surtej June 16, 2011 at 7:34 am
@selvam Thanks friend.BSNL is going to revise/rationalize its prepaid plans from 21.06,2011.I aldy had a BSNL Punjab general in which local call is @ 49 paise but STD/SMS and roaming is too high, so have to take new all@ 49 plan, Now validity will be as per top up
selvam June 15, 2011 at 10:12 pm
@rajiev why not man now it is giving 3minutes a call all over india in LL..in mobile we hav to put some boosters..also one year rental plan for 1200+tax with 50 calls free per month ..in MOBILE that too PVT operators we are paying and we are paining ourselves (since they are over beeming signal strenth I think..bcoz they are having lesser towers but covering MORE it is unbeleivable)..how it is no expert comments on this issue in TT
selvam June 15, 2011 at 10:04 pm

Surtej June 15, 2011 at 7:58 pm
Worst most cc of Reliance.You cant expect any resolution from them.Reliance and Airtel are master in deduction of balance by activating unwanted services without consent of customer and you cant get reversal

BSNL MOBILE is the best operator in kerala…. both in 2G and 3G
MTS Kerala User June 15, 2011 at 12:18 am
airtel CC is bad, but no way would they be making such calls, they would face definite legal notice. You might be joking.
Raghu June 15, 2011 at 12:13 am
@Proximus
So BSNL and Idea are the best in Kerala. how is the customer care of Docomo?
Proximus June 14, 2011 at 11:57 pm
Most of the customers are porting out from Airtel & Docomo because of their poor service,Airtel’s customer Care is the worst customer care in Kerala.
MA June 14, 2011 at 11:44 pm
Really really fed up with airtel. Bought new connection and I’m receiving spam calls every half an hour (!) Had to switch off my phone.
MA June 14, 2011 at 11:40 pm
Caller: “SIR PLEASE COME HERE, MY WIFE COMMITTED SUICIDE”
Me: hello??
Caller: get 2 play pranks like this n many more! dial blah blah blah …for HELLO TUNES.
Which operator can play such dirty trick? airtel.
Raghu June 14, 2011 at 11:11 pm
@Agnivo
in cities the coverage and voice clarity will be good. but if u go into villages the coverage is not that good. so if u are trying as secondary number first buy a sim of Uninor and then check thouroghly then only port.
Raghu June 14, 2011 at 10:48 pm
@Vicky
reliance CDMA is much better compared to Docomo as far as quality of voice is concerned and coverage.
Raghu June 14, 2011 at 10:47 pm
@Vicky
to which network are u going to port out from Idea?
vineesh June 14, 2011 at 9:49 pm
idea Kerala mnp offer
idea to idea 20 ps/min [sec billing]
idea to others 30 ps/min [sec billing]
ISD sec billing
std sec billing
how is it
selvam June 14, 2011 at 9:42 pm
@arif sure I second it ..since i am using BSNL after it started ..in starting some problem conjetion not now and trouble free.. before i used BPL which is costly charging for even incoming calls..after BSNL only they hav stopped incoming charges..BSNL only came with incoming for day one..there stood first BSNL which is relaiable..
Agnivo June 14, 2011 at 9:13 pm
Anyone ported to Uninor? How was the experience?
PD June 14, 2011 at 9:04 pm
Beware, you are forewarned !
The figure of over 84 lakhs subscribers unhappy with their erstwhile service providers its show what ails the telecom services in the country. Now the unhappiness is seen only at the inter-circles levels as of now and if MNP extended to intra-circles the figures will be much more astonishing ! The reasons could be many.
But this has a peculiar fall out or call it a side effect. These subscribers carry their same number but lose their conventional and unique identity of their service providers. This, if viewed in other perspective, will inadvertently make a dent/hole in the accrued talk time balances of their (incoming) callers specifically if they just go by the conventional numbering pattern and make calls to these to 84 lakhs subscribers ! The blow will be severe if the callers subscribe to the MOST WIDELY PREVALENT AND MUCH HYPED “on-net calls” anticipating cheap call rates offered by almost all the operators and bolte, bolete rehengey… !. The recipient (Ported-in) operators get the most benefits slyly and the loser will be of course to the unwarranted callers, be it friends, relatives or others !
Any solution to come out of this identity crisis ? This is a point to ponder !!!! To certain extend the popular “MNP operator codes” updated by Duan (in TT)when read with the end-note regarding Location Routing Number (LRN) will help. But it has its own limitations.
Interestingly Vodafone, in Mumbai, had from the very beginning of the MNP, offered a solution, to confirm or rather to promote (?), on-net calls – subscribers in Mumbai can send an sms to 111 (tolfree)- “ISVFspaceNUMBER” (without quotes) !
Better others too follow some similar ways !
abhijith June 14, 2011 at 7:28 pm
in kl IDEA have better network. @Vicky
saurabh gupta June 14, 2011 at 7:01 pm

tejas June 14, 2011 at 2:32 pm
ye 3g auction ne sari companies ko lukkha bana diya hai…now they are cash starved and so theres no improvement in their services inspite of so many dissatisfied customers. aur maze ki baat ye hai ki 3g services to start ho gayi hai but not many users due to the high charges and handset costs.
Prosenjit June 14, 2011 at 2:24 pm
Vodafone is best operator.

Manoj Thakur June 14, 2011 at 12:55 pm
In Himachal, Porting out from Reliance is a big headache. A friend of mine who wanted to port out from Reliance and take BSNL. Firstly, when he requested for the UPC via SMS, they didn’t send him code but after calling customer care 3-4 times they provided it. He filled up the port in form at BSNL CSC & after formalities they gave him a new sim card saying taht it will be activated when old sim card will be deactivated from Reliance’s end. But 1 week passed but the new sim didn’t activated. When he called BSNL CSC, they told him to deactivate the old sim from reliance. Then he called Reliance Customer Care that what is the reason for not deactivating the sim card, they told him that he need to visit their CSC for deactivating the old sim & it is the procedure to leave the Reliance. I have ported from Aircel to BSNL but there was no such problem they simply deactivated my old sim card after 2 days.
Surtej June 14, 2011 at 12:50 pm
Hi All Friends
I am much frustrated for activation of unwanted services and deductions almost every month by Reliance and Airtel
Please suggest me which network is reasonable fair and good in network and tariff local and STD to switch
Thanks & Regards
