL EVDO now available in Kolkata, Trichy and Durgapur.

There is a good news for EVDO seekers in the above mentioned cities. BSNL EVDO is now available in Kolkata, Trichy and Durgapur (West Bengal). In Kolkata, only Rajarhat Newtown is EVDO enabled at the moment. While rest of the city has CDMA 1x coverage. Eventually, BSNL will expand EVDO availablity in Kolkata as time passes.

So EVDO seekers in Kolkata must wait a little longer to let BSNL enable EVDO network in your area. If you can’t wait, you can get the EVDO device now itself and start using CDMA 1x network which is offering stable 144Kbps in Kolkata. Later when BSNL enables EVDO service in your area, you can get your device reconfigured and start using EVDO network. One of our forum member, Sanipan has started using EVDO device with CDMA 1x network. Go here to read what he says.

We have not yet received any review from users in Trichy and Durgapur, West Bengal . If you avail it, please do write a short review on the service and it’s quality/performance and your user experience and we will appreciate your contribution and publish it here.

Bangalore EVDO users must reconfigure your device to continue using EVDO service.

Most of EVDO users in Bangalore might not be able to use EVDO and is just limited to use CDMA 1x. We thought this might be another EVDO outage in Bangalore. But this is different story. Due to some technical issues, BSNL has now shifted their main EVDO exchange from Whitefield to Telecom Building near Vidhan Soudha. This led them to change the PRL (Preferred Roaming List).

So in order to continue using EVDO (2.4 Mbps) service in Bangalore, users have to get their device reconfigured at their nearest BSNL telephone exchange. Getting your device reconfigured is free and may take few hours (if the person in charge of the duty is busy).

If you are using CDMA 1x (144 Kbps) service, you don’t have to reconfigure your device.

Thanks to our members, jameandrew and shaaradu for sharing the information regarding the change in main exchange and PRL.

If you still have any doubt, please feel free to post a question in this thread.
