I have change from BSNL to Idia thinking that ots coverage will be good as per SIRJIS”GET IDAI”Advt.
But experience is that its a loot.”Cutting pocket of costumers”
they send sms to u that u r subscribe to Cricket etc Rs 3 will be charge for return sms and start cutting Rs 5/-each day,also like this many services they starts without our permission

Useless Offer!
Wake up Sirji
Many might have switched to other operators.
Even Airtel in maharastra has been offering all calls at 1p/s since last 6 months.
Idea has come up with the offer just last month and again u have to recharge with
Rs. 64 to convert from 1.2p plan to 1p/s plan.
IF MNP [by some Magic] gets implimented in july, Idea maharastra will be a major looser.

Idea Maharashtra now also introduce All Flat @ 50ps/min plan with RC 57 with one year tariff validity without any first minute condition or any first minute at base rate and applicable for all local,std calls & also for local & national sms at 0.50ps from first minute itself.
Previously condition was first min for local was Rs.1/min & Rs.1.5/min for Std then afterwards all @0.50ps/min
And also introduce all calls flat @1ps/sec for local & Std calls with RC 64 with 25 talktime with one year tariff validity.
Previously only local & std Idea number were at 1ps/sec and other local & std calls were charged at 1.2ps/sec
So Finally Idea waked up for competition, which is been already created by other operators in Maharashtra circle
Now its time for Idea to introduce some decent GPRS packs for Maharashtra circle with 30 days validity…
