vvinayakpai 26 Report post Posted January 15, 2010 I have been using RCDMA for the past 3.5 years. I have no problems at all other than the odd service related issues which i am sure is common among all operators. I have roamed in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh with my RCOM CDMA connection and am really happy about my decision. Please note that I have not used Tata Indicom nor MTS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sougatadc 358 Report post Posted January 15, 2010 Never used RCDMA or MTS, so cannot take part in this poll. I'm a very old subscriber of TataIndicom and is going on using it because I use the on-net free add-on facility, besides there are other advantages also.

aalok 442 Report post Posted January 16, 2010 ^ Its not only Tata, every company is expanding their networks but only after checking the demand & feasibility.. Only the problem is that the Tower erection process is very tedious nowadays, thats why telecos have come up with the solution of Tower-Sharing.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) Dear FriendTATA has stopped CDMA Expansion . Even the places have DOCOMO coverage do not have CDMA Towers in UP I feel personally now they are not interested in CDMA Regards That is because Docomo has tower sharing agreements with BSNL ... In CDMA, a minimum distance should be maintained b/w towers to avoid interference.. Thats why few (of the shared BSNL) towers have Docomo equipment only and not Indicom.. And CDMA towers usually have smaller height than that of GSM towers (some BPL <now Vodafone> towers are ridiculously HIGH when they were first launched here in Sivakasi, my home town)... If you have seen some towers with two or more equipments, the bottom most will definitely be a CDMA equipment... From my experience, TATA has excellent coverage with Nokia handsets (especially Nokia2865, 6585 and few low-end Nokias, than Nokia6265) only.. I can talk continuously in my 2865 with even one point of tower for long time, while travelling away from town without call drops (That is of-course also due to BREATHING-NETWORK quality of CDMA).. With my Huwaei, it is possible to 50% of distance only & SPICE (D88 Gold G+C) coverage is the worst.. Edited January 16, 2010 by kanagadeepan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
::Hitesh:: 1,763 Report post Posted January 16, 2010 tower sharing will reduce cost of installation, and may get equal coverage for both network. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also i agree with ur view. tata netwotk is good with nokia 2865 handset, and not good with spice handset. but with samsung handset performance of n/w is in between nokia and spice.

amitbt22 2 Report post Posted January 17, 2010 Apart from my Experience Samsung's only shows the better signal but in that scenario voice is worse compared to others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Himanshu Singh 19 Report post Posted January 17, 2010 Certain Nokia handsets are pathetic in signal strength.Like Nokia 1600, Nokia 6080, Nokia 2626. At the same location with the same operator Samsung does better than these sets. Moral of the story-Pick your handset depending on its signal strength beside other things.

aviator 3 Report post Posted January 17, 2010 Is tata really phasing out its CDMA network? Well, in J&K reliance has GSM bt nt CDMA. Heard it would come in 2009 but it never came. I am a cdma user since 2007 and had been on CDMA since then ! Few CDMA towers are needed for same coverage, wen compared to GSM. Network quality is good, call drop is lesser, voice quality superb, u can lure customers by free calling. Then why the hell are companies phasing their CDMAs????

Nags 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2010 In my opinion, service providers are not thinking abt expansion in CDMA due to the following reasons. 1. Handset options - GSM has very wide range of handsets- low range, multimedia phones, high end phones, buisiness phones (basically all dominated by NOKIA). CDMA has very little options (apart from what is being brought & sold thro rimweb). this will attract any buyer 2. Handset price- on comparison, the same spec will cost less than CDMA. 3. option of changing the service provider (only samsung has come now) 4. Coverage issues ( in some places) 5. World roaming for corporate people-in CDMA one may have to change the handset (now there are dual sim handsets coming..but are very cheap & poor in quality except BB world edition) All the above negatives are there which many people will not like. so they make compromise for voice clarity & opt for GSM. this is making the service providers to go to GSM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KAPILKDEV 68 Report post Posted February 18, 2010 Hi I am from Kerala and using MTS(phone no 9142034110) and Tata indicom(phone no 9249736222). MTS has more coverage and economical tariffs than indicom. Indicom has poor coverage in some important places in Kerala like Thrissur Medical college - medical university campus.

mkambastha 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2010 Since RCDMA does not have network in JK , Assam and NE it will not work . Thus prepaid or post paid is immaterial. Tata Indi has network in JK , Assam and NE . For "in-roamers" i.e. people who want to roam in JK , Assam and NE they must have post-paid connections. For " in-roamers " prepaid wont work.
