hi guys, pls advice me some good mobiles for my old parents so that they can see each-others movements/whereabouts,(i will train them how to use it). Oky now the idea is.. my government servant (now retired father); does have a particular habit of not picking up phone , and my mom get too worried about his whereabouts as he have lots of time(after his retirement) and just rome-around a lot. so this is to keep a check on his movements and whereabouts. action plan: A)i will buy two handsets, download and install Google maps on both handsets, create gmail ids for both parents and add them to each other and keep the data on always. B)will buy two docomo prepaid sims get them topped for rs. 95/6gb data on each handset will keep always data on mode. so that live update happen always, i think 6 GB of data should be sufficient for 30 days 24/7, for on mobile gps. C)Seeking advice on: 1.Will my above plan work/solve the purpose. 2.I am seeking advice on how accurate gps/location show-up will be 3.handset suggestion pls. 4.do anyone have/think of anything better plan for this. 5.i know A-GPS will use data, but if i go for TRUE-GPS mobile like NOKIA 5230 will it have any advantage on my purpose. anyways my both parents love this idea. i have planned to buy two NOKIA 5233 from ebay that will cost me around 11k+ free 250 GB hard disk = 11k-2k= effectively a 9k deal. which looks perfect at this moment (though i was looking for some android mobiles , but cant find at this price/value point.) thanks for reading my family saga . and thanks a lot to all rimwebains for their contribution and support.

@raccon> agree @rajan sir will google about it more.. pls gime some lead. @Kamal bhai > thanks

thank you gurus and seniors for advice, rajan sir thanks for your +1, they(my parents) have taken care of me all my life (still caring..), just trying to make it easy for them. @raccoon > i have used DOCOMO in mumbai and its comparatively good(value for money), A_GPS or GPS , not sure which one is better in my case, or will behave same as the accounts will talk to each other for coordinates. @Dhiraj Bhai > without android 2.2 its not value for money (that's what i feel) , with LG optimus and like i will go out of budget. @Karthik > " Friend, I dont think it is possible to keep the Tata Docomo's (or any other in this regard) gprs data active 24x7 for 30 days. It will eventually time out and the data connection will snap. Else one need to keep it frequently refreshed, which can be cumbersome. " .. i think its a valid point > any probable solution for this..

hey saket, i am in mumbai.. can i buy bsnl EVDO or 3G modem/connection ( i will buy it from Pune) and use it in mumbai (do they have roaming charges in Data)

Yes. My sprint 4.5 firmware 8830 WE do the same with my Motorola S705 Stereo bluetooth unit.. till date i havent got a solution.. but u can try .. going to bluetooth> options and try switching either one Headset or Handsfree and go back to device profile refresh services and it might work if not then restart and repair.. this should work with either of the one "Headset" or "Handsfree" if not then check with doc about how to update only bluetooth module in bb88830we..

n bro bb8830 is edge enabled.... Yes it is .. Forum Experts pls confirm with source.. some people get it some not.. Pls elaborate i never understand sm things abt bb... like sm times u can know balance by dialing *123# but most of the time it doesn't work.... why call customer care then conference call *123# u will always get balance info

Get GSM + BIS on this phone, (100% possible) which will be MAX for your phone. I am not on BES/BIS .. but how it is going to change/increase data transfer speed..?? Pls throw some light on this ( and any possible tweak to get maximum possible data transfer speed), which is i believe (theoretical maximum is 473.6 kbit/s) which means > 473.6/8 = 59.2 KB/s.

Online Recharge Hi All, Looking for Feedback / Information/ Links for Reliable / Secure and TESTED sites for online recharge through service provider or from the third party portals. This might also help other users also, as from time to time we can Update / Share our experiences and information. My first experience of online recharge with MTNL Mumbai Link > http://dolphin.mumbai.mtnl.net.in/customercare/trumprecharge.html I logged in through my B8830 using Bolt Browser and did a recharge for Rs. 14 for 03 days unlimited GPRS, the transaction went smooth routed me to my axis bank net banking site and Rs. 14 got deducted from my account. But my Mobile No. never got a recharge or SMS confirming it. When I checked with CC they told be “Sire... You have recharged the GPRS Pack Before activating your GPRS Services; hence you have not got the Benefits,” Checked on Airtel site to get my Rs. 98 GPRS Pack Top up... But it’s not listed there... Or may be I am looking at the wrong place. Link > http://airtel.in/m-commerce/recharge-prepaid.html Looking forward for your experiences …

I try this trick to retrive information .. call customer care... then press call confrence .. and then call *120# it will work... : )

why all nokia mobiles loook like same...

Hi Guys, Suggest me a Cheap (Uim Enabled) CDMA Handset Mainly for Netconnect on reliance...and occasional calls, Branded Prefer ^^

Hey Kunal wats the speed ur getting, i am planning to use it with my BB 8830.

pls provide information source.... CC told me its 2GB (in Mumbai)

in BB 8830 u cant put manual setting for proxy and port etc.. the only thing u can control is ur APN , for airtel i use APN airtelgprs.com and for DOCOMO i use TATA.DOCOMO.INTERNET, and as fas as u mentioned about EDGE i dont tink so that without enabling EDGE on airtel Server one can enjoy benefits of EDGE. I u know more about this pls share..
