This is similar to USB internet data card provided by Reliance & Tata Indicom on CDMA technology. But this is from Vodafone on GSM platform through EDGE technology . You have to insert a SIM card into this modem & connect it to your laptop or desktop to have internet access. Vodafone website has not specified anything about speed, but they claim “speed that’s three times faster than your wired dial-up connection”, anyway I don’t believe in that! In India it connects to Vodafone EDGE network, so you can have access to internet wherever Vodafone network exists. Vodafone says “Gives 3G Broadband speeds when you travel abroad” as 3G is not implemented in India.

Charges & Tariff:

Vodafone Mobile Connect USB Modem will cost you Rs.6,499. Aw! that’s too expensive, HCL Laptop is available for 13,990! There are two monthly plans:

Monthly rental (Rs) 499 699
Free data 500MB 1GB
Usage charges 5p / 10KB 5p / 10KB

Overall this service is too much expensive :(. But if you don’t worry to pay for enjoying mobility, then this is the better one to go for. I heard Tata Indicom & Reliance data cards are extremely slow even in Bangalore!

  1. I dont expect Vodafone to give anything better than the other two. Its GPRS sucks big time. Its effective datarate is slower than what is should be technically.

  2. Reliance has better coverage than vodafone.

  3. Yes, Vodafone is too costly. Better go for Airtel Mobile office GPRS connection on your mobile. It is also expensive but there is no data transfer limit…
    Have’t used Reliance, but Tata Indicom sucks for sure…

  6. can’t we take USB for rent for 1 year

  7. hi

  8. i’m using vodafone mobile connect for some days now and i agree to the above users.
    in mobile connect you dont have to have a usb data card, and use ur mobile as the modem insted(if only u have a supported mobile).wht you need to do is just connect ur lptp/dsktp with ur mobile and have the mobile acess the net.the mobile will act as a modem.
    but the speed in doing so sucks big time, google.com almost takes 10 mins to open. but if u want mobility this is great as they have a good network backup.

  9. kindly ive me us chares for unlimited voice chet via usb

  10. is it availin kaerala

  11. in my opinion airtel is the best one compared to others. tata, reliance has got limited connectivity in remote areas, vodafone & similar gsm operators are not fully equipped to give good speed as good as airtel. airtel carry 1800 mhz and higher bandwidth tech. so it should be a wise choice, i wasted money on tata, vodafone & finally airtel worked out much better with initial cost.

  12. last week i bought a tata indicom plug2surf by Rs-2499+150=2649,but it is very costly in data transfer.at 8am to 10pm-60p/min and 10pm 2 8am-30p/min.at first i used airtel mobile office with Rs-498/month…..it is better for large data…AND NOW I SUGGEST TO USE FOR Reliance Smart with Rs-303/month or Rs-39 for 3 days recharge with Rs-39 in between friday from 10am 2 10pm.Used net from saturday 00.00 to monday day 00.00…..so,now ‘SMART” IS BESTTTTTTTT.SPEED–115.4KBPS

  13. I am currently accessing the net through PCMCIA slot using Tata Indicom SIM Card.

    In the HP Pavilion laptop model there is no provision for PCMCIA Card.

    Kindly let me know how to use my existing SIM Card to access the internet from HP Pavilion lap top.

  14. Tata, reliance, vodafone, airtel, which one of these have good connectivity and downloads? please let me know….

  15. nowadays Airtel is the best for surfing and downloading>>>>>>>>>>>if you want to use net vastly then you must use airtel.Rs-498/month or Rs-25/day(8.00am to nextday 8.00 am) OTHERWISE you can use USB MODEM Rs-898/month paying.

  16. any body give me information about TATA-INDICOM “USB-MODEM” UNLIMITED PLAN for west bengal.

  17. i am using a tata usb card- can i use or switch on the same usb modem to any other like reliance by just repalcing the sim card-

  18. hi friends. i am in search of good, non-problematic USB modem for internet on my desktop. i have gone through net and came to know that TATA has surely billing and speed problems, as well speed of reliance is also low ,so can any experienced or expert person give me a good suggestion. Thank you!
