hmmm, looks like Invision has set a restriction there, maybe in an effort to prevent URL injection.

I believe there is one Nokia handset which has EDGE support and costs around 5k, forgot the model #. Go for it since Reliance GSM has full EDGE support.

hey, i've added a few more wacko emoticons to jazz up your posts

Thats dissapointing. Normally sellers do not disclose the reason for such issues. Consumer court would be a pain in the *** to deal with (if you had read this post), but it seems to be the only option remaining now.

I've done most online purchases at futurebazaar.com (new look now) as their customer care is resoponsive and ebay.in since the seller reputation is a good system to depend upon and I often get discount vouchers from eBay.

What reason did they mention for the account suspension?

More emoticons added now!

I did not mean anything but to go through that topic to find out the code for your area as reported by other members.

That would have been fantastic, eh? The Rs.10 talk time is per day, it cannot be carry forwarded.

That is because the network/infrastructure isn't ready here yet.

ugh!!!

Reliance GSM plans were being discussed here: http://www.rimweb.in/forums/index.php?showtopic=17201

Actually I am not a big fan of having a single topic for all discussion. It is always better to have separate topics for different issues so that a member don't have to go through all the pages in a topic as ACS mentioned. If a new member repeats an already asked question in a new topic, he/she should be given the link to the proper topic and that topic should be closed. Mess cleaned up, please use the "report" button if you see a mess.

So its launched/launching in Tamil Nadu as well?

Is it INA or IND 20? Well, IND 20 is for Reliance GSM - Tamil Nadu... it must be leaking into Trivandrum from the border

Saurav has already reported that its available in Punjab, see Post #7

Is it 80 or 809? I see IND 809 listed when I search on my Nokia N82 in Trivandrum (in addition to IND 11 of Reliance).

So I would assume they expect to be ready for a full fledged launch within 90 days (3 months). This "beta launch" is definitely a good initiative.

I've seen a topic where the member was getting very good speed with Idea GPRS with EDGE. If EDGE service is available in your area, I would suggest you to go for it.

Finance Ministry recommends double the minimum price for 3G spectrum Further delay expected? 1 Jan 2009, 20:26 hrs IST Economic Times The Finance Ministry has asked the Communications Ministry to double the minimum price for 3G spectrum bids to Rs 4,040 crore for a pan-India licence and for broadband wireless access (BWA) technologies such as WiMAX to Rs 2,020 crore, possibly delaying the auctions still further. The fresh demands by the Financial Ministry may further delay the auction of for 3G spectrum, vital for next-generation telecom services such as video-calling and broadband internet on mobile phones. The auctions were earlier scheduled to be held on January 16, but was postponed to 30th of the same month as the Cabinet clearance on some of the key proposals regarding the auctions. ET has learnt that Economic Affairs Wing of the fin min has now asked the Department of Telecom (DoT) to double the reserve price for the 3G and WiMAX radio frequencies and then submit it for Cabinet approval. As per existing regulation, if the government were to make any changes to the policy, it would have to be sent back to sector regulator Trai. The regulator in turn has 15 days time to respond. If the government decides to follow protocol, the 3G auctions cannot take place on January 30 as scheduled. The industry also fears that if the auctions were to be delayed beyond February 09, it may happen during the UPA regime as the code of conduct for the general elections are likely to kick in from March 2009. The communications ministry plans to allow a maximum of five players per circle for 3G services, while for WiMAX, it has proposed that the auctions be restricted to only four operators in a zone. As per the fin min proposal, the government will rake in a minimum of Rs 28,280 crore from the 3G and WiMAX auctions. Industry executives said that the primary reason behind the fin min demand was the poor response to the recent 3G pre-bid conference by new firms, including foreign players. While DoT has allowed foreign operators to participate in the 3G auctions, most international players have indicated that they are likely to give it a miss. Global operators have also pointed out that the auction guidelines have been structured to favor only existing Indian operators and have sought several changes to the country's 3G policy. If foreign players who were expected to bid aggressively in the 3G and WiMAX auctions were to stay away, the government would fall short of its target of getting Rs 40,000 crore by a long margin. But, with the minimum price being doubled, the auctions may fetch the targeted revenues. If the fin min's demands are accepted, this would mark the second instance of the government doubling base price for 3G and WiMAX radio frequencies. Telecom regulator Trai had initially recommended that the base price for 3G spectrums (pan-India) be fixed at about Rs 1,100 crore and that for BWA technologies be about Rs 500 crore. But, the communications ministry, in its 3G policy announced in August 2008 had doubled the reserve price to Rs 2,020 core for 3G and Rs 1,010 crore for WiMAX spectrum. Executives with two leading telcos confirmed that the industry was aware of the fin min's latest demand. Another executive from a telecoms industry association said the union Cabinet was likely to discuss the fin min proposal on Friday, but this could not be independently verified by ET. Contradicting this, an official in the communications ministry said that Cabinet would take up this issue on January 8 as telecom minister A Raja would not be able to attend Friday's meet. They are pissing off the potential bidders right when the companies themselves are in a tight spot during the economic turmoil.

Is it ADSL or Cable modem? Is it a dedicated line?

I guess he got mixed up with kb and kB. However with no network congestion at a pre-launch period, it may not be the right time to benchmark the service.
