i was on airtel network in maharashtra sine it had rolled out of recent the network was the worst i dont think it could get worser despite repeated complaints for more than 6 months they were unable to resolve the problems.
so of recent i have shifted to reliance cdma+gsm awesome network.will give it some breathing space and to settle down before i expect a world class service.

@Rudra.D
Rudra im also using R-com GSM sim for the last couple of months i didnt find any problem like you said call drops or anything better you change your handset it may be the problem with your handset which is leading you to call drops and error in network connection

well R-Com sold thousands of SIMs! but most of them will not use R-Com GSM in future when their attractive offers will stop! Worst network in Kolkata – u must have lot of patience to call a no, u’ll get some sillyt errors like “Network Busy”"Error in Network connection”.Call to my no often just ends after 1 sec- its a missed call, as shown in my Cell. SMS delivery take 1-2 Hr to reach sometimes!
