silverline 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2005 This is certainly not the kind of news any RIM subscriber would want to hear.... So sad, atleast those cricket score updates should be kept free !!! Cheers, Silverline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanveer 59 Report post Posted January 5, 2005 DAPO users can enjoy the cricket scores free on 1234. but in a lrger perspective it s a sad news for all of us. and the most alarming part is that the rates will be comparable to other operators. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dhayfule 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2005 Hi Folks, That would be worthless, since free R-World was an attraction to the customers, however customers arent allowed to make full use of WAP in RWorld like other Service Providers, I mean RWorld doesnt allow to download free ringtones and other stuff from wap sites like other service providers allow to. Niether do we have option to share ringtones and other stuff. Who would pay for inconviniences?!!! Bye Regards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rakesh5295 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2005 But while taking the mobile all ust know, nothing comes free. till today rim is giving free rworld to compensate thinngs like complete romaing, hello tunes etc which it is not providfing till date. as the company gives more serivice it will also charge for its services thought its rates will always remain low then gsm providers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
