lol, please stop, r u used any BB plans with any operator, no body going to buy 3g instead of paying more.. because bb 3g is costly.. even 2G roll out is better.. when ever u went to rural.. u will get EDGE network only.. dont think and act like a fool.. reliance.. need more clarity network… because they dont have 3G all over india.

Idea giving just 100 SMS and its plan is just available for Postpaid users in Gujrat circle only check this post by telecomtalk telecomtalk.info/idea-launches-only-bbm-plan-for-rs-99/89150/
Total cost in Idea will be 99+ Service Tax = Rs.111 and you get BBM + 100 SMS while in Reliance its BBM + 600 SMSes at Rs.129 (only 18 Rs.more and you will ger 6 time more free smses.)
Reliance Plan is same for Postpaid / Prepaid / CDMA / GSM and 3G in all circles but Idea’s plan just for one circle and only for 2G not for 3G !!
Reliance deal is 600 time better from Idea.

Idea is giving BBM in just 99 rs per month. Reliance is useless with irrespobsible customerservice and highly intrrupted network with huge call drops and congestion.

try TATA DOCOMO Black berry plans i am using it ………i watch TV without buffering …

Its better to give a plan for Rs 129 for unlimited access for FB, Twitter and 500 sms/month, really helps BB to push the stock handsets.
Jagan T July 23, 2012 at 11:34 am
Social Network apps (Twitter, Facebook) and SMS are dominant in Indian youth. BBM is very low in the usage. Will it reach to masses?

@kamlesh mehta
no so many of our frnds use BB 9800 which is not a crap as u know. Internet is slow. no doubt about it.
Jatin July 22, 2012 at 9:39 pm
Reliance keeps changing plans.. In Reliance gsm prepaid they recently changed the validity from 30 days to 15 days in rs 148 local mins pack.. increase by 100%..
Jatin July 22, 2012 at 9:37 pm
Reliance gsm network is horrible in Mumbai
Ranajit July 22, 2012 at 8:40 pm
Reliance GSM 3G is one of the Very Best Network Service Providers. This u will know after u experience its current Network. I wish Reliance GSM becomes the No.1 GSM Service Provider of India. I have ported into Reliance & have never regreted it.
aditya iyer July 22, 2012 at 7:22 pm
Rel gsm network is crap in mumbai..on top of that more crapp from BBM..when will these guys learn….
kamlesh mehta July 22, 2012 at 6:35 pm
@Raghu Without using the BlackBerry u cant predict the test of BB. Internet is NOT slow on BlacBerry if ur device is good (Might be ur friend using crap/outdated 8520).
kamlesh mehta July 22, 2012 at 6:33 pm
Its good that Reliance offering same plan for GSM and CDMA both, other CDMA opertaor MTS is total fail in terms of BlackBerry Service and Plans.
Raghu July 22, 2012 at 4:40 pm
this is not a new plan. Now it is high time they reduce the rates for Blackberry Messenger as well as Un-limited from Rs 399 to Rs 199/month atleast . What they are charging highly exhorbitant rates and the NET is also quite slow in BB. i have seen this in so many of frnds mobiles the net speed.
