Baap of LTE phones... check out LeEco Le1s' specsheet

Tata does not many voice customers so they can easily ask them to migrate to GSM. And data users (=Photon+) can be given option to upgrade device for 4G data. But only problem is Tata does not have 5Mhz spectrum in most circles.

Yes, RCOM is shifted most of the traffic to MTS network as they are testing LTE on their own 850 Mhz.

I tried everything, but on Status section, I can see 'data - connecting' One of the reason I am thinking of, as MEID shows 000000000. Is it MTS ruim problem?

To those are regular R-CDMA customers: When you get the 4G SIM, your old RUIM is collected by the store or not? Now you get 4G SIM, is it activated? I mean until 4G comes, can you make calls and texts with the 4G SIM ? Last day I had chat with Reliance CC on their InstaCare app 1. 4G SIM price - Rs 25 2. pre migration offer - 150 min for local and std calls and unlimited all india R2R calls and 1GB data (that will work on EVDO) for 30 days. Post migration offer - 10GB data + voice offer can be carried forward. That comes with Rs 45 RC. 3. Cant comment on 4G regular plans.

Hi, Just a thought. Since Jio works on band 3 as indicated above, what if a Volte phone works only on band 3 & band 5. Should it not be enough if someone wants to stay on in the Rcom-Jio partnership. For this band 40 support would not be necessary, would it? Quite right. But as we can see Jio's initial launches are all on 2300MHz. And Rcom is coming up with 800MHz LTE. Rather there is no update regarding Jio-RCom's 1800MHz spectrum sharing yet now.

So far I have not received "SIM is now ready for upgrade" SMS in my Kolkata number. Got SMS in my Delhi number. So, I think Kolkata is yet to start. DoT approved Jio-Rcom 800MHz spectrum sharing in 9 circles - Kolkata is not one of them. But Rcom will launch LTE in Kolkata, as Jio does not have 800MHz in Kolkata. So Rcom don't need sharing deal to launch 4G in Kolkata.

When I put the Reliance/MTS RUIM on it, it detects first and network appears - upper evdo and lower 1x - full towers. Voice and text works fine, out of the box. Updated and restarted thrice - data is yet to be started !!

It seems nobody from Kolkata using R-CDMA. However I have a RUIM, previously used by my brother for texting purpose. I kept it live by using 3x data in regular intervals. I am yet to get a Reliance 4G smart SIM, visited two stores but all in vain. In my locality the lady at the counter says that SIM cards will be started selling from May 8 and upgradation is going on in Kolkata. She does not know about the pricing but she might need the documents for new SIM.

Received RN3 2Gi/16Gi yesterday. Connected over WiFi and Google Account synced, play store worked fine. Put MTS/Reliance RUIM - voice and text worked smoothly, but data is not working. I am not sure whether I have to put the APN manually. On my HTC 510 I don't need to put data setting manually, data gets on by tapping 'mobile data'. Any help ?

Rcom has launched 4G MiFi devices. Available on shop.rcom.co.in as 4G MiFi WD670 at Rs 2699. Though shipping will be after 30 June 2016 Supports LTE FDD B3/B5, LTE TDD B40 http://shop.rcom.co.in/wipods/81-4g-mifi-wd670.html

Just received a txt on my Reliance CDMA prepaid no, which already has been registered for 4G upgrade. When I got the text, Ruim was on my basic handset. The message says: Switch over to MTS network and enjoy seamless coverage accompanying the best customer friendly service. Kindly visit your nearest MTS store today. Hurry!! does it mean Rcom wants to shut down its cdma business, and use its own 800mhz for LTE and mts' spectrum for cdma?

