BSNL released its 3G service after a looooong testing in Coimbatore last week. I been there for the inaugural function. There is a huge mob to collect the free 3G USIM distributed.

I got a new connection yesterday after 1 hour of waiting. video call and Mobile TV is no matter to me, my thing was internet on mobile as any other users rely on Internet for their daytoday activities. I am not able to find a page in chennai telecom or tamilnadu telecom about the GPRS/WAP settings for 3G. Settings given by North Zone BSNL sites are not working. Really it is very complicated to get the reliable information since there is no authenticated information. CUSTOMER CARE 1503 IS USELESS. Customer care people sitting here not able provide the correct information since they don’t have any. Better they can close it !!

Finally I am able to connect with gprssouth.cellone.in as my APN. Then comes the signal quality. Frequently I am getting disconnected from 3G signal. network fails and it really switch VERY FREQUENTLY to G (GPRS), E (EDGE) and 3G. :( finally this is not fruitful for a serious user for professional purpose. We need to wait till it gets matured.
