ACS 130 Report post Posted May 17, 2016 Exactly, people are taking 'Talking on VoLTE' as 'Status symbol' Nah! Its deeper.. Several CDMA handsets still remain unsold in the market. VOLTE seems like their only saviour. Check out the buy-sell forum. Surprising to see what's going on there.. Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Check out the buy-sell forum. Surprising to see what's going on there.. Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk One thing is for sure, CDMA will die in India. MTS - will continue til RCOM merges with it. BSNL - winded up in most circles. In my circle, Kolkata no CDMA since March 31. Tata - few voice customers, but still Photon is a big brand in wireless data market. Fate is yet to be decided. RCOM- definitely kill the CDMA in due course of time. Starting of Rcom-Jio spectrum sharing will be the death certificate for RCDMA. I would suggest CDMA handset sellers to sell off their CDMA only handsets as soon as possible, even at a price with zero profit. However CDMA/GSM imported handsets will continue the sale until the 3G becomes obsolete in the shadows of 4G. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pranay Surakanti 3 Report post Posted May 18, 2016 If 4g network is low You can switch to 2g or 3g. Volte may have QoS since it's is a network feature carrying voice (unlike Skype). Volte uses IP protocol.. Which are essentially data packets. In 2g and 3g it's still data but connection is peer to peer like a traditional telephony. In IP each data packet has the destination address so it can travel with other data. Yes QoS is essential in such cases. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ranpreet 2 Report post Posted May 18, 2016 It has been absolutely a Disaster as far as this upgrade is concerned, they could have handled it in a much better fashion by communicating better. it seems none of Reliance Communications internal departments are talking to each other. the Communication team is not in Sync with what marketing is saying and no one know what should be a standard communication to customers should be. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

silent_god 121 Report post Posted May 18, 2016 Hello Friends, Any idea what happens to existing CDMA conndections, after RCOM 4G is "ACTUALLY" live ? I have one cdma number of my mom, which I have not done for 4G recharge, not got any new 4G sim. I plan to let it remain cdma sim, as usual. After all these upgrade messed up activity, will I have to stop using cdma or they will automatically take my number into their 4G network ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zanaka 13 Report post Posted May 18, 2016 Meanwhile JIO employees are inviting the public for referrals for the promotional 3 month "unlimited" LYF phone bundled JIO 4G sim ( LYF phone will have to be purchased ) on FB and other social media. If anyone is interested head over to the JIO page or the trending news section of FB where a couple of Reliance Digital store owners from different states are also offering the scheme.

You will have to change the Sim card if CDMA network shuts down. CDMA uses RUIM which is not the same as a GSM Sim card. So you'll have to shift to GSM to continue your number, when CDMA shuts down ( no clarity on that yet frankly) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi, Please go through above post of Vikas Mahajan, in Punjab they switched off complete CDMA so if you won't port or migrate one fine day when your circle gets switched off, your number will be useless. You won't be able to generate port out code also until you get cdma coverage either by roaming to other circle.

amitksvs 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2016 Friends, I have an HTC ONE E8 (dual SIM with CDMA on SIM-1) which I believe does not support LTE; I am at present using CDMA (post paid). I have received the 4G SIM and have sent the upgrade request to 1299. Can you please suggest me the options ahead for me? If I am not able to access 4G on LTE, will I be able to use Voice and Data on 3G on this phone (HTC One E8)? Please enlighten me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prajwal Kabra 1 Report post Posted May 19, 2016 CDMA in all circles will be shut down in phased manner. Reliance (RCOM) paid a huge price to liberalise all its spectrum holding and by acquiring new spectrum in auctions. It won't make sense for them to continue CDMA which won't bring any new revenue to them. Even MTS Spectrum after the merger will be coverted to 4G & CDMA in those circles will also be shut down. It's better to convert your sim or PORT in time else you will loose your no. If you don't do it before deadline. The CDMA TO GSM/4G Switch-Over would happen in night consequatively. One will off, another will on. Right now only thing is to register the sim for upgrade. Rest process will be informed in future. Also, CDMA was dead technology and it was bound to happen. Infact last year RCOM announced it publicly after winning the Auction about its intention to launch 4G on CDMA Band.

Your phone will be usable on new RCOM LTE network check this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTE_frequency_bands Band 5 is a subset of Band 26.
