Google play does not work is there is a variation between server date/time and phone date/time. Teh date/time must be made correct first. Its a very basic issue but often forgotten.

^^ I also think the same. I think they are just trying to shift as many low ARPU customers as possible so that they can keep a minimum spectrum for CDMA and provide service to the high ARPU customers.

Meaning that in circles like Delhi and Kolkata where MTS is also available, users may be given the option to opt for MTS SIM? not sure Based on this post and the above post, seems to be a possibility http://www.rimweb.in/forums/topic/37711-reliance-cdma-network-upgrade-to-4g-lte/page-5#entry325168

in case you decide to visit, please update as to whether MNP would be required.

Meaning that in circles like Delhi and Kolkata where MTS is also available, users may be given the option to opt for MTS SIM? Also, I have a Delhi SIM on roaming in Kolkata. Can I take a 4G SIM from Kolkata and migrate the number? Or do I need to obtain SIM from Delhi only?

Lyf phones are available online. but the reviews are very poor.

As per specs honor holly 2 plus does not support Band 5

I'm also facing similar problems with Kolkata number. 1st time the call gets connected but the voice on the other side is hardly audible. Voice clarity becomes proper only after calling 2nd or 3rd time. Strangely, for incoming calls no such issues.

If J5 supports VoLTE, between J5 and RN3 (16 GB), which one would be better? I know that J5 has only 1.5 GB RAM as against 2 GB of RN3 but the MIUI is expected to eat up more RAM.

yes. that too without any public announcement

is it required to fill up CAF again or produce KYC documents again for taking 4G SIM

^^ why evdo dongle? Is it possible that they plan to keep one 1.25 Mhz slot for evdo? or shifting pro3 to MTS towers?

This seems to be the cheapest option @ 4999 http://www.shopclues.com/reliance-jio-lyf-flame-1.html

Based on the information so far available, CDMA network is going to be killed and the complete spectrum farmed for LTE 4G

Does it mean that temporarily we can take 4G SIM and use with normal 3G phone till we get a 4G compatible handset.

Will Lumia 550 work with LTE Band 5? If yes, it could be the cheapest alternative. Microsoft website indicates following only, GSM network: 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz WCDMA network: Band 5 (850 MHz), Band 8 (900 MHz), Band 1 (2100 MHz) LTE FDD network: Band 8 (900MHz), Band 20 (800MHz), Band 1 (2100 MHz), Band 3 (1800 MHz), Band 7 (2600 MHz) It shows Band 5 but only as WCDMA (3G?). Also one of my cousin uses it with Airtel 4G in Kolkata but LTE Band 40 is not shown in Microsoft website. I'm thoroughly confused.

The pictures seem to be a part of FAQ pointers. Can you give the full FAQ/source link.

Sirji any idea what would happen to unspent balance in case of prepaid connections. Normally in case of port-out the unspent balance is forfeited.

what about MTS customers and MTS spectrum? utter confusion.

Kolkata cdma will work for nowAll people are getting 4g upgrade sms in all India Dear Customer,we are upgrading CDMA network to 4G shortly.As a preferred customer,await our invitation to experience the BEST4G network.RCOM For 5 circles they are upgrading which are low revenue zone Based on Reaction of that they wil deal with other zones As this 4g is big challenge every customer has to upgrade handsets which is really gonna hit reliance hard Received same SMS in Kolkata and Delhi Numbers. So even Delhi NCR and Kolkata CDMA are on the way out. But both circles also have MTS. So have a doubt about what they plan to do with MTS spectrum.

how can pro3 work if EVDO is shut down?

what happens to pro3 when RCDMA shifts to 4G

I was mainly on RCDMA for roaming. This would force a new option.

@vabs why not TCL T500L
