Calling all sri lankans to discuss issues related to their phones
Posted by shafrazs
Hi
Does anybody use the dialog 3g superline in sri lanka?
Im having a problem with mine where my network goes down very often and i have to select the network manually. This happened in both my k800i and k810i. I complained to dialog but no use.
Is it something to do with phone settings? Or is it something else? Please help!

Well about Sri lankan mobile services....
The first in South Asia to
Introduce SMS
GPRS
MMS
Mobile streaming
3G video calls
Colour SMS
and the recent 3.5G HSPA with download speed of 7.2 mbps
We got them all first in South Asia !(even before the indians)
What else you want dude?

Thats really impressive. Not at the risk of sounding rude, its much harder to implement 3G here in India because of the cut throat competition. Its really pathetic that we're still only at the stage of issuing Licenses. Government apathy, red tapism.. call it what you want but I guess it would be a tad easier to implement 3G there because in Sri Lanka we have less area to cover -competition might be there but its a different ball game altogether here. Btw, there was this guy called Namal here who was from Sri Lanka. Used to be a regular here. Not sure if he's around these days.

Our operators here are improving and upgrading their networks everyday coz , they're expecting Airtel india here by mid this year.
I was shocked when I heard that Indians dont have 3G. In Sri lanka its becoming a common thing now.
One thing we Sri lankans stay ahead is our mobile communications technology.
Anyway whts the speciality in Airtel in India? Are they cheap or better network?
Posted by whizkidd
Well.. Let me expound. Airtel is the biggest operator we have. India is divided into telecom circles. Not all operators have their presence in all circles.. Except for the notable exception of the state owned Bsnl and the only private player... Airtel. It has the largest number of subscribers and the fastest growing of all the operators. Main competition to Airtel whos on Gsm comes from Reliance mobile who's a Cdma player. As for the network, the pan india presence of airtel is a reason why people prefer airtel. We also have vodafone here now. As for network. Quality the matter is subjective. But Airtel is the clear leader as of now.

How does airtel connects it network? Through towers or do they have any other things
Posted by whizkidd
Yeah Towers.. I dunno of any other way. Or may be I misunderstood the question..

They're supposed to start operations in Sri Lanka very soon. I was told that they won't be using towers. I dont know its true or not. There's a speculation that Airtel will beat all the competitors in the Sri Lankan market coz they have a better technology than the existing operators here, and they can give better and cheaper call charges. But im not sure about that.

Does anybody use Dialog MyTV. I got it and works pretty good. and its good because I can use the same the same settings to stream any other stuff like youtube and even some foriegn channels too.
Can anybody suggest some good sites where I can get the stream feeds (i.e starting with rstp://...... ) which works on Dialog.
I got a few from
