Someday back I bought for myself a TATA Photon Plus High Speed USB Device for Mobile Internet, as connectivity matters when you are on the move.
Overall my experience with TATA Photon Plus is quite good and of course, TATA Photon Plus is way better than Reliance Net Connect, Idea Netsetter etc. when it comes to Connectivity, Speed and Customer Support.
The whole package includes:
Setting Up TATA Photon Plus Prepaid for your Laptop/Desktop
As soon as you plug in the USB Device in your Laptop/Desktop, Autorun will be executed and you can install the MODEM Drivers within minutes. The interface window of TATA Photon Plus is quite User Friendly, showing Network Strength, Buttons for configuring TATA Photon Plus and accessing your account related details like Logs, Speedometer etc.:
The Settings for configuring TATA Photon Plus with the Network will be provided at the time of purchase by TATA Photon Plus Dealer. These settings can be accessed/changed by going to Settings >> Profile:
Price
The price of this device is bit high, though it’s a best bet for you if you are a frequent traveler. I got the whole package for Rs. 1800/- which also included 5 GB of Data Transfer for 1 Month. You also need to submit your Photo, Address Proof and Photo ID Card like Driving License, PAN Card etc. at the time of buying and activating the device.
Connectivity and Speed
As soon as you click Connect, the device gets connected to the network almost instantly. Occasionally, it takes more than 30 Seconds to get connected to the Network. On an average, the device gets connected to the network in 10 Seconds.
Regarding speed, I am getting Download Speed around 0.60 MB/s (sometimes more) during daytime and around 1.66 to 3.50 MB/s at night. Sometimes, the speed is reduced to 0.15 MB/s to 0.20 MB/s – I think this is due to network congestion, but is sufficient for casual surfing and browsing the web:
The connection is constant and doesn’t break at all. Though if you are travelling in a fast car/train, the connection may drop/break eventually. I used this device in Surat and New Delhi, and am very satisfied with the performance of the device and network.
Roaming
Roaming on TATA Photon Plus is absolutely Free, provided that they have Network Coverage in the city where you are going. Although, the device Automatically switch over to speeds up to 153.6 Kbps (Tata Photon Whiz Speeds) in non-Tata Photon Plus regions. Even you can recharge your TATA Photo Plus Prepaid when you are on the move
Conclusion
Overall, TATA Photon Plus Prepaid is 8/10 for me when it comes to Connectivity, Speed, Network Performance and Customer Support. Also, this internet device is highly recommended over other internet devices like Reliance, Idea, AirTel etc.

Note:
- In some cities you may be getting this device on a small monthly rent, it’s recommended not to rent such products, as it may results in unnecessary consequences. It’s better to buy the device and enjoy it whenever you want
- If you don’t want to recharge your device every month, then you can Stop Recharging your TATA Photon Plus device for 11 Months after a recent recharge. But after 11 Months, your Photon Number will expire and you have to go for another Photon Number which will cost you around 100 to 150 bucks – Please confirm this again by calling Customer Care
- No matter, which is your default browser, TATA Photon Plus will open it’s welcome page (powered by Yahoo!) in Internet Explorer, every time the device gets connected to the internet!
