Honest

@saugatadc My dear friend, you are 100% right that this facility is available with TATA, i do agree. But as the starter of this thread has posted the thread in Reliance Mobile / Reliance Hello Discussion > Reliance Mobile World / R World forum, so it clearly represents that he is querrying about the Reliance network and not of any other service provider. As their is no such kind of service available with Reliance till date. Thats why I answered his query in a BIG "NO". Anyways, your comments can be very useful to many TATA subscribers. As many of them don't know about this service availability in TATA. But after reading your post they will surely get benefitted. And obviously I'm eagerly waiting for the same service to be started by Reliance also. Lets wait for the best to happen in Reliance also. Regards.

^^^ My dear friends, its truely said that service providers in other sectors like POWER, GAS & WATER doesn't charge extra for the hard copies of the bills, then what the hell these crazy cell operators trying to do. They had already dugged a deep hole in our pockets, and now they even can't manage to send the hard copies of the bills to their customers. Only God knows, when did this greed of the cell operators come to an end. It seems they are going NUTS now a days. Regards.

^^^ Seems to be a good news for Airtel subscribers my dear friends. Hope other operators also start the same service soon. Regards.

^^^ Thats a great step taken by TRAI, my dear friends. These specifications must be mentioned clearly by the service providers while specifying the minimum speed of the plan so that innocent subscribers get the true information. Regards.

^^^ No exact idea about the pricing and availability on cdma rcom mobiles, my dear Kumaar. I think it must depends on the file size that we download to view the serials and can include some fix charges for a particular serial also. Hope that all the information may be available soon. I will update as I get the latest information. Regards.

^^^ My dear friends, I think now its turn for the Rs.480/- Monsoon Hungama scheme. (Like Rs.501/- monsoon hungama scheme) This will be beneficial to many. Regards.

^^^ Thats a good news for Airtel users my dear friends. Regards.

^^^ @rakesh MY dear friend, the simple answer to your query is NO. You can't check the details of your calls for your prepaid connection through internet. Regards.

@srikanth My dear friend, all second hand mobiles which are available in the markets are not stolen mobiles. I do agree that some of them can be. But this does not mean one should not buy a second hand mobile. One must by the second hand stuff from the reputed shops or known persons only. I don't think their is any harm in purhcasing a second hand mobile. Regards.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008 to all my dear Rimwebians. May you all achieve your GOALS in this year. GOD BLESS YOU ALL !

^^^ @weirdo MY dear friend, as Hetal above also told, you deserve this feature and if they are unable to help you out in this matter then you must slap the court case on them. Regards.

Google Intros Maps for Mobile v2.0 Google has released version 2.0 of 'Google Maps for mobile', its innovative mobile mapping- and local search- application. And, Google Maps for mobile v2.0 is a beta version of the Google "My Location" technology that uses cell tower ID information to provide users with their approximate location, thus helping them determine where they are, what's around them, and how to get there. GPS technology is the most common source of location information till date. But, it is supported on less than 15 percent mobile phones sold today. Google's "My Location" technology is such that users who don't have GPS-enabled mobile phones, will also be able to get the benefit of location information. "My Location" technology is claimed to be faster than GPS; besides being able to cover the inside of buildings unlike GPS; and results in slower drainage of batteries vis-a-vis GPS. How "My Location" works is by taking information broadcast from cell towers, and sifting through it using Google's algorithms to estimate a user's current location on the map. The "My Location" feature can be disabled if not required. "My Location" technology is available on most smart phones; including all color BlackBerry devices, all Symbian Series 60 3rd Edition devices, most Windows Mobile devices, newer Sony Ericsson devices, and some Motorola devices. Google Maps for mobile with "My Location" can be downloaded by pointing one's mobile or desktop Web browser to www.google.com/gmm. The full range of mobile products/services available from Google is viewable at mobile.google.com. Meanwhile, 'Google Maps for mobile' was first launched in the US in November 2005, and enables users to view interactive maps and satellite imagery, find local businesses, get point-to-point driving directions, and view live traffic updates -- all -- while on the go.

^^^ @taliyan My dear friend, if your main purpose is to use only rconnect through your mobile then their is no need to purchase the new handset. You can search for the old handsets easily available in the markets at approximately 400-500 only. Regards.

@Arun Yes my dear friend, you are 100% right, that Local Repair Shops would be good for Minor Repairs but for Major Repair work one should approach the service centre only. @amtrag Yes my dear friends, I too feel that LG service centre is 100% better than the NOKIA service centres. Their are many complaints for Nokia service centre even in our beloved forum also. Regards.
