No option for "3G Mode Only"
By ATon
Don't go for it. It was working fine but after update, the network selection mode has become "3G support" which will mostly connect 2G. Everyone you need to search network and select 3G network.You will not be able to select 3G only mode.

What else do u want @ Rs.1650...???
By Sourabh Sharanon
Ok...so i ordered this modem last week on 18th June when it's price was 1799...the next day the price reduced to 1650....so i cancelled the order and ordered again the cheaper price modem...ha ha...got it 2 days back and using it since then...guys believe me this is the best modem @ this price range with WiFi hotspot....Don't Buy huawei E8231...that modem's price is 2150....why spend Rs.500 more when u will get the same speed with both the modem.....although E8231 has maximum speed of 21.1 Mbps and of this modem is 14.4 Mbps...but guys...u will never get 21.1 Mbps by a 3G operator in India...so spend money wisely....This modem's Wi-Fi reception is quite good...i have 4 rooms in my house and a dining hall..i plug this modem into any power socket and i access net through hotspot in my Lumia 520 from any corner of my house and yet the speed is quite good...i use Aircel 3G 2GB unlimited plan....another thing is there is no need of installing the software and clicking the connecting and disconnecting button....simply plug into USB port and net will automatically start accessing into ur default browser....It's Black look is also quite sexy...xactly like TATA photon plus Wifi....just buy it without thinking much..u won't regret...:)
great product
By Shanmuga Priyanon
I have been using it for a month...its a great product , previously I bought huawei e303c from flipkart it had 3g and call support but I needed a datacard with wifi enabled so I sold the e303c in olx and bought this e8221 ...we can plug it in wall socket and use wifi for our mobile and it connects seamlessly...i am using multicharger with USB for this data card ...so far its great..ill recommend this product but if u need call support then opt for some costly huawei data card
Good Wi-Fi
By Shivam Saxenaon
This product is of good quality and much atable one.
pros:
1. any service provider's sim can be used.
2. Delivers good speed. Experienced 900KBps speed on my 3G airtel sim.
3. UI is simple to understand and therefore simple to handle.
4. WiFi system is awesome.
cons:
1. takes a lot of time to initiate itself.
2. USSD function is not available.
This product is perfect for wall wifi....
Buy this and Don't waste Money on Tata Photon,Airtel Datacards For wifi
By Geo Cherianon
I have been using This product for Last 2 months.
If you are sure that your Internet speed wont't go above 14Mbps, Go for Huawei E8231 datacard.
Check your speed in an android phone using OOKLA speed test app.
This can help u create Wifi Zone anywer you go when us have access to a Power plug.
Please Dont waste money on Buying Wifi datacards given by network providers.They are 1.costlier,2.Can't change sim,3.Speed only upto 7Mbps on most of them
After 2 months of heavy use, + & - are
Pros
1.Black body helps to absorb the heat produced inside to be emitted Out better compared to white datacards.
That realy makes sense when u consider the natural Thermodynamic process which happen when heat is produced inside.
So Heating is stable and Not that overheating even after 6 hours of Non-Stop use
2.Wifi Zone anywer with help of USB charger.
This is so Awesome when it give Wifi when going somewhere on car or train
3.Speed upto 14 Mbps is enough for all sorts of online activities....though actual speed depends on network provider
Cons
1.No way to know Data Remaning on sim,yet shows data usage till its disconnected
You will need to Put the sim on a mobile to check Balance details
2.Very poor Indicator Light...It is just given for name sake...Size of pen's nib
You will need to have a close look to find light working
3.Wifi Range is less than 8 meters
4.No seperate software,but a browser page to manage the data card
It is annoying to input Username&Password every time to disconnect or change any settings
5.No facility to mange the datacard when pluged to a Power Source
Verdict
There is no Datacard in market which can replace this product right now.
If you need to use different devices... PC,Mobile Phones,tablet etc together by internet access from a single sim,with Portability and cost Low,There is Nothing Better than Huawei E8221.Go for it
I buyed for Rs1650
Excellence with some limitation but overall thumbs up
By VINAY KUMARon
Very good product and Flipkart service are awesome. Competitor online store are many now and in figure increase day by day but flipkart maintain their presence very well. Product available are genuine, trustful with good pricing. Also shipping are fastest.
I have already Huawei E173 modem and like to upgrade with this type of product that include wifi feature. Huawei E8221s-1 available at flipkart on 1675 Rs. but i got some more off by WS retail and got it at more less price.
After using 4 days i wish to share some pros n Cons of Huawei E8221s-1:
Pros-
1. Signal reception is excellent
2. Web Browser based setting and control. So no need to install s/w just plug it and it do its work. Even you can access their control by any browser of phone or laptop etc.
3. Auto APN. Just insert your DATA SIM and it detect everything require.
4. Wifi Range is good.
5. No need of PC for working, just plug on your USB wall charger and it creates WiFi for upto 10 devices.
6. Black Colour Looks cool and Build Quality as usual as Huawei, Nice.
Cons:
1. No USSD support. You can solve this by some extra work. If your network of DATA sim have android app then you can track your uses by that. Huawei MW app also available at play store but it works at data counter so you have to set your data plan detail. Same as statistics tab on Huawei web browser settings provide data counter. SMS facility is their So if your network provide facility to check data balance through sms then its alright.
2. No memory card reader. But i said now a day who used a card reader, who want to do OFF their phone remove back cover and battery and then remove memory card for data transfer. now a day everyone have Regular USB to micro USB cable that enough for data transfer and more convenient.
