Guys,
Its very clear from the advertisements and the news-print that "only RIM 2 RIM" SMS is FREE with that SMS pack. So its better you read carefully the news/offer, before using it, rather than cribbing later about it. You can always expect a "catch" like this almost every scheme reliance is gonna launch.
So watch out !!!
Cheers,

Reliance goes electronic with recharge in new year
* Almost instantaneous paperless transaction
* Can be done even while roaming
* Flexibility of denominations ranging from Rs55 to Rs1,100
DAKC (Dhirubhai Ambani Knowledge City), Navi Mumbai, January 04, 2005
In yet another first in the country's CDMA domain, Reliance Infocomm has launched an e-Recharge facility for its prepaid subscribers offering them with the flexibility to opt for denominations ranging from Rs55 to Rs1,100
With this, Reliance IndiaMobile (RIM) subscribers will be able to electronically recharge their prepaid accounts, almost instantaneously, with virtually any amount that suits their budget. They will also be able to top-up their accounts with micro recharges beginning with Rs55 without changing the validity of the original recharge.
The facility is already available at all Reliance WebWorld and Web World Express stores in major cities and will gradually be spread to other places and all the major retail outlets of the channel partner chain in about 1,500 cities and towns in the country.
Announcing the nationwide rollout of the novel product, S P Shukla, President - Wireless Products and Services, Reliance Infocomm said: "The e-Recharge brings in a great convenience and flexibility to the subscriber as they can choose any denomination that suit their budget and requirement."
"For instance, one can recharge his RIM account with Rs55 or multiples of even one rupee. It can be done even while roaming and there is always a recharge outlet near you, no matter where you are," he explained.
The Reliance e-Recharge works like this:
* The retailer on receiving the recharge request from the subscriber forwards the details - such as the denomination, the RIM number - to a prescribed number from his phone.
* The amount is then transferred to the subscriber account after the retailer authenticates it with his secure password.
* A confirmatory SMS lands on the subscriber's and retailer's phones in a matter of seconds.
The advantage for the retailer is that he saves on working capital and inventory cost on account of keeping a vast range of Reliance RCVs. From the customer's points of view, he now has the choice of going in for a paperless transaction - a growing trend in this information age.

Hey,
Me too got the same reply, like the LG 6130 is not there at all for upgradation !!! Anyway there is "NO SURPRISE" in the reply, as we are already used to the wrong information by these CC peoples.
Also went one step ahead and enquired about how mcuh we will get discount for out old handset, if at all there is any upgradation scheme.... The reply was shocking "Rs.750" !!! :'( So, its better don't go for the upgradation, better sell your handset and buy a new one !
Cheers,Silverline !

I guess this will be only good news to pre-paid users.... Not for post-paid ! Also the fact that, the number activation can be only done with the "Reliance network compliant" handsets will be the catch in this. Meaning, may be we will be only able to activate the reliance sold handsets rather than any CDMA handset you might find in the market ! So this may be only good news to people who might want to swap numbers.
Any different opinion about this ?
Cheers,
Silverline !

Hi,
Is there anyone who knows about the exchange options available for the old B&W handsets ? When i tried calling up the ever "useless & Irresponsible" so called customer support executives, they said there is no phone by named LG6130 (which is already released in the www.relianceinfo.com website on 17th Nov. itself)..... But when i asked how much discout we would get for exchanging with other models, the reply was shocking "Rs.750" only..... So, in my opinion its better don't go for exchange, may be convert it to prepaid and sell it to some one for some better deal and take a new one yourself
!!!Please post in your suggestions.
Cheers,
Silverline.

Hi Guys,
Seems like if you can hear the balance by dialling *347, you can start making calls from the customer rewards program balance by prefixing *390 infront of the number you want to call. I still didn't receive the communication from Reliance about this reward amount and the scheme, but i started using this. So, freinds start using the so called "reward amount" before it can expire
Also note that, for all non-reliance calls (including local) its 2rs/min while reliance-reliance its 1rs/min. So, BUDGET 249 & above plan users needs to be very careful, Coz for calling local mobiles, its only 1rs/min in our plan, but in this scheme its 2rs/min. So make sure you use this money only for those numbers which will be charged more than your actual plan charges.
Cheers,

Nokia 3125 Launched
in Nokia
Posted · Report reply
I upgraded by old LG handset with this NOKIA 3125 handset. So far so good... The price was Rs.4750 exactly a week before. Seems like it was a good choice certainly after going through some of the earlier posts in this forum.
Did anyone try doing something with the slot provided for inserting the SIM CARD in this 3125 ? I mean tried to convert this 3125 in to a GSM compatible as well : :'( ?! Imagine the possibility of switching between your RIM number and a BSNL number, b/w two dirt cheap service providers !!! Sounds interesting right ?
