Freedom 251 Website Crashes

Freedom 251 Website Crashes

The website http://freedom251.com which was the official website for the phone maker to sell its latest series of phone which is one of the cheapest phones ever made crashed at 5:55 AM on 18th February 2016.

The website was working till 5:54 AM today morning, however since the hype for the cheapest mobile was on, the load on the website would have increased dramatically. This would have lead to the sudden spike in overall traffic to the website. As such the website was not much attractive to look at and used http instead of secure https for the sale of the mobile.

While connecting to the website, it showed an error :"The requested resource could not be loaded because the server returned an error:
  503 (?)" . 

I tried to access the website through some proxy servers and it opened up, however it couldn't take the load and simply failed to open the buy page.

It would have been better if they would have used some cloud technologies and made the website little more elastic since the hype for the cheapest mobile phone was unsurprisingly high.

I have some screenshots from proxy websites.

The surprising thing was that the actual company website http://ringingbells.co.in/ didn't even show a little detail about the phone Freedom 251.

Lets Hope they fix the website soon.. All the best RiningBells. Lets Make In India

Connection Timed Out Error while using Mobile Internet on PC using Tethering

Connection Timed Out Error while using Mobile Internet on PC using Tethering[Resolved]

Recently, I found out an issue which caused the internet used through mobile tethering to not let secure pages display on computer.


This is the scenario:
BSNL sim - with 3G internet pack inserted in Slot 2
Aircel sim - with 3G in Slot 1
Samsung Galaxy Duos.

While using I noticed the speed reduced and continuously disconnecting.

While the other sim I was using was working perfectly in the slot for SIM1.

So, I decided to switch the cards and that did it.

Switching my BSNL card to SIM1 Slot actually improved the speed and it worked fantastically.

Most Samsung mobiles have this issue. The secondary Sim Slot does good with 3G but not good enough.

So it is good to switch your primary 3G sim in slot 1 for best speeds.

With this speed, I was able to open all web pages on my computer along with secured pages.



TIP: Some times the secured pages won't open just because the time on your PC doesn't match with the time and date on the main google servers. 

So, please do check if the time is correct on your PC just to make sure that is not the issue.
