Mostly It is real time but once I had a problem of lag and broken voice when my friend talks but he can clearly hear me. so may be a problem on his side. ( he has DSL connection and DSL is slower in uploads) U can safely use RConnect for Voice over IP.

On the Voice chat quality depends on speed at the both ends. But whenever i chat with my friend in CANADA. it is always good. sometime like a phone.

If your same phone And same cable works on other comp. only hope is try to re-install the OS. P.S (In this case, One virus activated it self named "Windows" so u have to re-install it)

First i like your alias. U may be fan of "The Matrix" like me. Error 692 is for Hardware Failure, For me this error occurs when i am in R-World still try to connect..so check that. Or else R-Connect is not installed correctly... See this topic also.. it can help

Hutch, Aircel capture top honours in TNS Celltrack Study. Source: Company press release, March 18, 2004 According to the latest annual TNS Celltrack report, cellular service providers, Hutch and Aircel have captured top rankings in meeting customer expectations. While CDMA players Tata Indicom and Reliance Infocomm are still far below in the customers’ reckoning – MTNL, the traditional cellular operator has appeared at the bottom of the heap. The final tally for the top five performers among individual operators has Hutch leading with a TRI*M Index of 99 in Gujarat, the next three operators from Madhya Pradesh - Idea, Reliance Infocomm and BSNL lead with 93, 91 and 90 TRI*M scores respectively. Hutch, Mumbai figures in the fifth slot with a TRI*M score of 84. Reliance Infocomm has done extremely well in MP considering it’s way below in the overall ranking. TNS used its proprietary TRI*M Stakeholder Relationship Management System, wherein the TRI*M Index is a measure of the ‘intensity of retention’ and takes into consideration both the subscribers’ level of satisfaction with the service provider as well as the level of retention and loyalty towards the service provider. The TRI*M Index of cellular phone subscribers at 70 is distinctly higher as opposed to CDMA subscribers, at 54. And inspite of the CDMA operators’ ability to attract customers and grow the customer base substantially in 2003, the CDMA/ WLL operators have not been able to anticipate and meet customer expectations. TNS zeroed in on 4,921 mobile users using a structured questionnaire across the 13-telecom circles, covering both GSM and CDMA service providers. While the study covered about 75 elements of the subscriber-service provider relationship, the parameters were whittled down to 8 broad dimensions namely, network and coverage, value added services, company image, re-charging processes and procedures (among pre-paid), purchase process, billings and payments, tariffs and pricing and customer care/ helpline. Fieldwork for the study was conducted between November –December 2003 period. Says Abraham Karimpanal, Vice President, Stakeholder Management Division, TNS India, “Looking at the performance of the cellular industry over time, we can see that the overall performance was continuously increasing until 2002. However, with the customer base almost doubling from 2002 to 2003, the TR*M Index marginally dropped from 72 to 70 – the service providers need to ‘delight’ the customers a lot more to retain them.” Interestingly, in case of the GSM service providers (cellular), customers seem satisfied with the ‘ability to make and receive calls in any part of the city’, however, the service providers have fallen short in meeting customers expectations when it comes to coverage within buildings, in basements or in lifts. The corporate image of the service provider continues to be an important aspect in driving retention and most service providers have been successful in building a positive and favorable image among the subscribers. ‘Error free’ and ‘accurate’ bills, being promptly delivered is something, the customers seem to be taking for granted and have little impact on retention. On the contrary, non-delivery on these could cause a lot of disgruntlement and unhappiness with the service provider. The customers still seem peeved with the amounts they have to pay for local and STD calls. The cellular industry has performed below average in various aspects related to ‘customer care/ helpline’. These include ‘time taken before someone attends to you’, their ‘ability to resolve complaints/ queries in the first instance’, ‘overall time taken to resolve complaints’, call center personnel’s ability to take decisions, ‘knowledge of customer care personnel about tariff plans and schemes’ and ‘the promptness in taking action on complaints’. In case of the CDMA subscribers, performance of the network is a key driver for building customer relationships as well. And while the subscribers seem satisfied with most aspects of the network, ‘coverage while roaming’ is something subscribers have to grapple with and is leading to discontent. The subscribers of CDMA services have a positive corporate image of their service provider particularly when it comes to ‘a company that is financially strong’ and ‘being a company that is credible and you can trust’. And positive corporate image is impacting and leading to building stronger relationship with their subscribers. The efforts made by CDMA operators in lowering ‘entry barriers’ and facilitating the ‘ease of acquisition’, have been acknowledged by the subscribers. However, a big concern for CDMA subscribers was found to be in the area of ‘billings and payments’. Subscribers seem upset with not receiving bills promptly and the bills not being accurate or error free. Also the way CDMA operators remind about dues and giving insufficient notice before debarring service for non-payment of dues is making customers extremely unhappy. Celltrack started in 2000 has been a yearly track ever since. Like the earlier tracks, Celltrack-4 is designed to provide a contextual map for mobile operators in the country to compare their performance, benchmark their performance against competitors in their respective circle; as well as compare performance with the other cellular operators across the country. Celltrack study conducted by NFO has been re-christened TNS Celltrack in the aftermath of global merger between NFO WorldGroup and Taylor Nelson Sofres in 2004.

