The much awaited Mobile Number Portability (MNP) finally launched in Haryana. The MNP service inaugurate by the Union Minister of Communications & IT Mr. Kapil Sibal by making the inaugural call to Shri Bhupindrer Singh Hooda, the Chief Minister of Haryana from a ported mobile number in function held at Rohtak city.
Speaking on the launch of Mobile Number Portability (MNP) Mr. Kapil Sibal said that first phase of the MNP has been launched today in Haryana and customers in the state now have the option of changing their service provider without changing their mobile numbers.He said the choice based services initiate healthy competition among service providers which ultimately benefits ‘Aam Aadmi’.
The mobile number portability (MNP) will be launched across India by January 20, 2011. For orderly technical migration of complex interconnected networks, each of the remaining service areas will be migrated one by one on alternate days. This will enable simultaneous validation of technical parameters and removal of any problems arising from migration activity to ensure successful and smooth migration of a service area. Migration activities will not take place during the festival season at the end of December, 2010.
The Union Minister of Communications & Information Technology, Shri Kapil Sibal launching the Mobile Number Portability for a Country wide roll out beginning from Haryana Circle, at Rohtak, Haryana on November 25, 2010
As earlier we shared on TelecomTalk, customer will have to pay a maximum of Rs 19 to the new operator to change network via MNP as Porting charges. However the new operator has the option to waive off the MNP fee or reduce it.
Presently BSNL and Tata Docomo announced their attractive MNP offers with freebies. Wherein subscribers can switch to BSNL at FREE of cost while Tata Docomo charged Rs.19 for number portability service.
To avail the MNP service subscriber needs to send SMS PORT followed by 10 Digit Mobile Number to 1900 and they will get UPC porting code by SMS after that they need to submit CAF (application form) and MNP form with UPC to desired new service provider.

@Rahul Gupta
is this true and applicable to Pan India- customer care calling to Airtel free
Rahul Gupta April 14, 2011 at 2:19 pm
The primary and most important outcome that can happen out of MNP would be the King Size treatment that customers can get from their service providers.
Airtel used to charge for talking to their customer service representative when you call the Airtel Customer Care number. They have decided to roll that back ! Thanks to MNP !!

Guy’s we have been waiting for this for last few years, when TRAI coined the term MNP (Mobile Number Portability). Recently telecom Minister of India Mr. Kapil Sibal has released Mobile Number Portability (MNP) in Haryana as part of initiative.
Cheers to the new era of Freedom from worthless operators. Its all started today.

It’s an open secret that Airtel-Vodafone-Idea CARTEL is behind the MNP delay. These sadist b****** are so incompetent & fearful that they have the capacity and capability to influence DoT and Telecom Ministry by giving them ‘prasad’ to delay MNP even for the next few years. So few months delay is nothing for them. F**** these anti-consumer b********.

Count 100 days from 25-11-2010.It will end on 04-03-2011.So launch not later than 04-03-2011 in any circle if not possible due to any technical reason from 20-01-2011(As he says within 100 days)
PD January 2, 2011 at 12:18 am
Significance not yet lost ! Many of the subscribers have more than one sims cards and still with few others 2-3 sims all purchased to find a satisfactory calling network set up. They are invariably being used, my case for e.g., by comparing tariffs and other utility considerations. Thus the real effect will be that many such sims may not be continued in active state. Further the handset manufacturers will also be get effected because the demand of dual-triple sim cards sets will lease demands ! Anyway let the it come first !
Manoj Abhigyan January 2, 2011 at 12:13 am
You said it very well PD.
I had read of Addison that he began his maiden speech in the House of Commons, repeating ‘I conceive’ three times, and when he could proceed no further, a wag stood up and said, ‘The gentleman conceived thrice but brought forth nothing.’
As quoted by Gandhiji in his autobiography ‘My Experiments With Truth’.

With a prosperous Happy New Year 2011 to everybody here I am asking few question regarding MNP.I need lights from experts. Here are they:-
1) When MNP will launch in Kolkata Service Area? Within 20th January 2011 is GOVT. deadline.
2) Can any Prepaid Mobile Subscriber will be able to port his number to other operator?
3) If prepaid subscribers are able to port their Number what will be happen his un-utilized talk-time balance after shifting of operator?
4) If somebody send “port” sms to the leftee (from whom he want to shift) operator but do not take any initiative (just forget what to do) what will be happen? Will that existing operator cancel his SIM card?
Experts Kindly Throw up Lights Here.

I own Airtel (Punjab) and Vodafone (Punjab) & I was there for few days in September this year. I called Tata Indicom and RCDMA in UP(E) Airtel charged me 1.2/sec and vodafone 1/sec.
Moreover Videocon is a new service provider in Punjab circle in collaboration with HFCL (Infotel), I could not get sufficient inputs about it in such a short period.
ashR December 4, 2010 at 6:33 pm

dont buy videocon for chandigarh its indoor network sucks at many places….
a retailer in sec-17(chd) told me that videocon is big flop in chandigarh…
and who told u that airtel tariff in chd is 1.2p/sec…..
.

anyways videocon rocks in Haryana

when you shifted to aircel, all aircel offers are applicable or any 1 offer has to be selected???@dskushwaha
dskushwaha December 4, 2010 at 9:10 am
Is it true that Videocon offers 3000 mins free Local calls and thereafter Local & STD calls at 0.01 paise/per sec by purchasing the Rs.395 Videocon Tariff Voucher with a validity of 365 days.

How is the network of Videocon in Chandigarh? It offers Unlimited onnet STD for 30 days at Rs. 249, offnet STD at 45p/min.
I think it is worth taking provided it has good network, voice clarity and customer care.

@sathish
Good idea but will it be possible to give this facility only in rural places??? because in urban no operator likes to share revenue
Manoj Abhigyan December 3, 2010 at 7:02 pm
You are right friend. Something like this suggested TRAI but operators opposed it.
sathish December 3, 2010 at 6:52 pm
If possible, Can we access any available tower?
Nowadays Cell phone is one of our sixth finger, but if u take its rural network coverage is always very poor, practically all their networks coverage is not possible in rural areas / Villages.
Because of its cost is too high, Return On Investment (ROI) factor is wont allowed.
For e.g.:
Till today, in one village / rural area, BSNL Signal may always get full indoor coverage, in another village/rural area, Aircel Signal may get full indoor signal. In that situation other network users can’t access from availed tower.
Here are network is availed in good manner; but the tech or law or biz or companies has not allowed to accessing the availed network at free or cost (Like Roaming Charge).
Any body can think like this, but you are in national roaming this facility allowed by all network.
Very long time, this is one of the biggest spaces is there in Telecom industry.
Here also u applies Like ATM Card & ATM machine:
Any bank ATM holders are now allowed to access from any other bank ATM. here we consider ATM Card as SIM card, Any other ATM machine as other companies Tower.
So why not it apply in telecom sector.
How to solve it?
By making mutual agreements with all other network means it’s very cheap for both Telecom Operators as well as Customers. In this competitive telecom market scenario, Network consolidation or network sharing is another way to control the fixed cost.
What does u think about it?
Any body working in telecom sector means it will be better to know this more.
suhas prabhu December 3, 2010 at 6:22 pm
i feel tata indicom is awesome . it has got good network coverage and its 299 plan offers unlimited calls to all TATA networks(docomo,indicom,virgin cdma and gsm and tata walky) and everyday 30 mins to other local numbers and on sundays 60 mins . if any body is planning to opt for MNP facility then i feel TATA INDICOM is the right choice

