MTNL and BSNL should take a joint decision and abolish all tariff differences for similar services to the subscribers amongst these PSUs ! Ths subscribers of these units are at the receiving end especially while ROAMING (a classic example as expressed in TT -Mumbai and maharashtra/goa circles) This is to be done immediately of obvious reasons (Read MNP options) and project, in letter and spirit, a PAN-INDIA entity ! Also the concerned at BSNL and MTNL should update its systems and networking equipments. In this context the it is really appreciable that @MTNL BSNL is taking grievances in all sincerely, that too without loosing coolness ! It is my sincere wish that all the present subscribers and probable ones too, support them so that get success in their endeavour, i.e. to take up our problems at appropriate levels !

@MTNL BSNL
@ MTNL BSNL. when you are going to reply for above issue??
MTNL BSNL January 26, 2011 at 1:28 am
Heartly Wishing you all our esteemed subscribers & to all telecomtalk reader “HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY!!!
Raghu January 24, 2011 at 3:27 pm
@MTNL BSNL
one more thing i think u have to give that feature online for plan changing with user and password in the net atleast. so if the subscribers take action u can show them the proof that u have made the request via online the request.u can have ample proof that the customer has only changed the plan. In this Internet world everything is possible i request you to atleast look into this. this is more of a valid point i suppose.so that the customer will have not take the burden of going to nearest CSC.
Raghu January 24, 2011 at 3:23 pm
@MTNL BSNL
one more thing u have to make the e-mail id renewals,Online Recharge and all that online with user id and password so that the customer will not have take a trouble to going to the customer care executives for each and everything. Hope u will take up my request.
Amit.G January 24, 2011 at 12:03 pm
MNP EFFECT: From past 2days uninor is offering discounts @ 30 40 45 50 55 60% most of the time…. eariler i used to get 60% for 1hr/day n rest would be 10-15% but now i have not seen 15% from 2days. minimum discount will be 30%
Keshav Jha January 24, 2011 at 11:55 am
We want you here badly. BSNL/MTNL has very good plans and no problem of false deduction/billing. Both have very good coverage. The only problem is network and service. All problems occur due to maintenance or tower shut down. Some time we get signal from our nearby tower but some time from a remote tower. If service gets correct, then BSNL/MTNL will be on top position. I am eagerly waiting for those days. BSNL/MTNL use karte samay ek deshbhakti sa bhaw jag jata hai, isliye kuchh problems face karne ke baad bhi hum use karte rahte hain. Kyon na humlog milkar BSNL/MTNL ko sabse acchha bana dein?
Mustan January 24, 2011 at 11:36 am
And who are you to Imitate me??
Mustan January 24, 2011 at 11:23 am

Raghu January 24, 2011 at 10:53 am
@MTNL BSNL
thanks for your detailed update. i fully appreciate that too.
Manoj Abhigyan January 24, 2011 at 9:43 am
Your work is appreciative. Keep on and please add remaining circles of BSNL. Thanks for your effort to keep BSNL/MTNL ahead.
dayle January 24, 2011 at 9:32 am
i too appreciate the service, please stay on. Infact why not contact the admins to get a dedicated area on this site similar to Docomo live chat win win for customers,mtnl and tt as well.
Abhijit January 24, 2011 at 7:41 am
@MTNL BSNL. I already shared my concerned regarding BSNL 3G coverage problem for my area through sms on 9869347070. And also there is sms sending problem if it is 4 * 160 character and also remains pending for hours. Can you provide me an email id of yours for further conversation and my bsnl number and email id is already shared with you yesterday only through sms
MTNL BSNL January 24, 2011 at 1:19 am
@Raghu
Raghu, 1st i want to mention you one thing that both companies are PSU(Government operated) In Govt everything they require written proof to act as per your request. Both co. have very bad experience on such telephonic VAS activations. Subcsribers pull, take action against them in telephone Adalat, subscriber directly ask to show written documents, show our signature or show our written application. They also confess that they never picked the call of helpline & they directly refuse to pay the charges for that services which they utilize for the last month. So that both the Co. stopped telephonic request approval. Expecting you will understand the importance of hard copy with applicant/subscriber’s signature. Telephone Adalat always take necessary action to avoid business loss & image of Company among the subscribers or people. As a result they started to take application from subscribers & it should be submit in nearest CSC. Expecting your doubt is clear now. Its better for both of us. Minor hurdle but finally full of legal, no one subscriber can get wrong billing & no unwanted activation from PSU.
