As we reported about Uninor’s mistake of implementing a sms blackout day on 15th august, India’s Independence Day, later they rectify the mistake, now we find out Aircel is also doing the same in Punjab circle.
And most importantly Aircel is doing this thing, when they have already started a online campaign on Facebook with a uploaded picture to celebrate India’s 63th Independence Day.
Aircel’s List of SMS Blackout Days in Punjab
FYI-
We received a phone call from Shalini Sethi Head- Corporate Communications, Aircel Limited and she quotes “Aircel is NOT observing August 15th as SMS Blackout day in any telecom circle across India including Punjab”.

hey…
uninor numbers r not working in punjab

Guys, UNINOR adds are soo boring!! Must be directed by a poor director…. Hard to distinguish whether they are promoting telecoms add or an ad related with JOB.
I know UNINOR is a joint venture between Indian and Telenor group but im sure they will not be able to excel in India, reason being they also have presence with our enemy neighbors Pakistani and Bangladesh as well.
Even, I was read on a internet article that teriorist those who attacked parliament were caring Telenor SIM

@Joy
It would be better if you pack your bags and go to Pakistan, instead of spreading misinformation here. If you spread some misinformation in Pakistan, you could have the advantage of claiming to be patriotic. :p
Don’t know about other places, but Uninor network, esp. voice clarity is VERY good in Pune.
Uninor is not a Pakistani company. It is a joint venture between an Indian company and Telenor or Norway.
Joy September 5, 2010 at 12:57 am
Uninor is such a carp! Jesus H christ its network is like insane!! I’ll put them in least bottom order in terms of network service… The Uninor SIM refuses to get connected with network… Seems, SIM took oath at the time of manufacturing that it will never connect with its Uninor network…
UNINOR pack your bags and go back to your home PAKISTAN…
Don’t BUY UNINOR they are from Pakistan…

There is no blackout day on Uninor as well. In fact, their new 1p/sec plan is the best ever that has been rolled out in the market..imagine getting upto 60% off on 1p/sec local and STD calls!!! awesome!

“if a manager of aircel had called u people and told that aircel had not enlisted independence day as blackout day then why it is still not updated in their website??”
ritz August 15, 2010 at 3:39 am

Aircel should not do online campaign and uploaded picture to celebrate India’s 63th Independence Day. if they can’t give free sms on day of freedom…
zareef August 12, 2010 at 9:20 pm
TRAI have to take action against those operator who blackout SMS service on Independent & republic day
-!GS!- August 12, 2010 at 9:18 pm

zeeshan August 12, 2010 at 9:11 pm
Aircel launched its services recently in punjab and it has option to choose five black out days from remaining year of 2010 in which almost 5 months are left. Thats why Aircel Choose 15 Aug as a black out day as it has no option ti fulfill its quota.
Amit.g August 12, 2010 at 8:59 pm
Ha ha ha very funny
come on guys nw start scolding aircel. lets see whether aircel will respond to user views like how our uninor responded.
