@Kaushik Roy
@ KAUSHIK +1 agree with you friend. However this ‘bribing’ of retailers is not sustainable, IMHO.
>> Uninor is leading due to high commission paid to retailers

Well I Can Prefer Idea for Quality and Coverage. Even BSNL is Also Excellent. Uninor is Very Bad in Coverage so Who Can Use Uninor? Especially They are Using Uninor Offers Like Banana and Throwing Sim Cards Like Banana Peel. Especially Uninor Coverage Is Worst Than Aircel in Karnataka.

original figure- only 32% active customer of uninor.
uninor network not good, recharge cupon also sell not high.
but, uninor activation commission for retailar is very good (best in our telecom industry).
so this result….

Idea is offering the cheapest rate of 1p/Sec for all L/N Calls, all L/N Sms @60p without any STV in 2G ICR areas with Roaming on Aircel. Its the best. Also offering Full TalkTime in 2G ICR here.

uninor n idea are leading simply coz of the customer frndly rates n quality services being offered by them. vodafone is lagging behind…no spl offers no spl response…tit for tat.