In Assam it is 1p/sec and 1.2p/sec but per minute plan is better it offers 0.40p/min for local/STD.
dskushwaha December 3, 2010 at 11:19 am
Planing to shift to Chandigarh.
Please suggest good operator in Chandigarh which offers cheap STD or Unlimited STD and have good network.
DEEPAK December 3, 2010 at 11:01 am
anybody know schedule of other circle? plz intimate
ashR December 3, 2010 at 7:55 am
No dude airtel tariff is 1p/sec to all india….1.2p/sec pehle tha byt ab 1p/sec h
ARJUN CHANDRASHEKAR December 2, 2010 at 9:21 pm
@srinivas
I Think it Might Be on January Then Pls Request You To Not To Switch To AirTel Because The AirTel CC is Horrible as Kabul Jail. Better Go For Idea/UNINOR/Aircel/DOCOMO/VODAFONE
srinivas December 2, 2010 at 8:46 pm
HELLO FRIENDS TELL ME LAUNCH DATE OF MNP IN KARNATAKE CIRCLE ANYBODY KNOWS IT
DEEPAK December 2, 2010 at 1:30 pm
Sanjay ji plz confirm schedule for MP CG Circle. Plz confirm
Kaushik Roy December 2, 2010 at 11:24 am
Companies will be lowering their tariffs after few days with more preparation and knowing full details of MNP like porting,fees,new MNP SIM CARD
they are still to adjust to this MNP situation which is new to them
still many CC Exe. is not aware of this MNP
Manoj Abhigyan December 1, 2010 at 9:59 pm
If the reality of MNP offer of BSNL is this, its really not interesting.
Kaushik Roy December 1, 2010 at 9:53 pm
i mean not ready to lower tariffs
Kaushik Roy December 1, 2010 at 9:52 pm
So new operators are ready to lower tariff in Haryana ?
thats strange for operators like Docomo/Aircel which are new to these circles
dskushwaha December 1, 2010 at 9:50 pm
Per second plan in Airtel is also similar- A2A 1p/sec A2O 1.2p/sec
ashR December 1, 2010 at 9:21 pm
m not going to port my rgsm to BSNL bcoz m want to use only one number i.e. Airtel and m happy wid it….second reason if i want to port-in to BSNL they provide blank sim vid only 10 days validity and then i have to choose FRC of rs. 37 for one month validity….m pagal nhi jo one month validity ke liye rs. 37 ka rechg krvau…TT wid FRC 37 is Rs. 10 and additional TT Rs. 100(for one month)….
BSNL ka validity vala system bekaar h…
another reason:-
their tariff—– B2B 1p/sec…B2O 1.2p/sec(bakwaas)
ARJUN CHANDRASHEKAR December 1, 2010 at 8:51 pm

No Man, I Won’t Recommend Aircel as First One

Amit.G December 1, 2010 at 7:54 pm
In GSM segment for cheap tariff and best coverage i vote for idea. rc 299 1000MINS free to any network or rc 33 all calls @29p/m
Amit.G December 1, 2010 at 7:49 pm
Uninor is the only operator offering std calls as low as 20p/m and next comes idea 33p/m
Amit.G December 1, 2010 at 7:47 pm
@ARJUN CHANDRASHEKAR
Dude u feel tariff wise aircel is 1st???? noways interms of economical tariff First comes Uninor 2.IDEA 3.AIRCEL 4.DOCOMO 5.VODAFONE 6.AIRTEL
Manoj Abhigyan December 1, 2010 at 7:45 pm
By tariffs and coverage MTS ARJUN? Is MTS everywhere there?
PAVAN December 1, 2010 at 7:35 pm
AIRTEL CHARGING 10 RS FOR SMS OF MNP TO CHANGE THE NO.
ARJUN CHANDRASHEKAR December 1, 2010 at 7:32 pm
@Amit.G
I Think Karnataka’s Circle Will Be The Largest Winner in Mnp From The Following Factors
1.BY COVERAGE
A.AIRTEL
B.VODAFONE
C.IDEA
D.BSNL
2.BY TARIFFS
A.AIRCEL
B.TATA DOCOMO
C.RELIANCE
D.UNINOR
3.BY TARIFFS AND COVERAGE
A.MTS
B.TATA INDICOM
C.RELIANCE CDMA
Amit.G December 1, 2010 at 7:06 pm
Guys dont expect tariff to go down further as we are already enjoying 30p/m tariff and cheapest on net calls. Through MNP u can only expect good quality service as most of the telecom operators including new player uninor have clearly mentioned tat they are not going to reduce tariff further or else companies will go in loss as now few are making break-even!!!!
Kaushik Roy December 1, 2010 at 4:38 pm
I think Companies will be lowering their tariffs after few days with more preparation and knowing full details of MNP like porting,fees,new MNP SIM CARD

Kaushik Roy December 1, 2010 at 4:33 pm
I mean the process of porting from one number to another like from your RGSM to BSNL ?
is is still in progess or completed ?

Kaushik Roy December 1, 2010 at 3:00 pm
@ ASH R
whats the latest on Haryana MNP dude ?
dskushwaha December 1, 2010 at 9:36 am
At present Postpaid Customers do not switch operator as often as Prepaid ones. MNP may increase the number of such switch and this create competition among operators for Postpaid.
In long run this will bring down high cost Postpaid connection to Prepaid one.

Manoj Abhigyan November 30, 2010 at 1:45 pm
If I port my Airtel number to Tata Docomo and after using 3 months don’t recharge it for the next 6 months what will be the effect? I think Tata Docomo will cancel my number and alot it to someone else because it’s necessary to recharge atleast Rs.200 in every six months. That means my Airtel number will be property of Tata Docomo. Am I right friends?

