  1. Last week got my Airtel broadband plan upgraded to VFiber. They charged me 500 rupees which will be added to my bill, got a new modem of D Link. My new plan has maximum speed of 40 mbps and minimum of 1 mbps on FUP i.e. 40 GB for a monthly rental of Rupees 799 + GST. Along with this I have got 750 GB data free for one year and unlimited calls in plan. As per the speed , I have noticed on speedtest I normally get 22 mbps which is marginally higher than my earlier speed of 16 mbps. Keeping my fingers crossed for speed. However, I am happy to get new modem, 750 GB free data for one year, increased monthly data (50 GB (40+10), earlier it was 25 GB), minimum of 1 mbps broadband after FUP and unlimited calls with same monthly rental.

    Got 3 Vodafone connections re verified yesterday. Process was smooth. However, OTP took 5-10 minutes to arrive. No paperwork required.

    Got my mom's airtel prepaid re verified. The process of Airtel was very fast. It took few seconds to process the whole request including OTP generation. However, Airtel did not give any receipt like Vodafone did. Although Vodafone is also not giving receipts in all the stores.

    RCom-Aircel merged wireless company to be called Aircom

    NEW DELHI: Reliance Communications' executive Punit Garg on Friday said that the merged wireless company with Aircel will be called Aircom.

    He said that RCom can monetize 49 percent tower co stake in future though sale or a listing process, while further debt reduction options will include sale of direct-to-home business.

    The executive said that the company can also look at strategic transaction in global or Indian enterprise business.

    Reliance Communications on Friday said that it has received time till December 2017 to close its transactions with Aircel and Brookfield and reduce debt from Rs 45000 crore to Rs 20000 crore, aiming at a reduction of 60% or Rs 25000 crore.

    RCom has been engaged in discussions with its lenders in order to finalise a debt resolution plan. The lenders on Friday constituted a Joint Lenders' Forum (JLF) to consider and approve the company's plans in this regard as part of which there will be a standstill on company’s debt servicing for next 7 months.

    RCom had said that the combined RCom-Aircel entity will enjoy substantial benefits of scale, and CAPEX and OPEX synergies with an estimated NPV of Rs. 20,000 crore. As part of this transaction, RCom’s overall debt will reduce by Rs 14,000 crore, together with the transfer of liability for spectrum instalments of an additional approx. Rs. 6,000 crore.

    Re-verification


    Hon’ble Supreme Court stated “an effective process has been evolved to ensure identity verification, as well as, the addresses of all mobile phone subscribers for new subscribers. In the near future, and more particularly, within one year from today, a similar verification will be completed, in case of existing subscribers.”

    Based on above mentioned details of order, the Department of Telecommunication (DoT) has issued instructions to all operators to verify all existing mobile subscribers (Prepaid & Postpaid) through Aadhaar based E-KYC process on or before 06.02.2018.

    Now to comply with the order we are starting campaign to do KYC of all existing subscribers through Aadhaar based EKYC process. We request all subscribers (excluding the subscribers who have opted their mobile connection via E-KYC mode –Aadhaar based activations by providing biometric) to visit their nearest Idea outlets & follow simple steps to complete the mandated E-KYC process.

    For your ready reference simple four steps shall ensure E-KYC compliance.

    Step-1 – Visit to our nearest Idea center and provide your mobile number and Aadhaar number.

    Step-2 – Idea store executive will provide a four digit verification code on your mobile number from re-verification application.

    Step-3 - Subscriber to provide the verification code to Idea store executive & provide his/her biometric.

    Step-4 - After 24hrs you will received a confirmation SMS, reply Y to complete the EKYC process.

    Please note that this entire exercise is free of cost and for your convenience, hence we solicit your co-operation.


  5. It depends on area you are living and work. I have used Airtel, Voda, Idea, rcom, aircel. Vodafone suits me better as it has got better coverage in kalkaji (New Delhi) and my office location. Additionally, Airtel tariff plans are most expensive. Voda and Idea have similar plans. I use corporate plans. Aircel won't have good internet coverage. RGSM I believe is fine for 3G but not for voice and 4G. Their customer service is pathetic and billing issues also there. Tata Indicom can't say how long will it last. It's better you also take reviews from your neighbors.


  6. I think most senior members are saying that a 4G Volte enabled phone is the best option. It should support Bands 3, 5 & 40.

    I did some research & on the budget range I think the Samsung Galaxy On5 is a good option. It supports all the above, is built reasonably well & sells for around 8k:

    http://www.flipkart.com/samsung-galaxy-on5/p/itmedhx3uy3qsfks?pid=MOBECCA5BJUVUGNP&al=K3oDzLPIAsOP5P%2BXd98L0sldugMWZuE7Qdj0IGOOVqtBAKbRQQ%2FoyS39taKTf%2F%2FMHn4EQYwWgFw%3D&ref=L%3A-6432181019323839660&srno=p_2&findingMethod=Search&otracker=start

    Please pool in other good options. By good I mean apart from support the tech it should also be well built, with a good display, decent battery, durable etc.

    My personal experience with Samsung have been awful. I have used their Samsung Grand and Samsung Note 3 Neo. I have seen people using other phones of Samsung. Samsung Mobile phones hang a lot and are last to get OS upgrades. It's better to own K3/K4 note or Moto G 3 than to have Samsung. Samsung's extended warranty is also very expensive.


