    Jio tariff will be different -that is only data bill -for both data and voice calls

    Voice calls too would be converted to data consumption with VoLTE

    Average Industry voice consumption per user is around 400 minutes per month

    This would roughly translate to less than 1GB per YEAR in data which is very less

    That is win-win for Jio and user

    Time to board JIO ship with LYF handsets and to pay only for data -used both for internet and voice :)

     

    You have completely WRONG understanding of what VoLTE is! VoLTE is all about allowing voice calls over LTE network instead falling back to 3G for calls. You seem to be confused with VoIP. ALL the mobile networks today are IP based; which means you make a call on 2G, 3G or VoLTE, they all eventually end up on the same circuit in mobile network. Jio doesn't have any special advantage here. Once the call is connected, operator will have to pay the interconnect charges and other usage fees as prescribed by TRAI.

    VoLTE is a being super hyped in India. Once people start using it, it won't take much time to realize how underdeveloped that tech is. When we buy a smartphone in US, the first thing we do is to turn off VoLTE. Take your iPhone to Genius (Apple service center), they first disable the VoLTE even if the issue has nothing to do with it!

    Its a super bad idea to go with Reliance (GSM or CDMA) and Docomo (GSM or CDMA). Both the operators are running in huge cost cutting mode and have literally lost interest in business.

    Airtel or Vodafone are only marginally costlier than these operators which you will hardly notice in your day to day usage. Plus these offer peace of mind with their superior network quality and coverage.

    All those calling Airtel and Vodafone crap, can you suggest me a better network?

    ^^Sorry. AT&T has the best network. Though networks are subjective depending on the area, AT&T has the best network (including LTE) overall and more importantly its GSM! Aio is the prepaid arm of AT&T I would suggest anyone who is visiting US to pickup either Aio or Straight Talk.

    If you want something cheaper, stick to T Mobile. Network is decent enough.

    Wow !

    Is that at your home or your office ?

    If it's at home, how much does that cost per month ?

    Its home, at office download speed is at 1 mbps. I am on the Hathway Docsis 3.0 network at home. currently on the 40 gb plan with 50 Mbps speeds. Initial cost was Rs 4500 for 3 months, which includes installation cost of 1.1k. Next quarter would moved to 70 Gb download plan at Rs 1500 per month.

    Is it in Bangalore? If Yes, overall how would you rate the service, specially reliability? And mind telling me which area the connection is in..?

    Guys, that 100km coverage is only theoretical estimate!!! In that sense even a normal GSM is said to have 30km transmit range per tower! But whats the reality? Does Airtel have only 2 or 3 towers in mumbai? IIRC, they have around 500towers in mumbai!

    Similarly, due to high subscribers and high rise buildings, don't be surprised if the transmit range of LTE may drop to say 10km in a city like mumbai!

    ^^When such technology is not there in any part of the world what can our indian ops do about it? And i support Blackberry in Indian Govt Vs BB fight.

    Indian govt has the habit of misusing everything that they can. Whats the guarantee that they don't read all the mails of a company and alter the tendering process..? there are many things that those dogs do with such highly confidential information.

    Frankly speaking, i will NEVER EVER use blackberry for any corporate mails if i know that govt is happily reading all those. Everyone is just going to feel insecure.

    Anyways, lets hope that atleast this time sibal's 'SOON' is really soon!

    Actually current 3G tariffs are hopelessly targeted.

    Usually 3G subscribers are the ones who have basic tech knowledge...! So these 50MB..100MB with 21.1mbps will not get m(any) users as people won't fall for such crap offers.

    And most of these customers also has broadband connections in their homes..so they don see the necessity to again spend 1000bucks for a 2 or 3gb data! They will be satisfied with 2gb@Rs.95/month 2G!

    Now there is another segment which wants high speed internet connectivity but cannot afford the existing wired broadband. They will obviously cannot afford even the 3G as these are more costlier than wired broadband.

    Now who the hell are they targeting?! Business users? May be. BUT even they will adjust to the cheaper 2G connection.

    Conclusion: 3G services are going to fail miserably with such stoooopid tariffs. I know operators have spent lot of money for 3g spectrum...but who cares? All that people want is service at cheaper costs.

    How did these operators forget that india is highly price sensitive country?!