You will be provided another SIM when you switch to another network. All the process is same as you are a new subscriber except your previous number. Your old SIM will be there with you and all the messages and contacts stored in SIM will remain. Read previous posts and comments carefully.
gobi November 29, 2010 at 3:57 pm
I stored my contact details in SIM , if i changeover to new network means then the contact details will be deleted or existing the same else. I need some clarification about this matter. And also for the change of network I need to fill the application and all or just send sms for some numbers.
Asif November 29, 2010 at 1:26 am
Mnp will change evereythig in mobile world. we are all just wating 4 it
dskushwaha November 28, 2010 at 11:11 pm
Yes! moreover BSNL has announce free roaming for data in all circles even in MTNL service areas also. Private players like DOCOMO are yet to announce roaming data rates even in their own licence area.
Ahammad November 28, 2010 at 10:54 pm
BSNL will be benefited more since it has bagged 3G in all the areas of its operation. Recently it has introduced some attractive plans and Special Tariff Vouchers (STVs). But it has not reached the needy people because of poor marketing measures and lack of sufficient advertising. Customer Care should also will have to be improved. In the long run, no doubt bsnl will be the gainer. All the recent happenings and controversies in the telecom sector now underline the necessity of a strong public sector. Tariff war will continue as long as bsnl stands strong.
Amruth November 28, 2010 at 9:23 pm
@Amit.G I afree with you. I had once balance deduction of Rs52 for some sms pack, without activating. I just emailed to nodal officer in karnataka regarding this issue within 3hrs i got call from vodafone saying sorry for inconvenience & they refunded. So far vodafone is good, now we have to see how they will respond to their old customer when MNP arrives here.
Amruth November 28, 2010 at 9:15 pm
@pavan No.. Any left over balance with your previous operator cannot be transfered to new operator. In short it’s just like getting new sim from network provider, only think you will retain your old number.
Amruth November 28, 2010 at 9:14 pm
@pavan No.. Any left over balance with your previous operator cannot be transfered to new operator. I short it’s just like getting new sim from network provider, only think you will retain your old number.
pavan November 28, 2010 at 7:12 pm
hi i had doubt on mpn can any clarify me
i would change my operator to another, any main balance is carry forward or its is lapsed.
dskushwaha November 28, 2010 at 3:20 pm
Using MNP to switch to anew operator is not just about call rates, Better Network Coverage, Call Connect/Disconnect Wrong Billing, Automatic activation of VAS & “Care for the customer” from “Customer Care” are also a deciding factor while choosing new operator.
dskushwaha November 28, 2010 at 2:37 pm
RGSM network is very poor. Moreover their 3 Simple plans (1p/sec, Rs. 1/3Min & 50p/min) are not so simple these days. Even Rs. 1/3Min has been converted to Rs. 1.2/3Min.
Asif November 28, 2010 at 1:37 pm
Dear friends after mnp all old oprater call rate low karenge .kynki unhe pata he unki income outgoing call se hogi. 85% sabhi ki call rate same hongi. agar hume same operater low call rate de to hum number kyon change karenge. wait and watch jadu of mnp. 2nd rahi network ke baat to vo hame old oprater de hi raha he so after mnp jaldbaji mat kare call rate jarur kam honge.

Raghu November 27, 2010 at 11:59 pm
@Amit.G
yes i definitely trust ur words. no problem of that sort. i have high regard for Vodafone. they have good coverage here also along with voice clarity in most of the places. but in AP as u know, Airtel and Idea are the best both in good coverage and voice clarity in most of the places in AP.
Santu Sovan Mandal November 27, 2010 at 11:57 pm
Yes Amit. I too agree. Vodafone has the nack of giving total compact network. In W.B, Vodafone is nearly unbeatable due to their complete coverage. Only they can demand that they have completed almost 99.9% with their coverage.
Amit.G November 27, 2010 at 11:43 pm
@Raghu
Trust me vodafone has got best coverage n clarity in karnataka and no bal deduction issues. infact they have put up towers in all national and state highways like every 20km u will find vodafone tower and even airtel wont provide full signal strength on highways u ll get 3-4bars but clarity of airtel is also best

how is vodafone voice clarity and coverage in villages of Karnataka??
Santu Sovan Mandal November 27, 2010 at 10:48 pm
If you don’t know surely, how can you say 39.9kB/s(the exact figure)???
If you know 39.9kB/s, why did you bluff saying 40-60kBps???
Amit.G November 27, 2010 at 10:46 pm
@Santu Sovan Mandal
he he he dude cool down i was just pulling tat guy, just observe if i say idea is bad in ten posts this guy also do the same thing and if i say it s very good even he starts turning towars idea saying it s a robust network. Frankly speaking for me uninor is the best and no operator can match its quality. and regarding coverage im sure tat it will cover rural areas in 2 years as their main focus is on rural india. No issues!!!!
Santu Sovan Mandal November 27, 2010 at 10:41 pm
Yeah. We all are waiting for your porting after completion.

The gprs speed can’t go beyond 50kB/s in case of a 2g network.
@Arjun.
Try increasing your basic knowledge before commenting.
Can you show me any speedtest result of your idea gprs????
For your kind info,theoritically a 2g network can support a maximum data transfer rate of 384 kbps. That means (384/8)=48 kB/s maximum(ideally, doesn’t happen practically.
Think about yourself man, expert expert chikne se koi expert nahi ban jate.

plz wait some days i will clarify when i port my RGSM to BSNL…..
in haryana except airtel all players are aggressive towards MNP….There is no sign of any ad frm Airtel regarding MNP…whereas vodafone, bsnl, TD,idea regularly posting their ad in newspapers to join their N/w….
at present Airtel, Vodafone, idea gives nothing to new customers which are intersted to porting in their networks…..whereas BSNL and TD gives some offers,….Aisa lagta h jaise MNP naam ki koi cheej launch hi nhi hui…..agar operator cheap tarriff provide nahi krenge to MNP ka kya fayda….
one thing more i want to say that max. people of haryana doesnt have knowledge abt MNP…..yaha ke logo ko bus ek kaam ata h Rs.5 me naya sim lo use karo or fenk do…..
Santu Sovan Mandal November 27, 2010 at 10:05 pm
@Arjun.
I don’t have any doubt over Amit.G & Ragu’s expertise. I have just asked them not to pamper you. Because you are so much biased. If you find Aircel has good coverage in your state, you just start commenting like they have “ROBUST NETWORK” compared to AirTel!!! I really have doubt over your expertise. Everytime you post(NO MATTER WHAT THE POST IS ABOUT), you have a comment over network coverage of Airtel is too bad in your region. Why??? Can’t you go to sleep without cursing Airtel???

@Amit.G
If you have idea sim, insert it in your mobile & check out the coverage & voice clarity. If don’t have buy one & check out. Why are you after Arjun? Is he the ceo of all telcos? Can’t you check your own?
@Raghu
Are you planning to shift to Arjun native place from AP? If yes, then request him to give his phone number & talk as you wish.
@Arjun.
Why do you give so much irrelevant comments? If idea is the no 1 operator so what? Have they hired you to talk this sort of rubbish endlessly? After getting good net speed for past two days how can you comment that their network is expanding? Don’t you think the reason is too much childish?From past 3 days you are talking about same thing again Post something which is informative like max.
Manjunatha November 27, 2010 at 9:32 pm
@Jayanth MP
But Idea Customer care?? their GPRS speed?? Call drops ?? VAS activations ?? Plan Migrations Without user Consent?? No Online recharges?? Charging for CC calls?? Who is going to answer all dis friends and I really don’t know why u guys are behind idea?? it is really bad experience being a idea customer?? It is really comfortable for net user to do online recharges rather standing in-front of retailer for petty recharges often.
Now they there giving full GPRS which can support Nimbuzz but four months back they still had horrible Wap connection… I hate idea

