Hello Narendra, I am using a BEETEL ZTE MF631 HSUPA 3G data card . It works well with every 3G operators and also in 2G networks. I am using BSNL GPRS @99 -2GB per month.Speed is fine so you can go for it. I am using ubuntu 10.10. The software given with the datacard only works with windows ans MacOS but by creating a new connection in ubuntu you still can use it. *Regards,* *Apu* Use linux live free
