Dear Satish, did you purchased the DATA CARD from Reliance Communications Authorised Outlet ? Where did you submitted the documents ? At your local vendor or Reliance Outlet ?

So far the poll statistics shows a moderate usage of DATA on mobile. But I'm sure as soon as 3G will be available throughout India, the figure of Data usage on Mobile will multiply atleast 5 to 7 times. My data usage per month on mobile is 1 to 50 MB on my Vodafone Mobile Connect for checking mails etc. And 51-100 MB on TATA DOCOMO for light surfing with Opera.

^^^ I think its available for Prepaid also.

Did you believe, I'm writing this post right from the Parking Yard of the railway station.

All new telcos have less than 50% active users, finds Trai NEW DELHI: All new telcos who obtained licences under controversial circumstances in 2008 have less than 50% active customers on their networks, indicating that subscribers who opted for their services are either multiple SIM users, or had signed up only for the freebies that came bundled with the start-up kits. Figures released by the telecoms regulator reveal that a mere 25% of S Tel’s customer base are active users, while it is 31% for Uninor and 39% for Videocon. Sistema Shyam has a 46% active users and Etisalat, whose subscriber is under a lakh, has about 43% active users. Even Tatas who launched GSM services last year under the DoCoMo brand has only 46% active customers on this technological platform. This is in sharp contrast to the national average of 70% active users on the operators’ network. Incumbent GSM operators are showing strong numbers on this front – India’s largest telco by both customers and revenues, Bharti Airtel’s has 90% active customers, Idea Cellular at 88%, followed by Vodafone Essar at 75%, Trai’s data adds. “Most of the new operators are in the business of throwing SIMs to collect a customer base and Trai’s data is therefore no surprise. The industry was aware of this,” said BK Syngal, senior principal, Dua Consulting, and former chairman of VSNL. This is also the first time that the telecoms regulator is releasing the percentage of active customers on operators’ networks. Trai calculated these numbers based on the visitor location register (VLR) figures released by all operators on September end. VLR is a temporary database of the subscribers who have roamed into the particular area which it serves. Each base station in the network is served by exactly one VLR, hence a subscriber cannot be present in more than one VLR at a time. Admitting that the ratio of active users on their networks were low, Uninor, in which Norway’s Telenor holds a majority stake, said that high churn and a multi-SIM situation were challenges that a new operator faced. “This is true for every operator that is new in any circle – irrespective of its vintage elsewhere. Our aim continues to be to move towards a primary SIM status, and we have seen encouraging results with our dynamic pricing concept where a customer needs to keep our SIM switched on in the phone to enjoy the benefits of location changing discounts. This is already resulting in improved VLR ratios and good revenue growth,” the company added in its reply to an ET query. The CDMA operations of Reliance Communications and Tata Teleservices score lower on the active customer ratio, at 68 % and 44% respectively, when compared to the incumbent GSM operators. Etisalt and S Tel did not respond to an ET query on this issue. BSNL and Aircel both have 59% active users on their networks. Courtesy : The Economic Times

Vodafone, Bharti, Idea may gain from 2G licence mess NEW DELHI | MUMBAI: Vodafone Group and Bharti Airtel may gain customers because a scandal roiling the world’s second-largest mobile-phone market is pressuring the government to cancel licences issued to smaller carriers, analysts said. Phone users may defect to carriers other than those identified by an audit last month as having fraudulently bought licences in 2008, said Rohit Maheshwari, an analyst at KR Choksey Shares & Securities . Idea Cellular , India’s sixthlargest operator, may also stand to gain for similar reasons, he said. The government said this week it will give the owners of 85 phone permits two months to prove they’re entitled to keep offering services after India’s top auditor found the 2008 sale of licences deprived the treasury of as much as $30 billion. The probe has led to the resignation of the telecommunications minister, A Raja and stalled parliamentary proceedings. “If licenses for some players get cancelled, it would certainly reduce the competitive intensity,” said Mr Maheshwari, who’s based in Mumbai . “We could see their customers shifting to established players like Bharti and Idea, which I feel could add to their profits.” Bharti’s 10% gain since November 16, when the auditor’s report was submitted to parliament, makes it the best-performing stock in the Bombay Stock Exchange’s benchmark Sensitive Index, Sensex. IIFL Capital raised its investment rating on Bharti to “buy” from “reduce” this week, citing easing competition and reduced regulatory uncertainty. India had 687.7 million mobile phone users at the end of September . Bharti leads with 20.8% market share, followed by Reliance Communications’ 17.1%, Vodafone’s 16.8% and Idea with 10.8%. The Comptroller and Auditor General of India said last month that the telecommunications ministry awarded 2G licences to 13 ineligible companies two years ago. Courtesy : The Economic Times