Jayanth MP November 27, 2010 at 9:18 pm

Hi raghu,coverage of idea is very very good. It has covered 19000 towns and villages in karnataka. even airtel covers less than idea. U KNOW WHAT 2 YEARS BACK IDEA HAD PRESENCE IN 3000 TOWNS AND AIRTEL HAD PRESENCE IN 17000 TOWNS AND NOW IDEA HAS CROSSED AIRTEL IN COVERAGE.

in kerala they are giving so many free sims.but their coverage is very poor.
Vicky November 27, 2010 at 5:21 pm
@Sathish
so we can expect some foreign telecom to take over their spectrum
They are just wasting it
atleast uninor can do well
Mane November 27, 2010 at 4:40 pm
Airtel charging rs 10 for this sms if you want to port off from airtel then your minimum account should be more than 10
Trai should attention it

Cheers Mobile(etisalat DB)(IND 405-922):
Past few months before Cheers Mobile was tested their networks(IND 405-922) in Chennai & RoTN Circle.
But Now I cant find their network. But now Cheers Mobile(etisalat DB)is under Govt Scanner due to Spectrum fraud.
Loop Mobile(IND 405-871):
They don’t have enough fund and they are struggling to start their network in new circles, sources said that they are looking Foreign player.
So that DoT, TRAI Prepares to Impose the Big penalty for Delayed Roll out for these player.
I think As per Guidelines
New Networks should start at least its network in 10% of each District(Licensed / given) Circle with in one year or otherwise they should pay penalty to govt based on Delay.

Strongly agree. Nokia, once a market leader is giving useless models (similar models with some changes makes a new model) and that too high price. I used to appreciate Nokia because of it S60 OS and robust design. Some important missing feature makes a good mobile useless. e.g. Nokia C3 has wifi but no data cable, Nokia E5 a good 3G phone don’t have front camera. Nokia C5 doesn’t look robust.
Samsung, now has come with a variety of models with good features in both CDMA and GSM segment.
ansh November 27, 2010 at 12:33 pm
disable your cell info display , i think your handset hanging problem is going to solve
rajiev November 27, 2010 at 12:15 pm
@Amit Karmakar
i also face same problem with my reliance UP sim
TREMERIN DSOUZA November 27, 2010 at 12:02 pm
@Amit.G
docomo sim have problems they also hang my Nokia 3500c, Sony Ericsson r300a.my friend working at nokia care advised to change the sim as tata docomo sim have some defects may be even your idea sim has same problem.
TREMERIN DSOUZA November 27, 2010 at 11:58 am
@Amit.G
AMIT replace the sim it is sim problem.
TREMERIN DSOUZA November 27, 2010 at 11:54 am
@Amit Karmakar
yes even i face the same problem with my docomo sim my phone hangs and even my friend faces same problem,i think it is manufacturing defect.
PD November 27, 2010 at 11:18 am
I am victim too of Docomo. Fortunately, I don’t get signal always – so removed the sim and now use voda. Complaints were registered thru their website (24×7), cc, and I had personally visited gallery too! – Same reply always – Network up gradation is in progress – Sarcastically I have to say that they can’t give 2glife and now with media hype they sell 3glife ! May be good for others (especially those who live in city hubs)
Manoj Abhigyan November 27, 2010 at 11:13 am
Its good idea Sirji…!
abhijith November 27, 2010 at 10:39 am
THANKS TO ALL . . But all private operators ill change their tariff when they become market leader . . So cant believe any one . . . So oly mobile number portability a way . . i think bsnl and airtel have to use till number portability launch. After that bsnl wil be primary number and secondary any of good operator . . How is my idea ?
sathish November 27, 2010 at 10:33 am
Hi friends,
1800 MHz GSM Network in Chennai & RoTN
1. Reliance GSM
2. TATA DOCOMO
3. IDEA
4. Uninor
5. Videocon
6. Cheers Mobile
7. Loop Mobile
900 MHz GSM Network in Chennai & RoTN
1. AIRCEL
2. BSNL MOBILE
900MHz & 1800 MHz GSM Network in Chennai & RoTN
1. Airtel (900 MHz in Chennai)
2. Vodafone (900 MHz in RoTN)
3. Vodafone (1800 MHz in Chennai)
4. Airtel (1800 MHz in RoTN)
All these 900 MHz GSM Network Coverage is much better & it’s only avail in Rural/Village Areas of TN. But its Voice Clarity is not good compared to 1800 MHz network.
All these 1800 MHz GSM Network Coverage is not available in 90% of Rural / Village Areas of TN. But its Voice Clarity is very good compared to 900 MHz network.

I Dont throw sim cards dost and moreover i save my contacts in pc. Wat i want to knw is wat is the prob with idea network which makes phones hang n restart. i never happens with other networks!!!!
Arjun. November 27, 2010 at 8:44 am

