Soon after Airtel and Idea, Aircel the country’s 5th largest cellular operator is now following the trend of hiking its tariffs.
This is the first bold move from any operator in Tamil Nadu circle which has the maximum market share in the state. Aircel is the No.1 operator in Tamil Nadu and Chennai.
In the lines of maximising its profitability Aircel has also made changes in the tariff structure.
In an exclusive user feedback we got he reported to have received an sms from Aircel [DT-Aircel] stating about the hike in charges.
The following charges are made effective from 25th July. 00:00Hrs. Base Plan tariff is being revised from early 1p/s to 1.2p/s for all local and STD on net calls and from 1.2p/s to 1.5p/s to other local and STD along with landlines. Other charges being constant.
Now we hope to see other operators to follow the trend as within days of Airtel raising the tariff other biggies have started to follow an alliance of raising equally. Now its just wait and watch game.
Thanks To Sathish Kumar.

That’s Right Even In Tamilnadu Villages Docomo Signals are Not Available Such That I’ve To Use Vodafone/AirTel Network For Roaming. Very Worst Telecom Operator in India
bharathkumara July 27, 2011 at 10:55 am
i saw in villages docomo no coverage, when we went to andrapradesh docomo coverage is not their.. sometimes.. signals will fluctuate in sometime. sometimes call drop.. we are geeting idea network in roaming in andrapradesh… instead of docomo…

@Amit.G
Amit AirTel is The Worst Network Coz I’m Using Aircel, AirTel and !dea and Yesterday To Check The Voice Clarity I’ve Made A Call From My Aircel Number, Aircel Had Given Connectivity with a Little Bit Of Voice Breakage, Idea Has Given Superb Voice Quality. AirTel Is Very Worst Such That I Can’t Able To Hear The Voice Even The Signal Is Full

@ravi shekhar
DOCOMO rocks…. starting from Voice STV (Rs:75 for three months at 2s/1p locals) to GPRS/EDGE (2GB at Rs:65) and even SMSs (1500 at Rs:11)…….
And, DOCOMO is rocking in Odisha…
It has quite good coverage… and… the customer care is super….
ravi shekhar July 26, 2011 at 6:55 pm
If u dnt roam freqntly n docomo is avlble in ur area,den u can use docomo without facin ny prblm.

Why You People Always Prefer That Useless Docomo? I Don’t Know Why You People Can’t Prefer Idea,AirTel, Aircel and Vodafone and Uninor. Even With The Docomo’s Dumbest Tariff and Worst Coverage all Operators Are Facing Revenue Soon I Think Docomo Will Shut down

Rutheless behaviour by AIRTEL and its tariff. BEWARE of AIRTEL. He is pushing his losses of AFRICA operations and 3g expenses on US using 2g. @fidels

It is sheer innocence to say some one is great. It is a matter of days before all other operators having some hold, leave Unionor and Aircel in AP as they have no working network, will follow suit, unless subscribers resort to some drastic steps like a boycotting the network to teach a lesson to Airtel.

Airtel Tamilnadu prepaid provides call to TN and Chennai landline at just Rs.0.11 per minute (not per second) using Rs.11 booster. Yes. Really !!!!!!!. The only thing is that the benefit may take upto 1 day for activation. You can use this booster along with other boosters (like Rs.119, Rs,195, Rs.225 etc).

Sumit July 25, 2011 at 1:59 pm
I think its good move by all the operator..and its not a surprise if we see few more operators raising their price.. Diesel price are too much.. And lot of inflation in the country.. To be good in services in the market we need this, service is not only for our benefit, but the provides also get benefited a little, but it is not happening in indian telemon industry.. Operators r loosing every day due to worst competition and inflation…

bhai not only orisa its popular in UP (west) also here it is giving 1p/2sec on all local mobil at just Rs 20 for 90 days eariler it was for 180 days but 1st 60 sec of the day is charged @1p best plan available in the circle…… .
saswat July 25, 2011 at 11:48 am
so just switch to docomo and do the new…
VAT July 25, 2011 at 11:46 am
With low margins and high operational costs & rollout costs, all the operators will have to do the same. Just imagine if the operators who have made changes will earn atleast .02 or .03 p/sec on the minutes generated and hence the other who have not made the change will lose money. How will they face the stakeholders in AGM? afterall indian junta, would want low tariff and high returns on there shares as well…
DoCoMo is no different and thier network sucks big time. if coverage is not right, they cannot expect customers to stay with them just for the sake of low tariff. and if they want there customers to enjoy low tariff they should focus of coverage and hence need money to expand? where will money come from ???
saswat July 25, 2011 at 11:44 am
in orissa docomo is the best among youngsters specially , with its cheap calling tarrifs (1p/2s with Rs 35 STV and val 90days to all local calls) and somewhat good coverage… And great data packs with gud speed.
saswat July 25, 2011 at 11:35 am
i think now its time for docomo to take over the market… If it remains constant to its campaign “keep it simple and sily” with its revolutionary plan ever, that is 1p/s to all L&N calls, even in roaming…
Its ur time now docomo… But hope u wl nt let ur fans down by following the price hike as done by other operators.
joseph July 25, 2011 at 10:39 am
i think tatadocomo will do the same
