I'm against these anti-competitive practices which are solely a product of a lack of competition. If the service they provide is good enough the recurring renewals should be all they need to sustain themselves. That Airtel has to lock the customer in despite being the only operator in the market implies more a profit motive. 2300 Mhz unfortunately isn't the most popular of 4G bands in the world, only China & South Africa have it in addition to others which we yet lack. Airtel is selling a over one year old Huawei mobile with 4G, no other reputable mobile manufacturer is introducing 4G capable sets because there is still ambiguity over what bands India will settle on for 4G. Once India settles on what bands we are going to permit for 4G the picture will drastically improve. Stsboost-R Data Card / Dongle, Number Of Ports Pins: 1. How good is the coverage ? only if you're near a tower. Cream Wireless Or Wi-fi Cofe 4g Router, For Sim To Wifi And Lan 2,650/ Piece. Where is it available ? only in 4 cities. Who is offering 4G in India ? Airtel only. So there is certainly a consumer group for 4G even now. The only reason being they wanted good speeds when they work from their hotel/apartments. But again nothing official on it.Īlso in the 20odd min I spent in their booth trying the device I found atleast 4-5 foreigners who were ready to pay 4K per month for even 10GB of data. (Off topic): AFAIK the Airtel guy who gave me this info said that there is some stupid TRAI and Govt laws ambiguity due to which they cant start Voice call service on 4G yet and it will be worked out soon. Things will be better and open when slowly they will start expanding their 4G services to many other cities and might start Voice + Data also. Again TBH I quite agree with their current strategy about selling 4G connections with locked devices and not sell only SIMS. When they sell the device the customer automatically gets tied up in a relatively longer duration commitment than else wise.Īnd go ask Airtel for a SIM for your IPAD see what they can answer. They would then have to depend on customer staying with them for a longer time.
AIRTEL 4G DONGLE MODEL ANDROID
If Android has already set values for 1 for any fields below leave them. Would you pay them 1000 bucks only for the SIM? If they had sold only the SIM the market would have flooded with chinese 4g dongles and they would not benefit much from it. Go to Settings, Connections, Mobile networks, Access Point Names on your Android. The idea of not selling the SIM alone is that since now they provide only data service they want to earn more profits by selling the devices rather than just selling the SIM.
Click to expand.First of all considering this is India and the current telecom mahabharat in the nation their rates are very reasonable.
