The Many Faces of Glenn Caruso
by Ryan Coleman on Jan.09, 2013, under football, Insights, MIAC, NCAA Tournament, OAC, WIAC
We realized very early in the season (before the end of their first game of the year) that St. Thomas' head coach Glenn Caruso would be an interesting character to cover. Nevermind the fact that we've seen him coach every single year he's been in Minnesota (two years at Macalester before taking over the Tommies) and we know how animated (continue reading…)
Growing our Network
by Ryan Coleman on Oct.13, 2012, under Hockey East, IIAC, Liberty League, MIAA, MIAC, MWC, NAC, NWC, OAC, SCIAC
We've been here and there for the last year, and our main photographers have been off doing other fun things for the last year but we've returned.
And it's been well over a year since we last blogged. We're sorry. We will work on that, I promise.
But here's the reason I'm here today: We want to grow our network. We're looking for skilled, experienced photographers who want to increase the traffic their galleries get and be able to have their work shown on the largest Division III sports network in the country: D3sports.com. We also have limited agreements with CollegeHockeyNews.com (Div I Men's) and USCHO.com (Div I Women's).
We are looking for two types of photographers:
- Photographers that cover specific schools/sports
- Photographers that will cover anything in their region
For the first time in our 10 years of covering athletic events we've moved our resale off our servers and over to Photo Shelter where we have a 1TB storage limit to accommodate fulfillment and distribution but we have also changed our main photo website to link to other people's websites. If you have a distribution site of your own that you'd like us to link to all you need to do is send us your game proofs.
We have a few expectations:
- Submit news photos to our media partners in a timely manner (within a few hours of the completion of your event) for possible inclusion to their website. Each partner site has different requirements for image sizes and we will provide that to you.
- Upload your proof images to our FTP server so we can put them into the large catalog. Right now we have over 600,000 photos from the last nine seasons available for our media partners to utilize in their stories.
- If we are linking to you we want proof images 2000 pixels wide/tall
- If we are distributing your work for you proofs should be 1500 pixels wide/tall
- If we are doing your distribution you will receive a second FTP account to upload directly to Photo Shelter.
We have one other requirement: File names and folder names should be in the following format: YYMMDD-HOME-AWAY[-team] with the file name having a 3- or 4-digit numerical extension. We highly recommend that you also utilize the IPTC data storage on your images with captions, keywords, contact and credit information. If we are handling your distribution we will supply you with a base file to work with where you can change your game-related information as needed.
We are a Photo Mechanic shop and can provide assistance with that and BreezeBrowser Pro in addition to using FileZilla for handling all FTP needs.
So… Now that we have that out of the way we've recently added Sabbyshots.com and OhioSI.com to our distribution network and picked up Eric Kelley from north central Indiana but we are always looking for more of you. We'll work with you to get the kinks worked out (and you can even upload your library from this school year in all sports). We don't have needs for all sports but we welcome any events you want to cover (Volleyball, Tennis, Cross Country, Wrestling, Lacrosse, etc.). We will run your credit as you wish to have it printed (within reason) and we will also go to bat on your behalf over any copyright infringement. All we will do is take 40% of your sales after costs are factored in to cover our expenses and time and we will even pay you via PayPal for large orders within 48 hours and the rest at the close of each quarter.
Markets we have covered a bit at the moment:
- Minneapolis/Saint Paul
- Los Angeles
- South Bend/North Central Indiana
- Central Michigan
But we want to grow. We want to have to spend more time than we have on the weekends and week nights processing your photos than we can afford to – but this is to make us all happy, right?
If you're a novice photographer we do ask that you let us know in advance. We will help you in whatever manner we can with the rules, expectations, requirements while at the event and even get you in touch with the SIDs that you need to speak with to gain access to the site(s).
We would like to expand into the following regions as quickly as possible:
- Chicago
- Seattle
- Philadelphia
- Pittsburgh
- Washington, DC
- New York City
- Upstate NY
- Texas — all regions
- Western Massachusetts
- Boston
- Ohio
- Southwestern Virginia (Roanoke/Bridgewater and possibly Greensboro)
- Any city with a Division I hockey program
- We're also looking for Basketball and Baseball photographers
Our network of experienced photographers have covered hockey, lacrosse, baseball, basketball, football (pro and college), basketball, soccer, tennis, cross-country, wrestling, swimming and diving, softball and track and field – just to name a few – and can help you get started covering an event. We've shot in many venues but a lot of schools have put time and money into improving their venues for the fans and the media over the past few years so what we remember the venues as may not longer be the case.
If I haven't scared you away already please feel free to send us an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Be sure you include your name, region, schools you know in the area, sports you've covered, the gear you own (this will give us an idea of what types of sports and venues you can work in), a link to your work and an idea of the experience you have in the field.
Please, we ask that player parents not contact us unless you have an interest in covering other sports. Also our needs on game day are relatively limited: We like uncropped, untouched photos as proofs ASAP. Sharpening is OK by us – as long as the image isn't over sharpened) and you can do touch-up work in post-production. Our staff photographers submit their work within a few hours of the completion of the game and do their color correction work on the final product. If you must crop please be considerate of the end user's possible interests in getting prints. They should be 4×6 in format and leave a fair amount of space for their wants. We tend to not do any cropping to our work and hope you feel that same way.
Thank you,
Ryan Coleman

I found some pics of me over the last few months sporting a few scarves. Despite how often I wear them ( and I do wear them often) I really don't have that many pics in them (its ok you don't have to cry)! Probably because I wasn't blogging until a few months ago so I didn't feel the need to document every outfit. I know, so devastating...
This scarf....bought it at Gap and wear it with everything. This was in my in-between-looking-pregnant-and-not-looking-pregnant stage. The solution?? Throw on a scarf to cover my "is she pregnant or is she eating too much?" gut. Reason # 343949324 why they rock.
Basic black T and jeans. Tossed on this mustard scarf and leopard print ballet flats and voila: you have a whole look.
Airplane ride? Toss one on with a T and you're still comfy but cute! This was on our way back from San Diego (side note: if you've never been...totally go).
I loved this outfit. This was after a
couple several winery stops in Ithaca (another place to visit if you haven't). Jeggings, riding boots, military jacket, navy and white striped shirt, and the pop of color with the mustard scarf.
Lastly, this outfit I can't wait to wear after this baby is no longer compromising my figure. Check out the outfit details right here
1. Add a pop of color to a look..
2. Turn an outfit into an actual look.
3. They are an inexpensive way to enhance your wardrobe.
4. I mean I guess scarves are technically made to keep you warm, if need be. But, whatever. I still go by my motto "fashion before function."
5. Work for all seasons. You can get really lightweight scarves for spring/summer.
Here is a little ditty I found on Pinterest that shows all kinds of ways to tie a scarf. I'm an old fashioned just one swoop around the neck kind of girl, but if you aren't check this out....
There is also another pin that has like 40 ways to tie one....who knew there were so many ways!?! Check that out here
So go. Go and build your scarf wardrobe! But don't blame me if you start to get addicted.

