    Yes it is true, Idea does not allow 2g & 3g data usage packs in roaming, so idea 3g and even 2g is waste, guys who travel frequently first of all, left idea, i highly recommend use of airtel, vodafone n bsnl in roaming.

    Abhijit :

    akhilesh :
    waht is use of 3.5G /HSPA +
    Signal while speed is Normal
    Airtel & reliance & Docomo is giving Real 3G speed (7.2mbps to 28mbps)
    Idea Only spendind for making money from its user
    Low quality service in high rate
    ——-
    Idea Spreads 3G may Across INDIA
    but useless bcoz of its poor speed (3.6mbps) all india

    And also I would like to add one Point.. Idea 3G data pack does not work in Roaming Idea network too…
    Where as Airtel & Vodafone at least allows 3G data usage even if we are in roaming on Same vodafone or Airtel licenced 3G area.
    In 2G also Idea do the same, none of the GPRS pack works on roaming Idea network.. So from that moment I have Left Idea & now using BSNL 3G & Vodafone 2G for data access from roaming.

    In Kerala idea is no. One network and it has more subscribers.but it’s offer and tariff is very high. When 3G concerns bsnl have good tariff and plans. Last month onwards idea showing negative growth in kerala. But bsnl increasing its subscribers base drastically and become no.2 network in Kerala by pushing down Vodafone. I think bsnl become no.1 network in Kerala within 4 or 5 month.
