Hello All: I am starting a new thread for Rcom CDMA 4gLTE. Friends, got a call from webworld regarding upgradation of sim to 4glte for cdma subscriber. Sim Availability: He said this by Tuesday/Wedensday , sims will be available. No need to submit docs again Activation; By 25th April sim could be activated. Cost of Sim : INR 100/- Plan: Well he said that the current plan will continue till further information. Will existing CDMA handset work: No however if the handset supports 4g it will work. This the info i have recd . Keep updating this thread guys with further info. Disclaimer:This is info as per webworld guy . and i hope he is true to his word Sam007

Extermely unfortunate that RCom does this to its customers.This is not right!!! I wonder they want customers on their network or not?by giving a port out request will it help in retaining the same plan atleast with rcom? have a look at their strategy till date :- firstly you change from cdma technology to 4g so your cdma phone which u spent atleast 10-12k goes worthless or piece of paper weight next you tell customers to get new 4g phones to enjoy 4g services lastly you increase customers plans so that customers pay more wha! re wah! Rcom great going in loosing customers. Sam007

I am getting 4g signals for data in Pune since morning. Speed is good both ul/DL on 4g

Went to the webstore and asked when 4g will start, the reply from the store incharge was before 30th June for Maharashtra .There wil be call/sms informing the same for apn settings for 4g.I hope he is true to his word. By the way he informed me that Ahemadnagar has live 4g signals??Can any member confirm this. Sam007

Yes i also got call frm the same no.

@chiragthakkar: which lyf phone u purchased could u review the phone on the forum

Thanks for the invite Guru Gopali ji. Waiting for email. Sam007

@disney: Yes it will work as per reliance cc

@SmartSamrat; did you try the MTK engineering mode to enable manually 4g for jio? Also in some handsets like coolpad note 3 lite and coolpad for jio and data to work changing settings to enable 4g helps . Sam007

I recd the update too.My observations 1) Quality of connection after update:Good 2) Fluctuations - None observed till date. 3) Speed: Very good both upload and download. 4) Works on both sim slots. 5) Any expectations : Yes. Hope huawei continues to give quality updates. Sam007

I too got the message checked with the updater in tools tried to update but as usual no update.complained to huawei cc about this they said they will inquire. Guys anyone got updates kindly add reviews.This update thing is getting crazier by the day! Sam007

Hello All: Recd a call from Huawei people informing of OTA update withinn 4 days for smooth functioning of EVDO. They are collecting ime nos and meid from customers who had complained earlier for evdo not working properly.Those whose EVDO is not working properly should complain to huawei customer care number:18002096555. Sam007

Hi The issue is not abt RGE sim.This issuecan be solved. Complain to customer care regarding data not working on honor holly 2plus . Tell them to enable EV in you sim.They will call u . Then do *228 activate your sim in honor holly 2 plus. Viola ur data starts with EV.

Oh i forgot to mention the speed does not fluctuate but is comparitively less.Will post an exhaustive review soon . Sam007

Data has indeed started with EV.

Hello All: I had a word and dropped a mail with Huawei India and told them of this issue. The customer service guy acknowledge the issue for Internet Data not working on Reliance Cdma and said that Huwaei recd lots of complaints on this. He further added that this issue is being looked into by the product team and shall be resolved in the next 48 hrs. He had taken note of email and said that email will be sent with resolution.Also it is not the sim series problem its the software problem . By the way Tata EV works flawlessly on amanually adding apn settings. I hope this is not just another gimmick and things will sort out soon.Hopefully they release a patch soon !!! I think all those owning this handset should complain so that this problem sorts out soon rather than late. Sam007

Can anybody owning this handset post a exhaustive review.

Hello All: As far as 4g goes I think we have to be careful in purchasing the same, reason being apart from the band support one has to also ensure that the handsets supports VOLTE (voice over lte) to be future proof.Reliance JIo has VOLTE , other carriers might flolow suit. Hence our handsets need to be future proof.LYF handsets support VOLTE. Some handsets do support VOLTE however a software patch is required to enable VOLTE This is just for info , correct me if i am wrong. Sam007

Yes even i saw on zee business that jio wifi starting from 7th Jan 2015.no mention abt areas where it is starting

I think ADA RCOM will have to totally rethink strategy to be relevant once MDA RJIO 4g comes. New 4g handsets would be selling like hot cakes and the cdma handsets would be left in lurch ( i sincerely hope not though!!) Somewhere i read that RCOm would be concentrating on data and less on voice. Exciting times ahead with greater challenges. Sam007

Hi; the Apn is : T24.Internet then save the apn. use exactly as above. will work perfectly. one has to wait for sometime before the internet bars are displayed. if you dont want to wait restart the phone. it will work let me know cheers Sam007

Hello: Its been a very long time since i posted on the forum though i follow the posts extremely regularly. As far as EVDO is concerned i do have the BSNL EVDO since a long time the major benefit is the pricing with unlimited usage and no caps or FUP. However the speeds vary and have never touched the most acclaimed 2.1MBPS even when you are in close vicinity of the BTS. The average speed atleast which i get is around 990kbps~1Mbps max.I have tried all tricks to get better speeds but of no use. BSNL EVDO does not work in Mumbai nor Delhi , i have tried at both these places it does not even show 1x connenction infact no signals. As far as other areas other then these two are concerned the connectivity is good and in remote areas it switches to 1x mode with max 300kbps. The reason for drops in speed in semi metros is because of increased number of users in a particular BTS. With the RUIM cards and the Micromaxx modems the spped increases by 100kbps.RUIMS are not available everywhere in India , the marketing dept of BSNL have been selectively launching the cards . In Maharashtra no signs of it yet.Its has been tested but not launched yet. Sam007

Hi: 1)BSNL EVDO card has already a pre programmed number.Hence it would be impossible to use Reliance Card even though the slot is there. 2) The slot is there for voice services when enquired with BSNL they said that they would be supplying the card in the near future so that one can use evdo both n mobile as well as the data card.Also can make voice calls from PC. 3) If u want to use relaince's card then i think you would need to reprogram it. 4) The speed of BSNL EVDO depends on their tower location.Ifyou are located near the tower then ofcourse you will get good speeds both download as well as browsing. 5) Also people have experienced diminishing speeds when used with vista os. there are drivers for the vista os for evdo card which can be downloaded. 6) Currently BSNl is supplying ZTEAC*700 EVDO cards of RevA which allow upto 3.1Mbps. Do let me know if you have any further queries about EVDO. Sam007

Hello: I would like to know from fellow rimwebians how to activate free internet on Samdung Corby CDMA for prepaid customers?I have already transferred to OMH sim and activated EVDO The CC tell that since this is a old number the benifit of 15gb download cannot be passed on ? Really strange.!! As and how i am connecting to internet via croby the balance gets deducted so the point is whats the use of the advertisement? Kindly help. Sam007