Qualcomm plans software, chip design unit in India. Source: Forbes.com, March 17, 2004 NEW DELHI, March 17 (Reuters) - U.S. mobile phone technology company Qualcomm (nasdaq: QCOM - news - people) plans to set up a software development and chip design unit in India to benefit from the country's relatively cheap development costs, a top company official said. Paul Jacobs, group president for Qualcomm's wireless and Internet business, told reporters on Wednesday the centre was in the "very late stage of consideration". "We are actively looking at possibilities for chip and software development services," Jacobs said. "It would be a large number of people ... over 100. The amount to be invested would be significant." India's rapidly improving telecoms infrastructure and a growing army of lower cost English-speaking workers has been a magnet for global corporations seeking to reduce costs. Many companies source their software requirements from India's booming software services industry, or have set up their own units in the country. Qualcomm is already a major player in India's flourishing wireless sector, the fastest growing market in the world, through its chips in CDMA handsets being sold by several operators in the country. Qualcomm owns most of the patents to CDMA, or Code Division Multiple Access, the world's second most widely used wireless technology standard. It supplies about 90 percent of the chips for CDMA phones. The technology is being used by Reliance Infocomm Ltd, India's top CDMA-based mobile services firm, to provide wireless facilities to 6.5 million users out of India's total installed base of more than 31.5 million customers. Reliance Infocomm is 45 percent owned by Reliance Industries Ltd. India's top petrochemicals giant. Jacobs said he expected 13 million CDMA handsets to be sold in India in the year to September, 2004 because of roaring demand for mobile services in the country where three in 100 people own a mobile phone compared with more than 20 in China. He said Qualcomm had shelved plans to take a minority stake in Reliance Infocomm as the company had already rolled out its nationwide network without Qualcomm's cash. "At this point there are no discussions. At the end of the day they (Reliance Infocomm) were able to launch the network without any investments from Qualcomm," Jacobs said. Qualcomm had plans to invest up to $200 million in Reliance's telecoms business in exchange for a four percent stake. (Additional reporting by Unni Krishnan)

Qualcomm talking to Reliance for tie-up. Source: Sify News, March 17, 2004 US-based Qualcomm Inc, the pioneer of Code Division Multiple Access technology in telecom, today said it is talking to Reliance Infocomm for technical collaboration and expects over two-fold growth in India in 2004. ''We are talking to Reliance Infocomm for a technical tie-up,'' Qualcomm Inc Group President Paul E Jacobs told newsmen. Earlier, there were reports that the American company may pick up four per cent stake in Reliance Infocomm. Jacobs today denied such a move. He said last year around six million handsets with Qualcomm technology were sold in India and this year the sale was expected to be 13 million. Worldwide, the company is expecting sale of 142 million handsets based on its technology. Jacobs also said that Qualcomm is thinking to setting a development centre in India. While refusing to put any time frame for setting up the centre, he said that the development centre would have more than 100 engineers. ''The centre will work on chip design and software,'' Jacobs said.