Raghu January 24, 2011 at 12:39 am
@MTNL BSNL
one suggestion, if any customer wants to change plan in Postpaid he has go to the nearest customer care executive office and then write a letter to change the plan. it will be nice if u can give that authority to the customer care executives on phone so that we can change plan in the phone only and there is no need to go there.All the private operators change the plan on phone only. i hope ur people will also implement it.
Mustan January 24, 2011 at 12:28 am
@MTNL BSNL
Very sorry i dint question your credibility and i was not aware this much people got benefited sorry again we need you who knows tomorrow i will also sms you for help im new so i was not aware what is the email id ?
Raghu January 24, 2011 at 12:25 am
@MTNL BSNL
thanks. i really appreciate ur service.
MTNL BSNL January 24, 2011 at 12:10 am
@Mustan
MTNL BSNL is a normal subscriber of MTNL, who knows everyone of MTNL, BSNL Mh circle higher authority who are eveready to listen & act positively upon subscribers grievences, I am utilizing my relations for positive purpose, we can say it’s help to our MTNL & BSNL loyal subscribers. Most of them are happy on our work. For e.g Dayle Soares(Charkop CSC no sim cards), Amit M (Maker tower) & many more who interacted with MTNL RF team & discussed about network issue. Most of the issues are closed by MTNL RF team after getting sms from us. If anyone from TT readers/Experts not want me here then kindly comment on this, we will stop it. Telecom talk reader require your comment on this if it’s positive or negative. Thanking you all who trusted on 9869347070 & my personal mail id. I got more than 10 emails rleated to BSNL, 20 smses about Data card, 3G low speed etc are in the process, everyone will get response from MTNL & BSNL in next couple of days.Till then bye.
Abhijit January 23, 2011 at 7:23 pm
Very true PD…And Why MTNL is discriminating between MTNL Delhi and MTNL Mumbai circle??
Because MTNL Delhi has Roaming @ 0.70ps/min plan while roaming in BSNL circles Nationally. Already this is posted on Telecom Talk talk also check this link http://telecomtalk.info/mtnl-delhi-launches-trump-rc53-and-new-sms-pack/48426/
So why only Mumbai MTNL subscriber has to roam with Rs.1.50/min from Roaming BSNL network nationally?? Whether MTNL thinks that Mumbai is richer city, so for them Rs.1.50/min from roaming is okk or they can afford it??
Mustan January 23, 2011 at 6:52 pm
Who is this mtnl bsnl person. We sure this is not some1 pulling our legs. It would be a great practical joke.
PD January 23, 2011 at 5:52 pm
Remove the DISCRIMINATIONS of subscribers between BSNL and MTNL. Let BSNL and MTNL come together for practical purposes and project a PAN-INDIA presence in the changed circumstances (I mean, MNP regime !) As for the present, as I mentioned, both are sure losers !
MTNL BSNL January 23, 2011 at 5:31 pm
Wait & watch we are going to add entire circle of BSNL & MTNL. Raghu Your complaint of BSNL network is escalated to concern dept of Andhra Pradesh circle. They will be contact you in next couple of days.

@Jayakrishnan
Well, I am staying outside NewPanvel limit -( keep in mind, just 200-250 METERS away from the limit of MTNL, but close a BSNL exchange)and all my MTNL sims goes into BSNL roaming intermittently. To avoid this MANUAL mode was set for Network Selection (for Cellone). So the problem is same like you face ! Further, whenever a call is made to any private operators Rs.1/50 is deducted (even with Rs.45 STV). Therefore took BSNL sims (with STV 69) too ! And lo ! Now in your boat by default ! You are unhappy while roaming MTNL’s boat, but we face problems even after having sims of both our PSUs. I am unhappy not only with MTNL but more BSNL because I have to live in the jurisdiction. Still I lose hope ! With a family of 6 members we have over a dozen sims/mobiles. All are active and purchased for experiments. It looks funny that for all practical purposes = we are floating on all the networks,use them scrupulously! [MTNL/BSNL/Vodafone/Tata (Both)/Reliance(Both)]. Everybody carry dualsim phones. Also note I have a land line of BSNL for exclusive use of broadband ! And sometime I get calls in this too !