The Rebirth of Pontchartrain Park – New Orleans LA
We are excited to be a part of the redevelopment that is taking place in Pontchartrain Park. This is a community – driven initiative to rebuild this historic community with sustainable, beyond green home designs. The Pontchartrain Park Community Development Corporation, headed by actor Wendell Pierce , SRP Development and Stalwart Built Homes launched the rebuilding initiative with the opening of the model home on May 14, 2010.
Well already everyone see that cialis pills for sale can be found with ease in the Internet. In distinct on our website it is full of it. But you forget and constantly you ask.
The 1,000 gallon Original Rainwater Pillow system installed in the home's crawl space will be used to drip irrigate all the trees and shrubs. The system will collect approximately 600 gallons of water from one inch of rainfall. With an average annual rainfall of 57 inches, 34,000 gallons of water can be collected and used. The demand for municipal water is reduced along with the energy necessary to provide city water. Rainwater harvesting collects and reuses rainwater at the source. This system is fully automated and controlled by an irrigation clock.

The high temperature at Tampa International Airport broke or tied a record for the third day in a row on Wednesday.
The high Wednesday was 89, tying the record set in 1960.
The high temperature reached 92 degrees Tuesday at Tampa International Airport, eclipsing by four degrees the record for that date.
"It feels like summer, doesn't it?'' said Bay News 9 meteorologist Juli Marquez.
The heat wave has lifted temperatures as much as 10 degrees above normal. A weekend cool front should reduce temperatures to seasonal norms, the low 80s.

Letters to Insight, July 20
Updated 5:41 pm, Friday, July 18, 2014
Robert Reich is right on target with "As corporate power grows, economic freedom erodes" (Insight, July 16). He does a good job of detailing the numerous inequities of our current so-called free enterprise system. It brought to mind Anatole France's statement "The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread."
Do we really have (or have we ever had) freedom and justice for all? Sometimes justice can conflict with freedom.
Julie Spickler, Palo Alto
Parody of himself
Dull, boring, repetitive and utterly predicable. I am amazed that Robert Reich gets away with turning in the same column every week. Does anyone look forward to reading his pieces? His columns are reminiscent of a subpar graduate student's attempts to fill up space in an essay contest. Witless. Unimaginative. Soul-deadeningly dull.
How can one of the great newspapers give away so much precious Sunday editorial space for the same boilerplate, week after week?
Mitch Brown, Sacramento
Always grateful
Thank you every week for Robert Reich's column. Here is someone who makes sense and is able to explain clearly what has happened in our country. The majority of our Supreme Court justices seem to live in a fantasyland where the rights of the majority of citizens can be ignored, where voting rights no longer need protection because "prejudice no longer exists," where health care can be determined by the company one works for, and where corporations can pretty much do and say whatever they want.
Whatever happened to decency, integrity and honesty in our country? Or are those values only for us "little people"?
Mary Wehrle, Benicia
Sentiment shift
I thought it was very telling that Willie Brown reported in last Sunday's column that the e-mails to him about his July 6 column in defense of President Obama ran 60-40 in favor. That represents quite a shift in a region where Obama received more than 75 percent of the vote in 2012.
If I were Obama or Bay Area Democrats, I'd be very worried.
Cary Fulbright, San Francisco
Weekend mess
It would be great if CHP, the Golden Gate Bridge District and the Park Service could work together and figure out how to keep traffic flowing on weekends. Cars back up for the overlooks on the north side, blocking a lane on the bridge and causing jams that extend down Park Presidio and sometimes onto 19th Avenue as far as Stern Grove. It's bad enough that it can take two hours to cross the bridge, but it also screws things up for anyone trying to get around the western half of the city. Would it be too hard to get a couple of people out there to direct traffic at the overlooks?
Siobhan Ruck, San Francisco
Media hate
Eric Swalwell wrote at the end of "Border myths" (Open Forum, July 14): "For the sake of our country and these children, it is time to separate truth from fiction and act on the realities of this situation." This is so incredibly true! And this statement of his can be applied to many other topics running the newspaper mill. I just came back from Canada after visiting family. I read several newspapers and editorials on the children from Honduras at the U.S. border, the Iran talks, Syria, the Iraq troubles, the Afghan troubles and the Ukraine issue.
Hardly any of them mentioned President Obama, yet they were all informative and smart articles. I learned more from the week there than I have living here and reading all the writings on these topics, where found in them all is so much vitriol against the president and our government. It has become very clear to me the American media has a huge profit-making proposition attaching every social topic with blinding hatred of the institutions of the presidency and the government.
But this at the cost of an extremely unhealthy prescription for good citizenry: Media here sell hate, not information.
Guy Vigier, Novato

You ask!
It's been several days since I've posted an entry. Well, the answer is I've been stuck in Morro Bay, CA still experiencing engine problems. It's taken several days to get into a garage to get some assistance. Not being able to find a garage in small Morro Bay, yesterday I limped back into San Luis Obispo and into a garage. I hope to be on my way today!

