sgiitk 32 Report post Posted December 22, 2009 Saw the advt in the TOI about a Samsung Handset for both Reliance & Tata. It mentione something like an OMH SIM card being used. What is this card? How does it differ from the RUIM card? Is it specific to Samsung? What is its availability and pricing? Does it indicate a trend that CDMA will become as open as GSM?

abkumar 11 Report post Posted December 22, 2009 (edited) OMH SIM card is the new RUIM card for CDMA OMH (Open Market Handsets) such as the new Samsung OMH Mpower 699 handset which will store all the data & voice settings for network on the SIM card itself not the phone as previously in CDMA This will help consumers to change operators just like GSM consumers Edited December 22, 2009 by techlive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Himanshu Singh 19 Report post Posted December 22, 2009 Thats good news. Another limitation of CDMA being done away with. I remember all the troubles I had to take to save all my numbers to new CDMA sim on the same phone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moneyboy0 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2009 just bought dis handset in delhi.. you need to upgrade your old simcard ( RUIM) which costs arnd Rs 100. All functions work including data after the upgrade. Reliance does not have OMH simcard and the reliance ppl dont have any idea abt OMH. They don,t even kno abt the handset. I bought it and took to a reliance store and they were arguing that this is a GSM handset and Not a CDMA handset!! Idiots!! but just ask for a new simcard and voila!! it works like a charm!!!

Cheers why u din't shown them that this is having ESN/pESN. I have one doubt that ur old sim din't work with handset, but newer one is working for voice+data service??? i think u have purchased F699?

sgiitk 32 Report post Posted December 30, 2009 (edited) @moneyboy - Do I surmise that all newer RUIMS are OMH or there is still a catch! If so one need to simple cange the RUIM 5o a new one and is in business for any Open Market Handset. Edited December 30, 2009 by sgiitk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