As for BSNL -For a128k 3GUSIM I have had approached almost all including cmdbsnl@bsnl.co.in – but not the two email ids mentioned somewhere here – well will try later : pg_ap_gmo@bsnl.co.in & osdbsnl@bsnl.co.in
I don’t mean any offence to anybody from these PSUs. In this context MNP is helpful tool – I can do practical hop-stop-and jump with just one number !
Swapnil January 21, 2011 at 5:33 pm
@Jayakrishnan Please manually search the network select to other operator except Dolphin you will display no network access/access denied then select Dolphin & dial your own number, if you hear engage tone (Probable on BSNL subscriber)or The number you have dialed is busy please call after sometime then its OK if not then its completely issue origin from your MSC. If said number not responding with you then post your comment here we will offer you CGM & CMD BSNL number so always stay tune on telecom talk.
Swapnil January 21, 2011 at 5:26 pm
Hi PD as you look like a very sad subscriber of MTNL Mumbai, if you have issues related to MTNL network coverage in entire Mumbai city please send sms to 9869347070 we will get back to you with better option. Try to share your issues with us.
Swapnil January 21, 2011 at 5:21 pm
You just need to speak with your BSNL team, just snd sms to me regarding your complaint we will definitely check our roaming system & keep u updated on it. Send sms to 9869347070 & disclose your Mumbai circle location also speak to your BSNL MSC kolhapur team (9422050075, 9422050000, 9422801010) for this issue. It’s completely concerned to BSNL roaming system. Please revert.
Swapnil January 21, 2011 at 5:12 pm
Finally you got the MTNL MNP SIM card with full of respect. That’s a MTNL Mumbai Enjoy our best network coverage, UMTS services @ affordable rates. For any query please stay tune on telecomtalk, we are ready to help you anytime.
Jayakrishnan January 21, 2011 at 4:55 pm
Mr Swapnil,
Hope you are an ardent supporter of MTNL. But, I fully agree with PD. I am a BSNL customer and I am suffering lot due to that. When I am in BSNL area, everything is fine. Any one can catcht me. But I am out in MTNL area from 7.30 AM to 8 PM and is either difficult or impossible to catch me. When I complained with BSNL, they told me that when I go out I am catered by Dolphin of MTNL and their ntwork in some area is very poor and they can do nothing to solve this problem. I have some friends in MTNL and when I brought this matter to them, they advised me to jump out of the boat when MNP comes. Like “Videsh sanchar Nigam”, one day you can hear that MTNL is also swallowed by some blue whale. So if any one need a good service, whey to port into this sinking boat ? I am in the process of porting to a good serice provider. Offers announced by MTNL is only an eye wash. I am sure if anyone port to MTNL, they will repent and will be eagerly awaiting for 90 days to complete so as to port again to another good service provider.
Nitesh January 21, 2011 at 4:34 pm
For your all needs just send sms to pg_ap_gmo@bsnl.co.in & CC osdbsnl@bsnl.co.in; After 2 working days if you not received any reply from CMD office then just post your comment here, we will escalate it to cmdbsnl@bsnl.co.in
dayle January 21, 2011 at 4:21 pm
Nitesh i received the call from them, however i had already visited CSC where my problem was resolved see my response in this thread page 5

Hi Dayle MTNL CSC will call you for ur postal address, we are trying to offer you home delivery, pls don’t missed the call, your number has been sent to higher authority to deliver you MTNL SIM card, they will collect your document from home. Stay happy with MTNL Mumbai.
Nitesh January 21, 2011 at 4:09 pm
Dear Ankurji Your most welcome, We are here to resolve your network related issues on most priority basis whenever if its possible we closed 2 complaints in last 2 days & they are happy with current network coverage status.
dayle January 21, 2011 at 3:58 pm
Swapnil thanks for the effort put in by you and your team to get me this connection. It is unheard of where an operator goes through so much trouble to acquire a single PREPAID customer. I was shocked to have received a call from the area DGM and am in awe by the service provided by the charkop exchange team especially Kalpana they did a splendid job and I look forward to being on the network soon.
