that's pretty bad news. with less than one day backup it is definitely not worth the features. But how is Hetal getting such great backups; are you guys sure your set is not faulty?

Here's the much awaited numbers... Uninor logs in 1.2 mn subscribers in first month of operation Source

nope. Just recently I lost my 2 Airtel numbers...

^^^ I too share the same opinion.. Revenues are not going to see a drastic fall as these telcos project/pretend to happen.. It may just be their gimmick to create a soft-corner in govt for some subsidies/tax-sops(just my stupid opinion... he he.. ...) Govt. is already considering giving license-fee relief to BSNL.. http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/news-by-industry/telecom/BSNL-may-get-licence-fee-relief-to-regain-lost-ground/articleshow/5418286.cms

and these three (Aircel, RCOM and Tata) offers the lowest tariff.. so what is the moral of the story

With the current tariff with NUC on CDMA no one will remain on CDMA after MNP(Even after making High end OMH enabled Handsets available). If you are a heavy internet user, one will be tempted to move to either RGSM or TD. I hope RCOM take a fast decision to stop charging NUC on CDMA..

well... exactly same problem for Google Maps(without GPS) "My location ". When I was in Chennai, "My Location " is shown some where in Mumbai. I feel RCOM has not set up their towers to map to a location; all locations point to their Mumbai server or so... Any expert answer on this??

The pack cannot be used while roaming on other network? Although not a problem considering TD is available in 17 of 22 cirlces. http://www.tatadocomo.com/gprs.aspx

Its nice tariff.. comes to just 50p/1Mb with smaller pulse of 20kb With night free data usage its better than RGSM's new GPRS plans.

Here's the quote from TRAI regulation details for MNP so no worries... wait for MNP!!

^^^ well.. Their union doesn't want to dilute stake.. for that the company must survive in the long run... to accomplish that they will need to do (sooner or later) what I said above...

What is the actual motive of selling stake in BSNL to public? (Anyone, Any idea?? ) As I see, there is no need of cash. BSNL is having surplus of thousands of crores. How does selling stake increase revenue and hold market share? It doesn't. BSNL just needs to remove those non-working, non-committed, inefficient staff(both top-execs as well as lower cadres) and replace them with qualified and energetic people!

^^^ that's wrong. MNP is technology neutral. You can freely shift from CDMA to GSM and vice-versa

MNVOs may break even faster... Their investment is just a fraction of what these mobile operators pour in.

tanveer, you are on DAPO plan right? What about others? Are they charged separate NUC?

I too received the free top-up , Arun

Google says any insider info when Indians will be able to order the GSM version?

Congrats Ankur, Please do post a detailed review on the handset

From their FAQs

The BSNL site says there is no need to change the SIM and you can use the existing 2G SIM..

I tried to migrate existing 2G prepaid to 3G by sending SMS. Got reply "Invalid Symbol". Looks like its just an official announcement. Full launch is going to take some more months.

Does corby support simultaneous data and voice usage? or is the call rejected when on a data session?

^^^ RGSM is on 1800MHz

Home 750UL plan gives 256kbps speed 24*7. No increased speed at night
