Hi! Thanks for the brilliant review! Kudos on covering the Indian tablet scene, which has recently seen a plethora of sub INR 10,000 budget tablets with usually a 1 GHz processor, 512 MB RAM and or voice calling. I own the first tab you list in this review, the Ambrane AC-7 and while it has its failings I’m fairly satisfied by the device, as a mutimedia tab. The areas where the Ambrane Ac-7 tab has failed includes:
1. I am unable to check balance on the new replaced tablet just like the old tablet, using the *141# dialed command for Vodafone or *123# command for Airtel. I can do this on any GSM phone here at my location, but not with the Ambrane Ac-7 GSM
2G calling King tablet. The error message that pops up says : “Connection Problem or invalid MMI code”.
2.I am unable to search for networks while using the Ambrane Calling King 2G Ac-7 tablet with a SIM as it give me an error message which says: ” Error searching for networks”.
3.Another minor thing that I noticed is that when I insert the sim card the IMEI number is the same as printed on the carton ie, 9112459000078**, but when I remove the SIM chip and check the IMEI number using the *#06# command the IMEI number is shown to be “352274014825***”
The rest the tab worx as expected, although the tab doesn’t have the brightest screen and the colors seem washed out. What is disappointing is that even though I’ve contacted Ambrane for a solution to the abovementioned issues they’ve not responded, which makes me wonder if they really have a customer centric focus at all?
I want to connect dongol with my tablet by otg but I don’t knw wat software is required and my tab is simless
Hey,
Nice collection of Tablets. I am planning to buy one and was thinking about HP voice but review was not cool. You have given good options now.
