Should you buy it? Do the math and conclude yourself. This is indeed a great offer from Reliance but only suitable to those who have high monthly usage. So, if you spend more than 1500 on your mobile bills, you can consider this a great buy as this gives you truly unlimited everything (calls, sms, internet). However, since it can not be used in 3g data card (but can be used with other handsets, also iPhone can be used with other network or connection or sim card), beware if you’re buying it primarily for unlimited 3G internet. Also consider Reliance network reliability and situation in your area as you’ll be bound to use Reliance for 2 years because of your commitment or else your investment into this offer will be waste. Moreover, the last quarter of 2014 is likely to be flavored with 4G internet speed and telecom niche so consider that also (though that is not much relevant in my view for now).