Better Go For Samsung Or Sony Ericsson Because These Mobiles are Better Than NOKIA Nowadays. Don’t Throw Your IDEA/AIRCEL/UNINOR/AIRTEL SIM CARDS Because i Think You Have an Important Contacts in Your Mobile Numbers
Amit.G November 27, 2010 at 8:40 am
i have many friends who r using 2600c, 5800,5130 with vodafone airtel and uninor connection from more than 1year and their phones r working perfect.last week when i showed my 5800 to nok care he reinstalled soft 2 times and still it used to restart,ltr i checked wit uninor n airtel n it worked fine even tat guy was confused. so now im feeling tat my bad experience with nokia was b’cos of idea connection i was using. my 2600c wit idea/spice used to restart/hang 4 tims a day.& evn i hve chckd wit 3 idea sims
Amit.G November 27, 2010 at 8:32 am
Guys pls help me out. im having 4 phones of nokia 5800,2626,1600, and micromax q5fb. i have idea(karnataka),Uninor,Aircel and Airtel connection. whenever i use idea sim in nokia 5800 as soon as i send mesg it hangs and restrarts but with uninor aircel n airtel it never hangs even if i send bulk sms.this thing happens with 2626 also where it restarts.when i thought abt my previous nok mobiles whic i threw bcos of restarting(like 2600c) at tat time also i was using idea(different sim) so wat would be the prob
Arjun. November 27, 2010 at 8:32 am
@Raghu
Man i Can’t Trust AirTel, Vodafone BCOZ Their CC is Not Yet Resolved The Coverage Problem in The Area Where I’m Located Especially I’m Located at City Outskirts Where BSNL, DOCOMO, AIRCEL, IDEA, RELIANCE are Having Good Coverage Both in Indoor and Outdoor Uninor is Exceptional But AirTel and Vodafone People are Not Interested in Expanding Their Coverage
Arjun. November 27, 2010 at 6:49 am
@Amit.g
Amit, UNINOR is The Worst in Coverage Coming to the Part Of Kolar and CHIKABALLAPUR Districts Because UNINOR is Not Available in Gandhinagar Area, Kogilahalli and Devaraj Medical College in Outskirts of Kolar City and From Rehamatnagar to Vemagal also Uninor is Very Bad. And i’m Sure That Uninor Has not Covered Half Of DoCoMo,BSNL and Aircel and 3/4 Of Idea
sandy November 27, 2010 at 6:10 am
@dskushwaha
@Kanaga Deepan N
now bsnl also provide all local and std call at 30p to bsnl number and off net 49p
by recharge of rs 58 and 158 with 1 and 3 month validity respectively
dskushwaha November 27, 2010 at 12:59 am
Yes almost all the customers are cheated because operators don’t remind about expiry of terrif plan/ SMS pack/GPRS pack. They also dont remind about useless VAS expiry and simply renew the subscription.
They are just busy in looting the customers when they make calls to Customer care by charging again about Rs. 0.50/3min.
Raghu November 27, 2010 at 12:40 am
@Amit.G
Customer service is excellent if u give complaint regarding network etc the next working day they will call and tell the facts by when they will be able to solve the problem.they will be not able to solve by the time frame but they will resolve it soon. . only thing which is they have to improve the coverage. thats the only thing. otherwise their services are excellent.
Kanaga Deepan N November 27, 2010 at 12:35 am
NOT at all a good one.. Nowadays almost all operators are giving 30p Local (incl offnet) at cheap prices… Docomo gives 1p/2sec for 3 months @ Rs89 in TN.. BSNL gives 30p local (onnet and offnet) @ Rs61/month, even RCom has some 30p local offer.. TataIndicom has 30p Local and 50p STD tariff with 6 month validity for Rs28 only.. Uninor has 29p Local tariff, Etisalat has 10p onnet and 30p offnet tariff also.. Even virgin has 40p/min Local/STD tariff, with get paid for Incoming calls at 10p/min..
Amit.G November 27, 2010 at 12:28 am
@Raghu
But for me uninor is the best because of following reasons
1.They have got good network quality and coverage is good in city areas
2.GPRS speed is 3times faster than aircel from 1month
3. customer care is very polite and most imp thing is they call os send sms to remind us if our gprs,sms packs are abt to expire where as this idiotic aircel never reminds and today i lost 40rs as i didn knew tat my gprs pack got expired
5. if place a complaint then they will resolve it for sure
SO UNINOR IS THE BEST
dskushwaha November 27, 2010 at 12:26 am
Nothing good in this.
Local (even A2A) is not cheap
STD expensive.
per day SMS 55 (10000/180) of no use (nobody uses these much of SMSs)
I will not like this plan even if it is available without Rs. 119 terrif.
*******************************************************************
I must tell that I am a heavy STD user (99% of the bill goes in STD).
Prefer to talk instead of using SMS because of high SMS charges (Even SMS packs are expensive. After SMS pack average SMS rate becomes more than 20p for avarge 2-3 SMSs).
Mostly remain on Roaming (I use dual SIM with all 5 prepaid connections, but face problems because of no roaming between Assam/NE circles and Rest of India).
Amit.G November 27, 2010 at 12:18 am
@Manjunath
Better port to vodafone as u get superb coverage, less call drops and good cc service. also plans are cheap
Amit.G November 27, 2010 at 12:14 am

Vodafone has got good voice clarity in karnataka. it is same as airtel’s
abhijith November 27, 2010 at 12:07 am
for 119rupees i said tariff
abhijith November 27, 2010 at 12:03 am
Friends i have a small doubt about tariff . . Airtel to airtel 30p , airtel to others 60p , std @60p , 10,000 local and national sms free . Validity 6month . . Is it good deal or bad deal
Raghu November 26, 2010 at 11:56 pm
@Vicky
Yes i agree with u. If uninor install new towers they will become no.1 in the next 6 months-1 year.
Vicky November 26, 2010 at 11:45 pm
voda voice clarity is excellent
but they give lot of trouble to me
many times bringing my account bal to negative
by charging to gprs even after i had recharged for a gprs pack
Vicky November 26, 2010 at 11:42 pm
Airtel fails in this matter and even uninor wins them easily in coverage and network strength in small villages
if uninor install new towers aggressively
no one can beat its network its for sure
Raghu November 26, 2010 at 11:18 pm

Raghu November 26, 2010 at 11:14 pm
@rohan
i have seen Airtel not bothering for solving the network issue where they have most subscribers in one circle. but after MNP /loosing the customers then only they will realize that.
Manoj Abhigyan November 26, 2010 at 11:12 pm
Yes, you can change your Reliance CDMA service provider by MNP.
And we often get confused with both ARJUN & Arjuna. as both come from Karnataka.
dskushwaha November 26, 2010 at 11:00 pm
Yes you can retain your no. after MNP to FWT, Landline, CDMA, GSM.

you are right

@Vicky
ya. A month back i went to some villages in up(e) their i found BSNL giving 3G i was surpised to see downloads reaching 3 MBPS. Their Airtel was giving G symbol with netwk fluctuations, where as docomo netwk vanished. Uninor showd E symbol with better netwk than airtel. This was the case on roadways. As soon as i entered village airtel netwk vanished. Uninor gave avg netwk and bsnl continued giving full netwk.

ARJUN November 26, 2010 at 9:07 pm
@Manjunatha
IF YOU GO WITH AIRTEL AND DOCOMO YOU WILL DEFINITELY REPENT OF THEIR THIRD CLASS CUSTOMER CARE
ARJUN November 26, 2010 at 9:06 pm
@Manjunatha
Better Go With BSNL Man as They are Having Good Service
Manjunatha November 26, 2010 at 9:00 pm
@Arjun.
I from Karnataka
Idea as you said probably available in many places but what about frequent Call drops and their customer care is really annoying and their value added services like online recharge and their Web based interface for Karnataka is poor. I’ll port from IDEA to other operator on JAn 20.
I am confused between DOCOMO, AIRTEL and BSNL???
Manjunatha November 26, 2010 at 8:51 pm
Did anyone from Haryana?? Who has requested or successfully ported their Number??
ARJUN November 26, 2010 at 8:51 pm
AIRCEL IS BETTER THAN TATA DOCOMO AND UNINOR IN KERALA
Arjun. November 26, 2010 at 8:04 pm
@max
While Coming To Karnataka Circle
1.IDEA-900MHz, COVERED MORE THAN AIRTEL AND IMPROVING IT’S SERVICES
2.AIRTEL-900 MHz WAS ONCE A TRUSTED OPERATOR OF KARNATAKA. GETTING DEGRADED THAN IDEA, POOR CONNECTIVITY IN OUTSKIRTS OF CITY.
3.VODAFONE- 900MHz BETTER ONE IN COVERAGE BUT WASTE NETWORK
4.BSNL- GOOD COVERAGE, CRYSTAL CLEAR NETWORK, OPERATING IN 900 MHz
5.AIRCEL-1800MHz IMPROVING IT’S COVERAGE AND GOOD GOING
6.DOCOMO- 1800 MHz BETTER ONE THAN AIRCEL
7.UNINOR-1800 MHz BUT WORST IN COVERAGE THAN AIRCEL AND DOCOMO
dheran November 26, 2010 at 7:53 pm
bsnl and mtnl are on 900 mhz and the first 2 operators in each circle has been also alloted 900 Mhz and the fourth operator and new operators has been alloted 1800 Mhz. additional spectrum for the bsnl and the other 2 operators also are in 1800 and 900 Mhz
Proximus November 26, 2010 at 7:47 pm
Now Tata Docomo have started charging more after launching 3G,In kerala Tata Docomo have very poor coverage compared to other service providers.and its operating in 1800mhz frequency.
max November 26, 2010 at 7:29 pm
how we will know which operator operating on which band circle wise

