Openyard 3 Report post Posted May 19, 2016 Firstly, I've learnt more about Reliance 4G from this forum than from official channels. Thanks for that. Secondly, some points to consider: Reliance revamped their online store to reflect 4G prioritization They put ads on TV promoting their 4G-enabled LYF smartphones They sent umpteen messages about CDMA shutting down and how 4G is inevitable In some circles, it seems that they've already shut down CDMA signals rendering phones useless They first said they'd be sending 4G sim by courier (I never got it) and then said to pick it up from the store (they didn't have it too) And after all this hullabaloo, they want us to go for GSM now? Was this all simply a marketing ploy to get more GSM subscribers because they were never sure of rolling out 4G in time? Or did they want to totally wipe off the existing CDMA base and start off 4G on a fresh note? Really annoying to see this happening and how badly it's being mismanaged. Calls to CC come up with vague and contradictory responses. It's like they couldn't care less because they don't know who's in charge of this whole fiasco. I also get the impression that if 4G does materialize (miracle!) then it will just be 3G made to seem faster. On a related note, I'm noticing that On-Net mode on my dongle no longer works (despite recharging for unlimited usage). On my existing CDMA phone too, the voice calls feel muffled and different. They have taken a great network and chopped it down to a mess. It's not 4G, more like 0G. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bablus 66 Report post Posted May 19, 2016 So I understand of us here have paid 2 years in advance. I believe according to TRAI, Telecom service providor cant change terms of offer for any prepaid service till the tenure of payment expires. Which means, if someone has paid for 2 years last June (2015), they cant shut down CDMA till June 2017. Wont that be right? Words of hope... I know! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

abhi.r 95 Report post Posted May 19, 2016 Wo sab to theek hai Hetal ji . But million dollar question is: ye 4G ayega kab. Mujhe to10-May bol ke 4G handset bhi dilwa dia ye reliance walon ne. SSomebody posted a screenshot of sms which said 17-May launch date in Hyderabad. Anyone in Hyderabad confirm whether they started their 4G in Hyderabad and what's the status of CDMA there after the launch of 4G?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abhi.r 95 Report post Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) Since last 2 hours in Delhi I cannot send or receive calls /sms. Data (1x/Evdo) not working. When I call my number using other phone it says number not reachable. Signal Strength : -125dbm (3 out of 6 network signal) Don't know whether tower maintenance or screw up or being upgraded to 4G ;P Edit: UPDATE.. Calls/Sms and data back to normal now on CDMA number. No upgrade to 4G yet. Probably network screw up. Typical Reliance! Edited May 19, 2016 by abhi.r 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it compulsory to upgrade ! If I buy a new 4G sim will it work in my existing CDMA Handset ( LG 6300 ) or it will work on a 2G network on the same handset or I have to buy a new 4G enabled handset too for this. Still there is lot of confusion regarding this upgrade. Everyone has different opinions regarding this issue. I'm not able to find any Reliance store near my location and local stores don't know anything about this. Reliance customer care doesn't reply to mail too. Plz guide me before CDMA completely shuts down. What should I do ? Your LG 6300 phone is a cdma only phone, so it will not work with 4G network or even any GSM network. If you don't want to upgrade to 4G network, you are not alone !!, there are many in this forum, who don't want to change, but since RCOM is mostly likely to close down CDMA business, upgrade or change is the only option left with RCOM customers . Local stores or even Reliance stores will be of no use, as they have no idea, about the confirmed decisions with date. Edited May 19, 2016 by silent_god reply location changed.

ti_user 12 Report post Posted May 19, 2016 Switch to GSM. Tata is also shutting down bit by bit. So, does this mean they are keeping one carrier for 1X? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Himani Wadhwa 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2016 If I Switch to GSM today, the CDMA service will stop working from today itself and all my balance in my CDMA will be lost. And moreover Till the time GSM gets activated there will be no phone number with me and will be left without no means of communication. As I think it will take 6-7 days to get activated after porting to another network. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is ready to help anybody who is willing to port to Bsnl cdma. My suggestion is only for those who wants to put their CDMA ONLY PHONES to good use. Otherwise if rcdma is dead then cdma is dead tata cdma already started informing customer about closure Leftover option is mts and cdma Make the most of cdma till it lasts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