  7. After much hassle, I got two 4G sims today. They didn't even charge me for the SIM. For the prepaid SIM, I had to recharge it with Rs. 93. Which gave R-R free STD/Local and 150 minutes to others, 1Gb of internet.

    After sending the 4g SIM NO message to 1299, received a reply that will be updated.

    Which store in Delhi you got the sim & what did you tell them about, any docs or any other queries the store people asked?

    I have a question, if anybody could answer. One of my friend has Reliance Wipod in Delhi NCR circle. It is a wifi dongle. All of sudden it stopped working. When called the customer care, they said that some document is missing but they didn't knew that which document is missing. The connection is already one year old. I am puzzled why it stopped working. Is it related to 4G network upgrade. At the same time I have been following this topic and have never seen Delhi NCR being mentioned in RCOM plan to upgrade at the moment. Please guide what to do. Also advice which wifi dongle could work well if it has to be used in Delhi NCR, lucknow and sparingly in Kolkata.


  8. From past 2 months RCDMA 1x network at my place (Noida) - 56% no signal

    from past week RCDMA 1x network at my place (Noida) - 99% no signal

    Looks like tower has been shut or upgraded to LTE. Whatever it is, the handling of this by RCDMA is pathetic. They should have informed the customers about actual dates and situation. As usual they don't care. RIP RCDMA. Bye bye Reliance. No more Reliance (even Jio)

    I guess Idea must be good in Noida.


  9. Let us hope, it's just 2016 December only and not 2017 or 2018...

    I seriously doubt on their intention to launch. Airtel has launched in 15 circles using same 2300 mhz spectrum. Infact reliance jio was the first company to start testing and adopt LTE. There were two options available wimax and LTE. Reliance jio opted for LTE. Started testing also. I think they would sell to an international telecom company like AT&T, America Movil or MTN.

    Reliance chairman says the launch will happen in the second half of 2016;

    Again a date change ...

    Not sure what is taking them so long. Should have launched in phased manner

    I think they won't launch before Dec 2016, Dhirubhai's birthday. I wonder haven't they breached the DoT rollout guidelines.

    Like always said:

    Reliance Jio launch may be pushed to December

  11. Hi All,

    I am very active CDMA user and all my voice number for the last 10 yrs are CDMA. Starting with the 500rs reliance phone i have used most of them and have tried TATA, MTS and BSNL also.

    However as the years roll on, the service of CDMA operators in INDIA has never improved. The quality of service that i used to get on 2004 is not there today.

    I started using a Vodafone number for voice back also. But speaking on a GSM network after you are so used to CDMA service is hell . I cant understand how people talk that long on a pathetic voice network, which will make you guess what the other party is saying most times.

    But day has come where RCDMA is also like that. I currently reside in bangalore and network seems to be pathetic day by day and quality of service is also going down ?

    I need an advice from the forum ?

    I am planning to buy this Honor Holly 2 plus , CDMA cum GSM device and stick to CDMA for Voice and GSM for data .

    1. Does CDMA have any future in India ? Are you blindly believing reliance will improve when they have even forgetten they have a CDMA network to maintain too ?

    2. Hrd MTS RCDMA has become a single company now. MTS is good in data services and their coverage is pretty decent in the city ? .. After this merge does MTS towers server RCDMA customers automatically ?

    3. Does Honor Holly 2 plus support Rev B , any idea on that ? ...

    4. I never had problem of battery with cdma as i have always used Droid bigger battery phones. They have given me 5 to 7 hrs screen on time, but they all are single SIM . Is having a dual sim reduce the battery throughput ?

    5. Should i just forget that RCDMA is done and move on by porting to a GSM network ? . I tried doing the same with Blackberry , and i still have all blackberry 10 devices other than passport with me :P ...

    Please advice ?

    My usage , Voice of over 600 to 1000 minutes per month , Data 1- 2 GB per month.

    By using RCDMA the max bills i get for this including roaming is only 500.

    It seems rcom is more interested to use its 800 mhz spectrum for 4G. I will not be surprised if they shift their customers who purely use only voice and not data to their GSM network by giving discounts on GSM handsets if you buy from their stores. Meanwhile, VoLTE is also going to evolve in future. I have read in articles on websites and i guess on this forum as well that it will be HD quality voice calling. While you buy a new handset please check if it has 4G and VoLTE as 4G is now same as 3G prices. My advice would be wait a couple of months. Let Jio launch its services, it could be a good idea as they will be providing VoLTE services as well. Although, Airtel, Idea and Vodafone are also looking to deploy VoLTE. I do agree CDMA was always a better technology than GSM but our governments never provided any roadmap for it and neither handset vendors like LG, Samsung , Nokia were never interested in them as they had to pay royalty to Qualcomm for handsets. Qualcomm charged the highest royalty in India.


  12. same problem here in kalyan area too.

    Network shows but no incoming and outgoing works.

    Same issue happened with me couple of months back for at least 3-4 weeks every sunday.If anybody called me he use to get the message that network is out of coverage area, while I had full network bars. It seems rcom might be upgrading their network maybe for 4G or something. Some operators like Vodafone and Airtel are deploying CISCO solution for reducing call drop issue.
