As I mentioned earlier, it for my bhabhi so I won't in position to give any review. It is used by her and she is happy after couple of day use. I found it to be little big in hand and also display little dull compare to Samsung. May be settings issue but then I am not using it so cannot say anything.

Got Asus Zenfone 5, 8GB, white for my bhabhi from Flipkart for Rs 9999/-. specs here I was thinking of moto g. But I found this MVF compare to Moto G as zenfone has support for microsd and bigger screen. Only problem is it still runs on Jelly bean, though upgrade will be available in future. The phone feels big in hand.

It is costly affair and not that easy. You also need lot of manpower for development and maintenance. I would do it only if it makes part of my core business and finance is not a problem. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12511070/build-an-own-sms-gateway

There are many cos providing such facilities. They charge about a paise per SMS or even low.. The message can be sent from the application through web.. The pricing depends on volume. Even Way2SMS is also providing these facilities. There are many companies. Google for bulk SMS I have used cellent.com for a trial and basically satisfied my need. But it was long 7 years ago. emails that I had.. I've never used any of these, so I don't know anything about them. Also not sure if they are still functional..

^^^ App is such that it needs to excess those details. It cannot track your usage without accessing these details.

^^^ yes they reduced the browsing limit to 1GB... even I got 1GB on recharge.. When you do online recharge, it clearly mentions 1GB..

^^^ I doubt your version of cable. Agree that different chargers have different Amps but there is no current limiting mechanism in cables now a days. Current carrying capacity is directly related to the thickness of the cable. But this does not mean that it will limit the passing of the current. The low cost or chinese cables tend to heat up faster when connected high current chargers as cable used is very thin. So once cable gets heated, it also transfer heat to charger and phone. So when cable is hot, its current carrying capacity reduces and hence you get low current. In fact, you can use any cable with any charger but problem arises when quality of metal and thickness are compromised.

The law was implemented without considering the misuse. Stricter law was need of the time but nobody was concern about its misuse. Even new law, dealing with molestation has been misused. The other law on its way is new Company Law or Corporate Law which is will make life miserable for businessmen unless amended.

Happy birthday Kanaga Deepan....

Article is published in today's Times of India (Mumbai edition).. CAG has asked to cancel RJIO license as auction was rigged. The logic behind is that IBSPL, which won the spectrum by bidding 5000 times more than its net worth..

^^^ You missed one point. you should also know about friends of your child and with whom he/she is hanging out..

AndroidOne - Low cost Nexus???

there are many such apps but all are paid and cost about US$ 50 per year. also keep in mind that once kid resets the phone, this becomes useless. I am also against spying on kids and it creates more trouble then anything good. You should discuss with kids rather than doing such things.

R Jio will start service from next year as per Mukesh Ambani. He informed this at shareholders' meeting. Source: NDTV Profit

^^^ can you explain how it can be done. BTW CM11 snapshot is also available for this phone. Those who are interested in the same, can download it from here I am thinking of installing cyanogenMod 11

Happy birthday Parin....

SwiftKey - One the best keyboards is now free. those who had paid/bought, will get about 10 themes free of cost..

Those who won't get Note 2 bank, should not get dishearten. There is alternative for better battery, like using custom ROM. It will definitely give you more juice then existing one..

Got PS4 from Dubai with 2 gaming pads/controllers, Fifa 14, Call of Duty and one free - Kill zone.

+91 problem is old in foreign phones.. Earlier Samsung had option to replace it but it didn't work for SMS.. you have to change the numbers or try some third party dialer but again, SMS might be problem. Sent from my SCH-R950 using Tapatalk

Off topic, @kanaga minimum how many numbers required for CUG?

4G auction: Supreme Court notice to Centre, Reliance Jio, Trai Source: Times of India NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday sought responses from the Centre, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) and Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd on a PIL seeking CBI probe into allocation of broadband wireless access (BWA) spectrum for 4G services to Jio which allegedly caused Rs 40,000 crore loss to the exchequer. A bench of Justice HL Dattu and Justice SA Bobde issued notices to the three respondents on a PIL filed by NGO 'Common Cause', which had challenged the irregular allocation of 2G spectrum and 122 licences to mobile service providers in the apex court. The SC had in February 2012 cancelled all 122 licences allocated during the tenure of A Raja as telecom minister and ordered their auction. It had ruled that spectrum was a national resource and it could not be allocated without taking the auction route. The court had later clarified that auction, though the best method to get the best price, might not be the thumb rule for allocation of other mineral resources. For the petitioner, advocate Prashant Bhushan said the government violated the 2012 judgment by allowing "backdoor entry to Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd into voice telephony without auction at the price determined in 2001 (Rs 1,658 crore) for a pan-India licence." The NGO said comptroller and auditor general (CAG) had conservatively assessed the loss to the exchequer from the BWA spectrum allocation to Jio at Rs 22,842 crore. "The government, while allowing voice telephony to Reliance, has not revised the spectrum usage charges (SUC) matching with what is being paid by existing operators providing voice telephony. They pay between 3% and 5% SUC depending on the quantum of spectrum they hold, but Reliance would pay just 1% of its revenue," the NGO said. "This has not only disturbed the level-playing field and provided undue advantage to Reliance, but it has also caused huge loss of revenue to the government for the 20-year licence period. Together (with CAG estimate), these undue benefits to Reliance add up to about Rs 40,000 crore and corresponding loss to the exchequer," it added. The NGO further said, "From the sequence of events narrated in the CAG's report, it is evident that it was a well planned strategic move of Reliance Industries Ltd in which initially Trai and later department of telecom and the telecom minister conspired to cheat the government to provide undue favour to a private party."
