RCOM already developgin 4G SIM for CDMA as well as GSM customer they just need to get new 4G SIM which will fallback to GSM network for calls ! NO NEED to PORT HERE and THERE ! 4G SIM is in testing ! mya be available after 30 days in select circle ! in Few Circle they might have to surrender CDMA before the 4G SIM comes so they may force to get Temporary GSM by GSM porting !

vikasmahajanz 33 Report post Posted March 31, 2016 This is shocking news... what about High end cdma handsets ?? what about special CDMA plans like Dzero and First Priority What About The Good Network ??? due to which only people loved CDMA !!! I hope Hetal Ji is right... reliance people misguiding to port to reliance gsm for getting new connections... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arnuld 12 Report post Posted March 31, 2016 I doubt a MDN working on both technology, GSM as well as CDMA, Regulatory norms might get hindered too. In such scenario, the technology shall get Unified with Unified Plans and Unified SIMs. Hey @mitJ@in , Yes. You are right. They cant work on both technologies. If you some handset manufacturer supprts CDMA then he has to pay royalties to Qualcomm, in GSM it is not so. 4G is evolution from 2G-HSPA, the evolution of CDMA was UMB (Ultra Mobile Band, developed in 2006) but Qualcomm dropped it in favor of 4G in 2008. What we call 3G is actually CDMA technology (if you look at the phones supporting 3G, you will notice the manual/box will say W-CDMA). 4G or LTE is an evolution from both CDMA and GSM but I don't think there will ever be a unified SIM suporting both CDMA and GSM available for public, the technologies are very different. CDMA is dying in India, sad but true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ti_user 12 Report post Posted April 2, 2016 RCDMA hasn't even planned to shut down in South, so your friend is correct. But what about the north circles, no RCDMA in Punjab, Haryana and HP means that it is useless for a lot of folks living in NCR, me included. TATA has scaled down severely in HP, so can't even switch to that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) Even if they are going to close CDMA in those five circles only, then it will affect CDMA users of other circles like say, they lose pan India roaming, etc.. Roaming used to be a huge plus point and cheaper in Rcdma. sent from my Lenovo Vibe P1 using Tapatalk Edited April 3, 2016 by KanagaDeepan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
