Sir, In my view...RJIO is taking a software like approach to this network rollout...we are currently in BETA phase akin to software. Please consider the following - How big out country is - How expensive is to have field engineers conducting drive tests/speed tests throughout the country - How difficult is to hire/engage people to do these tests and let them go after this is done..and this is a short term exercise. These people wont be needed after network has been established. In software, beta releases are known to bring out glitches, in field conditions which are difficult to find in controlled conditions in companies...or the testing team is simple too small. RJIO has smartly clubbed beta testing with LYF handsets....so they are making some money by invite based system. The phones under LYF brand are inferior compared to their open market counterparts. For eg :A 11k LYF handset is running the cheapest 200 series snapdragon processor. Reliance communication customers are paying customers...they are not getting free data in any case. Sure...they get some benefits for moving to LTE, but that is way less than the cost of getting a LTE smartphone and dumping their CMDA handset. High speed data is like a drug...once you are hooked...you always want more. Even after 6 months, when RJIO suspends free data, where would the customers go? Would any operator ever give free data? In all....i think it is a fair trade...but i do respect your POV, which is quite true in indian context....

Even if cdma gets closed no one will lose there nos U can visit webworld and get porting code or upgrade to 4g sim So don't be afraid of loosing no Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Meanwhile..I'm getting 4 bars on EVDO Rev B on my dongle..and I'm able to download 10-20 gigs with 3-5 Mbps speeds in Karnataka.

Reliance cdma Evdo service in Delhi circle closed now. No time limit when cdma 4g sim will be activated. Reliance customer care giving date to be 30-31 may. Reliance store are saying 8 jun Network are getting weaker day by day What a pathetic way to upgrade.

Mumbai circle got 2 numbers activated network name shows reliance 4g but is in 3g no reliance 4g signal Tried Registering on reliance jio did not register Data is not working Cannot check data account Had to swap sim to a different phone then got the signal. Call works it seems my 44Rs plan is still working Will update further ..... developing

Here is a picture.

Got both sim activated One is working fine other only outgoing is working 3g mode only cannot check data balance, the one which is working shows my main and promo balance Had to switch devices wasn't getting activated Try removing the battery should do the trick. Mumbai circle..... will update

My sprint note 4 shows 1x only since morning Ho sakta hai aaj ki raat kayamat ki rat ho reliance cdma ke liye 😡

Dear @NanduNaada you didn't get my point.. What I am trying to say is RJio is losing all its advantages one by one, either mostly by delaying or by giving away data for FREE CONTINUOUSLY.. See, now even you are thinking that they will give UL data without FUP in RJio 4G. People will believe that way only, if they continue to offer UL data for FREE for long time.. The disadvantage here is that, even if they bring cheaper data during launch like say Rs125 per GB for 30 days, we may feel its a disappointing launch.. Freebies spoils everyone and since I am from TN, I know that very well... Yes, Airtel is good in service, but bad in pricing.. Airtel will give somewhat better plans (NOT cheaper) only if you are big customer.. Wrt wireline BB, its still worse with stupid 512kbps post FUP speeds even in 24Mbps plans for Rs6000+. There is a reason they are number 1, even if people (incl me) hate them for pricing -- Quality of services. There is a reason, people HATE them to the core, even they offer best of the services currently -- STEEP PRICING.. This will change with arrival of good competitor and so the hope on RJio.. But what is worrying me, is their strategies and the advantages they keep on loosing.. Airtel people told me that, "WE can reduce the data prices NOW to increase data usage (plus revenue) as most of our 4G network is under-utilized. BUT we are waiting for RJio. As they are starting from zero customers, they HAVE to reduce data price (almost half of market price) during launch. If we reduce data price to say Rs150 per GB, it will NEVER affect our business, but RJio will then (be forced to) launch at still cheaper price like Rs75 per GB. So we are stubbornly maintaining Rs249 to Rs299 per GB, so that RJio will launch at Rs100 to Rs125 / GB and we will reduce our price to Rs125 to Rs150 at that time." Remember the days when all 3G operators started 3G at Rs500 per GB and 3G networks were under-utilized. Then aircel reduced the price to Rs199 per GB and AVoId group reduced the price to Rs249 per GB. So Airtel is clear in their strategy, but RJio is NOT looking so, at least for me.. Please DO NOT expect NO FUP UL plans from RJio or RCom in 4G. Please remember that, RCom is saying that CDMA customers with UL plan, will get 5GB 4G data only when upgrade completes.. UL internet with NO FUP is only possible with OFC / FTTH based BB from RJio, which I am expecting eagerly.. Better use WiFi tethering option on LYF phone than taking risk of losing UL data for using in other mobile...

Reliance is in a financial mess. I won't be surprised if RCOM sells all it's assets and closes down completely. http://m.thehindu.com/business/Industry/the-biggestever-fire-sale-of-indian-corporate-assets-has-begun-to-tide-over-bad-loans-crisis/article8573163.ece
