nandusharma 1 Report post Posted March 13, 2009 I had a message from Reliance that my blackberry services will be suspended for five hours on Saturday (14th March) morning from 5.30 am to 10.30 am. However, customer care told me it may be suspended for 24 hrs to enable up gradation of the system. I also read on newspaper that Reliance has launched wireless broadband at high speeds (EVDO). Putting both together, it sounds like the blackberry services are also being shifted from CDMA1X to EVDO. Can anybody throw some light on this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
@mitJ@in 256 Report post Posted March 13, 2009 EVDO cant come upto BlackBerry untill unless, Reliance get full fledged 3G licence in CDMA. Right now Reliance have a partial 3G licence for Data Cards only. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

asheet 3 Report post Posted March 14, 2009 Guys.. The CDMA Opearors Lic allows CDMA operator to offer any services in their alloted spectrum including EVDO. Hence BSNL, Tata & Reliance have launched EVDO as High Speed data service by using one 1.25Mhz carrier from their allocated pool. If u recall, BSNL launched EVDO almost 6 months ago..

Sadikk 301 Report post Posted March 14, 2009 well for blackberry its only data and not voice. so data can run on evdo and voice on 1x. I doubt they will be doing it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
@mitJ@in 256 Report post Posted March 14, 2009 ^^^ How come 2 Carriers in your Same phone? Either phone will work in EVDO mode or 1x mode. If phone works on EVDO, then your Voice, SMS is disabled, So you BB remains only Internet Device, Not a phone. If phone works on 1x then your Data also work on 1x i.e.153.6 kbps.

nandusharma 1 Report post Posted March 16, 2009 Amit seems to be right.. The D day came and went, and my BB is still 1X . Guess we may have to wait till the #G spectrum auction and allocation are over.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
asheet 3 Report post Posted March 16, 2009 Guys.. The phoen switches carrier automatically. Even in GSM there are many carrier pairs & phone switches between them wout useribntervention, Thats teh ibtelligience is the BTS & phone. In EVDO - it is TDMA tx to Phone & CDMA Rx at BTS. So ur phoen when working as EVDO modem - will work for data only..Thats the plan RCOM, BSNL & Tata are offering... Ur voice plan sremains what they are today as voice uses a diff carrier.

asheet 3 Report post Posted March 20, 2009 Tata PRL for EVDO is v9. It is already working in J&K and other North & East sectors + chennai. In Mumbai, Tata has lauched EVDO on data card & is known as Photon+. On BB it is not yet available due to Tarriff issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
