As most of you are aware by now MEID Registration and EVDO Activation on Reliance CDMA is a reality now thanks to efforts from members like HetalDP, Sadikk, etc. This will allow foreign CDMA handsets to be activated legally and use on Reliance Mobile CDMA network with EVDO. We never know if Reliance may force A-Key authentication which can affect foreign CDMA Handsets configured by changing ESN in the past; and changing handsets or selling to someone is a hassle too - so MEID registration is the way to go for complete peace of mind and you get the oppurtunity to have EVDO as well. Without doubt this is a major achievement for everyone for which we have been waiting for several years. In order to cover the costs incurred till now for everyone involved in making it a dream come true and for future software development we need to help them financially even though they are not forcing for it. So we have decided to raise funds (instead of seeking random donation) by uniformly charging the following amounts for members who would like to take advantage of MEID registration and/or EVDO activation: MEID Registration + EVDO Activation = 1000 MEID Registration only = 500 EVDO Activation only (if your MEID is already registered) = 750 This will benefit everyone as both the developers and the members will be able to support each other instead of having just a few members to bear the costs involved. I request everyone to help raise the funds for something we have been eagerly waiting for. Here are some FAQs which I presume will be asked by some members: Does it really cost that much for MEID Registration/EVDO Activation process? No, it will not cost that much. The major part of the charge will be spent for covering the costs incurred till now and for future software development. How do I get my MEID registered and activate EVDO for my MDN? Go here and read the instructions in the first post. How do I make the payment for the fundraiser? We will try to give you as many options as possible like Bank A/C Transfer, Credit Card, PayPal, etc. Please mention your preferred mode of payment when you send the email and the details will be given in the reply. I have already sent the email earlier? You will be informed about the payment details in the reply email. How do I configure my new foreign handset after MEID is registered and for EVDO activation? New topics with configuration instructions will be coming up in the Technical/Programming forum in the coming days along with other related FAQs. What are the softwares being developed? Currently the process for configuring the handset after MEID/EVDO registration/activation has to be done manually which can be bit difficult for the technically challenged. A new software that can configure A-Key, MDN, PPP and HDR UID & password with EVDO settings which is dump compatible for CDMA Workshop 2.7 is being planned. The software is also expected to load Reliance NAM settings like Channel/MNC/MCC/SID/NID and have device specific support as well. This software is only planned and not easy to develop since it involves CDMA programming and can take time as well. Since we do not know if it would be possible for sure; for configuring the handsets new topics with instructions to do that will come up in the Technical/Programming forum or by email one-on-one. Will I get refund if the software development is unsuccessful? No, we are not commited to provide the software based on the funds raised as that is not the main purpose of the fundraiser. Recovering the money spent till now is the first priority. If we get enough funds then we will go ahead to develop the software to write HDR and other parameters in the handset. Manual configuration support will be provided anyway as indicated earlier. I have sent the details by email few days ago but I haven't received any response yet? I will keep an eye on the whole process though I am not directly involved in it. Sadikk will be posting the updates in this topic. Where do I find the Bank payment details?
