I use IE 8, IE 9beta, FF and Chrome. My experience with these are FF is the best, IE 9 although it claims to be the fastest, is actually the slowest. Chrome is good but my Dena Bank pages do not open. IE 8 is OK OK...

Exceptions are always there. Even BSNL does not pay up is what I will say...

Jokes apart, what I wanted to convey was that the effort to recover less than Rs 1000 (compared to the efforts that are required) from RCOM is a sheer waste not only for a Amdavadi but also for everyone else. The net result will be you will recover the money, but also spend so much time, energy, health etc for the recovery and this will cost much more. I am speaking from my over 7+ years experience with RCOM, other's experiences may be very different. The above holds good for not only RCOM, but even other cellcos / telcos companies.

@dr Since you have already terminated your account, and if the amount is more than a 4 figure amount, then pursue the matter, if it is below Rs 1000 or so, then the amount of money spent on fuel, time, energy is a sheer waste. Alongwith the above email IDs mentioned by Arun, also send one detailed email to contact.chairman'soffice@relianceada.com. The email ID is exactly as I have mentioned.

Great One, Kunal.... Had a good sunday morning laughing

Wowieeeeeeeeeee Great News As if we did not know all along that this was a farcical exercise being carried out..... Let us all enjoy without MNP and if at all it comes, mark my words, the conditions will be such that MNP will be a super duper flop

@Kunal, In my case, Sex is a Noun and not a verb... So thats why it is not showing asterisks in between.

*1# works only for the newer operators like RGSM, TDCM, Videocon, Uninor etc

A businessman was deep in debt and could see no way out. Creditors were closing in on him. Suppliers were demanding payment. He sat on the park bench, head in hands, wondering if anything could save his company from bankruptcy. Suddenly an old man appeared before him. "I can see that something is troubling you," he said. After listening to the executive's woes, the old man said, "I believe I can help you." He asked the man his name, wrote out a check, and pushed it into his hand saying, "Take this money. Meet me here exactly one year from today, and you can pay me back at that time." Then he turned and disappeared as quickly as he had come. The business executive saw in his hand a check for $500,000, signed by John D. Rockefeller, then one of the richest men in the world! "I can erase my money worries in an instant!" he realized. But instead, the executive decided to put the uncashed check in his safe. Just knowing it was there might give him the strength to work out a way to save his business, he thought. With renewed optimism, he negotiated better deals and extended terms of payment. He closed several big sales. Within a few months, he was out of debt and making money once again. Exactly one year later, he returned to the park with the uncashed check. At the agreed-upon time, the old man appeared. But just as the executive was about to hand back the check and share his success story, a nurse came running up and grabbed the old man. "I'm so glad I caught him!" she cried. "I hope he hasn't been bothering you. He's always escaping from the rest home and telling people he's John D. Rockefeller. " And she led the old man away by the arm. The astonished executive just stood there, stunned. All year long he'd been wheeling and dealing, buying and selling, convinced he had half a million dollars behind him. Suddenly, he realized that it wasn't the money, real or imagined, that had turned his life around. It was his new found self-confidence that gave him the power to achieve anything he went after.

Well Raccoon, your case is indeed sad. Here in Chennai, RGSM has improved by leaps and bounds. I had travelled to many places in the last 4 months and in all places, the network was reasonably to very good always. And also the GPRS speeds were extremely better than even Voda and Airtel across Delhi, Haryana(parts), Punjab(parts), HP (almost 90% of all places) and Chandigarh. Anyway, it appears some mole of RCOM may be reading all your raves and rants against RCOM and is trying to harass you further. (ha Ha ha ha) It is not funny, but then so what. Another thing from the CM's sppech today - they have invested around Rs 30k crore in the last 3 years towards network strengthening and this year the budget is only Rs 3k crore. So in that case, you will not see any dramatic improvement in network in your place, unless some major miracle takes place. You may junk your RGSM safely and come back if at all in future, it improves.

Everybody I know who has a dog usually calls him"Rover" or "Spot." I call mine Sex. Now, Sex has been very embarrassing to me. When I went to the City Hall to renew the dog's license, I told the clerk that I would like a license for Sex. He said, "I would like to have one too!" Then I said, "But she is a dog!" He said he didn't care what she looked like. I said, "You don't understand ...I have had Sex since I was nine years old." He replied, "You must have been quite a strong boy." When I decided to get married, I told the minister that I would like to have Sex at the wedding. He told me to wait until after the wedding was over. I said, "But Sex has played a big part in my life and my whole world revolves around Sex. " He said he didn't want to hear about my personal life and would not marry us in his church. I told him everyone would enjoy having Sex at the wedding. The next day we were married at the Justice of the Peace. My family is barred from the church from then on. When my wife and I went on our honeymoon, I took the dog with me. When we checked into the motel, I told the clerk that I wanted a room for me and my wife and a special room for Sex. He said that every room in the motel is a place for sex. I said, "You don't understand. Sex keeps me awake at night." The clerk said, "Me too!" One day I entered Sex in a contest. But before the competition began, the dog ran away. Another contestant asked me why I was just looking around. I told him that I was going to have Sex in the contest. He said that I should have sold my own tickets. "You don't understand," I said, "I hoped to have Sex on TV. " He called me a show off. When my wife and I separated, we went to court to fight for custody of the dog. I said, "Your Honor, I had Sex before I was married but Sex left me after I was married." The Judge said, "Me too!" Last night Sex ran off again. I spent hours looking all over for her. A cop came over and asked me what I was doing in the alley at 4 o'clock in the morning. I said, "I'm looking for Sex." My case comes up next Thursday. Well now I've been thrown in jail, been divorced and had more troubles with that dog than I ever foresaw. Why just the other day when I went for my first session with the psychiatrist, she asked me, "What seems to be the trouble?" I replied, "Sex has been my best friend all my life but now it has left me for ever. I couldn't live any longer so lonely." And the doctor said, "Look, mister, you should understand that sex isn't a man's best friend, so get yourself a dog."

