Tata Docomo revised their 2G data packs in the line of the recent revision done by Airtel, Vodafone and Idea. While the data packs with recent hike in tariff still can be adjustable, the terms and conditions bundled with the plans are not digestable for most of the mobile users. Some of these T&C turns to be Hebrew for me!
Here goes the further explanation of Tata Docomo’s 2G internet packs’
Terms & conditions:
2. All the above packs will be available to Tata DOCOMO subscribers on Tata DOCOMO Home and Tata DOCOMO roaming network only.
So even you are in home circle, but your mobile tops up other operator’s signal and your data connection is on, the data usage will be not be deducted from your active data pack.
3. The packs are applicable on DOCOMOINTERNET APN only.
Did Tata Docomo change its normal APN? I asked to them and waiting for their reply.
9. Additional PDP charges may apply with some operators. PDP is an association between the Visited and Home Data network and is used for validation of the Data subscriber. This appears in the bill as charges against 0 Kb usages, which are billable.
- Do you understand anything about it? I asked for the explanation for majority of the customers.
11. Data pool benefits will be applicable on Dive in browsing only.
- Who is using DiveIn these days? I think nobody. Basically most of the VAS like alert services or update services should be killed off as people can check them out easily over internet. I am almost sure that this T&C is actually not applicable, otherwise we got thousands of comments!
12. Using your Device as a modem for a personal computer or other piece of electronic equipment (tethering) is not permitted.
- Tethering is NOT allowed. I am curious to know how older is the Tata Docomo dude who made this doctrine! Are we living in 2000? And basically Tata Docomo can not understand this, if people are using WiFi Hotspot!
Well if you can remember Tata Docomo messed up earlier on their CDMA data plans, as we shared here. Let’s see what happens!

Hello every body
Agar sb ka net problem Hai
To phir aap sb sarey compny ko bhul jao or India’s No1 and world No5 “Airtel” use karo 3G me aap sb koi bina koi sikayt ke kam se kam 300kbps tak dega agar netwrk thik na ho to.

mujhe mere mobile pe 500kb ps se last 3.86mbps tak speed gya tha or jab is ko laptop se use kiya to 6.1mbps tab se mai mann liya hun ki kuch v bolo Airtel is the best.
And supper dupper fast network in india.
THANXX FOR REDING THIS.

docomo people are just looting the people in name of mobile tethering benefit , they will even connect when balance is 0 and once you dissconect you will have huge minus in account. all connection will be at 3x speed reasong given by customer care even if u connect at 1 x . docomo is bound to loose all customer
sarath February 21, 2013 at 10:08 am
everyone should try bsnl,its awesome…. im in kerala circle,got 32KBps to 100KBps speed in 3g mode with 2g plan…….
Rahul February 19, 2013 at 7:14 am
All data packs are withdrawn from 9 districts of Rajasthan where tata do not have its own network. Only rate cutter plan is left Rs.16 – 1p/10 kb. Mass port out happening.
nithin p February 14, 2013 at 5:41 pm

Anirban Das February 13, 2013 at 2:37 am
@Rudra: Please check and publish TD’s all unlimited plan’s (Rs. 899) T&C.
srimanth February 12, 2013 at 10:19 pm
hello TT, please make detail report of different network 2g speeds with plans used by customers… so that it will be helpfull for others to choose the best data 2g network with area wise
Vighnesh February 12, 2013 at 9:30 pm
Tata docomo amused me first with the tethering speed-32kBPS constant and a 148rs 8gb plan.sadly found out truth that disconnection occurs every 40minuites.
port in from aircel,and i vow,aircel was the best,and i had to port as aircel stopped service in kerala.
I want to add some complaints.
1.auto activation of plans like rhyme school,comedy time,adult joke
what the shit!
Had to spend around 5rs to get refund of 15rs-25rs,as the executives are pricks,and dont get me refunds.
2.absolute worst no1 customercare 90percent people dont know what they are speaking.
When i told abt disconection issue,answers were
*off and on set sir
*create custom profile sir
*remove sim for 5min and try sir
*wil transfer to senior and putting on hold and making cal autodiscnct aftr 10min
3.once called customercare,can connect again after 1day.
Holy shit!
Waiting to get my 90days over to port to bsnl
nav February 12, 2013 at 7:49 pm

