Now, the telecom company will be migrating its existing 50 lakhs CDMA subscribers to the 4G network as the launch goes goes completely commercial. The upgrade process initially is being carried out in metro cities like Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata, as well as other ‘A’ category circles of states like Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra. Reliance communication has also carried on B circles of UP East, UP West and Madhya Pradesh.
To avail the 4G service, the prepaid customers of Reliance in all the 9 circles will have to recharge their number with the upgraded 4G voucher, with values varying from Rs 75 to Rs 97, depending upon the circle. Customers will have to get a new 4G SIM, available on all reliance stores to avail this service. However, it should be noted that the subscribers (prepaid subscribers after the recharge) will have to send an SMS with the text 4G-space-‘the 19 digit card number’ to 1299. Customers can also visit the reliance net connect website and click the upgrade to 4G button, after which he will have to enter the MDN of the card, the 19 digit SIM number, a valid email id and an alternate number to receive the OTP.
