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!

Finally the day has arrived! Lets see if they will launch today!

^^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.

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..?

Its just that Reliance Jio is hosting a Speedtest server. Nothing else! Anyone anywhere in the world can select this server to check their internet speeds.

^^Come on dude! Stop b!tching about everything! If you don't want to make calls using your landline, then don't take this plan! No body is forcing you.

I don't think any operator charges additional money for (2G/3G) data roaming....though the CCare may say that roaming charges are applicable! I have used my Vodafone 3G (Bangalore) prepaid connection in AP and TN and the data pack that i had activated in Bangalore was valid in other states aswell and no additional charges were levied.

EXCELLENT Plans! Operators should merge the 2G and 3G and should have unified data plans, to make it easier for the customers.

What about the circles in which Reliance doesn't have 3G spectrum?

Idea has launched 3G in Karnataka(Bangalore) using Airtel Network. Now what will Vodafone do? They don't have 3G spectrum here and i don't think both idea and Vodafone can run on Airtel network.. Looks like mostly there will not be 3G services from Vodafone in Bangalore

What the hell is L1??

LOL@them. Only Anil Ambani will use their Video call service...to call his brother No one is going to use this crap service at crap rates...

Even i got free Pizza offer....but surprisingly thats for Airtel Landline!!!!

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!