Sushil February 12, 2013 at 5:13 pm

Sushil February 12, 2013 at 5:17 pm
its not there in gujarat circle T&C..
Rajendra February 12, 2013 at 4:05 pm
How can they restrict tethering?
really confused..
does the APN allows only wap enabled web pages?
kingston February 12, 2013 at 11:25 am
Dear TT,
Please enable email notification otherwise your comment section should be failure one. For example if any one reply on my comment i should get email notification otherwise how can i see or know that reply? daily i cant open all articles. Its my suggestion.
Tarun February 12, 2013 at 11:43 am
Hi Kingston,
We have noted your concern and we are now working on it ! Thx 4 the heads up
kingston February 12, 2013 at 11:18 am
Major issue in Docomo is every 30 minutes the network will be disconnected automatically. So we can not download file above 30MB. Yesterday i tried to download AVG antivirus(120MB) but every 30 minutes connection disconnected and i cant download above 30MB of that file. I tried it through Download Manager (DAP) also but waste. Anybody know any tricks to download 100MB files in DOCOMO?
Pritam Saha February 12, 2013 at 12:51 pm
@ Kingston,
1.Use IDM (internet download manager, you can download it from torrent using u torrent, IDM will help you to download the file not only quickly, but also it can start the download where from the point it was stopped,
Say after downloading 30 mb, the connection disconnects, after reconnecting IDM will start downloading from that 30 mb, so you can download it in 4 attempts.
2. Download antivirus from torrent.
3. Use Aircel, it disconnects after 1 hr or 2 hr, sometimes after 12 hr also.
kimgston February 12, 2013 at 11:11 am
hi TT,
Previously once we entered name and email in comment, then next time when we open the browser no need to enter email id and name. But in your new website every time i need to enter name and email id to write comment. Please do neeful. Its really annoying. . .
Ripudaman Singh February 12, 2013 at 1:32 pm
Yeah! Its quite annoying to re-enter all he details again n again. Please look into this guys.
Arka February 12, 2013 at 8:06 am
for a long period of time,I used TATA DOCOMO(Pack 65/69-2.5GB,95-4GB) and VIRGIN MOBILE(Pack 201-12GB) for internet in my PC. But,now It is too pathetic to use it. It is too slow and too costly. And Now-a-days,I am looking that the automatic disconnection problem is in 30mins (prev.40mins). So,Buy buy TATA. you stay alone and Let your employees surf the GPRS from their own Mobile only.
I have recharged with BSNL Pack 301-8GB for 90days and it’s on 3G!! Yesterday I got the speed max 282KBpS!! I am from Kolkata.
AD February 12, 2013 at 12:54 am
MY DEAR TATA DOCOMO-PAISE KAMANE KA SUOK KHATAM HO GYA HEY KYA???? YA MNP SE JURURAT SE JADA CUSTOMER AA GYE HEY?
Rajesh February 11, 2013 at 11:49 pm
I am seriously planning to Port. I’m fed up of Tata docomo
Ripudaman Singh February 11, 2013 at 11:19 pm
Q:- Did Tata Docomo change its normal APN? I asked to them and waiting for their reply.
No, they didn’t. I am seeing DOCOMOINTERNET APN written on their website for the last two years. I Still don’t know the reason why they don’t they simply write TATA.DOCOMO.INTERNET
When I asked them about this tethering thing they told me this- “if you use want to use 2G internet pack using Dongle or by tethering on PC we won’t be able to assure you about the connectivity or speed.”
Sachin Ghulyani February 13, 2013 at 9:22 am
Yes, I am able to connect through the APN : TATA.DOCOMO.INTERNETHVC.
Don’t know what this HVC is for.
I am from Gujarat, using 3G in Docomo.
vaibhav r. tayade February 11, 2013 at 9:44 pm
tata photon plus modem naam ke liye 3.1 mb speed dikhata hai , the real fact is speed doesn’t reach up to 200kb/s
logo ko dhoka de rahe hai ye sab

