ICICI bank into TV Banking.

Banking has improved from long queue's with passbook to ATM's , Multicity, Internet Banking, Mobile Banking, Phone banking, there was also home banking or doorstep banking from abn amro for amounts above Rs5000/- absolutely free collection.

Today i have received mail from icici bank about TV Banking.

This is on channel no 98 on dishtv. It appears to be a good approach.Another step to convenience banking.

Please note it takes around 30 mins for a transaction in icici bank (very often for cash deposit and cash withdrawls). But i hope there are no hidden charges to it, already for banking in icici it is necessary to ask if the transaction would be chargeable or not as latest of them is Rs50/- for a cash deposit after 12 deposits in a month.Sometimes there are error with AQB calculation thus you would be fined Rs 8**/- all inclusive for reversal of which you need to visit the bank twice.

Coolpad Phones - capable of both GSM & CDMA

Coolpad phones ~ These phone are capable of handling both GSM & CDMA !!!



There were dual sim phones long back which had to be switched off to alternate the sim cards, then came dual sim's working together simultaneously,heard about triple sim's and even quad sim's "^''^"1!

Any way those providers(READ RELIANCE) who were on cdma and swore on cdma as the best service would be able to convert their customers now without much of persuassion.

Or may be on instances when GSM fails CDMA could be the backup service,as we tried among operators.Sim's don't need to be changed.
