I am from Chennai. Recd msg from Rcom "We will be closing Reliance Network any moment. Visit nearest web world to upgrade". I called Customer Service team and the gentleman said, I need to upgrade to 4G failing which my number would be disconnected and that I would lose my number for ever. If I do my 22nd, I will continue to be in same tariff (50 p per minute).
I connected with Reliance through Chat. This person has no clue on the date in which CDMA would stop. He says if I don't port before network shuts down, my number would simply stop working, but upon getting new SIM I can retain same number. When asked about tariff, he said only GSM tariff would be applicable and existing CDMA tariff would cease. Consolation prize is my balance would get carried to GSM.
