rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted January 21, 2011 Called up MTS Mumbai to probe Few Details...Here is the summary... -They are providing OMH Sim Card. -Browsing on Phone is Totally Free in Postpaid Plan. Only when you download something, it is chargeable... -For their 3 models of Handsets priced at some 4.5K, 6.2K and 13K, they are providing 3 month EMI Payment Facility AND NOW THE REAL KICK...Hold Your Breath... They are allowing and registering Imported CDMA Handsets on their network... Asked three times by giving example of Imported Handset like Samsung Epic, HTC Incredible etc...Every Time Answer was YES.. Was asked to contact nearest MTS Center for further help.. I really hope someone Senior From Reliance reads this as they did in Abhijit's Case... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
siva1983in 1 Report post Posted January 21, 2011 I sent the msg to port my tamilnadu aircel postpaid number yesterday. Today got a call from an aircel office telling me to stay in aircel (that they will improve network) and he offered me 60% discount in rental of my postpaid plan for 3 months or 500 min free voice calls to any n/w for 3 months.

amitnsonu 72 Report post Posted January 21, 2011 Have not it been laid down by TRAI in the MNP guidelines that the subscriber who is porting away should not be contacted by the ex-operator, with an intention to persuade the user to stay? These actions by telecos grossly violate them. And how hollow is it when they say the pressing issues faced by the user will be sorted out when all these years they have turned a deaf ear towards it. No it shouldnt be... let it be a fair game, we should atleast give chance to existing operator to convince the customer to avoid the unnecessary porting for example if any customer is moving out because of tarriff, and the existing operator provide the tarriff what a customer then it is fine. why to port unnecessrily ... Am I right Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
digitalnirvana 646 Report post Posted January 21, 2011 I sent port request yesterday from my RCDMA number, got the porting code. Was expecting atleast someone would call and enquire why am I porting as I am high ARPU customer (Rs 1200+ on normal bill and ~ Rs 1500 on times when I am on roaming) but got no calls till now. Getting determined to port, or at least to switch to RCDMA prepaid with lower tariff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Better err on the side of caution Rajan bhai, all browsing (except maybe IM) will download something to the buffer, e.g. if you browse YouTube for sure heavy data will be downloaded to buffer, even though you did not specifically download something to your mobile.

rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted January 21, 2011 wht abt BB.. did you asked abt foreign BB and activating BIS on it? No i did not. AFAIK they have yet to start Blackberry Services..And even after they start, i don't think Imported Blackberry can work for Official BIS just as it does not work on Reliance or TATA... Better err on the side of caution Rajan bhai, all browsing (except maybe IM) will download something to the buffer, e.g. if you browse YouTube for sure heavy data will be downloaded to buffer, even though you did not specifically download something to your mobile. I am also scratching my head how the network would differentiate between browsing and downloading...Ultimately data gets downloaded.. May be what they mean to say is that one can't do tethering and use it on PC.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pasumark 51 Report post Posted January 22, 2011 Dear members, I have a very interesting experience to share. Yesterday afternoon, I had shared my experience about MNP and RCDMA in the forum `Much awaited MNP finally introduced', where in I told how I went to Reliance webworld in Thane to get my Idea postpaid number ported in to Reliance CDMA on Thursday, and rather than being received well, was instead told to visit next day as they were not equipped with instructions and procedures. I had then moved to the Tata indicom office next door where everything was in place. I had forgotten my experience after posting in on Rimweb and was waiting for MNP to materialise. I am thankful to Rimweb forum for its fantastic reach and how things moved thereafter. It seems some top boss from Reliance took note of my post on Rimweb and swung into action. He called up the Reliance webworld in Thane and hauled them up on how they could decline a port-in customer. Fortunately for the webworld people in Thane, I had left my mobile number with the staff. One of the top guys then frantically called me convincing me not to go anywhere other than Reliance. He was very apologetic that his staff turned me down and said this was something unexpected. He then sent some one to collect my documents and did that. That sweet guy convinced me to cancel my port-in request to Tata Indicom and now I have filled my new MNP request for Reliance CDMA. The Reliance webworld people have assured me that they would visit my home today to get my signatures and complete other formalities, besides deliver me the new SIM card. I am waiting for them to visit me. May be because the top boss from Reliance pulled strings, but I am overwhelmed to have invoked such a pleasant reaction and attention from Reliance CDMA to my port-in request, more importantly after sharing my experience on Rimweb. I hope these guys wake up now and extend the same attention and treatment to all mobile users who visit Reliance to port-in. I have not been told yet about the tariff they are offering for getting my postpaid GSM number ported to Reliance CDMA, but I am sure they have something good in store. Congrats Rimweb....keep it up. Is Reliance Expecting PORT IN from any customer? WW in my area has not recieved any Forms even they are unaware of process for PORT IN. I tried RGSM to RCDMA. No offers from them. They must not be expecting any port ins lol that is why they are not bothering with telling WW of process, else by now they would have been active like other operators trying to woo customers. How did the WW people react when you told them you wanted to port in did they gasp and fall off their chairs? Hip Hip Hurray RIMWEB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petar 15 Report post Posted January 22, 2011 NO offers received by any1 ??? A friend of mine had really surprising experience of MNP - instead of getting a retention offer from Vodafone - he was called & informed abt the balance payment without which it was not possible to port. When exec. was told about billing issues & tariff issue he had with Vodafone - he was told he can port to any network as it was his personal choice but only after paying up the amount. He has consistent billing of 600+ Rs every month. Not exactly a high user but still above avg revenue per user mark. Is the MNP euphoria dying ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I told him I would either convert to prepaid or port than stick with high rental postpaid plan. He then said engineer will call back with better plan. I would not say my ARPU is very high but definitely it is much higher than average. Baffled by CC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually Reliance was not expecting such outcome of MNP, Every operator be it AirHELL or BSNL has a MNP link on their website while RCom has '0' on MNP on their website. Also RCom is keeping their old customers as a priority & it varies from Circle to Circle. I am from MP&CG Circle, they gave me good offer (mentioned in posts above).
