@All
HA HA!! Look today’s “Ananda Bazar Patrika” front page.A big advertisement of !dea.No advt of TATA DoCoMo til date published in any leading daily.
Cud ny1 update me about the idea network, its horrific in north kolkata, infact cudnt get the Rs.51 recharge done, the retailor asked me to hand him back the sim card.Plz update about the same in other parts of the city. Pehele call to connect hone de uske bad free calls ke bare me sochenge……..
Unlimited GPRS for a day @ Rs. 25 in Kolkata circle. Really expensive.
Idea Kolkata is offering 200 Local+National SMS free for 30 days @ Rs. 27/- to it’s prepaid subscribers.
From my usage I see that Idea has a high percentage of call-drops in Kolkata (any place). This is something that they have to work on. All the other operators (GSM +CDMA including Tata Docomo and Smart GSM) do not have such high volume of call-drops. However, their SMS channels and Customer Care lines are excellent. Good going so far Idea.
Reduction of idea to idea std call rates wil help to get more customers and that gød for customers