Pre-paid Schemes Just Got Cheaper Source: Business Standard, March 16, 2004 Prashant Sharma had been toying with the idea of going mobile for quite sometime, but was reluctant to take the plunge. Though he had decided to go for a prepaid connection, he found the handsets expensive and choosing one from the numerous tariff plans daunting.Now things have become a lot easier for Sharma with more players turning their attention to the pre-paid market. Reliance Infocomm’s Reliance India Mobile (RIM) prepaid scheme offers latest handsets and as many as 20 free recharge vouchers with a prepaid connection. In effect, the price of the handset works out to as low as Rs 20. For example, for Rs 3,500, Reliance Infocomm is offering a Motorola C131 handset and 10 recharge coupons totally worth Rs 3,240. So, the net price works out to Rs 260. Similarly, for Rs 6,500, the company is offering 20 recharge coupons (totally worth Rs 6,480) with a Nokia 2280 or LG RD 2030 models. So the net price of these models works out to Rs 20. Reliance Infocomm is also offering colour handsets and a wrist watch model under similar packages. “We have sold over three lakh connections in the first two weeks of our launch. And this is only in the top 111 cities of the country,” said a Reliance Infocomm spokesman. “We are rapidly expanding to smaller towns and expect subscriptions to shoot up,” he said. Some dealers are offering the RIM package for as low as Rs 1,500, but without the free recharge vouchers. “The handsets available under the RIM scheme are a big crowd puller. Getting a handset was an entry barrier. Now, with Reliance offering handsets with its prepaid offering for as little as Rs 3,500, things have become easier for new subscribers,” says a dealer of RIM Prepaid scheme in Mumbai. The package is available in several retail outlets and R-World shops across the country. “A majority of the RIM prepaid customers are new to the prepaid segment. About 40 per cent of our customers have switched from GSM networks,” the dealer said. Officials of BPL Mobile and Orange refused to comment on the impact of Reliance Infocomm’s entry into the prepaid segment on their sales. But there is a catch in the RIM Prepaid scheme. The handsets on offer work on CDMA (code division multiple access) technology and can be used only with Reliance Infocomm’s service. So, if you want to change the telecom service provider, you will have to procure a new handset. Earlier, Bharti Cellular’s Airtel had launched a similar scheme where it offered a Motorola C 201 handset (costing Rs 3,246) for Rs 1,947 and a Samsung R 220 set (costing Rs 4,198) for Rs 2,999 with its prepaid connection. BPL Mobile and Orange offer the SIM card (prepaid connection) for Rs 99, but the handset has to be procured separately. These handsets can be used for any GSM service provider. The first two or four free RIM Prepaid vouchers (depending on the handset) are pre-loaded. Each of these vouchers offers a talk time of Rs 200 and are valid for a month. One has to recharge the card either when the talk time has exhausted or when the card’s validity is over. The balance talktime can be carried forward by using another recharge voucher. Reliance Infocomm also offers recharge coupons in denominations of Rs 540 (talk time of Rs 375) and Rs 1,080 (talk time of Rs 850). “This is another attractive feature of our offer. While other operators give a talk time of Rs 150 on their recharge cards worth Rs 342, we are offering a talk time of Rs 200,” the RIM spokesperson said. “We plan to launch recharge vouchers in other denominations depending on the demand,” he said. However, all the free vouchers must be used within six months. On completion of the six months, there is a grace period of six months when one can receive calls and SMS without recharging. However, calls cannot be made in this period. The recharge vouchers can be used for local calls, STD/STD calls, SMS and to access R World (free till June 30, 2004) and the Internet through R Connect. “Reliance is the only service provider allowing access to advanced services under the R World and R Connect platforms. However, the Motorola C131 handset does not support these features.” the spokesperson said. While the airtime charges are more or less the same for all prepaid offerings, RIM Prepaid is the only card where roaming is preactivated — one does not have to activate/deactivate the facility. Also, there is no roaming rental or airtime charge. As with other telecom operators, one needs a proof of residence and identity to get a prepaid card connection.

VSNL assigns four stm-1s to Reliance Infocomm.. Source: Business Standard, March 16, 2004 Internet gateway and service provider Videsh Sanchar Nigam (VSNL) has assigned four stm-1 circuits, a 155 mbps connectivity mode, on Flag submarine cable network to Reliance Infocomm, of the total 15 sought by the latter. "We had sought a total of 15 stm1s and VSNL has agreed to activate four stm1s on Flag cable network", Reliance Infocomm spokesperson Amit Khanna said today. The stm1s are expected to be activated today, Khanna added. Meanwhile, VSNL sources said the company was ready to assign more capacity to Reliance Infocomm, provided rightful customers are not deprived of bandwidth. The Tata group company is in control of the cable landing stations in India and is in a position to determine how much bandwidth should be released to the sub-continent. Reliance Infocomm had earlier alleged that VSNL was not releasing bandwidth over Flag and had blamed the Tata company for scarcity of bandwidth in the country. VSNL had stated that Reliance Infocomm had over sold capacity than the assigned capacity, which was creating a dearth in the sub-continent. Both VSNL and Reliance Infocomm had earlier written to Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) on the issue and the regulator said it would intervene if the companies do not settle the issue among themselves.(PTI)

Just Find this.

It is great if available in Digital format. Didn't find anything on google

Yes.. Interesting can u give more info about that. I lazy to go at RWW.

