I received the packet which they send to me and the Internet is working fine (Though I am not getting 3.1Mbps what they offered) with reasonable speed. The problem I faced was I don't know how to check my Internet usage. I followed the online instructions and found that we need to create an account first using our connection number and tata photon plus account number instead of a ready-made account usually provided by ISPs.
Then the second problem... I don't know what is my account number and connection number. The local Tata photon plus agents activated the device in my computer and went without giving any other clues. Somehow I found the Photon Plus account number by checking the mail (e-bill) and find the connection number via photon plus customer support. Now only I understood I am in time based plan instead of data based plan. So right now I send a request to tata photon plus customer support to change the plan and waiting for their response.
Update: Successfully changed to data based plan (Took just one day only).

hi.. recently i bought Tata Photon Postpaid device they activated my account ans sent me my photon no 9246...... when i tried to call that no its ringing what does this mean can this number be used by any other
hi recently i bought my Tata photon postpaid connection ..after activation they sent me my tata photon number 9246....
when i tried to call that number it is ringing think somebody is using it, will there be any problem please reply ASAP.
You cannot use this photon plus number to make a call till now.
The new photon+ modem EC156 from Huawei doesn't show any Statistics, viz, Usage, Dowload speed, connection time etc. I think they had removed purposely, to keep the customer in dark. The usage details in the online are updated only after 48 to 72 hours and that too not correct. MTS gives a very good option, to check the statistics readily.
salute to whoever r working on tis page !!!!!! got lots of info ty
