Reliance Communications (RCOM), India’s largest and only telecom service provider to offer nationwide GSM and CDMA services today launched ‘Go Green’ a tree planting initiative in Bangalore as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility program.
Over 500 saplings including Neem, Honge and Silver Oak were planted in the premises of Government High School, Immadihalli, in Whitefield Bangalore. The RCOM ‘Go Green’ Campaign was inaugurated by Mr. J Crasta, Co – Chairman – Southern Regional Council (ASSOCHAM) and Ex President – FKCCI.
The program was also supported by Art of Living Foundation. The AOL Foundation added that “Young volunteers of WAYE (World Alliance for Youth Empowerment) empowered by Art of Living have joined hands for the event to plant and adopt trees.
Mr R Swaminathan, Karnataka Hub head – RCOM said “We are committed to conserving the environment in and around us with many more such initiatives. This is the second consecutive year RCOM has embarked on the responsibility towards a greener earth, the earlier initiative being planting 500 saplings at the Bangalore University Campus at Gnana Bharathi in Kengeri last year. With the rising global warming, every step that each one of us can take to preserve the environment by adopting eco-friendly measures will contribute and make a difference.” he added.

@Amit.G
ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION THAT UNINOR IS DEPLOYED CISCO PIX FIREWALL THAT’S WHY THEIR SPEED IS AWESOME
ARJUN CHANDRASHEKAR November 29, 2010 at 7:45 am
@Amit.G
AMIT MAKE ME THE CLARIFICATION THAT AIRTEL WILL DEPLOY BTS OR NOT> BCOZ MY LOCATED AT KOLAR BYEPASS, AIRTEL BTS IS HAVING 2 KMS AWAY FROM MY HOME AND IS HAVING POOR CONNECTIVITY. WHEREAS ALL OPERATORS IS HAVING GOOD SIGNALS IN MY HOME
Renjucool November 29, 2010 at 12:04 am
At least they can put some transmitters in trees for better network coverage
dinesh November 28, 2010 at 11:46 pm
@riju
all retailors of tata docomo and inicom can recharge virgin subscribers.they do not have to maintain separate virgin recharging sim or cash investment in karnataka.
riju November 28, 2010 at 10:17 pm

Raghu November 28, 2010 at 9:11 pm

Manoj Abhigyan November 28, 2010 at 8:26 pm
Thanks ARJUN.
Raghu November 28, 2010 at 8:25 pm
@Santu Sovan Mandal
same here too. Virgin mobile customers are less.
ARJUN CHANDRASHEKAR November 28, 2010 at 7:49 pm
@Santu Sovan Mandal
DUDE VIRGIN IS A BIGGEST FLOP IN KARNATAKA, EVEN I SHOULD I GO FOR AN RETAIL SHOP WHICH IS LOCATED 2 KILOMETERS AWAY FROM MY HOME TO RECHARGE IT, MY SISTER WAS USED THAT DIRTY VIRGIN AND SHE SWITCHED TO DOCOMO BECAUSE WE CAN GET DOCOMO RECHARGE CARD
NEARBY MY HOME
ARJUN CHANDRASHEKAR November 28, 2010 at 7:41 pm
@Amit.G
I THINK AIRTEL WILL BE THE LOSER IN THESE MATTERS IN KARNATAKA AFTER MNP
1. AIRTEL COVERAGE IS TOO POOR IN MOST OF THE VILLAGES WHERE IDEA HAS COVERED WITH A GOOD COVERAGE I.E. AIRTEL HAS 17,000 BTS and IDEA HAS 19,000 BTS
2. AIRTEL’S TARIFF ARE TOO COSTLY FOR AAM AADMI WHEREAS AIRCEL,DOCOMO,MTS AND UNINOR ARE HAVING AFFORDABLE TARIFFS
3.AIRTEL IS NOT PROVIDING QoS LIKE UNINOR WHICH IS A CONGESTION FREE MOBILE OPERATOR
4.AIRTEL IS NOT HAVING EDGE CONNECTIVITY IN 85% OF IT’S BTS LOCATED IN KARNATAKA STATE