Behold and rejoice people! The 3G model of Apple iPad works perfectly fine over BSNL's 3G network in India. So all of you who were waiting for some confirmation for this can go ahead and buy it.
The speed is amazing. Browsing experience is similar to what you get over a broadband connection with most pages loading within 5 to 10 seconds max. Download speed averages at about 50 – 60 KBPS per second at minimum and go till 100 – 150 KBPS during off peak hours. Still less than 2 Mbps but way better than EDGE. Downloading apps and books does not take much time unless the app is > 15 MB in size. If you have a US iTunes account, you can download media directly onto the iPad over 3G. But beware as it may eat up your data bandwidth. Sadly, Pandora doesn't work as it determines that you are not in the US based on your IP address.
Note that BSNL does not provide the micro sim which goes in the iPad's sim slot. But there is an easy workaround. All you need to do is cut the BSNL sim to the size of the AT&T sim bundled with the iPad. Just place the AT&T sim over the BSNL sim (matching the orientation using the diagonal edge) and cut it using a pair of scissors. Make sure you leave the same amount of edge space around the chip as in the AT&T sim. See the image below for reference:
Here are the APN settings you will need:
BSNL 3G (yes, username and password are blank):
MTNL 3G (prepaid):
MTNL 3G (postpaid):
Just restart your iPad once you key in these settings and you should be all set.
Liked this article? Like us on Facebook!
[…] 47 You won't need to jailbreak it. Just cut the sim and you should be good to go: iPad 3G working with BSNL 3G in India | woikr And BSNL provides free data roaming over it's network across India. Including over MTNL in metros. […]
Awesome.. Thanks for the info.. will it work for iphone 4 also ?
@Google Guy,
Theoritically yes, but do check back when we get handson the new iPhone4 and after checking it out (unlock procedure may hinder our attempts). But we'll try.
I have set the SIM in Apple IPAD 3G , But how to activate the network ? Now the Apple IPad is showing Cellluar service. If the setting is done in mobile and sim set in IPAD will work or not ? plz help
So anything Cropped Sim cards,will work,all networks,provided its GSM.
Great.Back to the board guys.
This is one great mobile device.Waiting for camera though on iPad.Will love to do video chat using 3G anywhere.Imagine
Hi. But does it work in Delhi? I hv the mtnl 3G card and it doesn't work with iPad in Delhi but works fine in OKHLA and noida where it must be shifting over to the VSNL network. Thanks
It should work over MTNL's Dolphin network in Delhi. I had a BSNL 3G sim from UP East which worked fine over MTNL's 3G network while roaming in Delhi. In fact, the speed was much better. I got around 100 KBPS over MTNL as opposed to 50 KBPS over BSNL.
And Okhla and Noida are covered by MTNL. The Delhi cellular circle includes the satellite towns of Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurgaon & Faridabad.
Hi vikas,
I have identical problem as you have mentioned above. My iPad works fine everywhere except Delhi. Am based in gurgaon, it works fine there too. Have even tried in Mumbai, chennai, hyd and Bhopal. How did u get ur Delhi problem sorted out?
can i use normal sim in ipad
You will have to crop it to the size of a micro sim as shown in the photo above to be able to insert it in the sim card slot in iPad.
Worked fine for me too…changes frm 3G to E wherever no 3G exists..but it definitely eats up battery fast. All I have done is buy top up time online.but is it different that I buy data plan
do you have any advice for bangalore's bsnl 3g settings on an mtnl 3g sim from?
i have tried bsnlnet without username and password and with username and password of mobilenumber and with 91 prefixed to the mobile number. nothing seems to work.
You should use MTNL's APN. It should work fine:
APN: pps3g
username: mtnl
password: mtnl123
APN: mtnl3g
username: mtnl
password: mtnl123
what data plans are available with BSNL that would make the ipad 3G worth it ?
AT&T in the US has changed (ie reduced) their data plans as the ipad does chew up a lot of network bandwidth.
You can check out BSNL's 3G data plans : http://www.bsnl.in/service/3G/3G_files/3g.htm
my ipad doesnt work with the bsnl 3g connection…have configured the APN to bsnlive and have tried bsnlnet too…Any ideas what might be the problem?
have tried all of that u have mentioned above.
Nope the 3G has not worked ever though the wi-fi is working fine. it is a pre paid connection.
I have a 3g ipad wid bsnl 3g sim bought nd activated in faridabad.. It works fine in faridabad and noida, two areas i tested, but no where in delhi.. At least no where in south or central delhi, from which, i count that it wont work in delhi.. It shows full network, but says cellular network not available.. Tried with all settings(restarting.. Roaming on etc.) but no help.. Anyone else experiencing the same problem? Any solution or is it that bsnl 3g data connection dosen't works in delhi at all..??
Fixed the 3G sim in iPad,signals good on safari error MSG not subscribed to… Apn settings taken from customer care, restarted ,jst not workin in gurgaon…any tips APN gps3g usrname mtnl PWD mtnl 123 data setting on ……
Please anyone help me.
I am fed up with this bsnl card.
I have a refill of 110 in it.
i have the APN setting "bsnlnet" with rest blank.
now even after restarting many times, it gives the same error in safari
" Could not activated cellular data network _ the cellular data network is temporarily unavailable"
now i tried contacting bsnl, and they are clueless about what to do.
now what i noticed that the sim tries to send a sms, but as ipad doesnt support sending sms, it gets failed.
this same sim works fine in any phone.
Now can anyone guide me what should i do ???
i am in mumbai
Have there been any successful 3G BSNL connections being made in Bangalore with the ipad ?
Hi, Iam Delhi based, i've got the MTNL 3G Sim, can you please help me how to activate data services on that. it is showing 3g on top & IN-DOLPHINE.
while accessing it shows "could not activate cellular data services"
Can't say anything for Sarkari Kaam…
I i tried the same MTNL 3g sim, & it worked this time but under E, not 3G, even after APN setting done for 3G.
if it is working under E (edge), can we use nay other sim as Airtel, Aircel or Vodafone etc.
Yes. You can always use it over the EDGE network of any GSM carrier.
However, 3G offers much faster speed compared to EDGE.
Q1.I am using prepaid MTNL for now, as the sim workd under EDGE/GSM, can i change the plan to postpaid on the same number…or i need to buy a new postpaid sim???
Q2. if i go on roaming, do i need to change the APN setting every time on different states.
I hav the mtnl microsim now n can I use it in my mobile again?
i've been using an MTNL 3G prepaid sim on my iPad in mumbai. i've bought a recharge coupon. how do i punch in the code to recharge it as the iPad doesnt have any keypad to dial numbers and send?!
Can any body tell me that can we use apple ipad for making calls or sending sms.. If not what will happen wen v get the call ven v r using ipad … And is this legal using 3g in ipad through bsnl …is there any unlocking code for ipad wen v r buying it frm us like i phone…
No you cannot use iPad for making calls or sending SMS. It only supports 3G data.
Nothing will happen when you get a call or receive an SMS. You will not hear any ring or alert.
It is completely legal to use the iPad with BSNL (or any other) 3G network in India. The iPad is sold officially unlocked from Apple and you are free to use any carrier of your choice.
No unlocking code if required. I bought mine from US and it works perfectly fine out of box in India over BSNL 3G.
Hi Setu,
I just bought a BSNL 3G pre-paid sim card in Bangalore, activated through a normal phone, cut it in size and is recognized by my iPad.
I did the APN settings as bsnlnet and also tried with gprssouth.cellone.in but none seems to be working. I restart the iPad but it continues to give me the message that I'm not subscribed to cellular data services.
I've the data roaming on, cellular data on.
Can you help with some more pointers. My iPad screen shown cellone 3G, so it is certain that the SIM is recognised.
Thx, Rakesh
Can you see if you can access any site over 3G using any other 3G phone?
If it is working there, then you probably need to be patient when using it for the first time in the iPad:
1. Set APN as bsnlnet and leave username and passwd as blank.
2. Enable cellular data roaming.
3. Restart iPad (long press the sleep button and slide to power off).
4. Switch on the iPad and wait for 3 – 4 minutes after you see see the 3G logo. This time is needed for the device to register on the network and get an ip address.
5. Open Safari and try accessing http://www.google.com. It should ideally work.
Dear sir,