Aneesmaddas November 26, 2010 at 6:16 pm
I am the retailer , Aircel recently launched their service ,Aircel is only having thier network within 2 kms radius of the town,gprs speed is very bad ,
Amit.G November 26, 2010 at 6:07 pm
@Arjun.
It depends on the frequency they use like 1800 band has low coverage and 900band will cover more. also the tower height is adjusted depending upon crowd and also area to be covered
Vicky November 26, 2010 at 5:46 pm
@arjun
How to identify whose tower
Arjun. November 26, 2010 at 5:15 pm
@Amit.G
I Have a Question, If The Height Of The Cellular Tower is 60M Then How Much Area Will it Cover?
Vicky November 26, 2010 at 4:56 pm
@benny nd satish
aircel also dont give good speed in small cities and villages like airtel
Only vodafone and bsnl gve good edge speed in all areas
Vicky November 26, 2010 at 4:49 pm
buddy i think in TN AIRTEL Is city player
they give good edge speed in big cities only
where as voda ,bsnl and other new players give same good speed in all over
Amit.G November 26, 2010 at 4:27 pm
@ARJUN
Lets hope for it bcos idea karnataka management has assured top management tat idea will grap more customers after mnp and even employees have started working hard lets see. this info was given by my friend who is working in idea cellular

how is the voice clarity of voda
Manoj Abhigyan November 26, 2010 at 4:06 pm
If a customer is registered in National Do Not Call Register and ports his number to another operator, his DND service will be deactivated. Thus he has to register again and wait for another 45 days.
ARJUN November 26, 2010 at 3:47 pm
@Amit.G
But if IDEA improves it’s Service Definitely Airtel Will Fall Down Like a Engine Failed Aeroplane in Karnataka
ARJUN November 26, 2010 at 3:43 pm
@Amit.G
Yes I will accept That, But IDEA improves it’s Service Then AirTel Surely Fall Down in Terms Of Coverage, Revenues and Customer Satisfaction and Then IDEA is Karnataka’s
NO.1 Service
Amit.G November 26, 2010 at 2:06 pm
But still they cant beat vodafone idea n airtel in coverage.. it will take another two years for these new players to cover 85% of state
Santu Sovan Mandal November 26, 2010 at 1:53 pm
@Benny
There are many circles where airtel is not market leader. Like
Kolkata, Rest of Bengal, Mumbai – Vodafone.
MP & CG, MH & GOA-Idea etc. Airtel is a market leader overall.
In case of 4 metros,
Delhi- Airtel
Mumbai & Kolkata- Vodafone
Chennai- Aircel.
Kanaga Deepan N November 26, 2010 at 1:24 pm
In RoTN, I will convert my Airtel prepaid to Docomo prepaid..
Arjun. November 26, 2010 at 1:01 pm
ESPECIALLY I’D LIKE TO SAY ABOUT DOCOMO,BSNL,IDEA AND AIRCEL BTS SIGNAL STRENGTH THESE WILL EMIT THE SIGNAL UPTO 7 KMS BUT AIRTEL BEING A TRUSTABLE MOBILE OF KARNATAKA DEPLOYED 4 BTS IN 2 VILLAGES WITHOUT SUFFICIENT WIRING THAT’S WHY AIRTEL IS A ORIGINAL WASTE PRODUCT FOR ME
Arjun. November 26, 2010 at 12:28 pm
In My Case Aircel and DOCOMO are Only Good Players in Karnataka Because Aircel and DOCOMO are aggressively Rolling Out Their BTS in Most Parts of Karnataka
Benny November 26, 2010 at 12:08 pm
@Manoj Abhigyan
I agree with you. I want to see the end of Airtel. Till 2004 in my native place it was only the trusted Aircel and BSNL whic had coverage in my native place, Nazareth. Only much latter did Airtel come in that too with minimal coverage. I guess Tamil Nadu is the only state where Airtel is not the market leader. Infact Aircel is way ahead in terms of customer base and quality of service
vineet November 26, 2010 at 12:05 pm
@pankaj
wait until docomo gets its owm spectrum in patna town.no idea when it will get.
Vivek November 26, 2010 at 11:52 am
In GOA,
Idea has better network and Voice quality.
Then since i m using BSNL i’ll go 4 bsnl after idea bcoz bsnl has best plan specially
sms plans are too good and they are also increasing network.but only problem is sometimes calls are not going through which they will sought as soon as network increases.
3rd position i’ll give to Vodaphone
Ganesh Srinivasan November 26, 2010 at 11:48 am

I have done that switch from Docomo to Airtel and I am happy about it. I have standradised on Airtel and BSNL for my data needs
Ganesh Srinivasan November 26, 2010 at 11:46 am
@sathish
I am surprised to note that Vodafone has better tower infrastructure compared to Airtel in TN. I thought Vodafone is a strong city player only
Manoj Abhigyan November 26, 2010 at 11:32 am
MNP process will take place between 10:00 pm to 5:00 am and a customer’s mobile will be out of service for just two hours. So MNP is much customer friendly.
sathish November 26, 2010 at 11:13 am
If MNP is takes place in TN, Airtel will be biggest looser; because Airtel is avail only for Cities & Towns.
They are not interested to put towers in Rural Areas, In TN BSNL, Aircel, Vodafone is the biggest gainer due to very very strong coverage. especially Aircel.
Aircel is always and mainly first focus to TN. then only other state.
since last 10 years, here no one beat Aircel.
Then BSNL, Vodafone.
Airtel will be death in 2011 due to costliest network without coverage.
pankaj November 26, 2010 at 11:07 am
Docomo gprs is cheaper but pathetic. The speed is so slow, (even in Patna city area) that out of 2 GB DATA i could only used 450MB in one month.
So, i switched to airtel and the speed is so fast that my 2 GB got used in only 5 days.
Abhijit November 26, 2010 at 11:06 am
I also Send Port Sms to 1900 from Vodafone Maharashtra circle which charged me Rs. 0.50 as local Sms charge and also received one reference porting code that should be used or valid till 11/12/2010 (i.e Valid for 15 days from sending that port msg to 1900)..
so as until yet MNP is not yet launched in Maharashtra circle so what will happened to that porting reference code number which I got through SMS.. After 15 days that porting code will be lapsed or after MNP is launched in Maharashtra circle I would again I have to send that Msg or what?? Does any body knows about it??
dskushwaha November 26, 2010 at 10:48 am
The maximum time for porting would become seven working days except in Jammu and Kashmir, Assam and North East service areas, wherein it would be 15 working days
dskushwaha November 26, 2010 at 10:48 am
Customers can port their numbers provided a minimum period of 90 days has elapsed after subscription to the mobile service of the current service provider.
kiran November 26, 2010 at 10:38 am

