Supreme Court of India today allowed MTS India and Uninor (Mumbai circle), whose mobile service license were due to be revoked on 18th January as per an earlier Supreme Court’s order, to continue their mobile services until it hears the case next on 4th February, 2013.
Earlier the Department of Telecommunication (DoT) filed affidavit in Supreme Court on 08.01.2013 and urge to the Supreme Court to allow the Mobile Operators like MTS India (SSTL) (all circles) and Uninor in Mumbai circle to operate until the next Spectrum auction which will be held by 11th March,2013.
Today’s Supreme Court’s order will help Russian conglomerate Sistema’s Indian unit Sistema Shyam Teleservice which is operating its Mobile service under the brand name MTS India (21 circles) and Norway’s Telenor which is operating Uninor GSM Mobile service in India to continue operations in Mumbai circle beyond a January 18 deadline in the circles where its permits are to be revoked.

Hi,
one of the India’s best data card . still we have hopes SC will give permission to extent MTS licence. People worried about their Data/voice card usage or MTS licence it is not a matter of TROI /SC , it is between two good country’s long relation ship.
Somebody’s mistake it may be going to end two country’s long relation ship.

will mblze service also be shut down by that time? was planning to recharge
Esmail January 15, 2013 at 11:40 am
The supreme court should keep a simple clause stating that the companies whose licenses are at stake should be asked to deposit the earnest money for 11th March auctions before the next hearing date which if 4th February. This will ensure their intention to participate in the auctions in which case the licenses should be extended to 15th March, and companies who fail to pay the earnest money should be forced to terminate their services on midnight of 5th February.

MTS is by far the best carrier in West Bengal as well as in other part of the India. They are more sticky on their price which by far best. So, I wish MTS continue its service in India. I want to upgrade my phone but due to this spectrum issue I’m waiting for it.
Anirban Das January 15, 2013 at 12:28 am
I am a MTS Voice customer of West Bengal circle. I feel proud to be a MTS user. It’s service is awesome. All d best mts.
GK January 14, 2013 at 8:41 pm
MTS provides one of the best data services.We all customers of MTS wish better fortunes for the company to get a verdict in its favor.

mts is cheater , there customer care is hope less, they dont lodge complaint against wrong deduction , my mobile no. 9214095262
Raghu January 14, 2013 at 9:45 pm
it is of no use of calling to MTS customer care for calling for unwanted balance deductions. u have to complain in pgportal.gov.in to get the desired results.
Arjun Chandrashekar January 15, 2013 at 5:12 pm
I Don’t Have any hope on PGPORTAL because Last Time My Friend is Having Mobile Tele Systems (MTS) Service and He’s not Having any Benefits of Balance Deduction
Raghu January 16, 2013 at 10:57 pm
But for me they solved the problem for me 3 times when i got issues. So i have no problem with it. Compared to calling to customer care that is the best i can say.
Ripudaman Singh January 17, 2013 at 12:24 am
pgportal once helped me to get a refund of Rs 149 within 3 days of registering the complaint (against TD)
MA January 14, 2013 at 7:00 pm
Ahh they keep postponing everytime. I was waiting for the result of that curative petition thing so that I can buy MTS data card.
BTW I asked MTS Customer Care they said “We will continue our business in India, don’t worry”. I asked whether they’ll refund in case services shut down. They said that they will refund the amount. Still I am skeptical about buying.
Reasons to buy: No tata docomo cdma coverage indoor. I have a Reliance Netconnect+, but that “+” in the branding is for namesake only. Speeds. on an average, don’t go above 144 Kbps. I am on a limited plan- 449 2GB, so no FUP is applicable. My friend has MTS. At my home location, It gave speeds above 1 Mbps constantly.
I don’t feel like buying unlocked CDMA card- It costs 2000. The branded card is for Rs. 750 only Plus 501 FRC for 10 GB valid for 30 days.
What to do now? :/
santosh January 15, 2013 at 2:52 pm
Why supreme court is showing mercy on MTS when this operator not going to bid for any circle. MTS is getting free benefit.
