The LTE band on the Nexus 5 is unlikely to work on Indian 4G operators. Also... Airtel does not have voice rights on their 4G service and Reliance does not have mobile voice licensing and they plan to offer voice over data.
Airtel tried offering voice and LTE over a hybrid device that used their 3G network for voice and 4G network for data but since they are different networks and require special hardware, they need a phone or something like that.

Ok. Just curious... How does 4G LTE work here in India? Do you get a SIM card? If yes... How are you going to make calls using it when Airtel does not have the rights to offer voice over 4G LTE in India? :
From what I understand 4G rights were not sold like usual here in India. They were sold for data not voice.

bands are ready..they have to integrate services thats what my point is..thats what my definition of "4G ready in india" isbecause i have a moto phone..which supports 4G...but the bands are different..so im in no condition to use 4G even if they introduce voice, SMS etc!!

Sadly the Nexus 5 won't support the 4G in India, as the 4G spectrum allocated here so far is the 2300 Mhz band which none of the top end smartphones supports in India yet. But I guess till the time all those Lazy BWA Spectrum winner will pull their Shit together to offer a running network, compatible handsets too will be available.

From what I have read they are using CSFB (Circuit Switched Fallback System) for enabling Voice, which makes the device "falls back" to the 3G or 2G network to complete the call.

So the same SIM works on both 2G/3G/4G networks?
Heard on news channel that Reliance Jio has applied for lakhs of numbers to launch their services in the coming months. Are they still planning to offer mobile services through data? :eek:
