seems that they are offering only per second based plans

In the other thread, its mentioned that for Simply Reliance plan (in pre-paid) tariff validity would be for 90 days only.

All really good arguments. From the point of view of respective authors. But they all omit one basic form of non-veg. Fish. The longest living persons of modern age all come from one single country. Japan. And they don't eat meat, they eat fish. Fish has soft but multi-layered flesh. So you don't need sharp canines. But you need strong jaw bones and also need to pre digest the food before it reaches the stomach. Palaeontologists say that somewhere in the evolution of Humans, we took to the sea. Which explains the shape of our feet and our lack of body fur. It also modified our respiratory system to help develop the vocal chord. And in sea, the only available food is fish. And the fish protein also helped develop the brain to make us what we are today. So by that logic, we are neither vegetarian nor meat eaters but fish eaters.

How come Reliance Towers were spared?

I believe Vodaphone has already launched 8 series numbers in jharkhand and reliance GSM also earlier launched 8 series numbers in Pune.

While considering the break even point, also consider two more possible alternatives provided there are no partial pre-payment penalty, 1. Making a pre-deposit of Rs.18 K in the existing loan account 2. Making a pre-deposit of Rs. 56 K in the existing loan account In certain conditions, the above options may get better results. As for the break even point, most people take home loan for 20/25 year period. So, it could definitely make sense to shift if the balance period of loan in 10/15 years.

I'll wait too. hope it will work with Reliance and on 1x CDMA too (originally seems to be optimised for EVDO Rev.A), particularly when unlimited net is now only 599. It doesn't have wifi, still at sub-10K should be a great deal.

How good is the WAP browser? Does it have a modem to connect to PC/Laptop. and is it possible to use normal R-Connect user ID/Password with the WAP Browser (now that unlimited R-Connect is available at Rs.599)

this could be a blessing in disguise as it would possibly mean the real end of sms advertising that even the much hyped "do not disturb" could not control much. As for the banking SMS, most banks already charge the customer for such services.

Rates are for local only or for STD also?

When RIMweb started, it definitely was mainly focussed to Reliance. But over the years, so many service providers have come up and so many plans have come up that the users have started asking all sorts of clarifications. And thanks to the great members, they got really good answers also. So now it has become Indian Mobile forum rather than just RIM Forum.

Are these GSM/GSM or GSM/CDMA sets?

For last few years we had the Lalu brand of Railways. Now lets see the Didi brand also.

thats good. but MTNLGaruda uses landline type numbering (8 digit preceeded by STD code - same as initital R-CDMA). so how roaming is going to work, are they supposed to allot temporary local no.s.

what is the price for Samsung set.and what is the model offered.

Recently Acer has launched a Nettop EL1600 @ 12000 (without monitor) based on Atom processor with 1GB RAM and 160 GB HD. could be a better option for those having exisitng LCD TV.

Yes spice D-1100 has been around for almost a year

The main hidden objection seems to be that once 11 no. comes in the premium no.s would be useless and the GSM Co.s may face demand for return of money demand as per the clauses of the premium no. agreement with the subscriber.

And also after-sales issues. what if it needs to be repaired?

Oh God! Now the WWE guys would have to think new ways to achieve their targets.

So far the opinion seems to be equally devided.

Wow! Thats a lot of handsets. And with Govt. banning Chienese sets, their business is only going to increase furhter.

I would continue with my existing BSNL 2mbps night unlimited (2-8) with no FUP & day 2.5 GB + landline rent + 50 calls for 600 + taxes rather than going for this stupid plan.

I recharged a CDMA prepaid no. through myservice and it was successful with immediate effect.