No, Green.. it's a diff problem.. However it can be solved. 1) When u uninstalled R-connect it don't remove samsung driver from Windows XP , Xp has Tendency to Cache Drivers files. 2) So, Go to Network Connections click New Connection and then wizard open up 3) Click Next 4) In Network connection type choose "connect to Internet" click next. 5) Then choose "Set up my connection manually" 6) Then choose "Connect using dial-up modem" 7) Type Any Name in ISP name box (e.g "Rim Con" 8) in Phone number type "#777" (e.g #777) 9) and as user name and password enter your RIM number with STD code and without leading ZERO '0' 10) now finish. your new connection will on desktop OR in Network Connections. now connect with the help of that and remember if u have another modem then goto properties of Your New connection( e.g "Rim Con" ) and make sure Samsung CDMA modem is current modem for that connection. Have Fun.

yeah, But they should atleast start PNR status info. Other GSM users able to use this from long time. see This. Where is reliance?(Yes, Their GSM service is listed )

They Added Airline Info How many RIM customers use that. very few.. I think they should first add service for Train Reservation status info.

Indian telecoms row keeps international access prices high. Source: Reuters News, March 12, 2004 BOMBAY (Reuters) - India's two biggest business groups are locked in a bitter tussle over international telecoms access that analysts said on Friday was preventing prices in the country, among the highest in the world, from falling. The disagreement has prompted the telecoms regulator to sit down with all India's international operators in an effort to hammer out an agreement on pricing. Failing that, the regulator said it would be forced to make the final decision. Reliance Infocomm, a telecoms operator owned by India's largest group, Reliance, has accused former international telecoms monopoly Videsh Sanchar Nigam Ltd (VSNL) of reneging on an agreement to release undersea cable capacity. "VSNL has not released (the capacity) as per agreement," said Reliance Infocomm Executive Director Manoj Modi. "Various operators are asking us for international bandwidth, but we are unable to provide it." VSNL, part of the rival Tata group, India's second-largest conglomerate, has rights to receive traffic from an undersea cable belonging to FLAG Telecom under a deal that predates Reliance's acquisition of FLAG in January. A senior official at VSNL, a state-run company that had a monopoly on international services until early 2002, rejected Reliance's assertion that it had not honoured its agreement. "The subject of differences between VSNL and FLAG Telecom is purely a commercial issue," said VSNL Managing Director S K Gupta. "VSNL and FLAG are engaged in a dialogue and we cannot comment further." In a letter sent to FLAG last week, VSNL said it was willing to negotiate on how much capacity to release and the terms for doing so. "We look forward to a proposal from FLAG," wrote K P Tiwari, vice president of operations. Industry officials saw the entire dispute as merely a game of one-upmanship. On the one hand, bandwidth prices needed to fall significantly and India clearly needed more telecoms capacity. But on the other, they said it was in the industry's interests to prevent a sudden glut and a resulting drop in prices that would drive operators without deep pockets out of business. HIGH PRICES International bandwidth prices in India are double those in China and four times those in the Philippines, analysts estimate. "Prices are so high because these two companies cannot come on to a common platform to decide on the terms and conditions," said Anant Katare, telecoms analyst at Khandwala Securities. "Sooner or later international bandwidth prices will have to fall by adjusting to the demand and supply situation in the marketplace." India's telecom regulator has met with all the international service providers to help them reach a consensus on the pricing and terms under which VSNL will make bandwidth available, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) Chairman Pradip Baijal said. "If they don't reach a consensus within the next two to three days, we will be forced to issue a binding regulation," he said. The conditions of international long-distance licences awarded by the regulator two years ago stipulate that no operator could create a "bottleneck" in the bandwidth allocation. "Where there is spare capacity, you cannot sit on it," said TRAI's D P S Seth, who is mediating in the Reliance-VSNL row. "Our interest is to see that bandwidth is available to our IT industry."

Yes, That the Question. It is time to determine reality of much hyped 'R World' service in RIM.

I prefer to watch News so to check news updates, Visit two or more time. It depends on charges they introduces.. but I think(?) they should don't charge us upto 30 June.

What about new poll/topic after 31 march that asks "Will u interested to pay for R-World?"

Finally We won.. What a relax? I turned off my TV in last over.

See following, u can found more like this on www.annoyances.org Is Windows a Virus? No, Windows is not a virus. Here's what viruses do: * They replicate quickly - okay, Windows does that. * Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as they do so - okay, Windows does that. * Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk - okay, Windows does that too. * Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with valuable programs and systems. Sigh... Windows does that, too. * Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too slow (see 2) and the user will buy new hardware. Yup, that's with Windows, too. Until now it seems Windows is a virus but there are fundamental differences:Viruses are well supported by their authors, are running on most systems, their program code is fast, compact and efficient and they tend to become more sophisticated as they mature. So Windows is not a virus. It's a bug.

I don't think... there is another number But the Question is.. Why u want to know?
