amitnsonu 72 Report post Posted April 15, 2016 Now that it is almost final that RCDMA will be migrated to RCOM 4G, the next step is to upgrade our smartphone. Many of us may be using imported phone which might work on 4G. I request all seniors to suggest which phones will be working with RCOM 4G. Currently I am using Droid Maxx which is a world phone acc to motorola. Will it work with RCOM 4G or I need to change this ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dkaile 1,051 Report post Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) Please choose a handset with ALL LTE (4G) bands and with built in VoLTE support (must). I chose Redmi Note 3. Even my Asus Zenfone 2 does not have VoLTE. Though people think VoLTE can be done via software upgrade in 4G compatible handsets, IMHO if it does not come out of the box it will be a difficult proposition later on. Kindly search the internet, there are lots of 4G+VoLTE handsets available in India but mostly in the higher price bracket - http://telecomtalk.info/list-rjio-volte-enabled-smartphone/147516/ Edited April 15, 2016 by dkaile Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amitnsonu 72 Report post Posted April 15, 2016 lot of confusion (or you can i am a noob in this tech world).. in the other thread some member post QA type which stated that "voice will be through fallback on 2G/3G network and data will be provided by 4G network",. if this is true, is it necessary to have VoLTE enabled phone for voice ?

commonman 228 Report post Posted April 15, 2016 Will Lumia 550 work with LTE Band 5? If yes, it could be the cheapest alternative. Microsoft website indicates following only, GSM network: 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz WCDMA network: Band 5 (850 MHz), Band 8 (900 MHz), Band 1 (2100 MHz) LTE FDD network: Band 8 (900MHz), Band 20 (800MHz), Band 1 (2100 MHz), Band 3 (1800 MHz), Band 7 (2600 MHz) It shows Band 5 but only as WCDMA (3G?). Also one of my cousin uses it with Airtel 4G in Kolkata but LTE Band 40 is not shown in Microsoft website. I'm thoroughly confused. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted April 16, 2016 Buy band 5, 40, volte enabled as most of us will ultimately port to jio later Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using Tapatalk Jio has pan india spectrum in band 40 - 2300Mhz. It also has Band 5 - 850 Mhz sharing with Reliance. It further acquired in auction band 3 - 1800 Mhz in some circles. If Jio's 4G for Reliance CDMA upgrade customers is deployed on band 5, it will also deploy 4G in band 3 & 40. Otherwise what Jio will do with spectrum in band 3 & 40? My proposition is that a 4G handset with band 3 support should work in some circles & with band 40 support should work in all circles for data. (VOLTE will depend on handset support). Handset without VOLTE support should also work for voice as Jio has Pan India agreement with BSNL & Reliance Communication for 2G/3G voice fallback. So the conclusion is, All handset with particular deployed 4G band in respective circle but without VOLTE will latch on either BSNL or R COM GSM network for voice All handset with particular deployed 4G band in respective circle but with VOLTE will use Jio data network for Voice & will switch to 2G/3G voice fallback where Jio coverage ends.
