does it make any change too u when choosing rtl and rcom??

Where is circuit?

Really free incoming?? no cap on usage of i/c calls minute? And WHY plan is limited to new delhi only?

No dear Smart is under RTL(reliance telecom limited) where as the newly launched gsm is under RCOM RTL is having gsm service in 7 circles as named SMART MP/Chattisgarh Assam West bengal/ Kolkotta Bihar/Jharkhand Himachal pradesh Orrisa NE Smart GSM is almost 10 years old operation of GSM service by reliance under RTL in the above circles now all(cdma+GSM+SMART) are under one head called RELIANCE MOBILE. within fews week smart name will be disappeared.

rcom was having license to operate fixed line, so they choose cdma, as their was facility to provide mobile handset through WLL . and as per govt WLL was consided as FIXed line phone and not mobile. so rcom takes illegel route for mobile telephony in india. and saves some Rsxxx cores requires for license of mobile operator. this all happedc in year 2000-01.

DONT WORRY offer will be extended. about ROAMING, bsnl is till working on . about 2mbps and 256 kbps. broadband is getting good subsciber so high tariff won't them go back, EVDO gets very less subsciber so they need to maintain low tariff+ it's wireless and les stable than BB

MUMBAI: Subscriber numbers in India’s wireless story are losing their relevance today as far as determining the industry position of a service provider is concerned. It will be revenues and not subscriber numbers that could decide the pecking order in the world’s fastest-growing telecom market. This is reflected in the latest revenue figures released by the industry regulator, Trai. Going by this, the top three operators in India are Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Essar and Bharat Sanchar Nigam (BSNL). Airtel’s adjusted gross revenue (AGR) from wireless and wireline operations was Rs 7,998 crore for the March quarter. Vodafone Essar, which offers only mobile services, had revenues of Rs 4,456 crore during January-March 2009 on a subscriber base of 68.7 million. Reliance Communications (RCOM), which has the second largest customer base, reported an AGR of only Rs 2,998 crore on 72.6 million users during the quarter, making it the fourth largest in terms of revenues. The revenues for the state-owned BSNL stood at Rs 3,943 crore making it the third largest. BSNL offers mobile services on GSM apart from fixed line services. Besides showing the revenue capabilities of an operator, AGR is significant, as it is the basis on which service providers pay licence fee and spectrum charges. Operators pay a revenue share licence fee to the government ranging from 6% to 10% of their AGR.Increasingly, operators are targeting revenue growth instead of a larger user base. According to Bharti Airtel’s vision statement, the company’s aim is 20% increase in revenue margin per subscriber in the next few years. Analysts contend that with more and more low-end users signing up for services, it is becoming difficult for operators to maintain margins and improve ARPUs (average revenue per user per month). In such a scenario, those who continue to grow revenues along with subscriber base will be the clear winners. “As the new subscriber base is primarily drawn from tier III towns and rural markets, the incremental subscriber addition is not leading to a commensurate revenue upside for telcos. The catchphrase to evaluate a telco’s performance will be quality of subscribers rather than the number of new subscribers,” Acsendia Consulting principal analyst, Alok Shende told ET. A smaller player like Idea Cellular, which operates in 13 circles, had AGR of Rs 2,389 crore on a subscriber base of 39 million. This is just about Rs 600 crore less than RCOM on a base which is almost half of that company. KPMG director (telecom) Romal Shetty said, “Initially, everyone was going after subscriber numbers. Now, they are looking at quality of subscribers. This explains the emphasis on value added services (VAS), which bring in higher revenues.” He pointed out that low-end pre-paid users are now bringing in monthly revenues of as low as Rs 70 per month. Tata Teleservices reported revenues of Rs 1,889 crore during the quarter placing it at sixth followed by state-owned Mahanagar Telephone Nigam (MTNL). Aircel, a relatively new entrant, is at the eight position, which had AGR of Rs 721 crore during the quarter.

U have seen Offer like Rs0.5/min for local and even Rs1/min for STD, BUT don't get angry if Telcos withdraws such tariff in future. Coz now TRAI is looking for scenario where ARPU will get increase. And if at all VAS failed to do that, then Target to archive high ARPU is through VOICE CALLS only. And THIS is FIRST sign of call rate will be increase in future. Why i am saying this is that even NEWEST PLAYER in country(RCOm GSM) is failed to archive subscriber after CEP comes to end. And just calculate what was their ARPU During CEP(probably minus Rs1XX) and what will be it's ARPU today. Also from past few years tariff were continously falling, so Industry needs correction MAY be this correction will happen after launching TATA DoCoMo (GSM service targeted for NICHE subsciber) or may be after MNP be implemented Or may be after 3G auction held.

Did u try between morning 9 AM and night 9 PM ? @ saket_kewate i tried calling using my number today, but it says duplicate number. so thats means only one call one minute from a number, no daily one minute call.. ITS working for me. I tried vice versa it worked saying duplicate. try with different number

plz try 2maro. so we will get confirmation that we can make 1 call per DAY or not

DOES it make any sense. THAT you would have given just Rs1.5(if STD) call for a day?? that means 1.5*30days just Rs45 for month??? I wonder if any one will go fot THIS(it) offer..

Today I Saw two New Network Code IND 037 and IND 37.(Maharashtra Circle) In Manual Search. its TATA GSM.

Today I Saw two New Network Code IND 037 and IND 37.(Maharashtra Circle) In Manual Search. its TATA GSM.

My detail bill shows call to 9037012345 as NAME of OPEATOR as "TATA_GSM_ERNAKULAM"

but easy process for all new operator like rgsm tata docomo and all new GSMplayers

tamil nadu number is also active call at 9043012345

I doubt It will work on low speed GPRS, and that too from sad BSNL

A good move for increasing teledensity in Rural areas of india. Thanks to samaung

me too

Reliance Netconnect USB modem and PCMICA data card now stands at Rs 1,990. in maharashtra too

u r missing some lines while reading Virgin doesn;t reqire any special reacharge(save Rs16) Virgin doen't deduct balanced if u havn't made any call? (save Rs1.5/day) Virgin chages every call at rs0.5 after first call, and rcom charging is based on second minute of call. so rcom is looting subsciber, virgin's offerr is too better than rcom

Other possibility is that one toll free number is given. whr u can call or sms the derired num for whch u want to know operator name. e.g. 5xxxx. will be number. u can sms mobile number and reply comes as operator nane. circle name etc. or u can call and punch the number. and it will prompt service provider nane

doesn.t understand operation of ths company. is it mvno or partner like hungama.com
