R-connect Charges

[Bobby 0]

Hi!

For those who are confused I wish to put light on Internet charges:

1. Rconnect charges are on prorata basis if you deactivate it.

2. No RConnect charges for Reliance Wireless Phones.

2. Deactivaton cannot be done within 24 hours of activation.

3. Dial *412 for Activation (Mobile)

4. Dial *4120 for Deactivation (Mobile)

5. 40 paise per minute internet charge for Mobile

---Here if you are on the internet for 31 minutes you are charged Rs.12.40ps

---plus one days RConnect charge if you deactivate it (after 24 hours)

6. 10 paise per minute internet charge plus 90 paise or Rs.1 or Rs.1.10 (based on

---Tariff Plan) for 3 minutes (1 pulse) for Fixed Wireless Phones.

7. If you are on the net for 31 minutes using FWP you are charged 31 times 10ps

---and 11 pulses (Rs.1.10 x 11 if under 500 plan)

8. If you are on the net for less than 90 minutes per day on an average then FWP

---is the cheaper option

9. If you are on the net for more than 90 minutes per day on an average then

---mobile is cheaper because Rs.200 per month is fixed whether you sit on the

---net for 8 hours or 1 hour per day.

Lets take charges per 3 minutes :

FWP - 10ps x 3 plus Rs.1.10ps (for 3 mins) = Rs.1.40ps

Mobile - 40ps x 3 plus + Rs. 6.67 (one day RConnect charge)

Here if you are on the net for 1 minute FWP wins.

Infact FWP wins if usage is less than 90 minutes per day.

Now Lets take charges per 90 minutes per day :

FWP - 10ps x 90 plus Rs.1.10ps (for 3 mins) x 30 = Rs.42.00ps

Mobile - 40ps x 90 plus + Rs. 6.67 (one day RConnect charge) = Rs.42.67ps

Till here FWP is cheaper and after this mobile wins.

If I sit on the net for 4 hours today, using Mobile I pay Rs.102 and using FWP I pay Rs.112. Similarly if I sit longer I benifit using Mobile compared to FWP.

[Chirag 5]

No monthly charges if R-Connect was activated before August 15, 2003 !!

Hi guys

i want to know is there any plan for RConnect users

i uses my mobile mostly for net surfing

so i spent a lot of money for bill charges

is reliance has any offer for it

[emmi 3]

No there are no plans for r-connect it comes as a parcel of the calling plan u have opted . i believe ur charges change wrt prepaid / postpaid.

Bobby,

With FWP you can surf internet for Rs.16 per hour in night time where as you will continue to pay Rs.24 with mobile. how about that

On an average people don't wait for the night to connect to internet. Peak Off-Peak- Remember?

So my calculations are for the majority of people.

How abt that?

simply i was thinking that fwt is 24 Rs. per hour for 1500 plan and for mobile you have 24 Rs. per hour plus 200 monthly rental. And if you are heavy users. ur call get deducted from 1500 + ISP charges that is 10 paise per min. and moreover it is 11 Rs. per hour at night after 10:30 so plz tell me if I m wrong when I say FWT is cheaper for high uses ?

[Mahinder 0]

r****er,

yes FWP is cheaper in night time specially for jerks like us who keep surfing net whole night

[Greens 21]

NO, AShok. Rconnect charges are calculated on prorata basis.

Some member has pointed out that the subscription rate is on 'prorata basis' as it was charged like that in his bill (activated after August 2003). This needs to be confirmed as RIM officials say it is a monthly flat fee rental. See this post.

[Ashokjp 15]

I say this confirmed bcz

Last month i used R-Connect for around Rs 30

When Bill came it was billed Rs 100 + this 30 Rs

The only difference now in their billing is the usage and subscription charge

comes as a single amount totalled

Rs 100 - 50% waiver on subscription charge is given to users till Jun 30 th

[amtrag 20]

Ashok,

Rconnect is charged on per session basis i.e. starting from when you dial upto the time when you disconnect...irrespective of the intermediate idle or even 'dormant' periods.

And yes, monthly charge for r-connect mobile users is on prorata basis...my own personal experience.

Charges are waived 100% upto 30 june for users who activated before 15th aug and 50% for those who activated before 30th nov.

[Ashokjp 15]

50% is given even for users who activated on may or june..

This is my experience

[niket 0]

Ashok,

I activated in May. I got 100% waived on monthly rental.. so why don't u get the same.

[Ashokjp 15]

Once in November when i activated i wasnt given subscribption charges but the next month, they did put the charges..

Well i dint get any 100% waiver on May

[Code 0]

I think it is similar to what happens with call conferencing - charges for both the calls

[kshah 452]

I am still not clear from all these posts, R V charged when dormant? on RIM

[ankit 0]

has any body checked the bill for FWP keenly...the reliance despite all its claim bills at full rate even for night hours..always...no noght time special rates...customer service is of no help ...any one of u experiencing the same???

Hi guys

i want to tell that it is confirmed that RConnect subscription chareges are applied on prorata basis

i activated my mobile two months ago

when i received my first bill, it was from 19 may to 25 june

and the RConnect subscription charges were not 400 (because it was bill more than one month, so it should be 200+200 for two months)

but it was 236 approx. (i forgot exact amount, but it was around 236)

so they added 6 days rconnect subscription charges also

therefore if u activate ur mobile as modem by dialling *412 on 27 july

and u deactivate it by dialling *4120 on 29 july

then u'll pay 20 Rs. approx as rconnect subscription charges.

[Vishal Gupta 4]

guys

i received today my second bill

it is from 26/05/05 to 25/06/04

and RConnect subscription charges are 99.38 only

because in the whole month i activated RConnect only when i required.

[emmi 3]

i started using rconnect in march 2004 but i first registered for it in somwhere in may/june 2003. i never got charged for it like 200/100 bucks as u say.

[anujit 0]

yeah as long as you registered before its fine (till 30 June 2004)!
