savramesh 37 Report post Posted June 1, 2009 just clicked this in mind. let us discuss the plus and minus of this idea.. An universal sim card which works with all gsm networks in india. We search a network and use it to make and receive calls. Call charges will be deducted by the network we used for a particular call. What do u think ?

SUDYEcaZ 67 Report post Posted June 1, 2009 just clicked this in mind. let us discuss the plus and minus of this idea..An universal sim card which works with all gsm networks in india. We search a network and use it to make and receive calls. Call charges will be deducted by the network we used for a particular call. What do u think ? more or less like choosing your carrier?? Which is on a wish list for STD calls..... the only problem is you cant be registered to different network at the same time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
savramesh 37 Report post Posted June 1, 2009 ^^^ one at a time is enough to make a call.. next call we switch to another network if required.. change network when no signal in current network, or network busy etc.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KumaarShah 143 Report post Posted June 1, 2009 ^^^ Nice dreams but maybe implementable in the distant future only. Never stop dreaming, dreams can turn into reality also... On the flip side, we have to maintain some balance with each and every operator on the SIM? And what about the validity of the balance, 6 monthly minimum recharges, etc etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
savramesh 37 Report post Posted June 1, 2009 ^^^ one balance one validity, can be used with any operator.. universal recharge system after every call the charges will be reduced from balance and it goes to the operator we used to call.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

me_saket 73 Report post Posted June 1, 2009 it is more likely seen as One Mobile number from one operator, and Person can ROAM to ALL available network. And Even ROAMING will work in INTER circle and INTRA-circle too. to implement this concept, BSNL must be agree, as he has to give n/w to pvt operator. IT's simple but not that much useful. because customer doen't have time to search new network everytime. Instead N/w QUALITY is need to improve to such leevel that ur call never fails, nor u experince any HELLO HELLO problem. and about intra-circle roaming, u can chage ur operator to that operator whis provide best n/w in ur CITY/town/circle etc, this will happen after MNP.

savramesh 37 Report post Posted June 1, 2009 And Even ROAMING will work in INTER circle and INTRA-circle too. why roaming in intra-circle? the call orginates from the network i have searched and registered. at that time i will be a customer of that particular network and not the old one.. like an advanced MNP [change provider anytime]..

Roaming is takes place same way as u thought. when u select ALIAN(other n/w) u r become part(I.e.customer) of that n/w. I prepaid ur balance is deducted by that operator, as per tariff given by ur operator to that operator. Then deducted balance is transfered to ur n/w , and then ur n/w gives some profit share of that to ALIAN n/w for service proved by them, SO most time u see in prepaid call tariff is standard, ie 1/1.5/1. local/std/incoming. In postpaid, all calls are recored and that data is sent to ur operator, which then charge u differential tariff as per plan selected by u. then share profit among them selves. u can expence this, if ur out for roaming when ur billing cycle ends.

manishag 17 Report post Posted June 2, 2009 but the biggest problem will be how the billing part will be managed ??. it's possible only if there would be one company to manage the billing with co-ordination of the company which is managing the no database for MNP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
savramesh 37 Report post Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) ^^^ this system suits prepaid. as u said postpaid will be complex.. or we can say postpaid will be locked with one operator.. Edited June 2, 2009 by savramesh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ravi_patent 28 Report post Posted June 2, 2009 while this is a grt idea from the consumer's point ,which operator wants to share the revenues. .any such system working in matured markets? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manishag 17 Report post Posted June 2, 2009 while this is a grt idea from the consumer's point ,which operator wants to share the revenues..any such system working in matured markets? well if any operator wants to make money he has to provide better network and better offers so user will be bound to use it's service. any operator with poor coverage will lost the money. since billing will be central so there will be no fake activation. in order to implement we need one common company to handle billing so it'll be easier to trace the user in case of any disaster. operators won't be able to hide the actual usage details Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
