Maybe in the next somewhere we could read a news titled ...... 'Reliance courtacy - 'A Billion Sorrows !!' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe in the next somewhere we could read a news titled ...... 'Reliance courtacy - 'A Billion Sorrows !!' I think its a lil bit too harsh.. I agree, earlier there were lots of problems wit reliance.. But now, its improving at a descent pace Edited May 13, 2007 by vmsanghrajka Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Honest 836 Report post Posted May 13, 2007 ^^^ @vmsanghrajka I agree with you my dear friend but now Reliance have to give its best otherwise not only those who had just taken connections of Reliance but also we all will find ourselves in trouble due to lack of services. I think Reliance must provide good Customer Care service to all its subscribers now, especially in Prepaid. Regards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raccoon 53 Report post Posted May 14, 2007 A million new connections ....that sounds like a lot ....but these kind of connections are likely to be very volatile ...since the handsets are very cheap, people may just discard them after sometime ....or after the free mins are over. And I'm sure many have taken these connections as a 2nd handset ...so the number of subscribers would definitely not have gone up to the same extent as the number of new connections...

supernova 47 Report post Posted May 14, 2007 i think new connections must have gone very high . as with prepaid 220 gsk . it cost 997 n in that u get new phone , with 1 yr incomng and 1000 talktime on reliance . so many must have bought as an extra phone for driver , servants , office people ; secondary for family members etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

findmrinal 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2007 Indeed, Reliance got several complaints regarding Classic that seem to be a settled case now. However, before this best buy, the customers were pre-informed about the issues with the phone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
