BSNL 3G: Unlock BSNL 3G (100% quick fix)

BSNL 3G MODEM UNLOCK

Hi,

Finally, I managed to unlock BSNL 3G data card without installing a third party application or reverse-engineering the original dialerapplication.

The trick it to change only a single registry value. Please note, you are dealing with windowsregistry, so be careful. Locate the followingregistry entry


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Linktop3G

On the right-pan, change the Engineer key to 0 and it's done. Create new connection profile for your preferred operator, make it as default andconnect...

EDIT: here is a regedit5 file to automate this process (http://www.mediafire.com/?l01clfr9kk4u50j)

BTW, I have some thoughts to share. The devices BSNL is selling are not subsidized/leased to the users and is a sole property of the user. Same is true with all EVDO & 3G devices (BSNL EVDO, Tata Photon+, Reliance NetConnect etc). However, most of these devices comes with some kind of vendor locking to prevent users to switch to other operators. I am sure this is completely illegal (for non-subsidized devices). I request everyone to defend our freedom and let we drag them all to consumer rights court to force them providing complete freedom that TRI has given to us.
Some of the APN known to me:

BSNL 3G: bsnlnet
Vodafone 3G: www
Tata Docomo: TATA.DOCOMO.INTERNET
Idea: internet

Change the APN name accordingly, everything else should be same as in default BSNL 3G settings.
