I am using Airtel broadband 256kbps 200mb/month during day & unlimited surfing during nite(9pm-8am)+ 100 pulses free on the phone. Rent Rs 350/- + taxes. Excellent plan for home use.

actually 'Media player' is meant to play all type of media that a handset supports i.e. video formats like mpg, avi, 3gp & audio formats like wav, aac, mp3,amr etc. U must have noticed that while playing videos the backlight never turns off. It is designed that way. 'Media player' is basically designed to play videos but when u play audio files in media player it treats them also as video format & thus keeps the backlight on while that track is playing. Now when u play audios on media player or even when u browse mp3 through galary & select to play, the track is played in 'media player' by default. & the backlight remains turned on. That's why mp3 should always be played through 'Music Player' application in the phone. Jayant also quoted that problem appears only when playing mp3 but not while listening to radio. its only b'coz u cannot play radio in media player & radio has a seperate application to play. I m sure Jayant must be playing mp3 in 'media player' & not in 'Music player'

i hope you listen to songs from music player application media -->music player and not from media player application media-->media player or from directly accessing the song from galary.

hi, although i'v read all the previous posts regarding free std toa particular no. or cheap sts rates, but all previous posts failed to provide any foolproof solution. So i m putting a new thread asking the same question again. Is there any plan on any mobile service provider which can offer free std to a particular number ? ( precisely between delhi & bombay). what can be the cheapest std rates that one can avail? I need yor suggestions.

I have this query for the technical people to answer. This is quite tricky...... Tata allows all its mobiles 'Roam like home' features. That means if you ever take your mobile on roaming then it will act as a local mobile with local tariffs in that circle. Suppose i take 2 tata mobiles A(Delhi number) B(Mumbai number) & i keep both A & B in Mumbai. Now if i call from A to B, I can call on local tariffs. (Roam like home tariff) (& if i take free Tata 2 tata pkg on mobile A then all my calls from mobile A to mobile B will be free {while both mobiles are in mumbai}) Now if I divert all incoming calls on mobile A to mobile B. then will I be able to receive all incoming calls (on mobile A) while roaming for free on mobile B? (As incoming call from Mobile A will be diverted to Mobile B & all calls from Mobile A to Mobile B are free. & mobile B is a local number & not on roaming so all Incoming calls to it are free. Is it possible ??

Hi, i was looking for some cheap plans by any operator to call to Europe (precisely to UK). Can someone plz suggest me some good plans ?

can any camera expert tell me more about this camera from Fuji http://www.letsgodigital.org/en/12998/fuji..._finepix_s5700/ http://www.dpreview.com/news/0702/07022210fujis5700.asp I want to know that how's its performance & can i attach more lense to it ?

@ GSV13 what's voip ? & where to get it ? could u plz tell in details ?

Rs1/min that too for listening a song is too much. i think it's very expensive. it's rather better to buy a phone with fm. there r more than 10 fm stations in almost all cities & on some station or the other u can always listen to your favourite song. & if u r a bigger music fan then go for a phone with mp3 player, just load your favourite stuff. thats it. I even received a sms regarding mobile fm on my gsm phone. their service is even more costlier. it costs somewhere between Rs3-5/min. Although such a service is good as it shows develepmont in technology. But their t high tariffs & availability of better alternate options at cheaper prices makes them useless for consumers.

hi, i wanted to buy a handset which could easily be converted & used with Tata & Reliance. i know some high end nokia phones are capable of it but i m looking for some very cheap alternative. Plz suggest.

No matter what quality does bsnl's network provides, but i think this offer will surely force Tata & rel to reduce their rentals.

For sure 444 plans are among best plans available. But these are only good for moderate/normal users, for those who need heavy std calling that too at particular numbers, for them these plans will prove to be quite expensive. & above all this thread is only dedicated to find out the cheapest std rates available.

6255 was not activated through a RUIM by reliance although it has a RUIM slot. I think it should work wtih tata, but only our rimweb handsets experts can confirm this.

Hi Raccoon, You r right, if anyone wanna go for a landline connection than NO ONE CAN BEAT this TATA plan http://www.tataindicom.com/t-2reasons-to-smile.aspx i'v never seen such cheap tariff for any phone connection. that too with zero rental, even clip is free. This is really a great plan. i wonder if someday mobile tariffs would be as low as this.

