    mail share

Reliance Communications (RCom) has soft-launched its GSM services on Sunday, 28th September.

The service is currently only available to RCom employees across major cities like Mumbai, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Surat, Lucknow, and Ludhiana. Nearly 10,000 employees have been provided with test SIMs for the new GSM service.

Reportedly, the current test phase includes cities that comprise 45 percent of RCom's subscriber base. In the coming four weeks, the company plans to extend its GSM trials to its employees in cities that form 35 percent of its subscriber base, and eventually to those that consist of 20 percent of the total telecom subscriber base in India.

RCom has invested around Rs. 800 crore in Mumbai circle to set up 2,500 towers.

RCom's full GSM service is expected to available this December. With this, the company will become the only telecom player to offer both GSM and CDMA services in the country.

According to sources, the company expects to have almost 5 lakh subscribers on board by the time its GSM services are rolled out.

I think vineet is very right. I have been in the northeast for last eight years and I think there is no service to be reliance in inefficiency. just imagine, till date they do not have a web page where one can find information of his own account. their bills are faulty, and customer support is pathetic. they had the entire Northeast in their monopoly for a long time but did not catch on with other players who have entered the market recently and everyone is switching on to them. think twice before changing....and first check out from the customer support ( if they take the call, that is :) if one can find about his own film on the web page ...because chances are that couriers will never reach you; nor is there an online paying facility.
