    @ Anuj or anybody using !dea in M&G circle
    one !dea is buy a !dea sim card from mumbai circle with these offers and use it in maharastra circle since !dea is leader in Maharastra and not giving any offers like !dea mumbai circles. Now it is same if one uses sim card of Mumabai OR M&G once roaming is free between these 2 circles

    I am waiting for Idea to Launch Friends and family scheme in Maharashtra & Goa like in Airtel and Vodafone. My fiance cannot change her Idea no. and she calls me 60ps per minute. and i had to switch to Aircel which is offering the lowest tariffs in Maharashtra. We both could save a lot if Idea provided calling to specific no at 20ps. but it dosent :-( . I still have my Idea no active just waiting for the day when Idea will think about their Maharashtra and Goa Customers.
