Well, Reliance stole it! As per customer care, if you are prepaid user, you won't get anything! So, you are expected to raise this as an issue with the nodal officer. There are many here who have got this treatment from Reliance.

I think the device is fine for 3499₹. Hotspot works fine. I got 21 Mbps on terrace just once. In my balcony I get 0.8 Mbps and inside is around 0.6 Mbps. Need to test elsewhere in the city. Cannot compare with other phones since I have no other options.

Went to Digital Xpress Mini store at 12:45 and came out a 4 PM with activated connection. At home signal is poor, but YouTube streaming still works fine. Flame 2 does not seem bad as a device. I cannot make outgoing calls. Not sure why.

I had done 1₹ recharge before migration. Also I had added ₹30 to core balance. Today, after many days thought of checking if there is data speed improvement. Guess what: my balance is zero. So, I have not got the post migration benefit for calling and for data.

Anyone from Pune using Jio? I am thinking of trying Jio - not sure about indoor coverage in my house. With the reduced rates, I might just take a chance to use as a backup internet connection. Which documents are needed? I know one Reliance Digital store in Phoenix mall, where I could get this I suppose.

I had done Re. 1 recharge and also done a topup of Rs. 30 before the migration. Now, my core balance is 0 and only incoming is allowed. So, the free offer as such has not been given to me. Anyone else has this situation?

Well, not sure if there is some compatibility issue with the sim. Have you tried the 'patch'?

Is data working if you put this SIM in another handset? If not, get the SIM 'patched' at the store.

Thanks for the plans information. Now, where is the network?

Viman Nagar store does not have a person to apply the patch. They rely on some 'engineer' who comes there for few hours if required. That is what the shop owner told new two days ago. But why are you guys worried so much about 2G data?. The speed is extremely slow in Pune. Let us wait for another 15 days for 4G (as per Viman Nagar store owner).

The update is just to fix data issue on some sims. Unless 4G network is turned on, we cannot latch on to it.

My data started working. 04/16 SIM - no firmware upgrade done.

My GSM SIM got activated today. I made two test calls to that number - when I dial from my Idea phone, I can here some beeps along with the ringing. Once the call is established, this beep disappears. I live in an area where indoor coverage is bad for all service providers and RCOM GSM is no different. The voice quality was good once the phone was moved to the balcony, where all the signals come quite nicely. Indoors, the voice breaks so badly that you cannot have a conversation at all. So, this is not better nor worse than Vodafone for me. Now, I am waiting for the 850 Mhz LTE network. Store fellow tells me that it will be launched on 15 June. Speculation?

I registered for upgrade on 31.05 in the afternoon. I was able to latch on to the GSM network around 6 PM on the next day. Now, it is close to 48 hours, but GSM is not activated yet.

And now, I can finally latch on to Reliance network. It is a 2G network with -95 dBm strength in office - which is quite low compared to Idea/ Vodafone etc. Data connects and disconnects immediately. Reliance portal still shows my number is Idle Customer Number Status: Idle How do I check for balance? Edit: Cannot make or receive calls/ messages though there is network. So, perhaps I need to wait longer.

Well, so will my 4G SIM card work or not? I have sent SMS to 1299 and also used the online system to register for an upgrade on 31 May.

Now in the portal I have a new status. Customer Number Status: Idle Details Description Expiry Date Main Balance 0.00(Rs.) 01-01-0001

If you are asking me then I think I need this magic 'patch'. I am still without network (GSM) and my CDMA number is marked inactive in Reliance Portal. So, I am in no-man's-land.

I am interested to know more about this 'patch'. Can we not do this at home? Is there some app which could allow us to make changes - provided we know what those changes are?

Just came back from Viman Nagar store after spending almost an hour there. Lot of agitated customers there. I realized that the aged people have a unique challenge - they do not know how to transfer the phone numbers from CDMA handset to their new handset. One lady came in screaming after visiting three shops where they refused to help her out. I was able to transfer her 140+ contacts via Bluetooth. Please try to help your neighbors and parents who are not as informed as we are on the forum. Coming back to my case, only once the SIM Toolkit showed me options for National and International Roaming. National Roaming was selected (There was a message: It was already ON) Rebooted - still unable to latch on the network. Then the store owner took the SIM and put it to a SIM reader connected to his computer and gave back in 5 seconds. Tried the process again - still no luck Then the store owner's son played around the SIM toolkit - the options no longer came. He tried putting the SIM in his Mi phone and the options came there, but the network did not come even after rebooting. I was told that perphaps it is due to my CDMA number being active at the moment. Well that was a possibility, I thought. So, I left the store. Now, I reached office and checked the online portal Customer Number Status : Not Active So, turns out CDMA number is out of service. So the only hope now is some 'software upgrade' of SIM. There is some Reliance person who was expected to come at 12 PM, but he did not turn up until 12:15. So, I would have to try and catch him some other day.

Am I the only one whose 4G sim is still not able to latch on the network? Location: Pune. Sim is from April 2016 and inside the Sim toolkit app, I just see the word 'Roaming'. Wondering if that is relevant to the problem.

Reliance Communication does not have 4G network. So, lot depends on their agreement with Jio.

CDMA network, calls and SMS still working on Samsung Guru handset - does not matter which CDMA SIM card I put in. Location: Kharadi, Pune.

I am at EON too. CDMA network is full. Calls and SMS are also working absolutely fine So, I borrowed a colleague's Samsung Guru and inserted by CDMA SIM. There was full network, whereas on other phones there was not network since last week. I am not sure how/ why that would happen. Seems something special is there on the Samsung phone. Anyway, so, I sent the SMS for upgrade to 1299 and got a message back saying I need to first "recharge with 4G upgrade recharge to initiate the process". So, I did a recharge via Mobikwik for Re. 1 and I immediately got another SMS "Congratulations LTEMIG1 has been successfully activated on your phone" The CDMA network is still full and I can still make calls from that Samsung handset. I am wondering if I will get another SMS which will prompt me to switch on my second handset which has got the 4G SIM inside.

I got pretty excited to read about this option. Alas! It is from Reliance. Same error received.
