Reliance Communications is offering 10 GB of 4G data for those who upgrade their CDMA connections to 4G, but the company continues to maintain silence on what its eventual tariffs will be.
According to a photo shared user volcano619 on photosharing website imgur, users in 2G-only circles will get 10 GB of 4G data for Rs 93 after they upgrade their CDMA connection.
Note: The denomination of the first recharge differs from circle to circle. In Mumbai, for example, it is Rs 97. Another thing to note is that the recharge must be done before the upgrade SMS is sent, and not after.
If users are upgrading their voice connection, they will also get unlimited reliance to reliance calling for 28 days and 1 GB of free 2G data as well.
On the other hand, if they are upgrading their CDMA data dongle, they will get an additional 5 GB of 2G data. In both cases, they get 10 GB 4G data free.
The benefits in case of RCom’s 3G circles are not known. It is possible that instead of 5 GB of 2G data, they will get 3G data in these circles.
RCom has 3G services in 13 circles — Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Punjab, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, Himachal Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha, Assam, North East and Jammu & Kashmir.
In the remaining areas, it has 2G circles either of its own or via intra-circle roaming pacts.
As we have pointed out earlier, this is only an initial benefit and is unlikely to be continued in the long term.
Once the migration period is over — possibly by the end of this month — RCom will move 4G upgrade customers to new plans, which are likely to be from its GSM tariff list.
