Yes, Maharashtra is local with mumbai. And for some operators (like MTS) even Goa is charged local when called from mumbai. So, Mumbai, Maharashtra and Goa are considered one circle.

There are multiple ways though. If you want to quickly add a '0', use '(apostrophe) as mentioned earlier.

1. The seven letter word is 'NOTHING' 2. 6 days.... is it?

So much has came and even more to come by. By the time we wait for a new handset, a new BEAST so to say, lets share what could be a dream handset for you. -What features you want to be enhanced? -What functions you want included? -Or want something not ever imagined on a phone? -Even some annoyance that you want to be dropped altogether from the phone? Here's mine wish (a crude idea) I dream of a phone that's a true companion. More Artificial Intelligence. It recognize mood and atmosphere, ambience and sound, pulse and heartbeat, every kind of sensor. Fully customizable command set. A phone in which all events can be programmed and it can be thought what to do when. So that it can be truly personalized with improved voice recognition. It must be able to listen and carry out the commands. All in all i dream of a robot like phone.

Thanks for your effort to provide this One stop shop for android basic. +1

^^^ may not work as the rope may burn unevenly then. Dipan is sureshot. One more now. (Logic based) There are 2 villages. 1st Satyapur: Each person of the village speak only the truth 2nd Asatyapur: Each person of the village always lies. You are driving on the way. You reach the centre of this Y-shaped road. There are no signboards but it is known that one road will lead to Satyapur and another to asatyapur. There is one man sitting at the crossing. It is not known from which village out of the two is he from. In just 1 question to the man you need to find out the way to Satyapur. What will you ask?

Simply great. finding deal is one thing. Creating deal out of thin air by application of lateral thinking great... +1

So much has happened and still the government is not making a single strong statement against corruption. Taking action is distant. This shows a govt for the corrupt and by the corrupt. It is not at all serious on the issue of getting back black money. source And this government is super quick in revising fuel prices and ending subsidies on LPG, CNG and diesel. While theres no need to end subsidy if they have a roadmap to get back the money.

A puzzle: May be some member might be aware of this one. Still since I was not able to come up with a solution even after pondering on it for a week (whenever I was free), I thought it appropriate to post it here. (I finally gave up and headed to the solution page. ) The Puzzle goes like this-- There is a rope 1 meter long. If you set fire at one end of the rope it burns completely in 60 minutes. So you have the rope and a match-box. Using this you want to measure 30 minutes and you don't have a watch. The twist is that the rope is pretty uneven. At some place it is fat and at others it is thin. So that it doesn't burn out evenly. Its like half of the rope burns in first 10 minutes but the other half takes up 50 minutes to burn. So how will you measure 30 minutes?

...and if u still can't find, tell and I will upload on some file sharing and give u link.

Congrats!!!! Truly deserving. It was fascinating reading your travelogue. I missed on the earlier one on Rajasthan. But not this time. Have completed some 40% reading and already feeling myself at the locations... great live writing. BTW, where 2 vote? haven't found link.

Nice efforts. Such success stories will surely help and motivate others who are victim of this open loot to fight back in a systematic manner. Also thanks to Rajan for opening the doors to PGP. On a sidenote, @OP - either update the topic title to make it descriptive which will be easy to find for other members when searching for 'VAS', 'PGP' etc.. and take benefit. or move it to this topic.

MTS is also having such offer on HTC Pulse. Further, there are multiple option to avail the offer wherein one can choose monthly rent and pay part upfront. Avail EMI facility in which the monthly rent for plan starts from 13th month. Very good for people with monthly bill in range of 1000-1500 and higher.

Does this work.. i mean setting black background saves battery. where can i get more technical info on this setting?

Interesting.... I was under impression that Google might have stopped using windows long back. Although, company-wide change of technology takes efforts and windows has solid footprints.

Your hard efforts have won you great offer. Its good to see a win over these Tel-cos. It also shows how customer care is all same clueless on every network, irrespective of name.

The article is well..... good. I had gone through the Jan Lokpal draft. It is indeed strong and impractical in some conditions. But, I firmly believe that the course of action and flow of event in this matter is actually perfect. Jan Lokpal bill is a proposed draft. It was never meant to be passed and implemented then and there on the floor of Jantar Mantar. The bill will be passed by the parliament and it is clear that government will make sure that such strong bill is never passed. Equally what we need to make sure is that the loose and loop-holed draft proposed by govt. should also not pass through. Jan Lokpal is bargain draft. Its like bargaining for that pair of shoes on FS. I like the shoes, he will ask 750.00. I determine they are worth 325-350. But i will ask for 250 and thus finally get them for a balanced bargained price. I read somewhere “The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for.” By proposing a strong bill, it is ensured that even after dilution of 25-40% in the provision of the draft, the bill will do better than the govt draft.

I believe it is Amar Singh. He should win this poll by easy margin. He is a kind of fixer. As for Mr. Shanti Bhushan, it may be possible that he is under shadow. But the timing of all this says much. Right now it is important not to dilute the efforts for a Strong Lokpal bill which a section of people is hell bent on doing. Fist Anna Hazare, now Bhushans, 2morrow they will come up with something against A. Kejriwal. How much should we believe?? The whole object for this exercise of Lokpal is to get everyone under the purview of the same law. If Mr. Shanti Bhushan is guilty, he must get what law speaks BUT not before Amar singh is booked as Rajan has aptly compared their deeds.

Good Initiative. Somewhere down the line, some wheels are moving in right directions inspite of too much muddle in many other sectors. Finalizing big project within 2 years sounds exciting. Will old cards be replaced or only new cards be issued with Rupay.

Companies are moving on... They see Moolah in mobile platform.

@ csmart U must also consider securing admission for your child asap. Its mid-Feb, and the way the admission process works, it might be difficult to get forms from others. Have u considered New-era, HVB already?

Good work... + 1 It means the service will not be available for at most 2.5 hours. But how exactly the customer will finally know that the porting process has been successfully completed. Should the customer check with new SIM/RUIM after the stipulated time or is there any alternative way the customer will be informed.

Retention plans -- offers -- freebies -- addons -- pizzas (innovative) -- xyz I think most of us had a hint of this in our minds but weren't sure enough that these will be coming straight away. Moreover as many operators had clouded the facts of MNP implementation (which, thanks to RIMweb -rajanmehta special effort- were shot on their face) it was as if they were trying to avoid MNP rather than face and Counter its effect. Now since the stable is open lets see how they stop the horses from running. As suggested by phonegeek, need to start a new thread for retention offers which may run parallel to the 'I have ported My Number to...' topic.

BSNL has not made any changes in its Static IP offering. Static IP is available only on Rs. 3300+ BB plans. Is there a possibility of getting Static IP on any plan on paying some annual fees just as MTNL offers it for rs. 1500 per year.
