LTE4G 195 Report post Posted September 14, 2016 ^^^ I'm sorry, an optional upgrade doesn't become forced by any means & users could've exercised their right to migrate especially when nobody knew anything about the new ChorG-network. But yes, CDMA users did feel that Reliance dumped them & it was a pretty messy upgrade. Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk Please read my edited post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ACS 130 Report post Posted September 14, 2016 Who said 'forced conversion' - Read my post carefully "CDMA user never wanted to upgrade but were forced by Rcom". And a CDMA handset user would have opted for MNP - to which CDMA Network ?On one hand you say MNP wasn't an option cause the CDMA handset would've been rendered useless. So what better have we achieved by 'upgrading' to ChoRCom 4G? In which way are the CDMA smartphones at any advantage on ChoRCom 4G network? One has to migrate to GSM, sooner or later.Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LTE4G 195 Report post Posted September 14, 2016 (edited) On one hand you say MNP wasn't an option cause the CDMA handset would've been rendered useless. So what better have we achieved by 'upgrading' to ChoRCom 4G? In which way are the CDMA smartphones at any advantage on ChoRCom 4G network? One has to migrate to GSM, sooner or later. Reason Why I used "left in dilemma" Who said 'forced conversion' - Read my post carefully "CDMA user never wanted to upgrade but were forced by Rcom". And a CDMA handset user would have opted for MNP - to which CDMA Network ? Whose stupidity/ignorance user or Rcom? Some users bought costly CDMA handsets and data cards just months before - Yes it was there stupidity as they were suppose to know that Rcom is going to give them a situation/blow where they will be left in dilemma. Rcom was committed to CDMA users as the validity was till 20-07-2021 and Rcom very cleverly shut down CDMA services in the name of upgrade to 4G. We can understand that 1x to EVDO or EVDO rev.A to EVDO rev.B can be concluded as an upgrade since it provides backward compatibility. But an upgrade which is a complete change of technology - that too for existing more than 5 million subscribers ? No body considered to compensate the equipment cost loss of the user by way of providing free service at least for a while, instead revoked the 10 GB promise as well. Really SAD! Give a second thought to who is responsible for such harassment / suffering for so many...... Basically it was CDMA shut down exercised in disguise of 4G upgrade - some users struggled during the upgrade process while some ported out trying to retain their numbers and those who had CDMA only handsets were forced to buy new handsets whether they port out or stayed with Rcom 4G. As per your opinion Rcom did not force anybody and it was user's stupidity/ignorance since they stayed with Rcom for so many years.

ACS 130 Report post Posted September 14, 2016 ^^^ Agree with all points except the last one.Forget compensation for equipment, ChoRCom was blatantly offering unbeatable CDMA local/std MNP plans just months before announcing closure! Today one can easily understand their intention was to offload the balance stock lying with distributors, stores & Shop.RCom No wonder, few months before closure, even the busiest of sellers were in hyperactive mode towards clearing balance stock.. Well tipped-off internally!So the worst affected actually were, CDMA handset importers/resellers, RGE Sim blackmarketeers & few ppl like me, using UL Mifi Internet @ 600 bucks. So Basically, forum members were the worst hit.Now Anil Bhai cannot see others making more money of his CDMA services, than his own company, can he? He had to do this..

Doesn't he have any advisors? Just can't understand their logic to antagonize a loyal customer base. I had been with Chorcom from 2005! Bade Bhai is trying to woo new customers giving so much of freebies while Chote Bhai is doing his best to drive them away. Is it the case of the emperor without clothes? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

d_d 4 Report post Posted September 18, 2016 Who will buy Rcom Wipod (locked) when RJio JioFi is available at ₹1999.00 with JWO free till 31st December 2016. In Kerala, Idea is offering a similar 4G Wipod for Rs 1800/-, with 6 GB free data per month for three months. With competition hotting up, we can see many more such offers! But it may be better to buy an unlocked device. But maybe phone is better, since if 4G is not available, it can switch to 3G + or -, but not sure this is possible with device.

The signal you are connected to may be band 3 or 40 of rjio and so no data for avoiding roaming charges. Or your sim may need patching, if even 2g or 3g data is also not working...sent from my Lenovo vibe P1 using Tapatalk 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