please give me details
3g jadoo
network shows as IN-DOLPHIN E
NO 3G symbol
internet is very very slow
i think it is working on 2G
My dad purchased an ipad form USA. He has got a BSNL postpaid 3G card. After cutting it and putting it in ipad, he gets the message 'no sim'. Can you please help?
Hi Guys ,
I cropped off my micro sim correctly and still it showed " no sim " i went to the internet and found some useful tips and it worked. I tried switching off my ipad inserted the sim and switched it on , it just worked. Its all set now. Try it out!!!
I just activated my 3G in my ipad , Now i will guide the people having problems.
Now this is a guide for people with IPAD in MUMBAI.
1st DONT BUY A BSNL 3G card !!!! (it doesnt work)
Buy a MTNL 3G card. it will cost you Rs.101 and a rechage coupon will be given to you with it of worth Rs.91
Documents need for taking the card is 1 copy of id and address proof and 1 COLOUR photo
NOW DONT CUT your sim card now. You need to do few things before doing this.
Now put this in a phone and activate your no. by dailing on 400 and restarting your phone. (now my no. got activated the next day. I tried dailing 400 on the same day i purchased the sim but it didnt get activated, so please be patient this is MTNL ;), ok )
Now recharge your account with the recharge card you got with the card.
You will get a balance of Rs.41
Now, call on 1503 and then 3 for english , 1 for information and then 5 for 3G.
tell the guy that you want your 3G activated and need the 3G setting for your phone.
they will tell you they will send it to your phone automatically via sms, i waited for these sms 1 day but it didnt come, so my advice do the setting manually your self, and then check that 3G is working in your cell phone.
He will guide you on how to do it manually.
Now, Get a refill for your card of MTNL 3G, i got one Rs. 250 with 500mb usage.
now refill this card in ur ac, you will get an adittional Rs.14 balance in ur ac, this meen that the card got recharged.
Now , check your 3G is working in your phone. Go to Settings, Phone setting and then network setting and select network UMTS , now if your net works now, it means you are on 3G.
Now cut your sim card , now the mtnl card is wide, so u will need to cut it off with care and very closely to the metal chip.
Fit it in the sim tray of ipad.
now do the settings.
APN: gprsppsmum
USERNAME: mtnl
Pass: mtnl23
now restart it 2-3 times and each time check in safari if 3G is working
I had to restart and try 3 times, after that with the same above setting 3G started working perfectly !!!!!
Now i waited 1 day for my no. to get activated, and the 1 day for the 3G to get activated (they wont give you the setting untill its activated .)
then next day for the automatic settings to come to me,
the next day i did the saettings manually and the 1 day i checked the 3G in my phone properly.
the next day i cutted the sim card, and activated the 3G in my ipad.
so GOOD LUCK and
EnJoY !!!!
Hi Yusuf,
I have an MTNL 3G Dolphin Prepaid Card. I have done the same steps, but no luck. The iPad keeps complaining as follows:
"you are not subscribed to a cellular data service"
Any suggestions?
Refer to yusuf's detailed comment above (http://woikr.com/ipad/ipad-3g-working-with-bsnl-3g-in-india/comment-page-1#comment-22598) and try out those steps.
I have done the same steps…but not working on iPad.
I have received the setting for my Nokia E63, it is working.
I could see from the connection setting (of Nokia E63) that they are redirecting the internet requests through a proxy. So, how can we connect to the internet without a proxy setting on iPad. For the cellular data connection iPad is not providing any option to specify a proxy server and port.
If its working on Nokia E63, it should ideally work on the iPad as well.
Make sure you have configured the APN properly. Try restarting it a few times.
After restarting, wait for 3G icon to appear and give it 2 – 3 mins before you open Safari. It takes some time for the device to register on the network and this time is pretty long with MTNL and BSNL networks.
Try opening google.com. Be patient. MTNL and BSNL have very high latency. Sometimes, it takes 10 – 15 seconds for the DNS to resolve the domain before it starts loading up.
Is there any issues specifically to "Dolphin MTNL Prepaid Card"?
Can you guys specify which SIM you are using, Dolphin OR Trump?
Nokia E63 is connecting via proxy. I am not sure how the same will work on iPad until unless the MTNL guys forward all the request to the "gprsppsmum" APN to the proxy server:port
Hey folks,
I am staying in Uttarakhand – Almora. Does anyone know if there is a plan that would allow me to use 3g here?
Also, would I be able to subscribe to BSNL's blackberry plan? or would it have to be a separate 3g plan?
ANY help would be welcomed.
Currently only BSNL and MTNL have 3G services. You will have to reach out to them to find out if they offer 3G services in your area.
You do not need the blackberry plan to use internet on your iPad. Blackberry plans are only for blackberry phones. If 3G services are available in your area, you just need a 3G data plan on your number.
Hello All,
Any one has an idea on what setting we have to make on the iPAD (cellular settings) to make it work in Bangalore. All the above queries are only for Delhi / Mumbai.
As far as I know, BSNL 3G settings are same across India. However, you should call the customer care and find out.
Here are the all India settings for BSNL 3G:
APN: bsnlnet
Yes, username and password fields are to be left blank.
Have there been any successful 3G BSNL connections being made in Chennai with the ipad ?
Yes, works perfectly.
I just got a 3G ipad here in Mumbai- bought the prepaid 3G BSNL sim, set it up and all but im unable to access the internet. How do you get the data service activated without sending an sms? please help
First, you have to get a MTNL sim and not a BSNL one for Mumbai.
And read yusuf's detailed comment here: http://woikr.com/ipad/ipad-3g-working-with-bsnl-3… and you should be good to go.
My iPad is working, but it is working on Edge Network and not on 3G Network. Is there any setting that needs to be done for 3G Network to be accessed?
Hi, you can not get the data services activated unless you've sent the text msg to service provider upon buying a new SIM.
Since iPad will need the SIM card to be trimmed to size, it is best to wait till you've activated the data plan using a notmal phone and then use the SIM into an iPad.
All the best !!
Hello all,
I'm still trying to see if there is anyone in Delhi who has an MTNL prepaid SIM working in the iPad. I am about to cut one to try it.
For info, I have had the same problem – message that "you are not subscribed to a cellular data service" with an unlocked iPhone in Delhi. EDGE works fine when 3G is shut off, no data service when 3G is switchd on.
However, recently (last week or so), I have been able to get, for some reason, my iPhone to take the 3G signal (download speeds of 200 to 500 Kbps) in South Delhi, not sure why, and so was hoping that the same towers would bring me luck with the iPad.
As for why MTNL would have this policy, I suspect (given what MTNL told people above) that they have agreed to not let iPhones onto their 3G networks. Reason being agreement with Airtel and Vodafone as the official carriers, although what MTNL gets out of it, I can't understand! Perhaps some national or world-wide agreement of a consortium of carriers to respect each other's locks and prohibitions (eg some countries' SIMs do not work in India). As for blocking this on an iPad, that baffles me even more! I can't imagine a carrier lock on the things when they are to be sold in India?
I might also add that I have had difficulties getting Airtel and Vodafone SIM cards to work in the iPhone as well, even on Edge. Apart from the APN entry problem, which can be overcome, they seem to want to block access to iPhones not officially sold through them. Which makes me wonder whether putting their SIMs in iPads, when they launch 3G service in the coming months, will work. I fear that they will block out all iOS devices, including the iPad. I also worry that factory unlocked iPhones will have the same experience.
I remain baffled by the differences in BSNL, VSNL and MTNL policies and their implementation!
Has anyone successfully put an Airtel or Vodafone SIM (on Edge) into the iPad (in Delhi)?
Just for people. Got a BSNL 3G in Kerala and cut it. Works fine and have used it for roaming with no problem. Would anyone here know how to check the balance on this. Am sure there is a website for it ..but where data.bsnl.net.in does nto seem to work. BSNL said that put it in a cell phone and it will tell you the balance..but then..I obviosuly cant do THAT now 🙂
Anyone can help?
And, for information, my MTNL 3G (prepaid) SIM is now working in South Delhi (using it near Mathura Road) in an iPad! Steps were:
1. Get an activated MTNL SIM.
2. Activate the 49 Rs "lifetime validity" card (*400# [16 digit code]#) in another mobile phone.
3. Top up (same #400 procedure as step 2), either with regular Trump or with Jadoo-specific.
4. Cut the SIM
5. Enter the APN data
Then test it!
Thanks for these steps Chris! Appreciate it :).
Sorry for cross-posting from another site, but here's a bit more information
1. Balance checking for the amount of data left on a prepaid MTNL SIM using 3G is best done, I think, by putting the cut sim into another phone, such as a Nokia. Dial *400# (sending request), and you should receive 2 SMS messages back within a minute. The first SMS gives "talk" time remaining and end date, the second gives the volume in bytes remaining (and video call time remaining, for what it's worth). To receive such information in the second, of course, you will need to have topped up with a 3G Jadoo card. If you call 444 instead, you don't receive the information about data left, although you get all other information (including a mistake in the transcription of minutes to seconds on the video call time left).
2. The price per MB seems the same for Postpaid and Prepaid 3G top ups.
3. Delhi MTNL's site says that there is no extra roaming charge for getting onto related networks (BSNL or MTNL Mumbai) for postpaid, but it provides no information about prepaid. I'm guessing the answer is the same for prepaid, though. Can anyone confirm?
4. At the low end of 3G Jadoo top-ups, there is not much advantage in using a top-up card (around 1.3 MB per rupee) over the "regular" top up card rate of 10 KB per paise (which is 1 MB per rupee) which can always be used for 3G service as well. The amount of MBs per rupee changes significantly as you go up, to eventually 10 MB per rupee, and of course "infinity" at 1800 Rs.
5. Wow, does 3G draw battery power from the iPad, much more than video or graphics use! It's still a fantastic battery, but 3G drains more than I had thought, it would.
this is mehul here
i am using an apple i pod
i just want ot know that which plan of bsnl u r using for internet usage
Pleased to say that I'm sending this from my iPad! No wifi!
I opted for Bsnl's Rs 274 unlimited 2G plan (3G is not offered in my area)
For cutting the sim, there's some great pics of what a final cut should look like. Here:
I just have a question for anyone else who may be going the 2G way…
Has anyone used the same BSNL plan? Anyone encountered any issues with the plan. Basically I just hope I don't wind up with some excess usage fee and the end of the month. I've heard of failed BSNL "unlimited" schemes in the past!
But otherwise. Reasonable speeds for simple usage. Especially considering I'm in the Himalayas!
In my experience, BSNL doesn't deduct the usage at all. I recharged with .5 GB 3G voucher and I used up much more than that. I had to recharge only to increase validity.
It was in Lucknow.
but how it is possible to use 2g internet on ipad?? if possible then would i be able to do the same with my 2g bsnl sim and then use it on ipad??
You can use your iPad with 2G networks as well. Insert a GPRS enabled Airtel sim and you should be all set to surf the web at 2G speeds.
What is the difference between gprs enabled and gprs disabled??If i buy a new airtel 2g sim and activate internet on it then will it be gprs enabled or gprs disabled??And will I be able to use it on ipad smoothly??
Yes. Once you activate internet, it will be GPRS enabled. And yes, you can use it with iPad.
and what settings will i have to use if I put 2g Sim of airtel ??Whats the difference between gprs enabled and gprs disabled?
Usually it works as is. However, if it doesn't, use the following settings:
APN: airtelgprs.com
(Yes, username and password are blank).
A GPRS enabled sim is one on which you have activated the internet facility. A disabled one is the one on which you haven't.
what settings will i have to put in 2g gprs enabled airtel sim in Ipad like we have to put
APN: bsnlnet
for bsnl? 🙂
thanks…… 😀
i ll get new ipad in march so inquiring about it before. thank you .. do you have any idea when new ipad will be launched??
Hi, I'm on roaming in Delhi with the bsnl sim and all I did was type bsnlnet in the apn settings and left the rest blank.
Works flawlessly..!

