parin 857 Report post Posted December 19, 2010 i think we all are expecting 3G to be like GPRS plans 99 mein 6GB People want EVDO on there handsets but are they willing to pay the charges for using data is a big question Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karthik R 246 Report post Posted December 19, 2010 3G is a premium service and if they start offering unlimited or high data useage, it will choke the network and drastically drop the quality Got a call from Docomo CC that if I recharge with Rs.91 the account will be endowed with 200MB 3G data and the speed being a whopping 21Mbps. Validity - 30 days. They fail to realise that it will suit only those who use just check the mails plus light browsing on mobile and not for the kinds of me who stream videos and download Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shashank 8 Report post Posted December 19, 2010 Actually current 3G tariffs are hopelessly targeted. Usually 3G subscribers are the ones who have basic tech knowledge...! So these 50MB..100MB with 21.1mbps will not get m(any) users as people won't fall for such crap offers. And most of these customers also has broadband connections in their homes..so they don see the necessity to again spend 1000bucks for a 2 or 3gb data! They will be satisfied with 2gb@Rs.95/month 2G! Now there is another segment which wants high speed internet connectivity but cannot afford the existing wired broadband. They will obviously cannot afford even the 3G as these are more costlier than wired broadband. Now who the hell are they targeting?! Business users? May be. BUT even they will adjust to the cheaper 2G connection. Conclusion: 3G services are going to fail miserably with such stoooopid tariffs. I know operators have spent lot of money for 3g spectrum...but who cares? All that people want is service at cheaper costs. How did these operators forget that india is highly price sensitive country?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

inception 75 Report post Posted December 19, 2010 Reliance told 3G would be competitive priced! ha ha ! And they come up with similar tariffs of Tata Docomo with more freedom! And this 21Mbps crap! I just hate it! Most BTS is offering 3.6Mbps! Well I am not convinced by Speedtest.net results. Direct download gives me a proper view of the network speed. Some of BTS is equipped with 7.2Mbps HSDPA! I guess with this pricing losers are only operators, they bought 3G spectrum paying huge amount of money by taking loans! But without takers or with a few takers they will not make profits! On wireless I think 25GB can be said as so called 'Unlimited' (after 25GB speed will be capped) and that should be priced around Rs 1500! (Only BSNL can offer true unlimited) Otherwise nobody will take private operators' 3G! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
inception 75 Report post Posted December 19, 2010 And another thing, these CDMA players who are offering EVDO data services - BSNL, RCOM, TTSL and MTS are silent on this 3G pricing. RCOM and TTSL priced 3G all most similar to EVDO data. For EVDO they did not pay such hefty amount like 3G. Still EVDO is not cheap (except BSNL). And MTS - who said their strategy is Data, Data and only Data is completely silent, it does not take advantages of current scenario. CDMA players already lost 2G data game against GSM players, as most CDMA handsets do not support data services (1x and EVDO). But they are not thinking about it. As a whole future of CDMA in India is doomed! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karthik R 246 Report post Posted December 19, 2010 Dear Rudradeep, When GSM and its subscribers becomes self-possessed it perceives the efficent and congestion free CDMA network as its enemy and seeks to wipe out what is rest of it through high call connection charges. WE, Rimwebians, are fated to lead the CDMA resistance against GSM and its army of corrupt ministers and the future we were raised to believe in is altered in part by the appearance of current 3G data tariff.

inception 75 Report post Posted December 20, 2010 @Hetal does anyone show more than 10Mbps speedtest on Reliance/Tata Docomo 3G?? @Karthik I am talking about data, not call connection charges, here CDMA can win if tariff is reduced! 25GB@800 can be a killer deal for EVDO players. Do not expect CDMA 3G spectrum auction in next 2 yrs as every1 will be busy with 2G Scam ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karthik R 246 Report post Posted December 20, 2010 CDMA 3G auction will not otherwise happen as the defence forces during a series of meets with representatives from the communications ministry rejected DoT's demands to vacate spectrum in the 1,900 MHz band, that is required.

