    videocon gsm services must understand a key thing!
    * idea offers 30p to all local calls with a small flexible recharge of 15 0r 14 for 90 days
    * airtel also offers 30p to all local calls for 90 days

    but
    videocon offers 25p(local & std) with a recharge of 25 rupees for just 30 days!
    it doen’t make any sense
    people need maximum validity on any type of rechages
    suppose,
    they offer 25paise (only local) for 90 days with a recharge of 25 rupees,valid for 90 days
    then,they’ll become hit
    currently idea added atleast 100 subscribers in a town in tamilnadu!
    because their full talk time offer & 30p to all local calls
    so they add atleast 800 subscribers in a day(some people buying multi idea sim’s,never mind that:))
    so,
    videocon need to offer cheaper booster packs!

    Every operator gives 2 to 3 GB in Rs. 100.

    I think Videocon is three time better than others.

    Goodbye Videocon…We were using your network eventhough without much coverage only because of your unlimited GPRS plans. Now you can increase the browsing speed of the users more, since there will now be lesser people in your network.

    @Partha
    Uninor’s speed is currently good in all the circles it operates, But make sure that tower is within 600meters of ur area or ur getting 95% signal strength bcos u ll not get good speed if strength is less than 80%

    I am presently using Vodafone Mobile Connect Pack(2GB at Rs.98) and getting 15-25 kbps download speed through IDM. Aircel and Idea are offering unlimited data plan at Rs.98 in Kolkata. Uninor aslo offer upto 6GB free surfing at Rs.90.
    Can any one inform about GPRS/EDGE speed about other operators. Specially for Aircel, Idea and Uninor.

    Yes videocon’s network is very poor nd they charge incoming 1rs and out 2rs after leaving mumbai.

    Videocon is worst operator using others network and launching there services.. TRAI should cancel their licences for all circles.. Existing Videocon customer will not get affected as they have an option to port their existing Videocon number to other operators..

  • Yogesh May 6, 2011 at 2:54 pm

    I think videocon will not exist for a long time since dey don’t have der own network and also they r not offering cheap services.

    if you have not the capacity for lauching the srvice in alloted liscence circles, then why take part in bidding. trai should cancel the videocon liscence.there are other operator for entering into the mobile service.why they are blocking the alloted spectrum

    @Mane
    Videocon is The Idiotic Operator Who Doesn’t Like to Setup BTS in Most Of The States, Especially In Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh,Maharashtra It’s Signal is in Test Mode in Few Of The Places. Idiotic And Worst Network,Very Worst Than Top 5 GSM Operators Aircel,AirTel,BSNL, Idea and Vodafone

    Videocon ki slowest speed se mahine me 6gb to kya 2gb tak bhi use nahi hota.

    When compared to other operators like airtel, vodafone (2gb)… videocon is giving 6gb for 30days.

    Reply
  • Seed May 6, 2011 at 1:27 pm

    First they attract, then they betray. I don’t think Videocon will last in the mobile business too long. The only serious players in the Indian Telecom Industry are Airtel, Vodafone, Idea, Reliance (CDMA & GSM) & Tata (Indicom & Docomo). Others will eventually sell off, since they are busy building the brand to eventually sell off at high prices once the telecom policy and scam verdicts are made. Aircel is busy with Dhoni than improving its network in Mumbai. Most of the Aircel customers are always out of reach.

    6 GB is much enough for one month if you are on 2G.
