You can”t expect such plan @99 from them…

@Amit.g
so what is your opinion on Idea . is it good or bad?
Amit.g September 27, 2010 at 2:14 pm
Mr ARJUN AWARA yest i travelled from Hubli to BAngalore in Intercity Express train & Ter was very very less coverage in AIrcel & uninor infact out of 469kms overall u get signal for 50kms, But Idea’s coverage was awesome network went for only 10kms out of 469kms & i was using internet in journey.
One thing i got to know is Idea’s Gprs was super fast in villages & also towns like ranibennur, harihar,haveri, I used to get around 34KB/sec(270kbps) in villages & these towns but never got tat speed in hubli. In bangalore i get upto 20KB/sec.
Idea’s net speed is good wher it has covered places after it acquired Spice telecom. Spice installed towers still give poor voice clarity & slow surfing speed. Even voice clarrity was superb in those places as compared to Hubli & few areas of bangalore city

Wat a pathetic network sirji !!

hiren September 27, 2010 at 1:46 am
Tata Docomo Don’t have any cheaper plans than 299 like reliance and other have as 99 / 150/200 rs for law monthly user they need to launch it because I have docomo postpaid plans of Rs299 and Rs 50 for gprs plan but here in ahmedabad network is very bad let tell me how it is
first it almost show no network and there is network found than it constantly changing sometime full and next second 1 point which drain my cell’s battery faster than ever
second whenever I want to call someone it always show network busy I need to redial twice or thrice minimum for one call
third if call get connected than same old voice problem opposite person never hear me clear with docomo network
fourth if I get call from someone it also have same issue of voice clarity and I need to keep another phone handy with me because almost time there is no network and I have to use docomo’s great facility of free call forwarding if there is no network which is really works every time for me. when I go to change my plan they said they dont have any plan with less value and if I want to change it to prepaid I have to wait for at-least for 3 month so I forcefully have to use another number for get in touch with my friends If I complaint docomo they said your problem will resolve in some days but after 2 months problem is still here some time their executive call me to pay my bill and most time call get disconnected one of their executive had promise me to give me 50% discount in my bill till my problem get resolved and as I do last month I pay my 50% bill but recovery call don’t stop harassing me they constantly ask me to clear my 50% dues and I am ready to pay it but what about docomo’s commitments if there is no network of docomo than what is use of docomo’s plans so I really like plans of Idea with good network I will think to switch to Idea but wait for MNP if docomo is reading my problem here please resolve it

anandh September 26, 2010 at 10:36 pm
combined plan good for all but 249 rs seems to little bit higher. if it is 149 it will rock. think idea.
PPA September 26, 2010 at 9:31 pm
This offer is very useful for those who use both grps and sms in there mobile. becoz for that case call charge will be almost 45p/min(0.45*400+30+40=250)
*30 for sms pack
*40 for gprs pack
Bt for the person who use his mobile only for calling purpose this offer will meaningless to them, for that case call charge will be 62.5p/min
Bt overall i will say it is a good offer specially postpaid users bocoz in most of time postpaid call charges and gprs charges is much higher than prepaid.
Abhijit S September 26, 2010 at 8:41 pm
@Arif
yeah,, n free gprs usage is 512MB only!
I think idea’s NEW PSB postpaid plan is also good.. a rental of 199rs. with 12000 local/std secs free with 200sms.. and all calls @ 1p/s after that and sms 30p l @ n!
Idea is really coming up with new good plans!Hope to see more good plans in future!

@Nilesh Patel
ALL OPERATORS EXCEPT AIRTEL AND VODAFONE PROVIDING THIS OFFER
Nilesh Patel September 26, 2010 at 5:45 pm
who operator has got this plan?????
Nilesh Patel September 26, 2010 at 5:43 pm
Plan is good value for money,i like it, NIce move, hope all the operators come up with something similar or better
SIVA September 26, 2010 at 5:04 pm
I think still mobile operators are not in afraid of MNP.
Abdul Rashid Abdulla September 26, 2010 at 3:48 pm
In Kerala, this plan is termed as “Houseful plan” , but only 512MB free GPRS is available here. Considering the fact that IDEA has a pretty good network in Kerala (with Siemens hardware) and an excellent field team, this plan is worth it. Also Idea is the only operator in Kerala that offers “Dual mode transfer multi-slot class 11″ support which allows for simultaneous voice calls and browsing in GPRS/EDGE network. In lay mans term, when you are browsing and if you receive a call, you can still browse while you talk.
Arif September 26, 2010 at 2:55 pm
The same plan also available in Maharshtra & Goa circle with the name HOUSE FULL plan.
@santu.
Yes plan is not very attractive but at least Idea started the full talk value plan in postpaid. In future will see better full value plan in postpaid segment.
AmitS September 26, 2010 at 2:52 pm
Now we are entering into the era of Indian MNP.
Raghu September 26, 2010 at 2:41 pm
yes after a long time i have seen Idea launch good offers.
santu September 26, 2010 at 2:38 pm
not good at all. because paying 249, one can get only 400 minutes(call rate .62/min) & 400 sms. forget about using 1 gb gprs with merely 2-3kbps speed. what the use of introducing this sort of faltu plans?
what a bakhbaas idea sirji…
Arif September 26, 2010 at 2:34 pm
Now it is time for postpaid. Like prepaid, now we will see postpaid offers and plans. Everyone will follow Idea soon and all over India. Now see the fun in postpaid segment. Idea started the war.
Keshav Jha September 26, 2010 at 2:33 pm
Is type ke offer khoob chalenge kyonki isme complete package hai. Good offer from Idea.
Guess September 26, 2010 at 2:16 pm
Vodafone will hopefully come up with good plans only after the implementation of mobile number portability. On second thoughts, we cannot expect anything good from Vodafone.
Chakshul September 26, 2010 at 1:52 pm
A Good Offer From Idea After A Very Long Time !
Awara September 26, 2010 at 1:38 pm
THIS IS A FALTOO PLAN COPYING FROM OTHER OPERATORS
