KumaarShah 143 Report post Posted January 16, 2009 ^^^ CDMA launch only had connectivity with other networks problem, but here RCOM GSM seems to have network availability problem itself. The former can be condoned, but the latter problem cannot be condoned. What was the urgency to launch the services if they were not ready in the 1st place? They only seem to have succeeded in making great fools of themselves. There are a lot of people to whom service matters the most, and not the lack of it. If one wants to be ADA's guinea pigs, all the best to them. Good that they have not yet introduced in major cities because they know for sure that their WW/WWEs would be destroyed!!! IMHO, we RIMwebians are the only species to have abundant patience with RCOM. So many around us just run away from the word 'Reliance' itself. Thank God it is not yet launched in Chennai (just checked on this and confirmed with CC). Let the RoI experiment, hope we will be the last to taste RCOM GSM- maybe the full version!!!! Not the trial edition or the limited version!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
savramesh 37 Report post Posted January 16, 2009 few days back i spoke to the local technical person, and he said the towers are under the control of reliance head office technical person and still its not handed over to local technical person..the work is not 100% completed, so we can expect a better service than now.. anyway i am very much happy with current service available here..

dkaile 1,051 Report post Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) OK, so today I got the GSM sim delivered to my house (by a friend working in webworld); Paid 25/- ONLY; Number in Meerut starts with 9027 series; Using it in my very old Nokia 6610 GSM Phone (so cannot try edge etc... but it does have gprs, I think) FIRST IMPRESSIONS - Fantastic Network till now.... Full Towers coming in my house; Balance showing as 10/- (1.50/- main balance and 8.50/- Local Call Balance) so that means that 10/- daily balance has to be for Local (donno why I got yhe 1.50/- main balance, maybe first time in sim activation) Made STD Calls to Airtel Delhi - went through in first try... Also Local Calls are going through first try - No Congestion seen till date... But right now, I dont know what to do with this sim card...
