I got reply from @JioCare as follows: Hi Vinay, there is a mismatch between UPC code received by you via SMS and the UPC code filled in the form. So you are requested to go back to store and fill the form again with the right UPC code - Payal Now what crap is this? Experienced members, please guide me. The UPC that I'd generated on 27-Sept would get expired. Am I right? Thanks, Vinay

Sarvesh, That is good information, which I wasn't aware that it was documented in TRAI's site. Thanks for sharing! Like most of us here, I've been with them morons for over 13 years and have lost track of how much of my money is with them.

Hey that was the same good experience I had with the porting procedure too! It's been 4 days in my case. Just to make sure RComm doesn't mess it with the port-out, I tweeted the request number (UCSXXXXXX) and they confirmed that it's in process and there won't be any problem, but it would take 7 days. So another 3 more days. If they don't mess up anywhere, then I'm good to go. More over all my bills are clear! Others, I've got a question for you. What about all the deposit amount that RComm kept holding from our side, like advance-plan-migration charges, ISD deposit etc. Is that all a write off???

Hi Ayaz, did the MNP go through smoothly from RCom to Jio? I guess it's been more than 7 days in your case. Just curious to know if MNP is working well between the two. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I'm from Bangalore, Karnataka. My plan is 399 Voice + 2 GB of Data and the additional Rs. 246 for 5GB. I'll visit the reliance mobile store today and will update. Thanks!

Guys, I need some direction. I called up the morons this morning and asked them to stop my "data plans" as of now and retain only voice plans so that they don't keep billing me wrongly for data. The Customer Exec says, they won't be able to do any changes to my data as we're the 4G customers. I asked him if I can totally stop using RCOM, he says I can't do that either. What a pathetic situation. Can you please lemme know what is the best thing that I should be doing? Thanks, Vinay.

Can you please throw some light on SIM-patching process? Mine is a HTC One E8 Dual SIM. Would SIM-Patching enable my phone to receive Band 40 (2300Mhz) Thanks!

Well I guess even TRAI isn't responding on the petition. If so, we will have to draft a petition against TRAI or get some of the powerful leaders like Mr. Subramanyam Swamy to take charge of these scammers.

I'd simply tweet them on @RCommCare. Works like a charm!

In Bangalore, at places where there is no network, my phone keeps registering on Aircel, which I understand that they are merging up soon. But I also see my phone registering on Tata Indicom as well. Is there something going on with them as well?

Guys, did anybody receive any communication about the billing adjustment from RCom? For the last 2 months I'm also paying for my data plan though it is shut down an left us on 2G, which is like stone age and no one uses it. We should be definitely getting this money adjusted in the subsequent billing cycles. Please confirm if you have any info about it. Thanks!

Same here Arun, I'm from Bangalore as well. I inserted the new 4G SIM in my HTC One E8 Dual Sim model and am receiving only 2G. A word on this SIM patching: Can any one tell us whether my HTC One E8 Dual Sim supports 4G when they start the services? And would the Reliance Store guys would do the SIM patching for us? Thanks!

Very slow speed (25kbps download) in Bangalore in general and Vijayanagar area in particular for the last 2 days. Can you guys please share your experience? Have created an SR and following up with the customer care. They say some technical work is on. No resolution yet. Thanks, Vinay

Hello Sameer, It's been a while since we spoke about the speeds in Bangalore. Are you still getting the same 12.36 mbps kind of speed even now? Cuz, I've been checking the speed lately and it doesn't seem to exceed 3 mbps at all. Is there a setting I'm missing on my phone? Can you please check from your end and post the result? Thanks, Vinay Hi vinay, I have been facing same speed issue since last 50 days. frequently call drop and not even getting a good signal, only 1x everytime and unable to browse net. called to customer care so many times, but no any response from their side. 5 days before I got a call from mumbai regarding these issues. A technician came to my place and resolved all the issues. Now I am getting the same good speed. These technician would visit every tower and as early as possible you would also get the good speed. Thanks for confirming that Sameer, I'm following up very closely with the Customer Service guys. The Mumbai team called me up and collected additional info from me, but they closed the ticket saying my phone (even alternative number) was not reachable. I'm not letting them go so easily... Been creating more and more SR tickets. Will update once I'm good!

