The BSNL Rs 339 offer looks attractive but has the following caveats. 1. BSNL data is 3G (only in major towns and cities) or 2G and not 4G like Jio 2. You are still charged heavily for outgoing calls on roaming (unlike Jio) 3. FUP is a limitation (25 min a day to other operator networks) and not "unlimited" in the real sense compared to Jio But, you need not cough up Rs 149 onwards a month to keep your SIM calling unblocked, unlike Jio

Just for clarification: Do we need to have a handset with LTE band 5 (850mhz) or LTE band 20(800 mhz)? I find different members quoting different mhz values. Thank in advance.

Dono bhaiyon ke dukaaney alag alag hongey; daam bhi alag hongey, magar network ek hi hoga.

The messages everyone received does not say that 4G (LTE) is activated. It just says that now you need to shift to a GSM handset to keep getting network as CDMA will not work for your number anymore. 4G activation may happen in due course.

Got this message below (image) today evening in Hyderabad.

I did a Rs 93 recharge on Freecharge website, without browsing the voucher list. Got the 4G upgrade message from Reliance. This is from Andhra Pradesh circle.

"Upgrade" to 4G using Rs.93 downgraded my pre-paid plan from Lifetime voice 50p/min to voice 2p/sec. Waiting for 4G activation now and don't know what kinds of plans await us.

Got a 4G sim in Hyderabad free of cost on providing CDMA number, from Reliance mobile store. Though they told me that activation may happen by 20th May, they were not sure.

How many of these support VoLTE? Above mentioned Samsung phones, Oppo F1, iPhone 6 onwards support VoLTE. In addition, Lyf phones are there of course.

Some of the handsets that have LTE Band 5 (850 mhz) as well as Band 40 (2300 mhz) are Samsung Galaxy J7 Samsung Galaxy J5 Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (N910G) Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Oppo F1 Honor 5x iPhone 5s iPhone 6 iPhone 6 plus iPhone SE Samsung Galaxy S6 These handsets also have Band 3 (1800 mhz) used by other service providers in India.

The newly launched N919D Dual SIM (GSM+CDMA) from ZTE may be a good option [1.2GHz quad-core Cortex-A5 based Qualcomm Snapdragon, 1GB of RAM, 4 GB internal storage, expandable to 32 GB by microSDHC card, 8MP rear camera with flash, 0.3MP front camera, Jellybean (Android 4.1), 5-inch display with a FWVGA (480x854 pixel) resolution, 2500mAh battery] for Rs. 6999. Features are decent for a CDMA phone The phone is exclusively available on e-bay with 3 months unlimited Reliance CDMA data for both existing and new users. Worth trying if meets the need and the budget. Here is the link on e-bay.
