3G service offers services like high speed broadband, video calling & Mobile Tv etc. The high speed wireless broadband is most sought after of these all by 3G customers. But currently the 3G services are a bit costlier and that is the reason why mass migration from 3G to 2G has not taken place.
But here is a trick one can use 3G like speed on 2G connection if residing in a area where your mobile service provider has 3G connectivity.This trick may not always work but if you are lucky it may work. I tried it on Airtel and MTNL & BSNL connections and in all cases it has worked.
Below given are the steps to be followed:
- Go to settings in data card / mobile and select UMTS preferred, so that your data card chooses 3G Network
- Select the WAP/GPRS setting of the service provider as default setting. Do not choose 3G APN as default.
- Now try connecting, if you get connected on 3G network with WAP?GPRS settings you will get 3G speed and will be charged on 2G data rates only.
- Now you recharge with Rs.98/99 unlimited 2G recharge coupons and enjoy high speed internet 2G connection.
Note: If 3G network is weak in your area, then select UMTS/WCDMA network only. This will prevent frequent network switch from 3G to 2g.

But there is no difference in 2G and 3G APN for most of the operators. Once you activate 3G then you will be always in 3G and even if you connect on 2G for browsing when no 3G signal available, you will be charged on 3G rate.
I think its not appropriate to write such articles on a good website…
“Popcorn” why not appropriate if some one giving paid for free?
Arre baba, such an old trick. I’ve been using it on my 5800, and on my droid PAd since last one year…
you do not require any setting for accessing 3g speeds on 2g plans.when you recharge with rs.98 for 2gb and use it on usb modem it gives you speed 0f about 2mbps.
This is all crap. Providers are smart. They are provisioning your SIM based on what plan (in case of postpaid) and what recharge (in case of prepaid) you are activating. For example if you recharged with 3G plan, speed goes above 120kbps but if you recharge with 2G plan, your speed is capped to 120Kbps. Switching your handset to 3G or 2G has no effect. Switching your handset to 2G when you have 3G plan on your SIM, will limit the bandwidth from your side but why would you want to do this?. One reason could be better stability on voice calls as 3G network signals are notorious and not reaching everywhere.
iam using idea 3g in my netsetter since 1 month for free unlimited download and browsing.
Depends.. It works for my friend.. but when i activated 98rs pack 2g, they disabled 3g on my sim. if i force my mobile to use 3g only, i get no connection.

Hi, while using gprs on the mobile via wireless modem, will we be charged on the post paid mobile too? please help. I am using bsnl post paid mobile and access for downloads via tata docoma. my bsnl bill was ranging between 4800 to 5000 last 2 months
When you are accessing internet via wi-fi modem then gprs is not used. But the broadband which is providing internet via wireless modem will be charged
the abve trick wil work for some operators, in BSNL we get about 256kbps(sometimes >256). but its not comparble with 3g speed, coz that may b more dan 3mbps….so its a bad trick
