    Thats what I am saying here about Idea Maharashtra & Goa. It has very expensive tariffs, worst customer care & regular network congestion problem. I am sure that within next few months, Airtel & Vodafone will overtake Idea in M&G circle.

    I guess Idea lacks funds, it dosent have enough funds to do any thing.. just look the speed of its pan india operation like a snail it wasent in all the 4 metros also.. poor idea. Idea only know to take out some very seriously stupid ideas like walk whn u talk with the flop actor. God knows who wil give this company an idea to stay in the market.
    Docomo and Aircel have good tariffs in maharashtra and goa. we might see these two company’s taking the top positions within few years if they dont get enough competion from Airtel and Vodafone.
