Have any of you tried sending START to 1925?

What will happen to us ZeroPlan folk?

4G launch and CDMA outage are two different things. CDMA shutting down may happen in the next week but the 4G launch will happen later only. Just like other circles like NCR, CDMA is shut but 4G services haven't started either.

Airtel is still decently reliable in my opinion. Though the network is slightly weak in Vizag, even though it isn't that bad..

True but CDMA was always a more efficient network. Wonder how Band 5 (850 Mhz) will perform though.

Don't call CC. Just go to a store. We took a new 4G SIM for my friend's dongle yesterday. They didn't give a compatible USB dongle though.

The RCOM 4G SIM needs to be patched anyway. It causes problems in some handsets and not in others. I suggest you visit your nearest store and get it patched. Or, you may get a new one issued from RCOM, which doesn't need the said patches.

I got it from Kota. I don't know about Jaipur but I'm guessing it should be available.

Got the SIM today and sent the message. Still on CDMA as of now.

I don't think it is supposed to show IMEI when in CDMA mode. This is what inconsistently works for me: 1. Put the phone in airplane mode with RUIM in the phone 2. Restart the phone 3. Wait for 5 mins after it has started up 4. Remove Airplane mode 5. Wait for 10-15 mins and the network should show up Hope this helps!

Would advise you to change your SIM instead of just patching. Old SIMs have difficulty re-connecting to network at times (even after the patch).

I would keep away from LYF handsets.Got myself a Redmi Note 3 instead. I saw a friend's handset and it was just plain bad quality stuff. The advantage is that they are giving quick updates though.

4G upgrade notification SMS arrived in Rajasthan circle today.

So, while we wait for Reliance to upgrade us all to 4G and GSM networks, many of us will want to change to a VoLTE enabled device like a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 or a Mi5. The good news is that these support CDMA but the bad news is that they have some small problems that are annoying at times. So, let's just do a quick run down of the problems we face when using foreign handsets on CDMA: 1. +91xxxxxxxxxx prefixed numbers don't dial. You need to prefix with zero and change your entire address book and it's a pain in the a**! 2. Call Conference. The merge option doesn't work. Solution: 1. For +91 prefixes: Download an app in the Play Store called Prefixer (HERE). Now create a new rule. Fill up the data in the fields as follows: What this does is that it just modifies the number on the fly and dials it without the _91 prefix. It does not alter your address book. 2. For call conference: This is simple, after you have made the calls to the two parties, just go to the dialer, through the contacts app - press digit 3 and dial it. This should join the call for you. I know these are very first world problems and most people won't even think they are problems to begin with but this helped me, so I thought I'd share. Hope this helps.

Are you getting 4G signals with this thing?

Working perfect for me. Added a guide to the forum regarding +91 prefixes: Hope this helps.

Isn't that actually a bad thing? What if you are on roaming?

Will they start putting limits on Zero plan?

ANy of you guys doing this in Rajasthan?

Any word on when this will be done in Rajasthan?

Any word on Rajasthan circle?

I had this phone and sold it to an uncle. He seems to have no issues. He's using RUIM only. Calls on 1x are working for him as well. Haven't tried GSM.

Any of you guys tried RGE SIM with this?

Figured it out. Changed the country in "Smart Dialing" to USA. Now it works fine.

Ok, this is slightly odd. I am now able to use data on my Q10 using an RECRUC068 series RUIM from Reliance. But when I send SMS, I get error 107. I am able to text to short codes like 55444, etc., but not phone numbers. I tried with prefixing +91, without prefixing anything, and prefixing 0. I still get error 107 when texting phone numbers. Anyone have any ideas?