@Raghu
Yes!, I’m The Same Arjun With My Surname as Most Of Arjun’s are Entering Into Telecom Talk
dskushwaha November 28, 2010 at 4:57 pm
Strongly agree.. Virgin has spent money only on their Ads.
Santu Sovan Mandal November 28, 2010 at 4:44 pm
Seriously agree. While the others took quite a few years to complete even 50% of total west bengal, they have covered almost 70-75% & in the rest 25% you will get the network of tata indicom as these two companies have network sharing agreement. So, in total west bengal including kolkata you can hardly find any place without mts network.
Santu Sovan Mandal November 28, 2010 at 4:35 pm
@Raghu
One of my friends used to use virgin mobile. The network is same as indicom but their charges are higher than indicom. Also they don’t have proper sms pack. The main attraction of using virgin was “get paid in incoming @10p/min”. They then made that to 5p/min. Now they offer 10p/min for only first 6 months. Another good reason is that virgin mobile don’t have much outlets & normal retailers don’t keep virgin sims & virgin recharge cards. So here virgin has very very few customers.
Raghu November 28, 2010 at 4:14 pm
@Santu Sovan Mandal
i have also heard that MTS is quite good over there in Kolkata.Tata Indicom is good in most of the places as far as i know.
How is Virgin mobile in Kolkata?. i do not have any good opinion on Virgin.. whats ur take?
Raghu November 28, 2010 at 4:08 pm
@ARJUN CHANDRASHEKAR
have u used MTS?
Raghu November 28, 2010 at 4:08 pm
@dskushwaha
RCDMA is much better than RGSM. but u are right they are not India’s no.1 network
Raghu November 28, 2010 at 4:06 pm
@ARJUN
Aircel the problem there is no network if u go inside most of the buildings signal does not come at all. too much fluctuation of signals and voice clarity issue. they will improve the coverage definitely in AP becoz they have 3g license in AP. if u go inside the city in some of the places u do not get proper coverage..
Docomo does not provide coverage at all near my area.but Docomo needs to improve the network becoz there is a lot of signal fluctuation sometimes and sometimes the call gets disconnected. but i find Docomo has improved a lot when compared to Aircel.
ARJUN CHANDRASHEKAR November 28, 2010 at 3:09 pm
@Raghu
GO FOR MTS MAN, BECAUSE THEIR CONESTION RATE IS BELOW 95% I.E. VERY LOW CONGESTION AND VERY LOW CALL DROPS
dskushwaha November 28, 2010 at 2:25 pm
If RCDMA is bad than RGSM is worst in terms of newtwork.
RCDMA makes customers fool when it says India’s No. 1 Network
because it doesn’t have licence in Assam and North East. So better it should avoid using word “India’s No. 1 Network” when it cannot provide roaming to postpaid customers of RCDMA in these two circles.
ARJUN November 28, 2010 at 2:13 pm
@Raghu
IS THERE ANY IMPROVEMENT IN AIRCEL AND DOCOMO in AP? I’M ASKING BCOZ IN OUR STATE AIRCEL IS IMPROVING QUICKLY AND ONE OF THE MEMBER TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL IMPROVE COVERAGE UPTO 75% IN 6 MONTHS
ARJUN November 28, 2010 at 2:01 pm
@Santu Sovan Mandal
Santu MTS is Expanding Their Coverage than any GSM Operator Than in India Aggressively
Santu Sovan Mandal November 28, 2010 at 1:29 pm
@Raghu
Yes. Indicom here is also very very good compared to reliance cdma. But mts here is the best in case of CDMA sector.
Raghu November 28, 2010 at 11:47 am
@Santu Sovan Mandal
have u used Tata Indicom any time?
Raghu November 28, 2010 at 11:46 am
@Santu Sovan Mandal
actually i have not used MTS till now.
ARJUN November 28, 2010 at 11:11 am
@Amit.G
BUT THEIR QUALITY IS WORST IN GSM. COVERAGE IS NOT SO GOOD, BECAUSE YOU WON’T GET RELIANCE SIGNALS IN NELAMANGALA VILLAGE,BELLUR VILLAGE OF KOLAR DISTRICT
Santu Sovan Mandal November 28, 2010 at 11:07 am
@Raghu
@Amit.G
Hello guys, do you have any mts connection? I’m using mts connection from last year. Voice clarity is superb. Network coverage is surprisingly good. Call rate is 1p/2s. Validity of promo is lifetime(recharged with 95 while taking the connection). Full talktime @ 75. Mts to mts unlimited for 30 days @98. What else you need?
Raghu November 28, 2010 at 11:01 am
@Amit.G
i think u should make a try and use RGSM for some days as their offers and call rates are quite good.
Joy November 28, 2010 at 10:46 am
‘Go Green’ Campaign ??? Having regard to the queues of RCOM customers quarreling with customer care executives of Reliance web world stores for wrong and excess debit of various charges, more appropriate campaign, they should run, would be ‘Come Clean’ Campaign !!!
Amit.G November 28, 2010 at 8:43 am
@Raghu
No man im talking abt RGsm
Raghu November 28, 2010 at 1:05 am
@Santu Sovan Mandal
i mean more customers will move out of CDMA to GSM.
Raghu November 28, 2010 at 12:56 am
@Santu Sovan Mandal
Tata Indicom i really appreciate their network they have very good coverage and voice clarity. i have used it and i find their network quite good. With regard to Reliance CDMA what i find is there is a lot of fluctuation of signals ,sometimes the call is getting disconnected in between due to that fluctuation. CDMA will loose out to GSM segment when the MNP comes. what do u think?
Raghu November 28, 2010 at 12:49 am
@Amit.G
u mean RCDMA right. so are u not using Reliance right now?
aditya November 27, 2010 at 11:58 pm
bakwass!
Santu Sovan Mandal November 27, 2010 at 11:53 pm
That’s true. CDMA means quality……a lot better than GSM. This case is happening not with CDMA subs due to the fact that cdma subs are more loyal than GSM ones.
Amit.G November 27, 2010 at 11:48 pm
@Santu Sovan Mandal
But in karnataka reliance has widest network coverage even to the remotest villages . i have used reliance for 3months and i felt it good no disrurbance while speaking. only prob is poor customer care service
Raghu November 27, 2010 at 11:40 pm
@Santu Sovan Mandal
yes i appreciate ur point. but the thing u know well CDMA is much powerful when compared to GSM. i too agree that Reliance cheat the customers by activating VAS pack. the case is happening more in GSM.
Santu Sovan Mandal November 27, 2010 at 11:17 pm
Yes. They should withdraw their useless networks as it’s radiation causing no good for men as well as plants. They should better stop their mobile service & start these sort of activities with the millions of amount looted by cheating customers so far.
PD November 27, 2010 at 6:36 pm
Good initiative ! But does this mean RCom absolving its responsibility of providing a SIMPLY great net work ? Bankrupt in ideas of innovative telecom field ?
Mane November 27, 2010 at 6:05 pm
Good but
Company should attention their network and service
Manoj Abhigyan November 27, 2010 at 6:02 pm
Go Green Reliance and leave your customers please…!!! At least Reliance customers will feel freedom.
