Airtel 3G Mobile Services Now In Chennai & Coimbatore, Voice and SMS At 2G Rates source :: http://telecomtalk.info/airtel-3g-mobile-services-now-in-chennai-voice-and-sms-at-2g-rates/55058/

Data Roadmap 1x --> EVDO Rev. 0 --> EVDO Rev. A(VORA) --> EVDO Rev. B(VORB) Voice Roadmap 1x --> 1X advanced In single antenna handsets, either Data carrier or Voice carrier can only be active. SVDO:: In Dual antenna handsets, it's possible to access both carriers simultaneously and that method is called SVDO. VORA/VORB:: Voice over EVDO. It's basically layering voice inside data channel similar to VoIP. Since voice & data are moving in same carrier, this can work in single antenna handsets without need of accessing 1x voice carrier. DO-Advanced:: It's an upgrade which can be applied either on EVDO Rev. A or EVDO Rev. B to improve the respective performances.

2G scam: CPI backs down on JPC demand source :: http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/2g-scam-cpi-backs-down-on-jpc-demand-81029 Let us sincerely hope that better sense will prevail upon the rest of opposition. It's duty of each political party to allow parliament to work which in turn will allow democracy to work. Already this virus of holding parliament has crept into the state assembly of Karnataka. We don't know how many more state legislatures will get infected by this virus in future. Let us not forget this virus has potent to paralyze the entire democracy. We sincerely appeal to the virus breeders like Jaitley, Swaraj & Gadkari to park their egos and come back to make democracy work in a meaningful manner.

I completely agree with you Rajan. The article title by TelecomTalk is misleading. Let us hope it's just unintentional. The public website of the MNP operator is completely shielded away from the actual MNP system which is MNP operator's private n/w. Although this attack is not good advertisement for Telcordia but actual MNP process and activities will get least affected by attack on the less secure public information web page.

@Kanaga, sorry to say that you may not get reply due to following news.....

BlackBerry Style CDMA Smartphone Gears Up for India Release source :: http://www.gizmocrave.com/4434-smartphone-blackberry-style-cdma-smartphone-gears-up-for-india-release-soon/ Actual blackberry USA site shows this phone as GSM.

Just forget about what it means where completely. For this topic, what is needed is clearly mentioned in the first post.

Hero Plus B519 looks like non-OMH phone. TATA zone programmed into handset.

Tariff flexibility is similar to BSNL & RCOM without any useless bundling with voice. But with such ridiculous tariff, 3G is never going to reach masses. Official Link http://www.airtel.in/Airtel-3G/tariff_chart.html It's time to compare base/Pay as you Go tariff of different operators. BSNL -- 1p/10 KB (approx. Rs.1/MB) TATA Docomo -- 1p/KB (approx. Rs. 10/MB) RCOM -- 10p/10 KB (approx. Rs. 10/MB) Airtel -- 30p/20 KB (approx. Rs. 15/MB) PS:: Due to launch of 3G, now all operators have same base tariff for both EDGE and 3G. It shows Airtel never learns from its mistakes. Most ridiculous part is even EDGE/GPRS is charged at Rs. 15/MB on base in Airtel. Over the free quota charge on postpaid packs. BSNL -- 1p/10 KB (approx. Rs. 1/MB) TATA Docomo -- 1p/10 KB (approx. Rs. 1/MB) RCOM -- 2p/10KB (on < 1 GB packs) and 1p/10 KB (on >= 1GB packs) (approx. Rs. 2/1 MB) Airtel -- 30p/20 KB (approx. Rs. 15/MB) Again utter foolishness.......

Reliance Launches 3G Mobile Services in Jammu and Kashmir source :: http://telecomtalk.info/reliance-launches-3g-mobile-services-in-jammu-and-kashmir/54840/ There's no information about list of J&K cities/towns covered by Reliance 3G.

DoT clarifies that any upgradation to the site either HW or SW will require fresh certification. Fresh certification has to be submitted within 2 weeks of upgradation. After fresh certification, TERM cell may test the site if it felt necessary. http://dot.gov.in/as/2010/as_10.12.2010-3.pdf

Now, 'Aadhaar'(India's Unique Identification) can be used as PoI(proof of identification) & PoA (proof of address). http://dot.gov.in/as/2011/as_14.01.2011.pdf :clap: :clap:

Please read the post carefully. China Telecom bound dual mode phones are only DualStandby Dualmode2G + 3G in CDMA only and not Dualmode3G. Motorola Glam is also similar type and not Dualmode3G. Hence it'll not be a member in this list.

For sure.....DualMode3G + DualStandby is still a dream......

Dear Rajan, Kindly correct the following in the FAQ 'The unique porting code will be valid only for 24 hours so submit the documents to operator of your choice within this time frame' According to TRAI, 'the Unique Porting Code allocated to a subscriber shall be valid for a period of fifteen days from the date of request or such time till the number is ported out, whichever is earlier, for all service areas except Jammu & Kashmir, Assam and North East licensed areas where the validity for the Unique Porting Code allocated to a subscriber shall be valid for a period of thirty days from the date of request or till such time the number is ported out, which ever is earlier, irrespective of. number of requests the subscriber makes' http://www.trai.gov.in/WriteReadData/trai/upload/Directives/139/Direction10feb10.pdf http://www.trai.gov.in/MNDivregulationsordersdir.asp

Really a fantastic change. Now they allow mobile tethering with these packs. http://www.tataindicom.com/tatazone-internet-pack.aspx :clap: :clap: PS:: Due to oversight still they've not deleted "3. The internet usage with the pack corresponds to only the services offered on WAP and BREW platforms and not for offline internet usage i.e. usage of handset as modem." from Terms & Conditions. Hope they rectify it to avoid confusion.