The rental for this is only Rs. 25. But i m afraid Raccoon , somewhere on the tata site i'v read that landline connections are not available in Maharastra & Goa. You check it first.

manish, well i m too in delhi & fortunately i have both Samsung Heronxt & Huwai Rythem(fm phone). Earlier i had two reliance connection which i got disconnected due to improper plans & bills. I am quite satisfied with Tata's network/bills/service. Read This As far as handsets are concerned both the handsets u mentioned are fine for Talk & Text. Display is good also good battery life. Heronxt is a good handset for a price tag of Rs 1000/-. But i must tell u this that i m not very satisfied with the speaker of these cheap phones. The speaker sound bursts at high volume. So i use a good handsfree with them & handsfree sound is perfectly clear. Read this Huwai is also good but i found some trouble when using it with a handsfree. Some vibration sound is heard by the other person if huwai user is using it with a handsfree. I'd rather recommend that u go for Motorola W170 fm phone(2300/-) which is slightly expensive than Huwai (1900/-) but a beter performer. u can pm me if u want me to suggest u a good plan & tell u who's giving best deals.

i dont understand why people are so amazed & happy to hear these new roaming plans ??? whatever BSNL & Reliance have done now after planning for so many days, TATA is giving much better roaming plans since its begining. Even now Tata has unbeatable & very econimical, simple & attractive plans. Since begining till date Tata is giving 'Roam Like Home' tariff while roaming. & just by paying Rs 150/- extra on any plan, you get 750 mins (i.e. 12.5hrs) incoming free & after 750 mins .50p/min incoming. Now u decide which roaming plan is more favourable for subscribers ??

Tata has launched a very attractive add on pkg for onnet std on one particular number.... Most Dialled Lite -STD All T2T Calls & SMS to One Tata Number anywhere in India to be charged @ 25paise/min & 25paise/SMS (Rs.25/ mth ) Most Dialled Jumbo - STD 500 minutes T2T Calls + 500 T2T SMS free per month to One Tata Number anywhere in India. Additional usage charged @ 50p/min & 50p/SMS (Rs. 100/mth) Most Dialled Local 500 minutes T2T Calls + 500 T2T SMS free per month to One Local Tata Number. Additional usage charged @ 25p/min & 25p/SMS (Rs.25/ mth ) I think Having STD calls as cheap as .25p/min that too on a very nominal rental of Rs 25/month is indeed very cheap.

Hi friends, Finally i got rid of my reliance mobile. I switched to tata indicom. Got a very good deal. Samsung HeroNxt handset + connection + reebok bag. for 1500/-( it also includes 500/- refundable security) Now let's see how good is Tata's service. I hope it's better than Reliance. Here's the link for Samsung handset. http://www.samsung.com/in/products/cdma/cdma/sch_s229.asp

well i tried LMS on tata Samsung Heronxt handset.Although the handset manual says that it supports LMS of upto 480 chars. But when i tried typing & as i exceeded 160th char, an alert appeared asking ' Do you want to continue on 2nd msg ?'. I even tried to send a very long msg from my gsm to tata. my msg was 1000chars long which was splitted to 6 sms when received on tata. Hence my experience says that 'Tata Do Not Support LMS'

i bet that the number of complaints they receive in a week from unsatisfied subscribers must be in billions ! but unfortunately such figures are never revealed in press confrences. Maybe in the next somewhere we could read a news titled ...... 'Reliance courtacy - 'A Billion Sorrows !!'

I m just getting used to this Samsung handset. So far I m finding it better in features,use & looks. U can read about the handset by clicking the link in above post.

ya i know about R2R free calls with 875/- voucher but now i dont trust Reliance. I hope u know that a month ago they were offering free R2R calls on 625/- voucher but now they charge for it. Moreover i think that after 11pm free calls wont be too helpfull. I believe that any offer by Reliance is very Unreliable. So i dont trust it. & friend i was preferring for a mobile phone option rather than landline.

As discussed in all above posts. The conclusion for best option for cheap STD calls to a particular no. was Taking two tata handsets, on one handset take free tata 2 tata plan & on Second handset take 'free unlimited incoming on roam' plan & send that handset to other state. But since feb 15 2007, tata has withdrawn 'free unlimited incoming on roam' plan. Now in your opinion, which method will be best for having very cheap or free std calls between Delhi & mumbai ? (Although Tata has a plan, Rs374 rental, Rs150 free talk time, free incoming while roaming 750 mins & after that 50p/min. I find this as cheapest alternative. what do u say?)

Well i must say that in the name of 'Low Cost Mobile' they are really selling cheap stuff these days. Almost all the low cost mobiles in the market are mostly ugly looking (although they have good shape) but the cheap looking plastic panels & bad display quality really make it like an 'undesired necessasity' stuff. I think mobile companies should rather keep on continuing production of their high-end old mobiles & keep on decreasing their prices. (rather than dumping cheap stuff in the market)
