MTS LAUNCHED MOBILE SERVICE IN KOLKATA

kolkata-mtsRemember our earlier post “MTS KICKS OFF ITS CAMPAIGN IN KOLKATA“  Now We bring you the exclusive news that MTS (Mobile Tele systems) has rolled out its Mobile Service in Kolkata circle and said it would invest $150 million in Kolkata telecom service area over the next four years. Beginning today, MTS services can be purchased at all telecom retail outlets across Kolkata. By the end of June, MTS will be gradually present across all district head quarters, major towns and highways of West Bengal. MTS is reaching out to its customers in Kolkata, with the message “Change your Life’s Plan”.

MTS also said it is planning to launch its services in Delhi by August, a move that is likely to intensify competition among the seven telecom players in the national capital.”We will launch our services in Delhi by August-September (this year). The company is already in talks with tower companies and infrastructure firms for rolling out operations in Delhi,” SSTL President and Chief Executive Officer Vsevolod Rozanov told to the media after launching their mobile telephony services under the ‘MTS’ brand in Kolkata.The company would launch its services in other parts of West Bengal by next month followed by Bihar and Jharkhand in July.
The company is offering a scheme of one million minutes of free talk time to its customers with a limit of 150 minutes usage everyday with its MSaver-499 and also 10 local SMS  as bonus per day, call Charges and tariff are the same as its all existing circle.

All local MTS-to-MTS calls will be charged at 35 paisa per minute; MTS-to-non MTS calls and calls to landlines will cost 70 paisa per minute STD calls will cost Rs.1.40 per minute local SMS (on all networks) will cost subscribers 50 paisa per SMS, while international messages will cost Rs.5 per SMS. The Life Time Prepaid will cost Rs.49 with talktime of Rs.10 and the call charges will be applicable as above.Additionally, there is a second lifetime offer from MTS which would allow customers to make local mobile calls at just 30p/min. This offer will be at a one time cost of Rs.99 and is a limited period offer.

The help line number for MTS Kolkata is 155 (Toll Free) from your MTS mobile phone  Or dial 91 53 155 155, if calling from a landline or non-MTS phone.

Daily I calling them and they said it is ok we are take the complain against this no. another 12 hours the problem is solved but nothing.
    when I do outgoing call from this no then listen that “This facility is not applicable for your no” when I calling to this no means incoming then I listen “This mobile is switched off”. This is the problem now u are decide this problem are solved or not. Alt no- 9239225632.

    Hi Biswas just spoke to an Agent “PALLAB” on 29-05-2009 23:29 hrs.
    He confirmed that “9153″ series has not been opened yet (as WB is yet to launch) so regardless of what is printed on hoarding etc one cannot dial the code.

    I am able to connect to 0-9143-155-155 without any problem (KOLKATA code).

    Hi Biswas thanks for sharing a details insight into MTS KOLKATA.
    Is 9153155155 code for MTS KOL or MTS WB? When I called 0-9153155155 it said “Number Does Not Exist” (Tried on 21 MAY & again today 29 MAY). However connects OK to 0-9143155155… I spoke to an agent “PALLAB ” and he informed me the codes as folllows:
    9143 – KOL
    9153 – ROB (Resot Of Bengal)

    my review of MTS kolkata !
    MTS Prepaid plan (No Postpaid is there now)
    MTS Prepaid -Lifetime prepaid plan is cheapest with respect to any operators in Kolkata, only comparable offer comes from R-Com CDMA which needs Rs 555 Jadu pack to call all locals @ 50p/min.

    But they are not selling the SIM alone (FYI none do so, Tata Indicom, Reliance Mobile CDMA or Virgin Mobile), the CDMA factor working here, so if you wana take MTS connection you have to shell out over 1000 bucks. in Kolkata they r offering 2 handsets – one Samsung and one ZTE (I bought last one ‘coz ZTE set looks better than Samsung one) – no Huwaei handset comes here – Check MTS Kolkata Handset page. The Samsung superstar costs 1200/- and ZTE C339 costs 1000/- along with free SIM with lifetime validity(which costs Rs 49/- actually). Don’t expect hi-fi handset at this price, so these are very basic handsets.

    Now come to Msavers (STVs, actually):

    MSaver499 pack for local 10,00,000min free MTS 2 MTS call as 150min/day and 10SMS/day to all network
    Verdict: this offer is not going to be hit among general users. but if u r too caring lover may opt for it. in that case buy 2 sets and recharge one connection with it.

    MSaver 99- offers local calls to any mobile @30p/min and local landline calls @50p/min for lifetime
    Verdict: i think it’s going to be a hit !

    both of above are introductory offer, and for limited period of time and till stocks last. so grab them, i insist to buy Msaver99.

    apart from this two, Msaver 98(FREE CALLING TO MTS) offers local MTS-2-MTS free unlimited calling and MSaver 31 (SMS PACK) for Local & National 1000 SMS to all network ,both for 30days. There is another STD PACK MSaver27 to call STD @Re1/min for 30days [Note only STD tariff will change].

    Recharge vouchers Visit here
    [most RV offers full talktime deducting only S.T. , but Mini Fills deduct Rs2 as Admin Fee]

    MTS Care(Kolkata)
    9153155155 for Calling from other connections, 155 from MTS mobile
    Fax: 9153166166
    Email: 155.wb@mtsindia.in
    Review: Customer Care is good, new operator so no waiting to connect Customer care executives, they are helpful and has good knowledge on MTS.

    About Network : CDMA offers better coverage
    MTS network is good as per my experience, can’t say best now. calling is smooth and in 1-try,voice is clear.

    Value Added Services VAS :
    On Handset option is available.
    I am getting free News services via SMS. ! :)

    Missed Call Alert
    I get it free ,as a SMS during next call. :) Need to clarify it.
    **MTS SIM was not recognized by Nokia 6275 (bought with Reliance),which works with Tata Indicom SIM card. PIN Code is asked and ’12345′ or ’0000′ is not working!

    Conclusion: I thought if MTS came here with same plans of TN,Kerala circles it may fail to hit. But their intro plan is awesome with lifelong local mobile calling @30p/min without any power cards. In last five years, Kolkata saw new operators – Tata, R-Com GSM(Smart), Aircel, Virgin, MTS. And if you analyze the trend – for intro in a metro like kolkata new operators must offer low tariff to other network also to catch new customers to make a good customer base ‘coz if you offer free min to own netwrok people will not take it. that’s why Tata and virgin fails to knock the door properly, Just remind Reliance India Mobile launch – they offered price of handset converted to free recharge vouchers, but their Smart was a failure during launch due to poor network and no network sharing from other GSM operators like Airtel and Vodafone. Aircel stormed kolkata with Rs.246voucher for unlimited local calling and they made a good base snapping from BSNL, Airtel and Vodafone and then Smart’s Relaunching of 35p/min all loc calls for 1st 6months of connection during pan india launch of R-GSM! MTS just followed the rule, yeah remember another thing Kolkata is 1st metro to get MTS !! so they were very serious about it and launched just in 2 months of releasing news of ‘Kolkata is getting under radar of Red’. But only CDMA factor oppose them, still I don’t find enough respond from GSM users,but let me wait for 1 month ‘coz most shops deny to sell MTS as it’s CDMA. well I am hoping !dea(GSM) will come as 25p/min local call for lifetime before durgapuja in Kolkata.
    All the best,