My SIM is RECRUC series... It reads as follows: RSN: RECRUC06XXXXX69 (XXXXX being masked intentionally) Even now the speeds I'm getting is not more than 3 mbps. Is there anything else I need to do to get good speeds in Bangalore? Thanks, Vinay

The Reliance CDMA signals in Mahadevapura area (work-place) in Bangalore are so bad. Network bars in phone keep flickering, EvDo becomes 1X, and we don't get incoming/outgoing calls and SMS. Due to this the battery is getting discharged like crazy. This has been happening for the past one month. I called up the customer care jokers and lodged complaint, they said they've been working on the issue, but no resolution yet. The moment I leave this Mahadevapura tower and reach near KR Puram area, I get all signals and get all the sms that were queued up due to bad coverage. Has anyone been facing this issue?

Thank you.. I am doing some searches here and there. If I find one, will update here.

Guys, Is there a good Dual SIM CDMA phone with the below requirement in HTC's Desire or One line-up? Slot-1 : CDMA - EvDo must work. Slot-2: GSM - 3G must work (unlike in the E8, which supports only EDGE in Slot-2). If not HTC, any other suggestions are also most welcome. Thanks, Vinay

Hey Sameer, I live near Chandra Layout, Vijayanagar area. I found a newly opened reliance store here on the Nagarbhavi main road around Moodalapalya area. Got this guy's number who runs this place. His name is Pasha. PM me in case you need his number.

That may be because of your SIM being a non-OMH. But on a newly provided nano-SIM one should get this message from 52811, post which the phone needs a restart:

On 1st nov I visited mumbai. I was getting rev b network in my htc desire 816 and speed upto 5-6 mbps. Here in bangalore I am getting 8-10 mbps.. Sameer, I bought a HTC One E8 recently. I'm not able to get the connections rightly. The data gets connected and keeps dropping in sometime and it says - "Disconnected because service is unavailable". Also, connection is always on 1X and EV symbol shows up, but without connectivity. Could you please be able to help me rectifying the connection issue? Would highly appreciate your help. Thanks, Vinay Hi vinay, 1. Have you activated EVDO on your sim? if not then please get it activated first by creating a request through reliance insta care app. This is the best way to get it activated within 48 hrs. Rev b is here in bangalore, so go to setting--About--network--mobile network type and check network, it should be type of EvDo-rev A or EvDo-rev B. if it is there then your area is covered under EvDo. 2. If EvDo is already activated then please check your sim type. in bangalore, reliance web world is providing old pattern type sim, which is not compatible for smartphones. please replace your sim card with new pattern. Thanks a ton Sameer for your reply, On point 1, EvDo services are active on my SIM, and I checked the Mobile Network Type in the About section. It is EvDo-rev.B. On point 2, I will now have to check the SIM type; as you rightly mentioned, it is a very old SIM which I started using from my older phone (cut into nano size). Will get it replaced asap and get back to you with the results. But, as you also mentioned - Would reliance web world issue the new pattern sim card to me? Or how do I go about it? Many thanks, Vinay Hi vinay, It means problem is with your sim card. Just replace with new one. last year in bangalore, reliance world provided even micro sim. But since 6 months they are providing only old pattern sim which does not work in any smartphone for data. only one excuse, "they have some supply issue in bangalore". Even i thought to port my no. but one of my friend from chandigarh provide me new blank micro sim card and I am enjoying best data speed. Hey Sameer, My phone now works like a gun! Many thanks to you to have guided me towards the SIM change. Yep, I got myself an OMH nano-sim, there was no problem with the supply too. And one last thing that I did was - Sent the message "HSD" to 55444, and I no more see 1X speed nor the 1X symbol on my phone... It's only Ev now. Couple of best things that I observed: Speed - no doubt I second your speed tests posted in the below post. I turn off data during nights... The next morning when I turn it on, the data is connected within fraction of a second and I have all my incoming items flowing in. This never happens to me with Airtel 3G. I'm gonna have my Airtel 3G disconnected. - Thanks again!
