    Dear Idea cellular,
    Please don’t just regret for the inconvenience caused to your customers, I think idea charges for data on Roaming, so be frank and tell the customers that idea network charges for data roaming in other circles.

    If possible work towards it, so that the benefits is received by the customers on roaming and data is counted from data pack.

    Regards

        Sirs – This TT is a blog and the comments/complaints/suggestions- one way or other when addressed by the concerned will be helpful others who read them. IF u hijack the problem and whether solved or not, others on TT will be in dark. In my view at least generic answer is expected rather than a “Call-center-ic” reply with Ref. No. is unwarranted.

    It is horrible network. If you take prepaid 3g bundled plan. The speed will be so slow, that the data will not be used even 50% in prescribed time limit. And if your time limit expires, the speed will increase and your balance will be consumes by Rs.300 to Rs.400 per hour. As the rate is so high. I took 1GB data plan with validity of 30 days. In 30 days, only .5GB was used and when I used after 30 days, in one hour, 8mb data and Rs 160 was deducted by Idea network. And when I asked they tell me simple mathmatics @2ps/Kb for 8mb is Rs.160.

    Hi ,
    I am in roaming and I have recharge of 148 plan for unlimited access of internet after calling from IDEA customer care and he suggest me recharge with 148 for Internet pack.
    When I access internet approx 2 hours, my all balance(approx 330 + 148) was lost. I am very frustrate.
    When i call IDEA Customer care , then he said me your mobile number is not in Delhi Region while my number belongs from Delhi Region and after that he disconnect my call.
    Really very very very bad service. Sure I will quit service from this company when i back to Delhi.
    -Thanks?

    I thought Idea 3G would be a better one, thought they might provide us with flexible plans, contrary to our expectation they published a plan which is not feasible for a general user like me, they must learn from other service providers, how they are getting customers by offering them flexible plans. And also coverage during the daytime is very bad.

    If you want to buy it, take it on your own risk!

    30 x 60 = 1800 sec (total time)
    2150 x 1800 = 3870000 Kb (total kilo bits possible)

    1. Nokia C5 with BSNL 3G Sim
    2. BSNL 3G Datacard of 7.2Mbps

  • Anurag Bhatia March 30, 2011 at 11:13 pm

    @Girish

    In speedtests = yes, you fill find 10.2Mbps HSDPA fast in comparison with 7.2Mbps dongle, but based on current high rates of 3G, it hardly matters!

    In real, 10.2Mbps, will give you a real world peak of somewhere like 2.5-3Mbps, while datacard will give somewhere close to 2Mbps.

    I would say speed is insignificant because:

    1.Soon 5Mhz spectrum will be choked and you will find all networks to be slow. Somewhere close to 1Mbps.

    2.Rates are way to expensive, so you won’t really download any data. 2Mbps or 3Mbps ….doesn’t matters unless you download lot of data.

    My advise = use cell phone via datacable, and if wire is hastle, use bluetooth (slow, but again doesn’t matters). I won’t recommend investing anything over 2kRs in a 3G based datacard, when BSNL is about to get aggressive with WiMax, followed by launch of Reliance Infotel (over TD-LTE) in a couple of months.

    Hope that will help!

    1.Why namebench fails? What exact problem you are having with it?

    2.Try pinging 8.8.8.8 for 10mins and tell how much is packet loss.

    i think idea is providing the costliest 3g tariff… Just 5gb for 1750rs… Compare it with other operators tariffs…

  • Saravana March 29, 2011 at 9:12 am

    Hi frinds.
    Why compare with BSNL and MTNL Tariff? Compare with other private operator and see.

    Sanjay ji,
    Can we get a comparision chart of telecom circle wise price and speed of 3G operators. This will be benificial for prospective people who plan to move to 3G.

    Why should any one opt for these plans where we will get Greate coverage and very reasonable pricing in BSNL(2p/10KB). Only problem i feel in BSNL is customer care… But BSNL has all india 3G coverage(no roaming issues), even in tier2 and tier3 towns it has 3g coverage…

    Rates are too high compared to BSNL. BSNL gives 0.5 GB monthly for Rs. 275. Extra usage charge of BSNL is 2 paise/10 KB whereas IDEA rate ranging from 5 paise to 10 paise for 10 Kb. 1 KB is equivalent to 8 kb. Thus IDEA Charges forty times higher comparing to BSNL.

    Time based plan in actually good, because while using opera mobile for browsing the connection is on till the website is loading as soon as page is loaded it goes offline.
    On 3G it takes just 2 seconds to load a page, I have used it on BSNL 3G.

    I think the Pvt Operators are gonna suck customers with such costly services, BSNL and MTNL with such cheap rates shud have benefitted from this with MNP in place, but due to their poor Customer Services and bad Networks and outage and downtime and connectivity, they are loosing the mximum customers, Wake UP BSNL and MTNL, pvt operators are making life easy for u, get up and get good services
