Airtel 3G Data Card

The data card can work on all the partner networks of Airtel when on national roaming and is compatible with GSM network while on international roaming, the company said in a statement.


Before launching the 3G services , Airtel has launched the new USB 3G data card . The new Airtel 3G Data Card will be currently used for wireless Internet access over Airtel 2G/2.75G GSM services across India.Once Airtel launch their 3G services , the same data card can be used to access the 3G network.

Airtel broadband has earned its reputation by providing better broadand services and customer support then its competetors but airtels data card isint doing very well on that font.I used airtel data card for about 4 months and I hated it so much that I gave it to some one for free and got rid of the connection as well. I used to pay I think Rs500 per month and I was never able to log into my google adsense account not even once and nor was I able to log into paypal as the connection would time itself out by the time the page loaded.

I have got a new reliance data card now and I am more then happy with the performance both quality wise and speed.
