Check the news...They are asking 700 to be allotted free of cost. Govt to take up additional equity http://www.deccanchronicle.com/business/companies/130617/bsnl-mtnl-meet-img-bsnl-demands-700-mhz-spectrum.html If BSNL was any serious about 4G they could have done that using 800Mhz instead of surrendering it or use 1800Mhz like what Vodafone/Jio is doing

#1 One of my RCom postpaid no was in the name of my late mother. For obvious reasons her documents or fingerprint was not possible to be provided. Ported to Airtel postpaid in my name by quoting the porting code and giving my adhaar and biometrics without any issue. Did not even tell them that it was not earlier in my name. #2 If porting request was already initiated, no fresh port request can be initiated unless the earlier process has been completed, successfully or by rejection #3 No handset in market supports dual active 4G. Some claim dual standby 4G (i.e. both SIM can support 4G individualy) but work only in active 4G + Active 2G mode. Only few works in Active 4G + Active 3G mode. I found RN3 and RN4 supporting this. Call clarity of second SIM is better if it supports Active 3G. But Jio does not support 3G. So if you switch to 4G in second SIM, Jio will stop completely.

i hope u were writing many article on telecomtalk. yes u can port with ur EKYC with ur aadhar. only upcoming Iphone X and iphone dual sim will support LTE+LTE.

Yes ! You can port to Jio using any aadhaar ID (No issue - verified by porting prepaid connection) AFAIK there is no known issue of blocking port out by Jio. Wait as porting process is taking time these days due to Rcom customers rush. Further - if the Jio SIM is taken by using Aadhaar eKYC then I doubt whether that can be ported out using any other person's name/ aadhaar ID (Not tried yet). May work... AFAIK most handset available in the market support 4G on either sim only - but some new phones are arriving with 4G VoLTE support on both sim simultaneously. Will check & revert...

This decision will further complicate things for prepaid users as they have to have monitor now 1 more pack. Airtel has analysed and found that only in Internet charges they can make money. So they are trying to achieve this by this ridiculous idea. Lets see if their analysis is correct or it boomerangs against it. For customers, the only hope now is Reliance Jio. Jio need not be very cheap. If they are reasonable and not ridiculous like other 3G players, we can see a change. With the kind of investment Jio is doing, surely they need more numbers. So surely for 3 years, I honestly feel that internet tariffs will not go up much as Airtel wants to charge

Firstly can it be done legally? How DOT will allocate 3G spectrum to airtel in those circles if they do that? Secondly even if it can be done, other than getting a pleasure of airtel being punished, it would end up hurting you the consumer as you'll pay much MORE for 3G.

In addition to no roaming charges (which is free incoming while roaming), the policy also talked about numbers which are zone free, which means one would be able to retain the same number even while switching zones! Truly pan India numbers in future. Cant wait for that to happen!

Delhi High Court Lifts Stay Order On Bharti Airtel 3G Roaming Pact Ban Source The court has allowed Airtel to continue its 3G roaming until the next hearing, scheduled for 8 May. New Delhi: A division bench of the Delhi high court has vacated a stay order on the department of telecommunications (DoT) notice to Bharti Airtel Ltd, asking the telco to pay a Rs.350 crore fine and to stop offering 3G services in circles where it did not win spectrum in the 2010 auction. On 15 March, DoT had sent Bharti the notice that asked the company to stop offering 3G services in seven circles and pay the fine in 72 hours. Bharti was able to get a stay on the order from a single bench judge in the court by 18 March. The court also let the telco continue its 3G roaming until the next hearing, scheduled for 8 May. Bharti was able to offer the services through roaming pacts with Vodafone India Ltd and Idea Cellular Ltd who are also expected to receive similar notices. This stay was then contested by Reliance Communications Ltd which has led to the vacations.
