BSNL 3G Guide: For Kerala Customers

BSNL launched 3G services in Kerala back in January. The service was first launched in Kozhikode, Kannur and Wayanad and BSNL gradually expanded services to Thiruvananthapuram, Kottayam etc. The most surprising fact is that Ernakulam being the most modern city of the state still haven’t started 3G services which has been a let down for many users.

We contacted the officials of Ernakulam but they were unable to comment on when the service would start. But the good news is that Ernakulam district has got 150 spots 3G enabled. They also said that eventually all the towers will be converted from 2/2.5G to 3G.

If you are impatient like me and if you want to use the service, here is an easy way. Try to get a sim from any of the cities where 3G services have already been launched. It doesn’t matter even if its a 2G sim. You can convert it to 3G by the following steps:-

For PREPAID users:

Step 1: Send an SMS to 53733 typing M3G120

Step 2: You will receive confirmation in minutes and send a SMS to 53733 by typing M3G120y

In a few minutes you will be converted to 3G. Please note call rates and sms tariff are different in 3G, so you may wanna take a look at here. Click Here There isn’t any need for any minimum balance to do the conversion. And any balance in your phone will be available even after conversion :-)

For POSTPAID users:

Postpaid user need to fill in an application form available online. But some officials said thats not necessary. Well, its BSNL. Anyway there is an Online Registration Form. You may fill out that. Click Here

Read the frequently asked question to clarify any further doubts. Go here and click FAQ

Once you are converted to 3G, you will require a minimum balance of Rs50 to use the internet according to customer care. But yeah, our testing found out that you can use even when your balance is below Rs50.
The following settings are to be entered to get access to internet.

Access Point: bsnlsouth.cellone.in
Username: 10 Digit Mobile Number
Password: 10 Digit Mobile Number

And here is a tip for Nokia Users, if you want to stay on 3G tower all the time preventing your phone automatically switching to 2G towers, then go to MENU>SETTINGS>CONNECTIVITY>NETWORK>NETWORK MODE and choose UMTS.

So what are you waiting for ? Go enjoy 3g service today. Or already using 3G ?? Tell us your thoughts in the comment section.
