inception 75 Report post Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) <p> As I have contacted Verizon officials, it is clear that Verizon iPhone does not have RUIM Slot, nor it is locked to Verizon network. Rather all CDMA settings are put on the phone. So if you can edit it, you can also use it in India with Reliance, tata, mts, bsnl, mtnl, ping! </p><p><br></p><p><em>The iPhone 4 on the Verizon Wireless network is a CDMA 1X/EVDO Rev.A: 800/1900MHz. It does not have a RUIM slot for a SIM card and while we don’t typically sub-lock our devices, the phone was designed to work on the Verizon Wireless network. The phone will work in about 40 countries that use CDMA service.

Karthik R 246 Report post Posted February 17, 2011 Apple spells out Verizon, AT&T iPhone differences We already know that the CDMA (Verizon) and GSM (AT&T and international) iPhones are ever-so-slightly different physically and internally—but just how different are the two iPhones in terms of actual, real-world usage? On Wednesday, Apple published a new support document with the catchy headline iPhone: Understanding phone features. As it turns out, various rather mundane phone features work differently, depending on whether you’re using a GSM iPhone or a CDMA one. GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) and CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) are two competing cellular network standards. In the U.S. both Verizon and Sprint largely use CDMA-based networks, with AT&T and T-Mobile using GSM. Internationally, GSM is far more commonplace, with CDMA used prominently in only a handful of countries. Because of the two different network protocols, some calling features are toggled differently on the two phones. On a GSM iPhone, to turn Call Forwarding, Call Waiting, and Caller ID on or off, you launch the Settings app, tap Phone, and then adjust the appropriate control. Changing those same settings on a CDMA phone, however, requires dialing special codes—*72, *70, and *67, respectively. And for disabling Call Waiting or (outgoing) Caller ID, you need to dial those unique codes every single time you place a call. Apple’s new document also highlights differences between how the two phones handle conference calls. GSM iPhones can support up to five simultaneous calls, while CDMA iPhones top out at two simultaneous calls. The document also directs CDMA iPhone owners to the iPhone User Guide, which spells out more limitations in CDMA’s implementation of conference calls: you can’t merge calls if the second call is incoming, and you can’t switch between calls if the second call was outgoing—though you can, in that case, merge the calls. And on CDMA iPhones, if you end the second call or the merged call, both calls are terminated. These conference call limitations are endemic to all Verizon CDMA phones, not just the iPhone. Another difference highlighted in Apple’s knowledge base document is the way the two phones handle dialing pauses—a feature you might need if, for example, you’re dialing into an automated phone system. Soft pauses work identically: you tap and hold * (asterisk) while dialing; when editing a contact’s number, you tap the +*# key and then Pause. But if you want to dial a hard pause—one where the remaining digits aren’t dialed until you tap Dial a second time—your only option is a CDMA iPhone, because GSM iPhones don’t support hard pauses at all. To trigger the hard pause on a CDMA iPhone, you hold down # while dialing, or tap that +*# key and then choose Wait when editing a contact’s number. If you like putting your callers on Hold—as opposed to merely muting your end of the call—you’ll need a GSM iPhone. (You tap and hold the onscreen Mute button while on a call to trigger Hold.) CDMA networks don’t support that functionality. Apple also acknowledges in the document that CDMA iPhones may have issues in certain cases when you attempt to dial phone numbers that contain alphabetic characters if they exceed the normal ten-digit limit. The only proposed solution is to manually edit the numbers as necessary. So, why all these differences? As Verizon once advertised, “It’s the network.” While the two network technologies achieve the same end result—i.e., making your cell phone work—they do so in vastly different ways behind the scenes. CDMA networks package up data—your voice calls and your Internet usage—very differently from GSM phones. These calling differences, much like the fact that CDMA phones don’t support simultaneous data usage while on the phone, are simply related to differences in the core technical makeup of the networks themselves. Whether these calling differences should influence your decision about whether to go with AT&T or Verizon for your next iPhone is, in the end, a personal decision. Obviously, if you’re already accustomed to the limitations of one network, you needn’t fear using the iPhone on it; the differences Apple describes in the new document are really true for all Verizon and AT&T phones, not just the iPhone. If, on the other hand, you’re considering a network switch, make sure you won’t lose a feature you rely on, like 5-way conference calls. Presumably, neither Apple nor its customers—and probably not even Verizon—are happy with some of the limitations of CDMA networks. It's hard to say which of those three entities—Apple, Verizon, or consumers—is more eager for Verizon to complete its upgrade to the next-generation LTE standard, which should eliminate most of these frustrations.

sougatadc 358 Report post Posted March 12, 2011 Price kitna hoga iska??? What happened to Sadikk? Launching iPhone for RCDMA on facebook only, keeping silence here! The cellwalla.com page on facebook reads: CDMA iphone 4, Pre-Booking is here. Delivery in 10 days, 16 GB, Voice and sms working on delivery and data to work in 10 days. 10 handsets to go. get urs NOW. Price 31500/- call Zayed on 09819515198. Note - Its for Reliance only as of now. Coming soon on MTS. So it is Rs. 31500 for first 10 customers, friends. It's 16GB, not the 32GB one. No news of iPhone 4 on Tata. Long way to go for me, as my Fascinate is still quite new. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Karthik R 246 Report post Posted March 13, 2011 With the introduction of the CDMA iPhone 4, industry observers had expected China Telecom to become China's second telecom company to carry the Apple smartphone, but no official launch plans have been announced thus far. Vincent Chih, CEO of Taiwan's only CDMA 2000 3G mobile carrier Asia Pacific Telecom (APT), indicated that the main reason is that Apple's current CDMA iPhone 4 does not support SIM card slot, while China Telecom prefers one that does. Order volume must be substantial in order to convince Apple to develop a SIM card iPhone 4, said Chih. - Digitimes May be it is a rumour going around but it will be awesome if it support RUIM card or possibly OMH one.

kesav 127 Report post Posted March 13, 2011 @Karthik, Let us be assured that if Apple makes an Iphone with RUIM slot, it'll surely be OMH based. Apple does not like locking in developing countries as seen in GSM version Iphones & Ipads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted March 13, 2011 From what I have heard, Apple is trying for SIM-less phone even for GSM iPhones in future... Then how we can expect that, they will bring OMH-RUIM based CDMA iPhones here in China/India???? I doubt whether, iPhone will change their policy for India (a small market wrt sales of LEGAL GSM iPhones)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kesav 127 Report post Posted March 13, 2011 SIM-less GSM Iphones are quite far away and it's a long term plan. They've to live through present to taste the future.

digitalnirvana 646 Report post Posted April 12, 2011 Apple iPhone 4 pricing in India: be ready to pay a premium Bharti Airtel, and later Aircel, announced the imminent Indian launch of the Apple iPhone 4, and everyone wants to know what the damage will be. We expect Apple to follow the same pricing trends it has in the past when introducing new models while retaining previous generation devices on the shelves – the iPhone 4 will be priced at roughly the same price as the iPhone 3GS at launch – around Rs. 42,000 for the 32GB version. As always, substantially more than its U.S. price. The iPhone 4 16GB version should retail for less, at about Rs. 37,000. Apple will also significantly drop the prices of the iPhone 3GS, so if you are still itching to get your hands on one, good for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ami1 237 Report post Posted April 13, 2011 Actually, I think the only reason people buy iPhone in India is because its expensive and so a status symbol. If it was not expensive, there would hardly be any reason to buy it. At least here in India. In fact most people i have seen with iphones (except a few youngsters) hardly use anything except calls/voice. The people who use all features apps etc go in for slightly cheaper but better android phones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