I've a bsnl 3G which was working fine. Now I'm roaming in Mumbai, it shows up Dolphin. After reading Yusuf's info, I changed APN settings, but no luck. Any suggestions?
hi guys
please help ! i have bought a new ipad and now need to activate 3g with a sim card. i have my work place in delhi and my residence in gurgaon and also i keep travelling around north india often , please suggest whether i shud go for a MTNL 3g sim with roaming or BSNL 3g sim with roaming. which one is better.
It doesn't matter as data roaming is free in both all over India. Both are same as BSNL uses MTNL's network for roaming in metros and MTNL uses BSNL's in other parts of India. In general, in metros, you will get better speed compared to other areas. But that is irrespective of BSNL or MTNL.
Since you live in NCR, it might make sense for you to go for MTNL.
thanks a lot, i bought an MTNL 3g trump sim on saturday, but it didnt work in my iphone. after repeated trials i understand that my i phone is locked by airtel to only airtel sim cards. therefore immediately i put it in my nokia phone and it was perfect.
its been smooth sailing, easy activation and then some careful cutting and my ipad accepted 3g sim in the first go.
did the settings you guys had posted for apn and its cool.
thanks guys a lot.
god bless all
now, could you guide on how to play flash sites on ipad.
[…] soon as I got my hands on it, I inserted my BSNL 3G sim (which I have been using with my iPad 3G) into the phone and configured the APN. And as seamlessly as apple can be, I was able to browse the […]
For all those guys for whom bsnl 3g internet is not working the best solution would be to google and download iphone configuration utility.more info at firstname.lastname@example.com
it has worked for me
Dear sir ,
i have i pad and basnl 3g sim i want to know how to activate the 3g service please advice me
Hi, iv been trying to get the ipad working on the bsnl 3g network but no luck. I am in Mumbai and apparently 3g prepaid network is down but they say it should be ok after 19th. Is anyone having the same problem? If not what am I to do.? It works on edge but not on 3g.
Any suggestions are welcome.
hi, i m planning to buy an i-pad wifi + 3g – 32 gb.i have a bsnl 3g sim card working in my phone,,,,will this work on i-pad?
i m in jalandhar , punjab…………..plz help me!
Yes it will work. Go ahead and buy it.
hey , i have one more query that if i will be able to view my power point presentation , spreadsheets , word in it and edit also….
How to check the data used and the data left after using BSNL 3G .Do the send a message??Does is appear on iPad?
[…] SIM cards only. Although we have been cropping the mini SIM cards in India and using them with iPad and iPhone 4, many people are still hesitant to do that and are waiting for an official […]
Are the settings for both bsnl 3g and 2g the same??
Hmm. I could have sworn my card was a 2g card. In any case… I had activated the unlimited 2g plan for 274 rs (only). But now i am roaming out of uttarakhand and noticing 3g.
Any chance i should expect a bill from bsnl or is this just some mysterious chance that im seeing (and receiving) 3g speeds?
Nah. They won't charge you extra. There only one rupee difference between recharges for 2G data and 3G data. So I do not think there should be any extra charge.
I am planning to get an IPAD 3G from the US. The apple store there said it wont work in India as the frequency is for AT&T which is 850 and 1900Mhz while in India it is 900 and 1800Mhz that is used. Hence someone was suggesting to take it from Singapore or Hongkong. Please guide if that is an issue.
Also will it work on Edge on Aircel network prepaid unlimited gprs plan of Rs.98/-.
Many Thanks!
Here is a link to the official BSNL document for APN settings. Will be useful for someone who need it. Includes Iphone/Ipad as well. http://karnataka.bsnl.co.in/3G/apnmobile.pdf
I have purchased a BSNL 3G sim card for my iPad and have also tried the APN settings but every time I start using it says that my ipad is not connected to the internet. Though it is showing up the service provider on top left corner of ipad. Please suggest.
Another Query.
When I am restarting my Ipad it shows a page saying Requesting Handset Configuration and bottom of the page it says accept or dismiss. If I accept it says your sim sent a text msg and then another page pops up and says temporary error and after that the internet doesn't work and if I dismiss at the first stage it doesn't work any ways.
Please suggest
Hi .. I too get the same error. did you find any workaround for this ?
I too get the same error but it is no way related with the internet connectivity of iPad. If ever your balance gets below Rs.50, then the GPRS services in your iPad gets locked. If u could not connect to internet even through a phone with APN:bsnlnet then contact a BSNL service center and they will unlock your GPRS services. Reinsert your sim in iPad and enjoy surfing. Make sure your balance doesn't get below Rs.50.
1. You cut the sim correctly if after inserting you get the signal.
2. go to cellular data and enter apn gprsppsdel and username mtnl. leave password blank.
After sometime, safari will work fine.
The above is for mtnl, for Bsnl, just insert the sim in nokia 3g phone and activate before cutting. the phone will receive gprs settings which you can note down. then follow steps above.
I m traveling to india from canada in dec,2010
I would like to take along my ipad.
What are my options for charging the iPad in india as
The ac voltage is different. Will my ac charger from USA work with
Indian ac outlets?
I tried doing all setting with MTNL 3G prepaid sim but it is not working. IN-DOLPHIN 3G signed is displayed on top left corner but unable to browse on safari…..Can you email me further course.
Hi this is a basic question- I got the 3g BSNL prepaid sim in mumbai and I was told to wait for an SMS that would provide settings for 3g activation. So I got a message that said to visit the BSNL website .
So I did an it's of no help absolutely. How the hell do I get thai card to work, do I send some message coz I was told it's not necessary and secondly if I receive the settings will they be for the phone that I use for sending the message or not.. Please help.. Thank you..!
THe SMS basically sends the APN and username. If you used he sim in a nokia phone before cutting it for iPad, then you would have been able to read it.
All you need to ask BSNL guys are the APN and username / password (if any). Maybe you can find it in the website.
Thanks I haven't cut the sim yet so I should be able to use it with a nokia phone. I hope this works..
If I request my cousin in US to buy an ipad 2 3G in US and send it to me in india, is it necessary for him to register at the istore in US or I can directly register in india on recipt on the brand new ipad. That is he will just purchase and send.
I am not sure what registration you are referring to, as there is no registration required when you purchase an iPad 3G in US.
If you are talking about registering for a 3G data plan, then you DO NOT need to do so in the US.
Just ask your cousin to buy one for you and you can use it with any 3G enabled sim in India.
You need to recharge your number with a 3G data recharge voucher first. Once it is done use the following settings:
Enable data roaming and restart the iPad. Give it a few minutes and you should be all set.
Also, you can use the cut sim card with a nokia phone. Just insert it in the sim slot in such a way that the chip on the sim is in the same orientation (use the diagonal edge to align it).
I tried doing all setting with MTNL 3G prepaid sim but it is not working. IN-DOLPHIN 3G signed is displayed on top left corner but unable to browse on safari…..Can you email me further course.
If it doesnt, just ask the folks at BSNL to give you the APN and Username!! You should be fine.
Happy paddin.
If I buy Ipad from USA does it work in Indian Condition or I have to buy from India only?
@DARSHAN, Yes, it does. iPad is not officially available in india
If i buy an iPad from Apple reseller in US will the 3G work for me in India. If yes wats the difference between locked version and international version?
How to check if this is Intrenational version or the jailbreak one.
Hi Prateek all the ipads sold in the US and other countries are unlocked. You need not worry on that. Please check the availability of micro sim or else you would have to cut your simcard. Please go ahead and buy. It's worth the price.
Hi All,
I went to a Apple show room here in US to enquire about the 3G service outside US. Apple guys told any I-Pad(3G option) sold in US will not work outside network.
This is because AT&T has some tie up with APPLE and Apple guys altered the firmware or may be h/w to be compatible with AT&T network only. 🙁 I am not sure APPLE sales men talking some shit here or what to frighten ?
So they told one has to jailbreak the I-PAD, or buya international version for other carrier to work fine….
I am bit confused, Does anyone bought Ipad recently and without jail breaking he/she accessed 3G in india? (by cutting the SIM/ registering with BSNL prior to using in I-PAD.)
I am afraid to jailbreak but it will screw the warranty that is the only concern… please advise…
That is what I was told as well. But the guys in the applestore don't really know since they haven't tried it abroad.The ipad does come with an AT&T chip that will not work in India.
You DO NOT need to jailbreak your ipad. It works perfectly fine with a cropped chip as shown in this article and manually enter the APN, USERNAME AND PASSWORD which you will get from bsnl/mtnl customer care.
For information, the AT&T SIM card of a US bought 3G+WiFi iPad should work in India as well, but at rates that are, ah, let's say, just slightly above market rates here…
For that reason, I took out the AT&T SIM and put in an MTNL one shortly after its arrival in India.
The international roaming rates are something that kill your wallet faster than you can put money in it.. I cannot understand why they try to fleece people on international trips.
Last year, I paid $1000 just because I wanted to use facebook and post some pictures I took !!
These guys need to be regulated.
There are no jaibroken iPads. It is not required to Jailbreak it. You can safely and happily buy one in the States and use it here in India as I am doing.
Happy paddin
Dear Anurag,
Is it possible to get bsnl micro sim in kerala circle
I bought IPad in US and will be using in India. It has AT&T sim in it. On registration it was activated automatically. Now IPad is able to connect to few service providers (may be international roaming of AT&T card). if I use this connection for surfing or emailing, how much this will cost me?
A Bomb!!!!
Thanks. I will wait for few days for docomo 3G service.

