How to find the EVDO connections username and password

[mmmishea]

( I know it's not a good thread to bee in tutorial section, but i saw a lot of users who have the confusion about the connections user name and password, and even if it seems a very small thing to us, many find it a difficult part to find out their user name and password..)

Hi all. Below i will provide instructions about how to find the correct user name and password for the evdo device's connection.

First of all , please know that their are two type of connections.
1) CDMA 1X (up to 144 kilo bit per second limit) which is primitive and slower connection

2) EVDO REV 0 (2.4 Mbps theoretical Down link, 150 kbps Up link). which is the faster connection.

*Now user name and password for the CDMA 1x users:-
The cdma 1x connection has default username: bsnl
passowrd: bsnl

FOR SOME STATES, the user id and password is CDMA, CDMA respectively. So Please try this if the above one does'nt work.


*For EVDO Connection
User name and password is the phone no (min no) of ur device's connection.

Now the question is how to find that phone no.
One easiest way is to look at ur BSNL EVDO service bill.
Their u will see the phone no in LEFT TOP CORNER of the bill.
this phone number will start from 2 and will be a 7 digit no.
this no will be ur username as well as password..

@ mmmishea... good thread.

I want to add here, for me I have to enter

username = cdma
password = cdma

as provided by BSNL exchange...so in case the phone no dosent work, users can try this also.

ok, have u tried bsnl,bsnl ?
cdma is for 1x or evdo?

In my area default username/password is cdma for both EVDO & CDMA 1x connection. bsnl,bsnl does not work here.
