Now its time to just wait for further Notice. Regards, Zaran Dhulla Even I have seen this news. But it is talking about the nationwide launch, even Anil Ambani has mentioned about the nationwide launch only in June 2009. The current GSM launch is only for 11,000 towns and few villages without covering railway-tracks or highways. So the new brand or the new price plans will be available very soon across all the circles. Edited January 1, 2009 by saketsamir Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dhullazaran 3 Report post Posted January 1, 2009 I just visited Relaince outlet in Mumbai and asked him about the Launch of GSM, and he showed me the mail received from Reliance stating:- * GSM will Launch within 2/3 Days. * The connection will be test sim cards. * There will be some lack of services. * They say that it will be billing(Postpaid), but when this Reliance dealer got training at that time they said that it will be prepaid. Things are still not clear regarding this. So people lets hope that, if we take this information as true then by Monday i.e. 5th Jan 2009. GSM will get launched. Do let me know if any update about the same. Thanks & Regards, Zaran Dhulla Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sadikk 301 Report post Posted January 1, 2009 Well as i believe they will be rolling service really slow, as they have to take care of network and other things aswell. for mobile providers there is no second launch, so they will take care of network issues first. they officially launch in december as it was Dhirubhais Bday. BTW IDEA is still not full fledge in mumbai. and network got lot of issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KumaarShah 143 Report post Posted January 2, 2009 ^^^ Seems like it will be another long, long wait as is typical with RCOM..... BTW, @mitj@in, which year, please????? arch 2009/2010/2011xxxx? The only reasoning I can think of now is that ADA has in filmy style announced the launch - in filmy parlance it means the film has been announced and will take anything from a week, fortnight, month, quarter, half or even full year or years (if we want extreme perfection a la aamir khan) So the launch only means that the GSM service has been announced. Now they will erect/manipulate the existing CDMA towers, then decide on tariffs (if IUC gets reduced or shelved- the more merrier it will be), then the back-end will be trained, then the front end will get trained, by this time the towers will revolt (because they will not want to beam both CDMA and GSM signals) and so we may be forced to see yet another re-launch-- this time again from scratch..... By this time also hopefully, the MNP will kick in and the 3G will have been dropped because the world would have moved to 6G by now (should it be then?) In any case, with the finmin wanting to double or triple or quadruple the fees for 3G, there will be no cellco remaining to bid for 3G at all. And finally, you will see our RCOM only will get the 3G licence for all India for a song because all players would have gone bankrupt or tired of the flip-flops of the GoI. Only a film hero can have eternal stamina and energy - how else does dharmendra, rajnikant, dev anand etc still remain as heroes today??? Likewise our ADA also has developed eternal stamina and energy by running atleast 100 kms every week!!!!! Yesterday, I had called up 1800 100 3333 and was informed that RCOM has launched GSM in 11000 towns and they do not know if Chennai/Mumbai/Ahmedabad/Bangalore/Hyderabad/Delhi/Kolkata etc come in that 11000 towns!!!!! They want us to believe that we are also equally dumb because we do not know whether the above cities come under that 11000 towns or not. Maybe these cities come under the 240000 villages which will get RCOM GSM services in the next round only... I have given up all hopes of getting any RCOM GSM connection in 2009. It will make more sense to get connected to maybe Airtel or Voda or BSNL..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saketsamir 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2009 If RCOM doesnt want to launch the product in 2-3 days, then there was no point in announcing the launch on 30th Dec. Its shame for Reliance Comm. and Anil to still think about the launch offers and plans. There was absolutely no need to launch the GSM with such a huge fanfare, as the launching will take around 6 months to complete. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats because thy are going to use the same CDMA towers for GSM also.