Shabz 8 Report post Posted December 21, 2010 i think docomo is much cheaper I am using a docomo sim card with Rs 95 recharge for 6gb in my usb modem and it is giving me great speed the download speed is more than 300 KBPS (which was earlier 20 kbps) and i could download a 700 MB movie thru torrent in 1 hr Then why will I pay for higher 3g plans of docomo Is this some kind of loop hole or what Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
city02 63 Report post Posted December 21, 2010 agreed with shashank below, rcom can keep saying there will be no price wars but that will hardly make it so once the early adopters have been exhausted the ONLY way the operators will increase subscribers will be by reducing rates however this may take over a year to happen as the network gets rolled out to different cities Actually current 3G tariffs are hopelessly targeted.

Even then I think the price war starter might not be RCOM and hopes will have to be on Docomo or Aircel; looking at the way they have been increasing rates wherever possible latest being the popular SMS pack again.

indias_no1 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2010 Data cards are probably locked. And plans are NOT cheap ! Remember BSNL offers Rs. 549- 1GB day+5GB night compared to Reliance's 1GB@649. Current Lot is locked but Plan is to bring Open market one's. Even this lot can be unlocked, even RelianceWorld guy is giving link. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kesav 127 Report post Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) I like the methodology (very similar to BSNL) of RCOM 3G tariff when compared against TATA Docomo. TATA unnecessarily bundles voice with Data which I feel is utter stupidity. In RCOM, you can continue everything about voice with your existing 2G tariff and only use 3G data plan as top-up for your data. That's best way. For the sake of 3G why on earth someone should loose all the STVs and RCVs of voice. RCOM, continues to have different data plans for 2G and 3G which is very important since a subscriber can opt for 3G data speed only when he needs it and rest of the time he can continue with 2G speed. Another good thing about RCOM is it does not restrict the speed for any data plans and the speed purely depends on handset and connected BTS capability. If both are breathing 21.1 Mbps then a subscriber in any data plan can make use of it. RCOM gives flexibility to use the data plan in any mode(mobile internet, tethering, USB modem) the subscriber wants to. RCOM has launched 21.1 Mbps USB modem simultaneously with 7.2 Mbps modem which is not the case with TATA(TATA still has only 7.2 Mbps device on sale). RCOM scores over TATA in all aspects. RCOM matches with BSNL in tariff flexibility but falls in terms of tariff cost. RCOM (max 21.1 Mbps) scores over BSNL(max 7.2 Mbps) in terms of speed and device availability matching the BTS speed.

KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted December 29, 2010 (edited) Yes sir.. This time RCom's tariff is much straight-forward and better than that of Tata.. Even though TataGSM is first pvt player to launch 3G services, there is a VERY BIG CATCH here.. Like the mistake they have done in CDMA EV-DO, they are concentrating ONLY ON CITIES and NO small towns are in their 3G roadmap for 2011.. I think TATA DoCoMo 3G will be a big LOOSER in coming days, if they continue these sh!tty restrictions (Locked modem, speed restrictions, voice bundling)..

Has anybody tried RGSM 3G network in New Delhi. I tried it on my nokia N73 but of no avail. I changed network type from GSM to UMTS and even to both but couldn't see the difference. I contacted RCOM CC but they say that you need send some SMS. I believe that SMS thing is for GPRS settings, but maybe CC has not been updated on troubleshooting 3G. I think that they have been asked to put 3G on hold untill they recieve security clearance from Govt. Another possibility could be that I need to go to Web World to get it configured.

theking 35 Report post Posted January 5, 2011 Do u guys have any idea how will the operators operate in circles where they dont have 3G network? Can they use 3G data services from other operators like they use 2G where their roaming network is not available? If yes, the price war would be finished and the customer would have a great 2G option, specially with MNP comingin.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Honest 836 Report post Posted January 5, 2011 King Brother.....ya they will now make a cartel and loot subscribers as no operator has 3g license in all the circles. By the way, Docomo is already in talks with MTNL for Mumbai and Delhi 3g services. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
