In earlier times, there was no other alternative but to rely on the data cards / dongles of some companies , in order to surf internet , especially , in the remote areas for internet connectivity. With the improvement in the services and network coverage of 3G services , the users are inclining towards 3G day by day.
With the advent of 3G technology , the carriers / service provider companies started to sell dongles for internet connectivity on non – mobile devices. However, in these dongles , the service provider or SIM could not be changed , because , they were meant to be the carrier specific devices. In the recent times, a number of data card manufacturing companies have started to launch dongles , without any restriction of service providers. Hence , the user can change the SIM and carrier , according to the needs.
Here we have listed out top five 3G Data cards , which are supported by Indian cellular carriers. Let us have a look at them , one by one.
