you can try this. should be less than 6900 if you have 7% discount coupons. http://www.ebay.in/itm/Swipe-Sonic-CDMA-GSM-EVDO1-2-GHz-Dual-Core-4-Display-Android-Jelly-Bean-4-1-/181349931594?pt=IN_Mobile_Phones&hash=item2a394c5a4a

for whatapp even 2G or 1X would do. so do you really need data on both??

@VA why not, when used with Viber/LINE, you can use it to call anywhere in the world, as long as you want.

^^^ No threat to Viber or even LINE.

^^^ MTS 999 plan is for data card only. not applicable for smartphones.

indicated in the MTS website for Delhi circle only.

so according to the article the launch sequence would be Delhi + Mumbai > South > West > North > East.

at 5 cars per city, not much of a real option

Not seen any tower at Kolkata

Dipan ji Airtel is also offering 4G on iPhone 5c/5s at Bangalore using the same 4G SIM

@digitalnirvana Airtel 4G at Kolkata uses a SIM to identify subscribers, both in the dongle and in the router. The SIM can be interchangeably used in both devices. Is R-Jio coming up with a different model?? both are supposed to used the same LTE technology??

^^^ When the membership is 10-20 times the available capacity, you can never be assured of any vacation, let alone a full week every year. If it is assumed that you will get chance once in every three years (that also is very unlikely), even a vacation costing 100000 for a week would be easily funded by the annuity income. Plus, when price index goes up, the ASF charged by the company also goes up. So the cost paid in terms of interest+loss of principal+ASF will ALWAYS be more than the cost saved on the holiday. That is how these companies make profit. It is part of the business model.

Actually the calculation is slightly different. After 25 years, you DO NOT get your money back. so not only interest but also principal amount need to be considered. For Rs.3 lakhs @ 25 years and 10.5% the annual EMI comes to Rs.34000. The Annual Charges (incl. 12.36% service tax) works out to more than 11-12000. So you end up paying about 50k every year for ONLY accommodation. Since you would not really go on a holiday every year, the effective number of days every year may be around 3 or 4. So the per night accommodation charge is around Rs.16k.which is more than even the costliest 5 star rates. For 50k a year, you can get an all inclusive 4 days 3 night holiday package.

there is no free lunch. no company offers anything at a loss. here are few fine prints, 1. you pay anything from 3 to 5 lakhs upfront 2. it works on time share basis, so you have to go on holiday where there is vacancy, not where you actually want to go. if there is no vacancy, you can not go. 3. even after paying upfront, you need to pay some amount annually and also some amount at the location for "facilitation" or similar charges 4. even if you do not go any year, you dont get any benefit better invest that amount elsewhere and enjoy holiday as per your choice from the return.

anyone working in govt/psu sector, remember to check the option of Postal Life Insurance also

trademark Mukesh Ambani "disruptive pricing"

hope that existing RCom customers will get some benefit

I have recently got a TP-Link MR3020 3G/4G router. I tried to connect my existing MTS ZTE AC2766 through it. The modem setup already had the option for connecting to MTS with user-id & password and I have selected and saved them. But even after stting this, first the router is taking ages to detect the modem and even after detecting it is not connecting. It displays "connecting.." but never connects. Cane anyone pelase help.
