there r no any plan Samsung Corby TV for gsm
Kamal April 20, 2010 at 11:45 am
Date of activation means the date when you activate the broadband plan on your corby. Your regular telephone plan remains the same but you need an additional plan for broadband. If this is for an old phone number and using corby speed. For new connection if you take with broadband, then the date you activate the service would be your first day.
amol April 20, 2010 at 7:22 am
“Reliance Mobile Offer: Free Mobile TV Subscription for 2 months from the date of activation plus Up to 15GB data usage free per month, up to 2 months for Postpaid”

Today i have upgraded my old corby speed with new firmware.
Mobile TV icon is coming under it. but when i try to see any chennl it’s gives error “Registration failed” when contacted TATA indicom, they are saying it’s same as PHOTON TV, so currently PHOTON prepaid customer are not allowed to see or subsciber to photonTV, so u can’t used MOBILETV in ur corby speed.
Plz let me know how to activate THIS TV application.
Also let us know model number of METRO TV.

IPL Chief Lalit Modi with Samsung Corby TV http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLK_N4HWE0k&feature=youtube_gdata
Max April 15, 2010 at 6:01 pm
Also dont expect private operators to provide cheaper 3G services.. They will looking to recover their thousands of crores lost in Auction process
rahul (Tech India) April 15, 2010 at 5:48 pm
they already did that,3G Live TV was already available with MTNL and BSNL and they also launched Live IPL matches on mobile phones via 3G first time in india at Rs.150 for full season (just Rs.2.50 for per match). Private operator kitana bhi pass aa jaye 3g launch k, MTNL/BSNL ko koi fark nahi padega.
Nikhil kHURANA April 15, 2010 at 5:38 pm
MTNL and BSNL should also take initiative as …..3g for private operators is not far away……
