Hello mates, If the BSNL 3g services are available in your area? than common just activate BSNL 3g in your mobile by following these steps. You will get the settings shortly. Unlike other countries, Most of the India is still waiting for 3G mobile services to be launched. However, BSNL and MTNL, State RUN telecom companies already got 3G license but still not available throughout, however I happen to be in one of the city where BSNL 3G is available.

So not sure when exactly whole India will enjoy 3G.

Steps To Activating BSNL 3G:

Hear the Activating process is quite easy, all you need is to buy 3G SIM of costs Rs. 300 with 7 days validity and no talktime, then you are required to recharge it with one of the data recharge( they provide that ). You can start with Rs. 400 recharge which give you 30 days validity and 1 GB of data usage.

Settings / Configuration for BSNL 3G on Mobile:

It is very easy, all the configuration settings are similar to GPRS, Follow the simple steps:

Make sure your PHONE is set to work on 3G network ie. in my phone, to use 3G network, I had to select “WCDMA” in my network mode settings. You should see “3G” written somewhere on your phone screen if it is connected to 3G network.
Now depending upon the phone, goto Connection settings, there create new connection profile and now you are only required to specify APN and you are done.
APN stands for “ACCESS POINT NAME” . You are required to specify following APN for BSNL 3G settings:
