On futher research, have realized that WCDMA frequency supported by phone is 850

/2100 while in India we have frequencies 900/1800/2100 I am assuming, 900 is for

calls, sms and others and 1800/2100 frequencies are 2G/3G data use . If this is tr

My advise to all, before buying a dual sim phone, check the frequencies I am left
with using single sim only now.. ;(.. I could have bought Micromax Canvas 2 wit
h both GSM sim slots but my bad luck.. Hope my research would save someone from t
his situation
