Dilbert 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2005 Hi Guyz... (pant pant gasp gasp).... Too tired to write a long post. These rains have completely drained out my energy. Well, fortunately I did not have to suffer as much as my fellow mumbaiites but I had my own fair share of miseries & woes But anyways, writing this post to share your views about RIM. It has stood by me in my hour of emergency.. Kudos to it. Oh though MTNL landline stopped working at my residence... they restored it within 8 hours of lodging a complaint & replaced one instrument & repaired another within 24 hrs. Cheers...

Puneet 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2005 Rediff is way behind times who told Maharasthra is divided into two circles it is only for landlines but for mobile it is one circle Rediff has got bad reporters now a days just read at its reviews of movies and you will understand the quality of their reporting 37105[/snapback] *Wonder* *ponder* If Mahrashtra is not divided into two circles for mobiles: *Why is it so that Orange provides services only in Mumbai and not in Mahrashtra? *Why is it so that Idea provides services only in Mah and not in Mumbai? *Why is it so that BPL-Essar (Hutch) merger requires intra-circular clearences only for Mumbai and not Mahrashtra. *Why do one need to roam with only friendly networks to avoid chargable incoming? If Mahrashtra is divided into two circles for fixed line: *Why do we have 95 dialling facility? *Why could Reliance provide CUG services and intra-circle call rates to all phones in Mahrashtra before it migrated to Unified License? Well, the explaination: As far as unified (mobile) licensing is concerned, Mumbai and Mahrashtra are still two seperate and distinct circles. Period. Only recently the government has notified that the calls in between these two circles will be considered as intra-circle calls for calculation of tariffs. This, however, doesn't amounts to merger of the circles or making them one. A licensee in one circle can still not develop infrastructre in the other. Licensee is still bound by the geographical limits imposed in the Unified License. A basic license (if applied for) today will include Mumbai in Mahrashtra, but such licensee will not be alowed to offer mobile services. Such licensee could only offer WLL(mobile) services which would be bound within the SDCA limits (remember the old days of Reliance). Yes, Reliance entered the market as a basic operator though it migrated to Unified license later on, and it in fact had Mumbai as part of its operations by aquiring the Mahrashtra circle. Maybe Rediff's telecom reporters are not as bad as their movie reviewers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shabz 8 Report post Posted August 3, 2005 but mobile to mobile and landline to mobile calls in whole of maharasthra including mumbai is to be considered as a local call so no extra charge or STD charge is to be levied on calls ending on mobiles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chirag 5 Report post Posted August 3, 2005 It`s pouring money for cellular firms Mumbai August 03, 2005 For the mobile operators in Maharashtra, the monsoon mayhem was a blessing in disguise. The state, which is divided into two telecom circles — Mumbai and Rest of Maharashtra (RoM) — registered a spurt in outgoing calls and SMSs, as cell phones was the easiest — and sometimes the only — mode of communication available. 37074[/snapback] Are any of the figures posted in that news article ever checked by a third party authority??

kawalghai_chd 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2005 Reliance Infocomm has announced waiver of late payment fee for its Mumbai customers whose bills were due for payment between July 25 and August 4 during the period in which the city reeled under torrential rains and its aftermath. Over the past one week, Mumbai and surrounding areas have gone through an unprecedented ordeal and this facility is intended to bring relief to our postpaid customers, said Mr. Athul Jhamb, CEO, Mumbai, Maharashtra and Goa Circle. Amid the century's worst rains on July 26, Reliance Infocomm's network was largely operational enabling its subscribers to keep in touch with their kith and kin owing to its intrinsic robustness and the company's effective disaster management processes, Mr Jhamb claimed. Reliance Infocomm Ltd, an Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Enterprises group company, is India's largest private information and communications services provider, with a subscriber base of over 11 million. Reliance Infocomm has established a pan-India, capacity, integrated (wireless and wireline), convergent (voice, data and video) digital network, to offer services spanning the entire Infocomm value chain.
