Reliance announces app-to-app calling

Aiming to address the issue of call drops, Reliance Communications on Tuesday introduced its 4G app-to-app calling for customers in Delhi NCR at an introductory price of Re one for 300 minutes of talk-time for 30 days.

The offer is named 'Call Drops Se Chutkaara' (freedom from call drops).

"We want Delhi to speak on data. Delhi NCR will get an India-first offer of 300 minutes of app-to-app talking. This will be valid for 30 days at just Re one -- 10 minutes a day for 30 days," said Gurdeep Singh, Chief Executive Officer, Consumer Business, Reliance Communications.

The offer is valid for the month of September only, Gurdeep Singh said. 

After the one-month trial period, customers can buy a data pack for Rs 39 which will give them 200 MB of data which "will be sufficient to make 300 minutes of talking".

The new plan will enable Reliance 4G LTE customers to make calls worldwide through various popular data-based apps such as Whatsapp, FB Messenger, Skype, Google Hangouts, imo and Viber.

Nine out of 10 smartphone users are on apps, said Gurdeep Singh. 

He also said the company is evaluating its options regarding 700 MHz of the upcoming spectrum auction.

The only UC Browser version that works on Samsung Wave 525 (Bada OS)

It's been about 4 years since the Samsung Wave 525 was launched. When it came out in 2010, it was one of the best mid-segment "smartphones" that hit the market. How many momentous, technologically-superior smartphones have come and gone since the Bada OS Wave?  The 525 must now feel like a dinosaur - and it is. In terms of its web browser, the most troublesome dinosaur ever. Prior to using the Samsung Wave, I'd used several other phones and none gave me any problem when using the internet as did the 525.  Browsing experience had never been so much a problem unlike the one the 525 gave me since i bought it three years ago.
