11 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/just-bought-bsnl-evdo-prepaid-data-card-plz-clear-a-few-doubts.164644/

hello guys i bought Bsnl evdo data card UE100 today with prepaid CDMA sim. i got it for 959/- with RS.399 balance included.

1. can i activate a plan [eg: Rs.250/-] with my balance? i mean, it should deduct the amount Rs.250 from my balance. [Rs.399]

2. how to recharge?? can i go to any mobile recharge shop?

for eg: if i want to activate Rs.825 [one month unlimited plan]. should i just recharge my evdo no. with 825Rs. ? or i have to recharge it with any amount greater than 825 and activate the plan using sms or something?

3. what is "EVDO Data STV's available through C-Top UP" ?? i

i am totally N00B about evdo.

ps: i had tried downlaoding a small file and got ~35-70KB/s :-x

. max i could get was 160KB/s

which data card did they gave to you? Micromax 300C???

no prithvi UE100

EVDO speed is not consistent & good avg speed should be ~1mbps(meaning ~400-450mb download in 1 hour using download manager).if there are a lot of EVDO users in area or signal strength is weak you will get lower speeds.

I'm using paytm.com to recharge it. Can i use my balance to activate a plan? So that the value of the selected plan could be deducted from my main balance?

I'm also using paytm.If you want to recharge unlimited plan just recharge with 825 and u will get the uld plan. :-D

So, after long time bumping this thread.

I too got EVDO and to check speed I selected 250 plan which provides 1GB data.

Now, I would like to get Rs. 750 unlimited plan.

Do I need to visit BSNL office to get plan changed or I can do STV recharge on PAYTM.

Please help.

You can make a recharge on paytm.

The 750 plan you're talking of is for POSTPAID customers. For PREPAID, it's for 825 / month.