@vinay
Outside my home I have full network of Bsnl still I experience call drops and Distortion while speaking.
Thats voice clarity, they have full network in area but voice clarity is not good.
After switching from Bsnl to Airtel and Docomo I experience clear sound even in my home with less network than Bsnl.
Airtel have good voice Clarity.
Avinash November 26, 2010 at 9:45 am
MNP will be favorable to the operators which are having 3G licences in their respective circles.
Arjun. November 26, 2010 at 8:42 am
@vinay
Buddy Voice Clarity Means The Voice Spread by Your Service Provider if You Make a Call Determines That Quality. N Coverage Means a BTS (CALLED AS MOBILE TOWER) Must Have to Cover Areas as Per The BTS Height, Cabling, Deploying Antennas
Amit.G November 26, 2010 at 8:41 am
@ARJUN
You are right aircel,docomo are expanding their coverage but i dont think tat customers of uninor will switch B’cos 95% of ppl using uninor use it as ter secondary no in their dual sim phones.after enquiring wit many retailers i found tat even majority of middle aged ppl( 35-45) use uninor with 198ul plan and they use it for OG and ter main no for IC. so for them coverage hardly matters and even they switch also they cant find any other operator offerin such cheap pln
Amit.G November 26, 2010 at 8:36 am
@Raghu
Docomo’s network has become worst even in 2G u wont get good speed(max 7KB/S). dont know abt 3g as im not using it. i use bsnl 3g which offers excellent speed 4.8mbps max. i use huawei E1750 modem which supports 7.2mbps

@riju frnd. whats d difference between voice clarity n coverage. if they hv coverage then only voice clarity vl come? i suppose.
riju November 26, 2010 at 7:38 am
airtel has good voice clarity but coverage is poor.no good plans.
riju November 26, 2010 at 7:32 am
please change to BSNL get good coverage and good plans also get the mnp offer
Benny November 26, 2010 at 7:27 am
I agree with you… Uninor voice quality was notorious and also connectivity was bad wen i bought a sim card in karnataka
k.prasanna raghavan November 26, 2010 at 7:00 am
The important thing is that the customer can port only his number, but will be enrolled as a new customer for the new operator.So he has to opt for new Plan available with the current operator.
ARJUN November 26, 2010 at 5:17 am
@Amruth
ANRUTH BSNL AND AIRCEL IMPROVING THEIR COVERAGE IN KARNATAKA AND IDEA IS NO.1 IN COVERAGE, SO WE CAN SWITCH FOR THOSE OPERATORS. BUT AIRTEL IS NOT INTERESTED OF IMPROVING THEIR NETWORK IN RoKK(REST OF KARNATAKA)
ARJUN November 26, 2010 at 5:13 am
@Amit.g
I Think Aircel Improves it’s Coverage upto 75%. Then Most Of The Customers Will Switch To Aircel /IDEA/ DOCOMO/ BSNL From UNINOR after MNP, Because UNINOR is a Worst Service Provider Which is Congestion Free and Crystal Clear Network But Failed to attract Customers BCOZ Uninor is Failed in Coverage if UNINOR Won’t Improves it’s Coverage Then Surely They Will Get Down after MNP
Nandu November 26, 2010 at 2:25 am
Yes I agree with that
Aneesmaddas November 26, 2010 at 12:43 am
Idea Voice clarity is ok,Uninor sucks

Benny November 26, 2010 at 12:29 am
Dear Airtel watch out!
Im itching to move out from ur notorious network which charged me unfairly and activated vas without my consent and so are dozens of my friends and millions of customers in TN and other states. I want to see your company file for bankruptcy very soon
I am moving to Tata docomo even though it has no 3G license in TN

Not really…. How many do u think will even want 3G services. all that people want is cheap and reliable call services with good GPRS data. Dono how many indians will actually afford a 3g handset or data card. I would say may be 2 or 3 out of every 100 porting subscribers might change for the sake of 3G. Given the high and exorbitant charge for 3G data i would say even the middle class might find it too costly to shift to private operators just for 3G.
Idris Andrabi November 25, 2010 at 11:51 pm
@Amit.g
I agree with you idea has got bad voice quality Airtel is far better..even if we compare the plans of postpaid GPRS.Idea is rubbish actually finally I got a chance to change my service provider. WOW
Raghu November 25, 2010 at 11:46 pm
@Amit.g
i heard Tata Docomo has become so bad after launch of 3g in Karnataka.2g is much better i think in the case of Docomo. what do u think. will they improve the 3 g network ?
Raghu November 25, 2010 at 11:43 pm
@Amit.g
ok dude. but here i have experienced excellent voice clarity even when the signal is 1. so i have not had a problem with Idea . but the main problem is very less coverage near my area. thats the only thing.Vodafone has also got excellent coverage in my area.
Manish November 25, 2010 at 11:42 pm
what will happen to balance and validity in case of prepaid after changing to new operator
Raghu November 25, 2010 at 11:41 pm
@Amit.g
i know buddy Airtel has a robust network . but somehow i feel Airtel will loose some customers in Kerala,Maharashtra where their network is not so good. where their network is good definitely they will gain customers like AP etc
Amit.G November 25, 2010 at 11:25 pm
@Arif
Ur calculation is wrong buddy. only 20% of youths will use 3G services till 2014. after tat we may see rise in usage. if 3g had to creat revolution then everybody would have rushed to bsnl or 90% of docomo’s urban customers would use 3g of docomo. But wat is the scene now???? till now only 10%of docomo’s urban customers r using 3g services and tat too not completely. SO still 2G will play a major role in MNP
stephenideocon November 25, 2010 at 11:24 pm
i got fed up with airtel in kerala… waiting for a change to a good provider
Santu Sovan Mandal November 25, 2010 at 11:19 pm
Thanks.
Amruth November 25, 2010 at 11:17 pm
Instead of alloting spectrum for new operators DOT and TRI should insist in making BSNL seamless network.. If bsnl overcome network drop in indoor, everyone will opt for it and making other operators as loosers.. Bsnl is the operator which has better voice and gprs tariff plan compared to others only because of network problem people hinder in switching for it..
ashR November 25, 2010 at 11:16 pm
so finally MNP is Launched in India
Arif November 25, 2010 at 10:41 pm
I am sure subscriber will migrate to 3G operator from non 3G operator. Big loss for non 3G operator after MNP.
sonny November 25, 2010 at 10:39 pm
when will mnp come to kolkata ? airtel is looting customers over here.
Manish November 25, 2010 at 10:27 pm
When is MNP going to start in Gujarat
Amit.g November 25, 2010 at 10:20 pm
@Raghu
idea’s voice clarity is not worst dude infact u it is clear without any disturbance but u wont feel the quality like how we get from other operators. some sort of hissing sound will be ter in the background
Amit.g November 25, 2010 at 10:15 pm
@Raghu
Ya man main prob wit idea is voice clarity
Amit.g November 25, 2010 at 10:13 pm
@Raghu
You know wat Airtel’s revenue in karnataka will not get decreased even though they are adding less customer base. most of the govt corporations give contract to airtel itself eg This year karnataka state transport has awarded contarct to airtel where they give more than 5000 postpaid connections to all officers where they charge 1500rs per connections…like this airtel gets revenue
nitesh jain November 25, 2010 at 10:09 pm
whn MNP come in chattisgarh
Manoj Abhigyan November 25, 2010 at 10:08 pm

