I would Request all RimWebians to Join Hands for making Mass user level Request to Reliance to Start Allowing all Customer to enable Foreign ESN / MEID Based Handsets.
Some Point which Support This move is
As EVDO Services Requires HDR User name and HDR Password it can not Activated in Foreign ESN / MEID Handset the way we were Doing till now.
Other CDMA Handsets like Samsung Instinct, LG Dare, LG Vu, All Blackberry, Palm Centro is Impossible to Activate unless Reliance dont allow us.
Reliance will have less Pressure to Introduce the New Handset as after some time Some Retailer like Sadik can do it Officially.
As MNP is on edge Reliance will have alternative Channel for Customer Support on Handset Front and Retain there Loyal Customer in CDMA.
What Reliance should Expect from Customer who Owns the Handset The Customer must know the SPC of Phone or it should be 000000.
It will not Resposibility of Reliance for Activation Failure.
Reliance will not be Obliged to Activate R-World on it.
If Handset is lost Reliance will not Bar the Phone ESN / MEID as it Already Unknown to their Database.
Reliance may ask for Memo, Bill, Credit Card Statement to get proof of the Ownership of Phone.
If Such Document is not available then Reliance may ask Client to Indemnify Reliance for any Further Legal complication may arise if the Phone is lost, stolen or misused etc.
Reliance may Keep a Separate Database for such Clients for their own Purpose.
What Customer Should Expect from Reliance.
Reliance should Allot Dummy RSN Generated at their End to this New Phone after taking Due Undertaking on a Letter from Client.
If Easier Method like TATA can be worked out. Other then RSN. if should be done.
Reliance should Provide Latest PRL File on their Web site Column maintain for this Purpose only.
A Special Cell should be kept Reliance to maintain Compatibility of Handsets. and This should be also Published on their Site.
Reliance should Help to Activate Voice, SMS and Internet Access using CDMA 1x and Upcoming EVDO when available using OTA (Over the Air Activation) for Handset announced Compatible.
All Warrenty Related Issue are not Handled.
How TATA is doing this. TATA dont use RSN type Funda to Generating Dummy RSN is not Required at all.
Just Reset SPC to 000000.
Load Proper PRL using Approprite Software like QPST, CDMA Workshop or in Windows Based Phone we could Dial ##PST# and load PRL from Memory Card.
Catch TATA Network then and Dial *228 to Switch your Number from Old Handset to new Foreign ESN / MEID Handset using ICC (Insta Change Card)
Then Why Reliance is not Doing it till now.
May be They dont want Headache
There can be so many Reason.
May be Becuase of RSN Issue
What We Expect from All RimWebians.