Hi people
I live in the uk and am coming over to india soon. I have an iPad 3G. Which is the best network to go with? I'm only coming over for 3 weeks.
I will be in Mumbai and going to Gujarat.
Hi, Can any one give me advice about getting a 3G SIM for my laptop in Goa? I will be there in a couple weeks and need a very good internet connection (is the 3G service fast there?) I have a 3G enable laptop from IBM, so I should just need the SIM. Is BSNL offering the best service? Is it easy to get a SIM there, or would Delhi be better? Any advice would be greatly appreciated 🙂
Data roaming is free within India. So you can get a SIM anywhere its easy for you to get one.
And BSNL's 3G service is pretty fast almost throughout India. I have experienced fastest speeds in Delhi NCR. However, I have heard that its much faster in rural areas. I am sure Goa will have speeds at least comparable to Delhi.
Thank you Setu,
How can data roaming be free? I need to get a service providor….I think there is 1499 Rs. unlimited data plan for prepaid customers, valid for 30 days.
Before I had a hard time getting a BSNL sim card (for my phone) in Dharamsala – do you think this will be different in Goa, or is it different with laptop SIMs? I just don't want to get all the way to Goa and find out I cannot get the 3G service. Anyone who knows about this, please let me know, thanks! 🙂
Hi setu i bought an iPad and brought it to India want to take a 3gservice with bsnl.I am not finding the slot to put the sim where is it?
Do you have the iPad with 3G?
Does it have a Black band in the back – right on the top?
If yes, then there is a place to insert the SIM card – on the side on iPad.
If no, then you have WiFi model – so no 3G connectivity is possible.
hiii guys…
my brother is coming to india from switzerland in couple of days…..and he is bringing an ipad for me from there….all i want to know that can i use a 3G version of ipad imported to india from switzerland without jailbreaking it or i should switch to a wifi version only??
reply me soon frnds..
Yes it will work out of box. You will not need to jailbreak it. Just pop in a 3G enabled micro sim and you will be all set.
@ setu
thanks buddy thanks alot..
hi setu
i want to ask that can i activate and use ipad 3G without inserting micro sim in it in india?
Hi all,
Since the discussion is going on I wanted to ask the same question which has been answered already. I am planning to buy a US Ipad 3G version. Has anyone from the ealier posts have 100% confirmation about US Version of ipad's functioning properly in India. I don't wanna look like a fool after spending more than 600 bucks on the tablet. Otherwise I'll just buy a laptop.
Also has anyone tried Galaxy Tab(Android based) in India yet?
Hi Guys, I read above comments about BSNL 3G card, but I have two questions:
1. I bought MTNL 3G card in Delhi. How can I activate it? APN number??? username, password. etc..
2. Does BSNL also come in a prepaid option? What is the refill charges?
can i activate and use ipad 3G without inserting micro sim in it?
hi setu……
i want to ask that can i activate and use ipad 3G without inserting micro sim in it.
I give up – these questions are getting repetitive!. Folks, before asking the same questions again and again, it would be prudent if you spent some time reading the thread before posting!
Thanks Setu for the your useful and insightful comments. I could activate roaming by the simple steps you have written in your mail. God bless you !
Raj Kumar
Thanks a lot Setu,
I used your suggestion and bsnl 3g is working pretty good/fast on ipad, just activate 3g service by sending sms and enter following-its great.
thanks again

