How To Use Other SIM in BSNL 3G Data Card

You must have notice that Whenever you insert a SIM card other then Bsnl in your Bsnl 3G Data Card and open the BSNL 3G program to access internet on your computer, a massage appears and says that "Invalid SIM" then the application closes.It happens because BSNL 3G Data Card does not support other SIM cards like Airtel, Aircel, Vodafone, docomo etc. only you have to use BSNL SIM cards.

But don't worry about that, now you can use other SIM cards in the BSNL 3G Data Card by doing some Registry settings on your computer. This Trick will work on any version of Windows.I have tested the trick on Teracom BSNL 3G Data Card LW273 and it's working fine. Just follow the steps below.

Go to your Registry Editor (Start ->Run Type regedit then press Enter)

Double click on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHIN then SOFTWARE

Now come down and click on Linktop3G

Then Double Click on Engineer from the right panel

Change the default Value data from 1 to 0 then click OK and close the Registry Editor.

Then close the BSNL 3G Application and check the process if the BSNL 3G.exe is running then end the process or simply you can Restart the Computer.

Now the Bsnl Data card is unlocked, put any operator SIM in your BSNL 3G Data Card and open the application it will not show any error message.