Please drop a note to the center in-charge that she has a fine set of staff working for her.
It is also great to know that senior officials of telecom companies use this forum to get feedback and more importantly act upon it.
Ankur Mhatre January 21, 2011 at 3:51 pm
Actually we have a unknown person with us to help in our issues regarding MTNL.
And moreover the fact is that we are getting reply from him.
Really thanks to that person who have connected us with MTNL team.
Ankur Mhatre January 21, 2011 at 3:45 pm
@Swapnil
Thanks you for the number of RF Team.
Ankur Mhatre January 21, 2011 at 3:44 pm
Ya friend. By a prepaid connection you can even enjoy 3G without any monthly fixed charges
Ankur Mhatre January 21, 2011 at 3:42 pm
Just by saying ” I m not happy with MTNL Network ” it is not possible to get a solution. Did you interacted in ANY of WAYS with MTNL RF Team ??? If Not PLEASE DON’T BLAME them.
When I had submitted the compliant about the network problem they replayed me in just a few hours.
You may get a phone number from telecomtalk.info’s old mtnl blogs. Try to search it and register your complient and enjoy strong network.
PD January 21, 2011 at 3:08 pm
@mtnl
I have few MTNL sims (purchased since 2004) that are being used by family members, unfortunately I am not at all happy with its network. Even if the cells are kept close by what I hear is the voice -Ami kshmatswah ahoot. To day, on a trial basis, I have initiated porting out process for one of the sims ! Still keep hope !
dayle January 21, 2011 at 11:12 am
i just wish mtnl had a cheaper deposit for isd and std that way i would have switched to postpaid vs choosing prepaid
4k deposit for isd and 500 for std is a little too high
good thing though all this is available without any deposit on prepaid
dayle January 21, 2011 at 11:07 am
@Swapnil thanks Swapnil, i tried calling you and have left you a message – would really appreciate if you could arrange for me to pick one up or deliver it to me. thanks. Dayle
Swapnil January 21, 2011 at 1:41 am
Is it true? FYI Pls Each Exchange have sufficient stock of SIM cards, CAF & top up coupons. If it’s true then we will look into it very seriously. Thanks for your feedback on Telecom talk. Just sms on 9869347070 we will try to arrange you the same to your nearby exchange on priority basis, home delivery if possible.
PD January 20, 2011 at 10:24 pm
@mtnl Thank you, For the first time I could see somebody (?) coming online in TT ! Still sorry to state that there is nothing new in these offers! All the special goodies are valid for just 30 days and the rest are already there in some form or other for quite sometime ! As far as the tariff plans are concerned MTNL scores over its competitors IN MUMBAI however all these goodies/offers are useful only within the courtyard (only for Mumbai and its metro limits – and some special locations). Though Mumbai/Mah/Goa are considered as ONE the MTNL subscribers get the beating whenever they crisscross within the areas even in Maharashtra State, leave alone Goa State !
I just got a msg from MM50500 “Thank you for your valuable patronage. Continue experiencing wider network coverage. 3G connectivity, best voice, video, and data tariffs only MTNL”
Is it not amusing ? Unexpected acknowledgements !- Better option would be that both PSUs (i.e.MTNL and BSNL) sit together and chalk-out uniform plans, more or less taking cue from the private operators. Else mtnl can see – Rats leaving the sinking ship !
The question still remain – Who is calling shots in these PSUs

Suppose a customer is not happy with PSU – MTNL’s services in Mumbai/Delhi (2 circles) – Who gains, of course any one of the private operators ! Similar is the case of BSNL in 20 circles. In either case the LOSER is PSUs ! This is the result of self destructive NON COMPETENCE AGREEMENT between them ! Absurd and shameful !If one interested in only PSUs for some reasons, then wait till the implementation of INTRA-CIRCLE NUMBER PORTABILITY (after 10 years ? True, as per the current status record !)