Source Ban Extended till Sept 29. But why extend it? Instead they can postpone the ban from say Sept 26 to Sept 29 or so....

I do not think CC in either Airtel or RCOM will entertain your complaint. Both will pass the buck saying the problem is in the other. IMHO, it is better to raise an email complaint to CMO or the nodal officer or through myservices portal of RCOM.

No problems for me with any Airtel numbers, I tested it from my RGSM to my Airtel, Voda numbers. It works extremely well and instantly also. Further unlike RCDMA where you get del reports instantly whether the opposite party has received the SMS or not, here in RGSM - the case is just like with the GSM Gangsters' - you get the del reports only if the opp party has received it. This also was checked by me with my Airtel and Voda numbers from my RGSM. Maybe the Airtel number you are sending to may have some problem. Check with the other party if he is receiving any SMS from others. With almost all the Ex AirHell guys in RCOM now, I do not think this could happen. It may happen the other way around, but even that is a remote possibility.

Three cricket fans were on their way to a game when one noticed a foot sticking out of the bushes by the side of the road. They stopped and discovered a nude female dead drunk. Out of respect and propriety, the Sri Lankan team's fan took off his cap and placed it over her right breast. The Indian fan took off his cap and placed it over her left breast. Following their lead, the Pakistani fan took off his cap and placed it over her private area. The police were called and when the officer arrived, he conducted his inspection. First, he lifted up the Sri Lankan cap, replaced it, and wrote down some notes. Next, he lifted the Indian cap, replaced it, and wrote down some more notes. The officer then lifted the Pakistani cap, replaced it, then lifted it again, replaced it, lifted it a third time, and replaced it one last time. The Pakistani fan was getting upset and finally asked "What are you, a pervert or something? Why do you keep lifting and looking, lifting and looking?" "Well," said the officer. "I am simply surprised. Normally when I look under a Pakistani hat, I find an *** hole!"

great ones, rajan..... given +1 to many

You may be right, but then these plans are outrageous to say the least..... The Airhell guys have started screwing the company left right and center, they will leave only after accomplishing their task of making RCOM the last telecom company from their 2nd position. These Airhell guys may be getting salaries from both Airhell and from RCOM and they are thus making merry at RCOMs expense. Hope Ambani sees the reality and sacks the Airhell guys immediately and saves his company from total disaster... The above Phoron 5 is also available in Chennai since the last 10 days atleast, no idea about the RoI... maybe it is a soft launch and they did not advertise about it at all.... And please change the title of this topic to "PHORON 5", it is misleading....

Terrific ones, rajan mehta!!!! Had a good Keep them coming.....

good one....

ami1 for a terrific post, makes very hilarious reading that..... +1 to kshah and you for that

NEW DELHI: Telecom service providers reported around 2,150 cases of misuse of mobile cloning in different parts of the country during 2009-2010, Telecom Minister A Raja has told Rajya Sabha. "The government has come to know through telecom service providers that approximately 2,150 cases of misuse of mobile cloning through duplication of subscriber identity in different parts of country have come to their notice during 2009-10," said Raja in the statement. Mobile cloning refers to the act of copying the identity of one mobile telephone to another. Subscriber identity can be cloned by the use of digital data interpreters (DDI). DDI are devices manufactured to intercept electronic serial number (ESN). A hacker monitoring the radio wave transmission from the cellphones of legitimate subscribers can capture (ESN) without the knowledge of the subscriber. Any call made to the cloned phone are billed and traced to a legitimate phone account. An individual thus ends up with unexpected monthly phone bills. Though the process of cloning subscriber identity is a tedious task owing to the encryption mechanism used in mobile network, the government has stepped up monitoring through its fields units, the telecom enforcement, resource and monitoring (TERM) cells.

From the 1st post, So it is surely GSM and not CDMA

I have been having the most problems with BSNL in the last 3 to 4 months for both my connections. I am totally fed up with their services and want to quit altogether. The only point holding me back is the LL which I have been having for almost 20 years. I know I can surrender only the BB services, but I am fed up with BSNL. The speeds are not available and every 15 to 20 minutes, there is a disruption in BB services and we have to reset the modem or pull out and re-insert the phone line jack into the modem. This last advise was given to me by the BSNL linesmen. Again after another 20 minutes, the same procedure has to be followed. It is highly irritating. Can anyone suggest an alternative ISP? My current plans with BSNL are Plan 600 2mbps, 2.5GB d/l, and Rs 250 free TT) in one line and in the other line, the plan is Rs 750 512 kbps, UL d/l, zero free TT). Airtel is very costly, if I am not wrong. Another negative is they charge for Wifi modem extra at Rs 1000 or Rs 100 per month or so. I was very happy with BSNL services for the last 3 years, but all that has come to nought in the last 3 to 4 months.
