TATA Indicom New coverage Claims - Poor Mobile Network Syndrome

Now a days when you pass on a road you see many advertisements that say that Tata Indicom has really improved network connections and we should switch to TATA Indicom as we are not getting good network coverage on the other GSM mobiles!!

Wow!! That's really great. Some told me that TATA Indicom is giving unlimited free calls on their plans, so I thought to go and ask if some one is using TATA Indicom mobile and know how is the network coverage. The problem was only that the I can find any one in my office or friend circle using TATA Indicom.

TATA Indicom:

"It uses spread spectrum technology, same technology used by military communications systems worldwide for years. CDMA technology - the one that has been adopted & offered by Tata Indicom , was first used during World War II by the English allies to foil German attempts at jamming transmissions & promises a much better information security"

Looks like CDMA technology saved the planet earth. WOW

 

Difference between CDMA and GSM handsets

CDMA: stands for Code Division Multiple Access. Both data and voice are separated from signals using codes and then transmited using a wide frequency range. Because of this, there are more space left for data transfer (this was one of the reasons why CDMA is the prefered technology for the 3G generation, which is broadband access and the use of big multimedia messages). 14% of the worldwide market goes to CDMA. For the 3G generation CDMA uses 1x EV-DO and EV-DV. It has a lot of users in Asia, specially in South Korea.

GSM: stands for Global System Mobile. Even though it is sold as "the latest technology" in several countries, this technology is older than CDMA (and also TDMA). But keep in mind that this doesn't mean that GSM is inferior or worse than CDMA. Roaming readiness and fraud prevention are two major advantages from this technology. GSM is the most used cell phone technology in the world, with 73% of the worldwide market. It has a very strong presence in Europe.

I don't know about the mobile but some of my friends have TATA Indicom, but I swear 70% of the time the connection is not up. I get a voice, The TATA Indicom number is not reachable

The LG handset is 14 months old and is near to the window on the street. But when my friend has to talk he has to take the phone out from his house to catch signals. I wonder how Indicom can work in elevators, basements and tunnels. Is there any monitoring body to validate these claims!!

If some one is experiencing good network coverage or some improvement in TATA, just share it among us...

Reliance WiMax (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) connectivity in Bangalore Sucks, planning to launch this technology in Pune

“Unlike wireless fidelity (wi-fi), where radio waves can cover up to 30 meters, WiMax services are accessible for over 10 miles in theory. WiMax is offering better mobility to the users without being connected by a wire to a service operator. Indian wireless market, which is growing rapidly by 40%, is expected to react positively to the new technology,” said an industry expert.

The move that targets the three million wireless internet users in the country is expected to give first-mover advantage to the company.

Bharti Airtel, VSNL and BSNL have also tested the new technology and planning to roll out in the near future.
WiMax (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access)
has been launched by Aircel Cellular in Chennai for business customers.

Reliance WiMax service in Bangalore has been extremely poor as reliance lacks the skill to resolve customer issues.

My friends in my office has reliance WiMax connection as Reliance is first targeting the co-operate customers first by giving discounts. There is no issue for the co-operate customers to collect bills and they have computers to use that and also a desperate need to have Internet on home.

I went to Reliance Web World and they told to me that they don’t have any information on WiMax and they will sell only Netconnect cards only. There is no information on Reliance Website of WiMax.

There are also reports that reliance is putting Microwave Antenna for the reception in consumer’s home. I really have doubts about that.

The customer care is really deaf and dump. The customer service is very poor. Whenever you contact them they will give you a Service request number, but no action will be taken as there are only few people(Third Party) who are taking care of WiMax connection. They are interested only in providing new connections and they are not interested in trouble shooting your problems.

As this is a new technology and also complex; Reliance lacks engineers to look into your issue. My friend called reliance customer care as he was not able to connect to the Internet and they changed the antenna direction. The issue was solved at that point but still cropped in.

The user should be given a good service and Government and TRAI should intervene if the service is not given properly.

The connection is quite erratic, at times it works quite smoothly but at times it just doesn't get a IP for hours together. Try calling up the helpdesk but as all most of us here have experienced they are crap.

People are waiting to get the connection from almost a month. After one month Reliance engineers will declare your area as non-feasible. And instead of returning the cheque they submit the cheque in Bank. No you have to fight to get my money back.

Now Reliance is targeting Pune IT people to rollout this service. My friends in Bangalore, mostly all of whom has WiMax are now opting to disconnect the plans as reliance is very fast in encashing your payment from your account but equally slow in giving returns to us. So if some one in Pune is wants to use WiMax, then better take it on own risk or read about Reliance Service on the Internet.

The technology may be good but its clearly visible that Reliance service is really poor and expensive.

If some company is not giving proper service, what can be done from us and from the TRAI and do you have any experience with Reliance Wimax