Dear Arunz, We already posted BSNL MNP Offer on 12th January check this post http://telecomtalk.info/bsnl-unveils-pan-india-offers-for-mobile-number-portability/53419/
Vinayak Pai January 20, 2011 at 7:57 am
SUrprised that even a PSU has woken up to a positive attitude with respect to MNP whereas our private sector “giant” RCOM has choosen to sleep over it????
kingston January 20, 2011 at 2:23 am

No one move to MTNL with this offer.. . . .

If mtnl cut d roaming charges for Mh Goa state then voda, airtel, idea, loop wil b d biggest looser after mnp. Need to launch this offer within week to pull unsatisfied subs toward mtn.
Abhijit January 19, 2011 at 8:20 pm
if above statement comes true then it will be best for me. Then my mtnl sim which is in sleep mode frm lst 6mnths will be as active number again.
Sanjay Bafna January 19, 2011 at 7:26 pm
@PD Don’t worry, the good offer are on its way !!
PD January 19, 2011 at 7:14 pm
Sanjay – please …. please …… get it and flash it. Many are waiting on the wings !!! Now even with Rs. 45/- voucher (1 and 1/2 p roaming charges are in no way comparable with BSNL Rs. 69/- STV. Just if MTNL follow their patter it would give much relief !
Sanjay Bafna January 19, 2011 at 6:59 pm
@Abhijit MTNL Update to us : Per Second charges for National Roaming and some cool offer like BSNL will be launched with in 15-25 days
Abhijit January 19, 2011 at 6:29 pm
Very well said.. all living in surburbun area like Vasai- Virar, Ulhasnagar, Ambernath, Badlapur, Karjat, Khopoli area suffers a lot due to roaming Not only MTNL but Vodafone & Idea s hould also stop now roaming charges between Mumbai & Rest of Maharashtra circle from now.. Loop will remove roaming only, when there own Loop network will get establish in Maharashtra circle I think so..
Swapnil January 19, 2011 at 6:29 pm
Great offer for all private operator’s subscribers. Invest Rs 10 & get Rs 91 Plus 3G experience, video call @ voice call rates.
Only 4 complaints of network overage received from dolphin telecom talk readers, for that MTNL team already working on it & will be radiate the towers in next 15 days. Great coverage with lowest call rates, no cheating, no unwanted calls, no fake activation of VAS i.e. MTNL Mumbai. Superb offer to grab more subscribers
Ajay January 19, 2011 at 6:24 pm
Sanjayji really a great news, pay per sec in roaming wow gr8 for all MTNL subscribers. Also heard that they are going to offer from MTNL Landline to one MTNL gsm mobile number unlimited free, will launching soon. They are upgrading the system for that.
Ajay January 19, 2011 at 6:20 pm
Please click on link http://mumbai.mtnl.net.in & write your query on MNP page, CC will call you back.
GAURAV JHA January 19, 2011 at 6:20 pm
psu’s got a freakin offer. Goin to port my old reliance smart 98 series no. To bsnl.
Ajay January 19, 2011 at 6:15 pm
Sab kuch de diya as a welcome kit for private operator subscribers who really want to port to MTNL Mumbai, soon MTNL will launch mobile to Landline one number free. That time these subscribers will get benefited, Ek baar jo MTNL ko port karega woh dubara kahi bhi port nahi karega
Ajay January 19, 2011 at 6:12 pm
Absolutely agreed on your comment
Sanjay Bafna January 19, 2011 at 6:12 pm
@PD They are going to launch cheapest per second National Roaming tariff with in next few days (20-25 days)
PD January 19, 2011 at 6:00 pm
And once you are PORTWS-IN : Pay heavily (through nose !) whwnwcwe you cross their courtyard, i.e. Mumbai and Delhi. – The Mumbaikar suffers a lot. Most of the middle class people who can’t afford to have a home in the city limits (limit of MNTL too) stay in and around the metro limit and work for their livelihood in Mumbai and commute up and down crisscrossing the metro limits ! Unkeliye MTNL bilkul sahi nahi hai ! MNP offers no Offers !
Abhijit January 19, 2011 at 5:50 pm
Also in that MNP offer if national roaming charges were also at 1ps/sec while roaming in BSNL circles then it would be best offer to port in!!
Amar January 19, 2011 at 5:48 pm
Nice Offer!!!
