Agreed. Atleast Reliance makes some effort to accommodate all kinds of
users and alternative OSes. All other ISPs viz. Pacenet, 7star, VSNL
etc... do nothing for us Linux users...
one word 'prepaid'.. i made a choice to never see a phone bill again..
and yes i know they can deduct balance without notice/reason, but so far
i have nothing to complain (except the b******s at webworld, who i had
to interact for an instrument change).
But you also dont have any choice of handset. Besides the after sales of
Nokia / LG is pathetic. Why oh why would anybody want to use Reliance
prepaid when Hutch prepaid is available =P
Cell phones are use and throw, the after sales service for
nokia/lg/others is as bad for cdma as it is for gsm. Also notice that
the 2nd hand cell market is slowing down (not really, it opening newer
markets in rural areas) as newer cellphones are now dirt cheap..
i opted for reliance due to better coverage and better call quality (my
experience). BTW, i currently use a cheapie chinese ZTE handset that
cost me Rs. 1100/-