Once check if your sim is activated for 3G services. If it is activated for 3G and you are getting 'cellone E' on the top left corner of your device then it means that you are not in a 3G enabled region. If you are sure that your region is 3G enabled then roam around in a radius of 1KM so that you may get the 3G services.
Hello – Please Please HELP!
I have a phone number from Uttaranchal. I am currently in Kerala and I am not able to recharge from here because BSNL says they can only recharge for BSNL South! I want to recharge 274 (Unlimited GPRS – 30 days)
I also have a balance of 500+rupees in my account right now.
Is there any way to deduct 274 from my account and activate unlimited GPRS?
(in south india you can send an sms with GPRS249 to 53733 and it works)
I hope there is an sms i can send to activate for an uttaranchal number.
THANK you for any help please!
Hi Prasheen,
I had a similar problem last year – the only solution I found was to have a friend go and recharge my phone at a phone shop from the North- they just need the number and money to do the recharge, so you or the phone don't need to be there – do you have any friends from Uttaranchal that can go and do this for you? You can always use Western Union to send money around India, so if you're not going back up there again, you can send money that way. Or if you have the number of the shop you got the sim card from, you can try to contact them and ask them if you can send them money anyway (like using a courier, etc….)
good luck!
anyone know what the right APN settings are in you are using the BNL 3G in Goa?
Since yesterday, my iphone is getting a "helo" message on the screen continuously. I have to dismiss repeatedly. Has anyone got the same problem?. Kindly inform me if there is a solution to get rid of this problem.
Am not able to connect to my VPN with the BSNL sim, but working fine will all other connections – does BSNL support VPN connections? If so, any ideas about why this is not working?
Thanks 🙂
I hav an iPad 3G with WiFi with AT&T micro sim. Now I'm n Qatar and planning to go to Kerala,INDIA next week. I have 2 questions. pls answer…
1. Which type of sim card shall I use and who is good & cheap service provider?
2. Can I use Ipad as a regular mobile phone to send sms and make & receive calls using this sim card?
Advises are awaited..Thanks in Advance
1. You will need a micro sim card which is currently only available from Airtel. However, you can cut a normal sim to the size of a micro sim as described above and use it with iPad.
BSNL is a pretty decent 3G provider. There are private players such as Tata Docomo, Reliance and Airtel which have started 3G services in some parts of India. Check their availability before you purchase.
2. No.
As per recent rumors, the iPad (Gen1) is finally coming to India on January 28th 2011.
I'd hate to say this but it's a sick move from Apple when it's going to release the iPad2 in less than 2-3 weeks.

i want to ask that can i buy apple protection plan for my ipad in india…..i bought it from switzerland…..tell me something that how can i get service for my ipad india
Now that Apple is officially selling the iPad in India (http://woikr.com/ipad/apple-dumps-1st-generation-ipad-in-india), you should be able to get service in India. Get in touch with your nearest apple service center for this. Check the following page to locate service centers near to you: http://www.apple.com/in/buy/locator/

Dear Setu
I had bought ipad in US and using it with Airtel card (after cutting) in Delhi.It works perfectly in Delhi.
My problem is whenever I go out of delhi it doesnt work and if I manually select the available network options it shows no network coverage! Do help me out as the airtel ppl simply say they don't support Ipad issues.
Thanks – Rupali
Have you enabled Data Roaming under Cellular Data? You need to enable it to use it outside your home circle.
Hi Rupali,
how much you paid for your ipad? i mean did you pay extra apart from the price quoted at apple's website?
hi guys my name is kunal kapoor, i hve iphone 4 4g 4.2.1. 03.10.01 base band( locked by orange uk) plz help me how i unlock my iphone 4 4g waiting ur sugg… plz help
I want to order the new iPad 2 WiFi+3G for use as discussed here.
DEFAULT CARRIER CHOICE: Which one should I buy, the AT&T one or the Verizon one? Most of the time, I would be using Airtel or BSNL 3G.
INTERNATIONAL ROAMING: what are my choices for data access when roaming internationally (US, Canada mostly).
PAYMENT: I would be ordering online at the Apple store, and having it shipped to a US address.
– Would they allow me to pay with an Indian Credit Card (tried buying something once long ago, it failed).
– What should I do to be able to use iTunes without India restrictions?
APPLECARE: At $79, does the apple protection plan make any sense for a device with no harddrive and no keyboard? What would possibly fail?
This post and comments have been very useful. Thank you all!
I need to buy a ipad 2 from USA . will that work in India ? I need to use it with docomo 3g . please help
It should. iPad 2 is sold unlocked just like iPad.
My friend is travelling to US this april. I want to know if he can buy iPad2 wifi+3g without any contract? I am in doubt because someone told me that you will have to sign contract if you are buying ipad2 3g version.
Please reply.
i bought the postpaid 3g bsnl sim (north east region )
but still i cant surf net in my iphone 3gs
cud smbody plz help me out
thanks in adv
I was planning on surprising my dad (in Mumbai) with the new ipad2 3g version. Problem is, I'm not sure what 3g services and prices are available for Mumbai and Thane location.
is it as easy as signing up for a 3g plan with one of the providers (eg. vodafone, MTNL, BSNL) and they provide a 3g SIM (which u need to cut to make it a micro-sim), insert into the ipad2 and voila?
can someone give me a rough estimate on prices per month for 3g service in Mumbai?
Presently, i'm not sure if my dad has 3g on his mobile, he just has basic cell phone coverage. Just like the US, is it possible to sign up for personal hotspot 3g service if his phone and the provider support it? if yes, what models and providers support it?
Thanks for your comments Setu
I'm trying to decide between a wifi only iPad and a 3g+wifi iPad.
My thought process is, instead of buying a 3g iPad, why not just get a cell phone that has a mobile hotspot feature so it can share it's 3g connection.
I know the blackberry's do NOT have this feature until version 6.1 comes out.
does anyone know if any model of android has this? if yes, some model #'s would be great.
I'm in NY and yes, the iPhone 4 does have this feature.
Hey frnds, need help!
I am usin iPad 3G and recently bought a bsnl micro sim… I did a first recharge and the APN is set to bsnlnet yet I am not able to access net in 3G area.
On the top left corner it does show good signal strength and beside to it 3G, but when I open safari it say 'not supported'.
When I first inserted the sim there was prompt for sending message to the provider and I did accept and later it reported an error.
If someone has gone through this or knows a solution then plz do help.
I have bought a MTNL 3g post paid connection for iPAD. While being in NCR and Dehradun, it was working fine. Now, when I have taken it to Uttarakhand (Nainital), it is not getting connected-says Not connected. Cellone signal on top-left is coming full strength.
Pls advise, if any setting needs to be changed. Have tried with both BSNL and MTNL settings. Roaming is On.
Pls help.
I have a MTNL post paid 3g connection for Apple iPAD. While using in NCR and Dehradun, it was working fine. However, when I took it to Nainital-it has stopped working. I have tried it with both BSNL settings (APN) and MTNL. Roaming is On. Signal strength on top left is also almost full.
Pls advise, if any other setting needs to be changed or if any other action need to be taken to get it started again.

