ti_user 12 Report post Posted April 30, 2016 Today I went to local Tata store to port one of my RCDMA numbers to TI. Store person was willing to accept request, but said that July mid is their wind-up date. Confirmed same from multiple stores in Mumbai. Can anyone confirm this?

KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted April 30, 2016 Heard that Tata also has applied for liberalisation of its CDMA spectrum in two circles and trai is about to accept it. Those two circles are most probably Delhi and Mumbai, but not 100% sure. Apart from Tata and Rcom, Airtel and Vodafone also asked for liberalisation of 1800MHz spectrum in one circle each. No idea about which circle, they have applied though.. sent from my Lenovo Vibe P1 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ti_user 12 Report post Posted April 30, 2016 I wonder why Tata needs LTE. They don't even have enough spectrum, right? Plus, their EV revB works great in Mumbai and Delhi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted April 30, 2016 They are trying to sell them to some big operator, most probably Vodafone. This is evident from the fact that they have no GSM network in Delhi for voice fallback. Reg Mumbai, their 2.5MHz out of 6.25MHz is going to expire in 2018 itself. sent from my Lenovo Vibe P1 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

inception 75 Report post Posted May 3, 2016 Tata does not many voice customers so they can easily ask them to migrate to GSM. And data users (=Photon+) can be given option to upgrade device for 4G data. But only problem is Tata does not have 5Mhz spectrum in most circles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted May 5, 2016 Friends, today I received a call from Tata people that, TATA is going to shut down CDMA services in TN circle in coming days and going to use the spectrum for 3G (????) services.. Will update here, once I get more infos.. But I am NOT 100% sure about the fact in their claims.. Anybody who is using TN Postpaid CDMA (voice) connections in TATA got such news?? Please share here..

ti_user 12 Report post Posted May 7, 2016 (edited) Confirmed with distributor and CC, 30th June is last date for CDMA in MUM, AP and UPE. Already many sites have been shut down in Mumbai, many places have very poor CDMA signal. Tata CDMA was the best network in Mumbai earlier. GSM is pretty good within the city, but only 2G.

inception 75 Report post Posted May 9, 2016 TATA is a messed up company in telecom, did not launch 3G via ICRA and 2G network works pretty bad in outside of the cities. So people are moved out to 3G operators of their respective circles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted May 10, 2016 Just got an update.. Its NOT closing in TN abruptly in 15th May. But they were told to stop giving CDMA connections now and encourage the customers to move to GSM using INP. Looks like Tata is testing the waters in the above said 3 circles first and then continue to shut down in all other circles (incl TN) later. This is just the beginning of END of Tata's CDMA journey.. I personally love them to be bought by BSNL (has 2.5MHz in almost all circles like Tata) and combine their both 2.5MHz to form 5MHz 4G spectrum per circle PAN India almost.. But it is NOT going to happen, as BSNL is busy digging their own grave... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dr.faramroze 703 Report post Posted May 11, 2016 To finalize MNP process, went to circle office Tata Docomo today and clarified about it's CDMA closure. They have accepted my family's port applications from Reliance to Indicom. As you all have said, there are different policies for various circles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dr.faramroze 703 Report post Posted May 11, 2016 Reliance CDMA has saved me in time of heaviest floods. That was the last day I used GSM as a secondary number. CDMA may close someday but I am sure Tata Tele will inform us of any change in service or termination. I will be happy to be the last CDMA customer in India. Till then no GSM 4G.

ti_user 12 Report post Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) At a very remote location currently. Rcdma 1x is what is keeping me connected. Not even bsnl is available here. While I am sad that rcdma is shutting down, it was excellent while it lasted. Edited May 11, 2016 by ti_user 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
