    @kapil jain
    Yes really its very bad. I was quite happy with plan of Rs 125. and was able to use that plan only once and now I am unable to recharge that plan. Even in my cae I am not able to contact customer care. not picking phone at all. Cheap servise to pocket but really cheap in case of customer interaction and their satisfaction. Use ur phone or datacard till it works if there is any problem no body is there to help you.

    MTNL recently launched these plans and within the month of their being available in the market, these plans has been rolled back without any intimation or information to it’s customers…Was that only a marketing funda..?

    I think if MTNL offer Pree paid plan Rs.200/- , 1GB data usages, validity for 30 Days it gives great response & give great revenue.
    Also give special package for Trade market, Education, Corporate offices , Govt. organisation its give great response ( i.e. Rs.2000/- , 2 GB data usages, 30 days validity.)
    Think about it. Have a Reallily nice day.

    I think MTNL works for people benefit and not for profit making like other pvt. cellular co… thats why they keep such fool plans to benefit people if they provide Long Validity Packs with more benefit than merged benefits of small packs then pvt. co. will raise a complaint against MTNL just like they did in case of Rs. 4,500/- data plan of MTNL which was such an huge success for MTNL which eventually MTNL had to withdraw for the sake of so called fair play .. @Saurabh

    Fool offer-
    * 125/- (1 GB for 15 days)- take 2 times for a month= 250/-; 2 GB; 30 Days
    Why a will go for 250/-; 1.1 GB; 30 days ?
    * 76/- (1 GB for 7 days)- Calculating for a month= Approx. 322/-; 4 GB; 30 Days
    Why a will go for 650/-; 3.3 GB; 30 days ?
    * 41/- (1 GB for a 24 Hrs- CC tell that it is valid till midnight, but it is working for 24 Hrs, as I faced)- For 30 days= 1230/-; 30 GB; 30 Days
    Why a will go for 1200/-; 15 GB; 30 days (Launched on 1 May)?
    I did these calculation & share for implementing Data Packs in right manner.
    My suggestion- Long Validity Packs should have more benefit than merged benefits of small packs.

    yes saurabh u r correct..I WILL NOT GO FOR 30DAYS VALIDITY PLANS

    Yes friend, I am also going for weekly pack.
    322/- per month for 4.3 GB

    First 3G signal of MTNL is worst you will not get everywhere whethere it is Delhi NCR or Mumbai.
    They also need some speed upgrade from 3.6 mbps to 21.6 mbps to catch private players.

    Can you please tell any one operator who provides 100% coverage if its 2G or 3G, We are very glad if you provide this info here.

    its trick to take money .
    bcoz bsnl /mtnl network is 3.6mbps
    but its down all over india
    (0.5mbps to 1mbps max in day)
    with slowset browsing

    so u can get only edge speed in 3g network
    so these plan also same as edge.

    Because, BSNL is indirectly controlled by the private Mobile Operators. There are several Rajas in Telecom Ministry.

    But What about MTNL Mumbai when they are going to reduced 3G data tariffs?? All other operators like Airtel, Vodafone, Idea & Reliance are giving 1GB data in Rs.250 and 2GB data in Rs.450..

    But MTNL Mumbai still giving just 500MB data in Rs.250 & 1GB data in Rs.450!!! So now MTNL is costlier in Mumbai..

    Reply
  • Sanjeev Kumar Verma May 28, 2012 at 11:31 am

    These are the cheapest rates of 3G by in India. The biggest advantage is that these data plans are also effective while roaming. No other operator allows data plans under roaming. I am using MTNL 3G since its commencement and except for occasional technical issues this 3G service is cheapest and best service in India.
