I had two prepaid Reliance numbers that I had planned to dispose of, so I was watching it to see if or when Rcom would switch off their signals. On the first one, the signal bar went out 2 days ago, on the second, it went out yesterday. Incidentally, Rcom's DTH business was shut down on 18 Nov.

Banks to whom debt is owed are likely to call the shots now as per T&C of debt restructuring. I guess Anil just wants to exit the Rcom mess. RCom’s new debt repayment plan gives banks majority shareholding Edited November 23, 2017 by natjay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LTE4G 195 Report post Posted November 23, 2017 Reliance CDMA was my second number when I took the connection in 2003 under the introductory phase of 'Dhirubhai Ambani Pioneer' offer. Later I took one more number, then data card dongle 1x - upgraded to EVDO data card...etc. even took one 3G (GSM) sim. I really loved CDMA network - low radiation, good voice quality, decent acceptable data speed, good coverage even while roaming. Rcom could have survived with its robust CDMA network, but the decision of upgrading to 4G proved fatal for them as it not only just strengthened Jio but dragged Rcom to the current situation.
