Micromax Funbook now available with free Tata Photon 3G dongle for Rs. 6,499

by Gogi Rana on April 9, 2012 · 619 comments

You can now buy the Micromax Funbook from Snapdeal.com and Ncarry.com for Rs. 6,499 with free Tata Photon 3G dongle with 2 months free usage (limited to 1 GB). There was a lot of confusion regarding the free Tata 3G dongle.

The Micromax website mentioned it came bundled with Tata photon whereas when I called the Ncarry.com support (when the tab was first launched) they were as confused as I was and told it came without the photon option.

Now even Ncarry.com has updated their buy now page which now mentions that Tata Photon + 3G Dongle comes bundled. I think it is the Tata Photon plus that will be bundled as seen on the Ncarry site.

Now this changes the equation completely. As of now the Micromax Funbook becomes the cheapest among Xtab A10, VeeDee D10, VeeDee D10e and Karbonn Smart Tab 1. Though I have not yet checked the funbook tab yet, I think it belongs to the same MID series and processing power and features are as good as the Xtab and D10, D10e.

What’s more this tab comes with a 3G Tata Photon dongle which will definitely work with the tab. This also means the device is internet ready right out of the box. No more fiddling with existing USB dongles that may or may not work with the tab. And since this comes for free you will not mind having another 3G dongle. Do note that you may need to subscribe to Tata photon plans to continue using the 3G connectivity.

More details on Micromax Funbook here. To buy it online visit Ncarry.com or Snapdeal.com both offering it for Rs. 6,499 for 4GB version.

Hi Gogi

I recently bought Funbook PRo 10.1 model. When I connect it to power supply , the tablet switches on. It immediately says charged.

But once I disconnect the power supply, the screen switches of completely. Does any one face similar problem..? Please help.

Also, please let me know where are the service centers in Chennai.

Ubarpsi, its a defective battery. If its been less than a week you got the tab you will immediately get a replacement.

Vishal, charge the battery for a longer time even when its fully charged. Then see if the same happens. Could be a defective battery you will need to get it to the micromax service center.

@Simple Singh: You will not get Tata Photon dongle in the packet of micromax funbook. Instead you will get a Tata Photon Plus card which you have to take it to the Tata Docomo outlet. There you have to show this card and you will get Tata Photon dongle but you have to pay Rs. 500 to get this dongle.

Friends,

The funbook will not support new airtel 3g dongles with imei starting from 86**(Model E173Cs-1). But it will support old airtel 3g dongles with imei 35**(Model E173Bu-1) – locked with airtel. Both are Huawei make 1731.
