rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted June 10, 2013 iPhone CDMA Likely To Be Launched By Reliance Communications Source RCom is planning to launch the iPhone for its CDMA network in India, BGR India has learnt. Multiple people with knowledge of the matter have confirmed that the two companies have signed a deal and an announcement is likely to be made soon. With increasing data revenues across carriers, RCom hopes that having a high-end device like the iPhone would help it retain subscribers and also increase its data revenues. “We have always believed that CDMA is a better technology for data services and we will introduce high-end smartphones across both GSM and CDMA networks,” an RCom executive told BGR India on condition of anonymity as he is not authorized to speak to the media. Apart from Apple, the carrier is also looking at other vendors like HTC and Lenovo to offer smartphones for both its GSM and CDMA networks. Currently, all iPhones and GSM smartphones from other vendors are available unlocked so it is unlikely to make much sense for RCom to procure GSM smartphones. In all likelihood, it would launch the CDMA variants and probably offer some regular data bundling deals for its GSM subscribers. Earlier RCom had entered into a marketing agreement with CoolPad, a Chinese brand, to sell low-end Android smartphones from its own stores. However, the carrier now believes it needs premium smartphones in order to entice high value subscribers to increase its data revenues. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted June 10, 2013 ^^^^ Saurabh ji, they are very clear... They are going to force people who use their CDMA nw just for calls to their (horrible than BSNL) GSM network... And they are going to concentrate on DATA / EVDO by launching hidh-end data enabled CDMA phones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ni0987 179 Report post Posted June 10, 2013 RCom is planning to launch the iPhone for its CDMA network in India... I guess its Apple who is planning to sale (few more of) their phones in India. Anyway, rcom should keep in mind that a large number of CDMA users desirous of owning a CDMA iphone already own it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

::: VA ::: 531 Report post Posted June 11, 2013 well guys whichever version they launch as long as its a world roaming phone and affordable then its simply great. as after reading through the new design, concept and features of iOS 7, i am in awe. unlike the other mobile os which restrict updates to certain and newer devices only. this one will be available for iPhone 4, 4s & 5 apple is very considerate in giving updates to almost all their devices. would love to jump onto the apple wagon now for mobile usage too.