iam meena call from cochin
my ipad apn setting how to do active pl help me.
I am from Kerala. I used an idea prepaid card (with Rs.22 talktime) in my iPad 2 from US and it worked. I was able to use GPRS/EDGE to browse the net in safari. The APN was set to "internet". Just one problem i faced, it did not work when I turned off "Data while Roaming " setting. So using it with the setting turned on. Anyway, will try with 3G plan today. I was also able to insert the sim back to the phone .. cut the sim holder and made a clumsy but working adaptor. This is not much work…
Used IDEA 3G on iPad2 successfully.
Browsing speed seems slow. Youtube video, very fast. Speed test result: 1.2 Mbps down and 1.8 Mbps up.
Kerala, Cochin.
worked with TATA DOCOMO too. (EDGE).
Fair speed, for great value (Rs.48 – 2GB pack(2G)). Can check mails easily, but need to wait for apps (below 20MB) and attachments.
Speed Test: 110 Kbps down, 120 Kbps up
Conectivity a little inconsistant, but fair enough.
Used Tata Docomo (Kerala) in iPad2 while roaming in bangalore (with gprs 2gb pack). Worked fine.
Now that the much awaited iPhone 4 is announced. The iPhone lovers (read "Apple fans") in India are craving to...

Amtrak says that its Wi-Fi, a service that has been the butt of more than a few jokes ("Why Try"), will be upgraded by this summer.

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli President Moshe Katsav denied
on Friday allegations that he coerced a former female employee
into having sex with him, in his first public interviews since
he was interrogated by police this week.
"These are absurd allegations," he told the Yedioth
Ahronoth newspaper. "I never had sex with (the woman)."
Israel radio that he was the victim of a "public lynching
without trial or investigation."
Israeli police confiscated computers and documents from
Katsav's residence earlier in the week and have questioned him
for hours regarding accusations of sexual harassment.
Katsav's office has said he would cooperate with police.
Yedioth Ahronoth quoted Katsav as saying that he would be
willing to take a lie detector test if the questions were given
to his lawyer to review in advance.
Katsav told the newspaper that the employee was a
"troublesome" worker who was trying to blackmail him and that
he was pleased when she quit her job at his office.
If charged, Katsav would be immune from standing trial but
could be impeached by parliament if it determined he acted
inappropriately. He has been president since 2000.
The scandal involving Katsav, the indictment of a former
cabinet minister over a forced kiss and allegations against
other leaders have darkened the mood in Israel, where major
leaders have come under fire over the month-long war in

The problem is that the loader, when it is linked, is given asillyly large default stack size, and this causes the application to be given amuch larger stack than is strictly necessary - a stack that is drawn from alimited pool of non-pageable RAM and that must be allocated as a contiguouslump.The executables should take into account the amount of stack space needed tocall into all their libraries - and that includes the loader. You can arguethat the loader should specify the amount of extra overhead it will need, andthat this should be _added_ to the executable's stack estimate, but using theloader's stack estimate instead of the executable's does not really make sense.You can also argue that the executable doesn't know how much space the loaderwill use, because the loader can be independently replaced; but this isn't agood argument because the loader doesn't know how much the executable will use,and neither know how much the various shared libs will use. The only way to dothat is to add up all the stack estimates.Now, it *is* perfectly reasonable to use the loader's stack estimate in thecase that the loader is run as an executable. It could, for example, behave asthe GLIBC loader and have some functions available for shared library query andsuchlike.David

Beating the odds
Tromso and Killian renew their rivalry in the Churchills Sports Bar Handicap at Rosehill today. The last time they met was at Rosehill in December when Killian beat a luckless Tromso. Killian is resuming here while Tromso returned a winner at Rosehill a fortnight ago. Trainer Chris Waller will use the services of Daniel Ganderton, whose 1.5kg claim means Killian is giving Tromso 0.5kg. ''A nice horse,'' Waller said. ''If he runs well Saturday he'll go to Brisbane.'' Tromso had better pack the bag.
The way Buffalo put paid to rivals on the Kensington track at Randwick second-up from a spell suggests his winning run will continue. ''A very dominant winner last start and he can go right on with it,'' jockey Josh Parr said. The three-year-old is expected to make light of 57kg in today's Inghams Love'em Handicap at Rosehill. Rival Power Of Flight graduated from a Kembla Grange second to score well at Canterbury last start and is set to start favourite here. Buffalo at the odds.
Jockey Josh Parr is in line for a double, with Skytrain the one to beat in the last at Rosehill. ''His first-up win showed he is now willing to stick his head out and win,'' Parr said of Skytrain's victory at Rosehill a fortnight ago. Not only did Skytrain stick the head out but found plenty when challenged by Gangitano, which was in receipt of 4kg. Last time in, Skytrain may have buckled under pressure but not this time around. It augurs well, as the son of Lonhro has always promised plenty.
Bart Cummings knows how to win cups and Yaqubi may well be the way to go in the McKell Cup at Rosehill today. The Galileo gelding is a new player at this level, taking on the staying regulars such as Common Objective and Music Review, which fought it out in the Lord Mayor's Cup at the track a fortnight ago. On that day Yaqubi was forced four and five wide from the 800-metre mark when gunned down by a highly promising three-year-old in Summer Dash.
Stryker was entitled to compound in the Gold Coast Guineas two weeks ago. The group 1-placed sprinter was trapped three wide without cover on a solid speed and was overpowered late by the swoopers when finishing fourth. Jockey Jim Cassidy once again heads north to partner Stryker in today's Lyndhurst Stud Fred Best Classic at Doomben. Stryker will be launched from barrier 15 with Cassidy confident. ''I like the horse, he just needs a touch of luck,'' he said.

Amazon.com Review
Jesse's domestic troubles are gradually overshadowed, however, when ex-con Jimmy Macklin arrives in town. Macklin plans to pull "the mother of all stickups" on the ritzy Stiles Island in Paradise Harbor. He has figured out that the Stiles Island bridge, with its underpinning of utility cables and pipes, is a veritable lifeline to the mainland, and he's gathered a rogues' gallery of professional crooks and killers to help him take the bridge and make the island into a thieves' paradise. The one problem: Macklin never figured that Paradise, Massachusetts, would have a police chief as tough and resourceful as Jesse Stone.
As usual, Parker's stark and facile prose perfectly complements the masculine sufferings of his hero, and the action of the novel unfolds with an effortlessness that intimates a craftsman at work. With Parker's Spenser safely canonized as a detective fiction legend, Jesse Stone's unfolding world offers a welcome new addition to Parker's ouevre. --Patrick O'Kelley