Airtel is now definitely better placed in the 4G space. Drawing parallels between Reliance Jio's current playbook and Reliance Communications' 2003 launch, Deutsche Bank Markets Research has said Bharti Airtel appears to be better prepared with its 4G plans and it does not anticipate any impact on its revenue share or margins from the Jio launch. "There are parallels between Jio's current playbook and Reliance Communications' launch in 2003; the executive management is the same in both instances. Reliance Communications' pan-India launch was on a scale comparable to that of the incumbents and it surpassed Bharti's voice throughout within three years," the research report said in New Delhi on Wednesday. "However, Bharti's revenue share and margins were not affected by its entry. Bharti appears better prepared this time and, contrary to investor expectations, we do not anticipate any impact on its rev-share or margins from Jio's launch. We believe Bharti's business performance is poised for multi-year improvement," it added. Reliance Jio's full commercial launch is expected by December this year. The continuity in Bharti's management and the lessons learnt post Reliance Communications' launch in 2003 have likely helped it to anticipate Jio's strategy this time around. "Bharti has been strategic in acquiring the largest amount of incremental spectrum since 2014. This has helped it to pre-empt Jio by launching 4G on a pan-India basis and increase the competitive gap with incumbent peers, which remain spectrum constrained in their key markets," Deutsche Bank Market Research stated. It said Jio will impact data yields but not the revenue table of the sector. "We expect data yield to fall 20 percent per annum for next three years to reach Rs. 0.12 per MB compared to the current level of Rs. 0.24 per MB. However, we believe Jio will not affect package pricing - it is likely to offer more data at existing price points." The report said: "Bharti rev-share and margins are unlikely to be affected by Jio's launch. Weaker players that have a combined 25 percent revenue share are more at risk." "We forecast three-year revenue growth of 12 percent and an EBIDTA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) margin of around 38 percent for Bharti's domestic mobile business. Bharti's next phase (revival) should be marked by a better competitive position in India and recalibration of international ops, which should support multi-year stock performance," it added.

See I grabbed RN3 because I use 2 CDMA connections - mts and r-cdma. I hv another 2 gsm connections - idea and tata docomo. Gsm ones are put on gionee d1 and mts is used on htc desire 510. while I am betting on R-cdma/4G800 for RN3. I don't think 3Gb/2Gb does really make sense to me. lenovo k4 does not come into my plan.

anyway 16Gb was easy to grab, even on Amazon too! On mi.com paying by Card did not work, ordered one 2Gi/16Gi for 9999! Hence COD to opt for!

today 32Gb was on sale, but gone in seconds!!

Since yesterday R-CDMA voice network is not working properly. Many times calls are missed, lost, dismissed or disconnected. Though Evdo Rev A data working fine on my RUIM on htc 510. In Kolkata, I guess trials are on full swing!!

I think at this Redmi Note 3 or Mi5 comes as the saviour as both supports cdma, gsm and Lte (800/1800/2300). FYI from yesterday calling from r-Cdma often gets lost, but evdo rev a data working fine.

I just got a gift from my brother - Brainwavz Omega earphone with mic. The earphone works good on my HTC 510( imported Boost Mobile version) but on my Gionee Dream D1 I can hear the vocals of the song very softly, but music part comes like wise Htc. any help on this regards?

Yes Xiaomi intentionally makes RN3 32Gi version 'sold' to push Mi5 sale !!

Bit Off Topic: Airtel to buy Aircel's 2300MHz spectrum in 8 circles. Check the latest map and chart : http://drrdb.blogspot.in/2016/04/bharti-airtels-4g-spectrum-details.html

Sorry to ask OFF TOPIC I just found that previous username and password (10 digit MDN & net) is not working with my Reliance CDMA RUIM when tried via AC2766 modem. Though data works on my HTC 510 smartphone!! Any idea ?

Storage space is running out - I am in hell with this problem on my both phones - Gionee Dream D1 and HTC Desire 510. So I am looking for a Cdma handset with internal memory of 16GB, RAM 1-1.5GB for the range of upto 12,000. please suggest a cdma ph, even imported ones will work

I am using a HTC 510. Such problems were not faced by me with mts. Even 1x data worked. However last month when I was from Chennai to Pondicherry, EVDO data working but no call could be mad in the middle of journey. But once I reached pondi, it got solved automatically.