what abt lifetime validity of new number. v hv paid 1000s rupees for the said number. vl it remain under new operator?
Jai November 25, 2010 at 9:38 pm
Haryana me lagta hai jaada hi paresaan log hai isliye is saale kapil sibbal ne mnp ko waha par launch karwaya hai.ye to koi achi baat na hui waki states me kya telecom customer nahi hai kya wo bhee to caahte hai ki hum is service ka faayda le sake.
Bhaiyo MNP ko kam se kam 5 states me laagu karna cahiye tha.
Thanks.
riju November 25, 2010 at 9:36 pm
i am also waiting for it.then bsnl reach to no.1(some times before launching mnp bsnl will reach to no.1)
vinay November 25, 2010 at 9:35 pm
my query is… when v change the service provider (SP) of our o1d number – under mnp, how come the benefits under new scheme of new SP vl b received by us.
eg. mtnl gv youth plan for lifetime rent-free group calling only with ‘new’ sim cards. if i keep my voda number n switch to mtnl netwrk, how vl i receive benefits of yuth plan in the ‘old’ sim.
ARJUN November 25, 2010 at 9:04 pm
@Raghu
Yes This is Caused Due To IDEA, AIRCEL, DOCOMO, BSNL

Kamal Halder November 25, 2010 at 8:24 pm
When is Kolkata’s turn. Or these people had some sweets under the table from these operators to get it done late. Anything can happend when there is so much money is involved and we have earlier witnessed these peoples.
pavan November 25, 2010 at 8:21 pm
some of interesting facts i have seen” A Handbook for Consumers from the Telecom Regulator.(English)” is released in nov 23 2010
one of the fact is given below
“No chargeable value added services shall be activated through
pressing of keys on the telephone set / mobile handset unless
the explicit consent of the customer is obtained through (i) a
customer originated call; or SMS; or interaction session to a
specified number; or through a request made in writing or Fax
or e-mail; or (ii) through the double confirmation by pressing ‘*’
(star) key followed by ‘9’ key in the mobile handset/telephone
set.”
http://www.ziddu.com/download/12691206/englishhandbook23nov.pdf.html
on seeing this any operator is followed this rule especially airtel, vodafone
some more facts download this

THEN WHY IS AIRTEL IS CLAIMING AS KARNATAKA’S NO.1 MOBILE SERVICE? I DON’T KNOW WHY

Even That’s True Airtel is Having Zero Connectivity in Most Of The Villages Connecting to Kolar NH4 Byepass Road

MNP will be implemented throught INDIA before 20th jan.. It will be implemented Phase by Phase like In nov 4 states,Dec 10states etc. For karnataka Telecordia will serve for MNP & since we all know tat ter is some security issues with telecordia it will take some time to get implemented in karnataka
Mayur November 25, 2010 at 7:53 pm
Hi guys.. can anyone tel me that mnp will roll out rest of india before jan 20th or on jan 20th?
Amit.G November 25, 2010 at 7:52 pm
How about Voice clarity???? And do u have uninor network in koppa??
Amit.G November 25, 2010 at 7:51 pm
@Arjun.
Dude Idea has better coverage than Airtl,BSNL & AIrcel, Infact it is No1 in coverage with covering 19000 towns & villages in karnataka. Now i have seen around 15villages where u find only Idea tower with network in full strength( indoor & outdoor) & Airtel having zero network indoors & 2 bars outdoors. I agree tat ter quality lags but not coverage..
Mayur November 25, 2010 at 7:51 pm
hi even im from bangalore, pls let me know that where did u get info about docomo that they will launch in dec 1st week????@Vinu
Vinu November 25, 2010 at 7:42 pm
Heard from Tata Docomo sources that MNP will be rolled out within first week of December here in Karnataka..
I wish to shift to them(Tata’s) from Airtel, but will wait and watch till roll out and expect for free missed call alert, rental free sms and better plans from Airte; itself(old custo’s have very poor plans in Airtel) and if hey fail to provide will text to 1900…
Aneesmaddas November 25, 2010 at 7:40 pm
I am using Idea ,network is very good,gprs speed is 30 to 40 kpbs, airtel gprs speed is 10 to 20 kpbs
Santu Sovan Mandal November 25, 2010 at 7:29 pm
I think all people are happy tonight. They can shift to their best operator very soon. Everybody including I was loosing interest in mnp as once it seemed that it will never arrive. But now the day has come. For Haryana people, Njoy!!! For rest of India, Don’t be surprised if your operator give you a offer you have never heard before. MNP can be implemented in your region, anytime. Start counting hours!!!
Tushar Gaikwad November 25, 2010 at 7:27 pm
Hope it comes to Maharashtra soon…..I am fed up of my old Airtel Friendz SIM (inactive since 2 months)….I am stuck with the plan and pay 1 Rupee deduction everyday and 1rs/min to others….I will go with DoCoMo or BSNL as they provide 3G here
Dibyagyan November 25, 2010 at 7:23 pm
Though I’m not from Haryana
Still I’ll say that…
Haryana Rocks….
Jitendra November 25, 2010 at 7:23 pm
Govt, under former Telecom Minister A Raja had kept postponing the day of the roll-out, but his successor to the ministership Kapil Sibal has wasted no time in providing this feature to all mobile phone users in the country.
Amruth November 25, 2010 at 7:18 pm
Sanjay well done buddy
Thanks for keeping us update.. 
Webly November 25, 2010 at 7:05 pm
i hope MNP comes to MH-Goa circle before christmas.
But, i’m happy with my idea no. Good network.
Poor offers. Can’t help, after all the network is great.
Webly November 25, 2010 at 6:57 pm
So, now it’s clear that: from today onwards (25th nov.), TRAI will be implementing MNP in phases and the process should complete by Jan 20th.
Guys! You may have MNP visiting your circle at anytime from now, may be in a week’s time or a month.
But, i guess TT doesn’t have the inputs about MNP circle visit
Till then, all eyes on TRAI for the next announcement…

@MAX … its a START … when it said BECOMING A REALITY i meant ACTUALLY HAPPENING.

Webly November 25, 2010 at 6:43 pm
TT plz clarify this statement:
In the title it is said that ‘MNP by Jan 20′ which means the country wide implementation may be on 20.
And in the para is said the ‘MNP on jan 20′ which means surely on 20.
Sanjay Bafna November 25, 2010 at 6:36 pm
