''RELIANCE'' the company which was founded by the late dhirubhai ambani in thenlate 50s today has acquired the fame of being the common people's frind since the company has tried very hard to make consumer items that can be made available and most importantly it can be afforded by each and every person.so the company is definitely considered as the one that really work to reach out for the common man's needs.by the way its earning prosperity in a very short time is really worth watching.
but the way they r plannin things sometimes do work out to be boon for the average person but sometimes they just try to convince the consumer abt the products but very few know that the products r not that simple as it looks out to be.the best example can be given that of the reliance infocomm that has launched the mobile phones recently.these phones r considrered to be the poor man's telephone but its not so...for a few days the cellphones were considered as the luxurious item but 2day its the one even the avg person can easily avail it without any problem.well the reliance cellphone is the best thing that has happened to the wireless technology world is what the ppl say but its not soo.. lets have a look at the factors that do not make the cellphones worth to have it.
The reliance mobile has got many facilities that r absolutely free.Firstly to get that mobile one has tto pay rs 3000 in which he will be getting a free handset (digital) worth Rs.10500 and alongwith it freee services such as free sms,internet,news channel facility etccccc.400 minutes of free outgoing calls and free incoming calls that has been applied by other GSM(Global System for Mobile comminucations) mobile services too.this offer by the reliance will be under a three year contract ie if u calculate we find that 3000+(500*36=18000)=21000so these faciilities r really tempting for any other person to buy it .
well such a mobile service one has to poseess it for three years.THREE YEARS!!!!36 months ...we people have got the uncanny knack of changing the handsets within two or three months thats why the grey market is always full with the customer can get any model within a few moments at an unbelievable price.so I doubt this will definitely a concern for those ppl.secondly once u avail the reliance handset u just cant return it ..of course u can return it but ur money wont be refunded
400 minutes of outgoin and incoming free .this facility is available nly from reliance to reliance network for other callss one has to pay extra thatsss sick!!there is one more thing of concern that if one uses the internet then the minutes he used for the net access will be deducted from the 400 minutes .the reliance service doesnt have a rowming facility for instance if u r in mumbai and travel to delhi for any work u can take it there before that u will have to call the reliance helplineget a number from them then only u will be able to receive calls provided those callers dial u the new number.Now thats a tiring jobbb isnt it!!!!
thus reliance give u those facilities that the normal GSM mobile services dont give.but still I wont recommend any one of u to have that.rather than go for those GSM mobile services like BPL to avail a great service without any hassles..
so as per th slogan that says ''Kar lo duniya mutthi mein '' should be merely called ''Karlo customer mutthi mein''....
