Will also boost second hand phone market

Rollout across Reliance WebWorlds and 40,000-strong channel chain

DAKC (Dhirubhai Ambani Knowledge City), Navi Mumbai, November 24, 2004

For the first time in the CDMA space anywhere in the world, Reliance Infocomm has indigenously developed a revolutionary product, named Get Started Kit (GSK), to empower its subscribers with the flexibility to choose from its wide range of handsets, as well as the choice to select mobile phone numbers of one's choice.

India's largest mobile services provider with over nine-million subscribers, Reliance Infocomm today rolled out the GSK, which will be available at Reliance WebWorlds and the 40,000-strong channel partners across the country.

With the new GSK, available for both prepaid and post-paid subscribers in separate packs, one can purchase any Reliance-approved handsets from the open market and get them activated, that too with numbers of their choice. Hitherto, Reliance Infocomm, or for that matter any other CDMA operator, has been providing handsets with pre-activated numbers.

Announcing the global first by Reliance Infocomm, S P Shukla, President for Wireless Products and Services said: "The GSK, which has been indigenously developed at Dhirubhai Ambani Knowledge City in conjunction with various global handset suppliers, offers a great convenience to customers. They can now enjoy the flexibility of buying any Reliance-ready handset in the open market."

He explained that Reliance GSK would also result in giving a big boost to the second hand phone market. "A huge stock of used handsets is now available in the market as many RIM subscribers have of late begun to upgrade their handsets, exchanging their black and white handsets for Reliance's new range of colour ones," he said.

The GSK consists of a pre-allocated ten-digit RIM number and a nine-digit unique PIN to help activate a handset. The new product is ideally suited for those who would like to have a number of their choice, those who would like to have local numbers when they move to new cities or towns and those who would like to either sell or gift their old handsets and buy new ones.
