Nothing Changes. - Still on Black-out day your SMS packs will not work - On black-out days you will be charged your tariff plan base rate (the new Reliance prepaid plans have Rs. 1 & Rs. 1.50 SMS Rate) - The only advantage I think is for customers who go for Reliance GSM master plan where the base tariff itself is 5p/SMS

On Reliance Try sending SMS 1479 to 155223 or 1601 to 155223 One of them should work AFAIK this is the TRAI mandated toll free short code

I have also heard TATA is shutting down CDMA towers which are not profitable in Maharashtra.

Just Heard Reliance has launched a minutes pack in MP of Rs. 199 offering 900 All Local Minutes valid for 30 days. Hoping the offer makes its way to Maharashtra/Mumbai so that I can also benefit from it.

Its raining offers for Reliance GSM in Mumbai STV 21 - All Local calls @ 0.5p/s for 30 days STV 36 - All STD Calls @ 30p/min for 30 days Pack 48 - 1000 Local R-2-R Min for 15 days STV 59 - All Local Calls @ 30p/min for 90 days STV 62 - All Calls @ 30p/min for 30 days And not to forget all the Extra Talk Time they are currently offering like TU60 - TT 65; TU 125 - TT140; TU300-TT350

Reliance is back with this voucher again which they had stopped sometime in Apr. Kerala - Rs. 97 - 1000 Local R-2-R Minutes +350 Other Local Minutes Kerala - Rs. 198 - 2000 Local R-2-R Minutes +700 Other Local Minutes Karnataka - Rs. 197 - 2000 Local R-2-R Minutes +700 Other Local Minutes Tamilnadu - Rs. 98 - 1000 Local R-2-R Minutes +350 Other Local Minutes Tamilnadu - Rs. 198 - 2000 Local R-2-R Minutes +700 Other Local Minutes

Yes Reliance also has similar system for example, in Maharashtra if a retailer recharges using ER as keyword for Rs. 99 recharge customer will get tariff discount applicable in certain area but if he sends recharge using SMS as keyword for Rs. 99 customer will get GPRS data (I think 300 MB)

Today from one of my RGSM numbers I was trying to call my friend. I realized that I do not have balance and hence went to Shop for recharge. But before even doing a recharge My friend called me up checking if I had tried calling him. He said he received an SMS "Hi, 90xxxxxxxx tried calling you. Please call back." Anyone else noticed this. Is it live only in Mumbai or anywhere else

The GPRS benefit is 500MB/month and all top up provide Full talk time but the differential Talk Time is credited by delay AFAIK. Infact in Rajasthan they are giving 1 GB/month data free. RCOM can't change your tariff for 6 months as they have commited it. Not sure for how may days this offer will continue.

RCOM has launched new SMS pack in Kolkata at Rs. 44 offering 100 SMS/day free valid for 30 days

RCOM has stopped roaming benefits on all their rate cutters I think around a year back. So now whatever benefit they promise it will only work in Home circle.

Info from my inside sources in Reliance - Many old rate cutters are not working as of now with this plan and they are working on a solution for same. Hence for time being they are maintaining that other rate cutters will not work on this.

Same Recharge can be used for different benefit. Its the way retailer sends the details which changes as far as I know. Reliance has been using this funda for few years now. I think for normal voice call & SMS benefit retailer does recharge with denomiation similar to top up but for data benefit he has to use some other code.

add to it the big fat service tax component on the post-paid bill

Need help from experts here. Using a Samsung Corby on RCOM network. How to subscribe to a EVDO data plan and which are the data plan available with reliance. Strange thing is my handset keeps switching between 1x & EVDO depending on network coverage and when I am subscribed to Mobile Net Plan 99 they charge me Pay as you go charge of EVDO apart from the 99 rental.

153 kbps ??? Looks like a 1X offer

RGSM giving extra talk time for WB & Kolkata customers. Top Up 220 - Rs. 240 TT (as usual Rs. 40 has 7 days validity rest does not have any validity) Top Up 550 - Rs. 600 TT (again Rs. 101 has 7 days validity rest does not have any validity)

Reliance has launched a unique service for prepaid customers. Any prepaid Customer can send the keyword "Bill" to the short-code 55333 to get details about the transaction in his account for past 24 Hrs. It gave me some awesome details in a garbled fashion. Now you can know when you were robbed by RCOM under VAS in a Highly transparent fashion.

Did you try sending SMS Bill to 55333 from a Reliance Prepaid Connection?

AFAIK For RCOM GSM Delhi Circle Rs. 32 - Talk Time Rs. 32 (Valid for 3 days) Rs. 64 - Talk Time Rs. 64 (Valid for 7 days) Rs. 110 - Talk Time Rs. 110 (Valid for 15 Days) Rs. 111 - Talk Time Rs. 111 (valid for 30 days) What stupidity Rs. 170 - Talk Time Rs. 170 (Rs. 152 - no validity ; Rs. 18 - 7 days validity) Rs. 301 - Talk Time Rs. 330 (Valid for 30 days) Additionally RCOM CDMA has Rs. 75 - Talk Time Rs. 75 (Rs. 66 - no validity; Rs. 9 - 7 days Validity) Hope this helps You can always call Customer care on 198 to get the info (if they are gracious enough)

Seems to be MNP Effect. Just got to know Reliance is launching an Unlimited R-2-R calling pack in GSM at just49 in Karnataka. Not sure about the validity of the benefit yet.

Launched at 49 in Delhi only for GSM. No Cap as of now.

Nice one .... heard from internal sources that Reliance trying to implement some kind of indication bell when you call any Reliance number so now I guess you won't hear any caller tune as you will hear - First a bell (to indicate its Reliance number) Second a Callertune Promo (press *9 sort of) Third "User is on 3G" notification and if even after this you have patience you will hear his callertune

What about Voda's coverage? As pointed out they went ahead and tried to sell 3G dongles even without any network or any plans to roll it out soon Would rather wait and see their coverage and then jump. Just out of curiosity will this router be locked to Voda network?

Check if you find the pack in the USSD menu *777# on your RGSM. I don't think they have launched self activation else You will have to recharge with 49 from a retailer to get this pack.
