Kanpur got 3G

Took the following screenshot on my iphone 3GS in IITK campus after a long FAT hack session with Apoorva. Praneeth wanted to test the 3G so I put back my old BSNL sim to test it. Although not inside the lab but right outside it started showing 3G. Yet to test the data rate . To do all these just had to make a small APN setting as:

gprsnorth3g.bsnlmobile.in .


Sent from my iphone 3G[S].
