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.
