Please suggest which connection to take

[abhisathe 8]

hi everyone,

I am starting a new topic based on my personal query. I have a reliance lifetime prepaid connection and my wife has a vodafone postpaid connection. As would happen to any one like me, there are sizeable calls between the two phones. I want suggestions from you all friends.

1) should a couple have two reliance connections for themselves?

2) or, should a couple go for one reliance connection and one of a different operator?

3)or, should a couple should go for two connections of any other operator?

your suggestions supported by calculations would be most welcome

it's always better to have same network for both of you. it can be any operator. all of them are more or less same. tariff plans are also almost same.

so if both of you go for the Vodafone then you can talk to each other for 20p per minute. so at an average you people are talking 50 mins per day then total minutes per month will be 1500 minutes. here i am assuming that you will be making local calls. so you will be paying 300 rs + 15-20 rs rental. it's for all GSM. if your call usage are ven HIGH then Reliance is offering RIM2RIM local free for Rs 99 per month. so you can activate it on one of the phone and talk to each other.

I will suggest to have differnet operators no although it may be a bit costly for mutual calling

Pros: if one operator's network is down/ congested or call is not going through

you can use other cell

some times voice call to particular nos is clear from one operator etc

^^Network going down is a ver very remote thing and happens very rarely.

Its economical and better to be on Same operator even if you see technically.

You never get a "Network Busy" message if both are on same network

Plus both the husband and the wife may not always be together to use any mobile.

It makes immense sense to be on the same operator. If network down is the issue, then one can keep additional SIMs of other operators. In any case, GSM is the better choice nowadays. And if one wants to be on CDMA, then go in for OMH only, so that you can change RUIMs also.
