MTNL was the first to launch 3G services in India, and BSNL (Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd) is the first to launch in Chennai. This is a good news for BSNL users in Chennai. The 3G service will enable data speed of 2 Mbps against 144 Kbps available now over the GPRS and EDGE enabled mobile networks. The Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Mr M. Karunanidhi, launched the 3G service with an inaugural call to the Union Minister for Communication and IT, Mr A. Raja.
3G is the next generation of mobile communications systems. It enhances the services such as multimedia, high speed mobile broadband, internet access with the ability to view video footage on your mobile handset. With a 3G phone and access to the 3G network you can make video calls, watch live TV, access the high speed internet, receive emails and download music tracks, as well as the usual voice call and messaging services found on a mobile phone, like person to person video, live streaming, downloadable video of entertainment, news, current affairs and sport content and video messaging
Some Cons When you get a 3G connection -Your number will be changed, which means that you cannot activate 3G service for your existing number, but in a later stage it will be possible to upgrade your existing connection to 3G. When you take a 3G connection your SIM will be replaced by USIM. You can find the BSNL 3G Tariff details here.
