One of a friend of my friend got this phone..I requested her to check with my reliance sim card..and it is working super with rev.b...signal shows EV and 1x like htc phone..the most amazing thing is, it support cdma in both sim. since it is not written which sim slot support cdma, so I checked with both sim slot and both are working with evdo..Means this phone may support cdma+cdma also. I have only one sim card, so unable to check but both sim support cdma..you can use cdma in one slot and 2g/3g/4g with 2nd slot..this is the most amazing feature of this phone..it is the first phone which support cdma/2g/4g+cdma/2g/3g/4g...

Reliance Jio will be using Small Cell Tower technology for enhancing coverage:

According to Zauba, an import data tracker website, nearly 5 lakh sim cards have been imported by Reliance Jio in the last month, which confirms the impending launch of the 4G services in the country. The sim cards have been imported from China to Delhi and carry a per unit price of Rs 19. Majority of the units were imported in October itself, which proves that Reliance might have been conducting some tests before the actual launch. Source: http://trak.in/tags/business/2015/11/28/reliance-4g-services-launch/ Since it says "GSM SIM CARD", will it be RCom's GSM network for fall back?

So finally a great affordable phone with outstanding battery life for CDMA lovers in India... Even I was tempted to go for this phone, but the super fast charger (which Gionee M5 lacks) in my current phone (Lenovo Vibe P1 with 5000mAh battery) spoiled me.. I usually charge it during lunch break and use the phone for 2 days without looking for charger..