Oppn's role in 2G Spectrum issue unfortunate, says Sharma INDORE: Union Minister Anand Sharma today termed as unfortunate the Opposition's disruption of Parliament proceedings on the alleged 2-G Spectrum scam. "Parliament is the biggest platform for discussion of issues concerning people, and it is unfortunate if the system is not running," he told reporters here. Sharma alleged that the Opposition is not playing a positive role by disrupting Parliament. BJP-led NDA, the Left parties along with the rest of the Opposition, have stalled Parliament proceedings for 16 consecutive working days, demanding a joint parliamentary committee probe in the 2-G scam.

^^^ Oh....I was unaware that CRM can be access through Normal Sim also. The could be related to some settings in your windows mobile then. But I'm not sure.

^^^ My dear friend, I think you will not be able to access the CRM from the normal sim. And in their official sim they must have granted access to crm through Vodafone Live only. Because official CRM is not available for all. Only dealers could be able to access the same.

^^^ Yes my dear friend, very very useful for those who frequently shift there residence or office.

I still hope that MNP will be started in Mumbai on time i.e. 07-12-2010.

Rs.7000/- for Android mobile is really like a steal deal. But then what about the SHAPE...??? Mujhe toh Genius Bhau ki 36-28-24 yaad aa jaati hai. :Sorprendido: :Sorprendido: :Sorprendido: :Sorprendido: :Sorprendido: :Sorprendido: :Sorprendido: :Sorprendido: :Sorprendido: :Sorprendido:

This new browser doesn’t quite have a new “look” (the old one looks good enough!) but Google Chrome Releases claims that the new web browser has a PDF reader built-in and will be the first version capable of using the web app store. The PDF reader works fine, and has 4 tools of viewing the page horizontally or vertically. There are also two more options of zooming in and zooming out of the page. All of them work well, at least in this version. The Chrome web store has only been mentioned and there are no more indications of when exactly can we start using these apps. We’re obviously waiting for the web apps with baited breath. There are also around 800 bugs fixed with the new beta version release. Some of them are mentioned at Google Chrome Releases. You can download the latest version of Google Chrome from here. Do let us know how it's working for you in the comments section below. Courtesy : Tech2

Did the new AVG update kill your Windows 7 ? Many AVG anti-virus owners using 64 -bit Windows 7 woke up to BSoD’s (Blue Screen of Death) after a routine update. Users were required to reboot post installation and after doing so, suffered crashes once their systems started up. AVG has identified the issue and say it is was caused by an incorrectly published CTF file. AVG has pulled the update from the servers and have published a step by step guide on how to get your computer back on track: Step 1: Download AVG’s Rescue CD from here. Step 2: Extract the contents and run setup.exe, when asked for a destination. Select a letter which corresponds to a empty USB drive. Step 3: Once installation is complete, boot the affected computer via the Boot Menu (use F12 to bring up the boot menu and select the USB drive). Step 4: Once the process is complete, it will prompt you to “press any key”. Doing so will fix the problem automatically. After the fix is in, press ‘Enter’ to reboot your computer. Step 5: After your computer boots to the desktop and the AVG program is in a error state, download the latest installation file and select the repair option. Some users have complained that the solution given above didn’t work for them and that they still face the Blue Screens. If you are one of the unlucky ones, there is another solution that's been posted at the AVG forums. Courtesy : Tech2