Mayank Singh February 11, 2013 at 9:29 pm
How ridiculous?
I am just fed up with TD.Its network is very pathetic,getting switch b/w 2G & 3G every now and then.And quality of both voice and data services is bad.
Just out of curiosity,how would TD (technologically)stop a user from sharing their Internet.And how would they penalize such users?Its not possible,i think.
Not to mention,I have stopped using TD.
sudharsan February 11, 2013 at 8:52 pm
Docomo is going to loose data profit soon.
sugar February 11, 2013 at 8:50 pm
Real Nonsense by Docomo
sahil February 11, 2013 at 7:45 pm
TRAI please wake up…. create some rules where mobile operator should be bounded… every day, they are making their own rules what is this? don’t give them kind of permission where they are becoming a cheater please wake up
kingston February 11, 2013 at 7:44 pm
Tamilnadu:
Today i have recharged my docomo by 24rs. Due to valentine day i got 1400mb data for 7 days instead of 300mb. I can use my mobile as MODEM (tethering is still possible) and i can get download speed around 12KB/s at 6PM today. Better go for Reliance GSM for good internet because reliance giving same speed (12KB/s) but there is no fluctuation, pages are rendering smoothely and quickly.
S.Sudhakar February 12, 2013 at 6:33 am
Hey. I am also from TN. Reliance GSM coverage is WORST. It is only for the people who are resident in town or city and not the outskirts !!!. Try the speed of BSNL 2G.
To everyone :
Get a BSNL SIM and activate one day GPRS pack during valentine’s day. Note the main balance before browsing. Connect and open in.yahoo.com page (without flash animations). Disconnect. Now check the balance. This is just to check whether data packs are valid in the blackout days.
S.Sudhakar February 11, 2013 at 7:25 pm
Tethering is working in my Tamilnadu docomo SIM when inserted in Huawei E182E modem. The only thing is that you have to redial 3 or more times to get connected. Speed is between 15 to 25 KB/s (not kbps). I have checked my number’s main balance also. Not deducted anything.
dskushwaha February 11, 2013 at 10:11 pm
Not connecting at one go was already a problem with DoCoMo
S.Sudhakar February 12, 2013 at 6:30 am
I had SIM from all GSM operators before. All of them connected in the first attempt after proper driver installation of the data card. Only speed was worst. Now docomo’s speed has been improved.
In Tamilnadu (2G) :
The speed of BSNL, docomo, vodafone (costly) [in laptop using data card] is acceptable – 15 to 25 KB/s. It takes 3 hours and 15 minutes to download 215 MB.
Manu February 11, 2013 at 6:26 pm
Docomo is digging their own grave. One can only watch docomo once the revolutionary network now leading revolution in looting people
S.Sudhakar February 12, 2013 at 6:34 am
Cool man MNP is there.
Sachin Ghulyani February 13, 2013 at 9:31 am
Haha .. I need a ‘Like’ button here
jack February 11, 2013 at 5:05 pm
TRAI should do something about it…
The T&C should be decided by TRAI and should be same for every operator for each service.
Arjun Chandrashekar February 11, 2013 at 4:45 pm
Because of Poor Network Coverage DOCOMO is Not Able To Satisfy Customers of Towns/Cities/Villages.
Now I Think No Body in Karnataka Uses Docomo.
Because DOCOMO is So Worst Than Aircel in Terms of Coverage such that it is not recommendable.
dskushwaha February 11, 2013 at 3:32 pm
Instead of tethering not allowed, they should have said tetherong not passible (because of ultra slow speed).
dskushwaha February 11, 2013 at 3:29 pm
Plus.
Always.
-yes it is :p
* T&C: Plus always is applicable only on bills, deductions and stupidity.
Esmail February 11, 2013 at 3:28 pm
There is just one solution, port out from the A-Vo-I-D group and port in to MTNL, BSNL, Reliance, Aircel, Uninor, Videocon. let their average revenue per user decline substantially, then they will have only one way to survive, which is reducing the tariffs and having user friendly T&C’s
Himanshu February 11, 2013 at 2:34 pm
I suppose, Tata Docomo has found out a way of detecting if the connection is being tethered, this weekend I could not use my android phone to share internet over wifi
Ganesh February 11, 2013 at 2:32 pm
Oh yeah Docomo! You are do better than this! I have some ideas that can top your crappy plans!
1) Sell a GPRS for Rs. 98 for 1 GB and charge extra for people visiting facebook.
2) Block youtube/viemo and video sharing sites. If people want to access those, charge Rs. 198 for the same 1 GB.
3) Add a FUP note. For Rs. 98 1 GB plan, only 250MB is allowed at 2G speeds. Beyond FUP speeds will be reduced to 1 kilo bits / s.
4) Automatically redirect HTTP requests to DoCoMo WAP site and when people download from WAP portal, charge Rs. 200 for a dummy mobile game.
5) Last but not the least. Charge the customer extra during peak hours (morning 8 AM to 11 AM and 6 PM to 10 PM).
Nitin February 11, 2013 at 7:54 pm
I’m fully agree with you brother. TRAI has to do something for such a type of shame but unfortunately TRAI is also shame for us. In USA and other foreign country’s, there are UL planes available and these are 3G and 4G and India is still on 1 GB for 2$. WTF !!
If development will go in such a way, it will do not take so much time to INCREDIBLE INDIA.
Nandlal February 11, 2013 at 1:47 pm
what about the use of sim in usb modem?
Fahad February 11, 2013 at 1:39 pm
Inutile operator that’s what I and many believe DoCoMo is …As its name suggests they wont remain constant in their tariffs … Eg D o C o M o capital letter followed by a small letter and so on … Their is an up and a big down at the same time …
Now Time will decide the future of this Inutile operator as its coming up with some bunkum offers and terms…..

docomo became like airtel.In TN they are showing Gprs54 pack with 21 days validity in *141# menu.But once we activate it,sms comes saying validity is 14 days only.I spoke to cc for refund/extended validity.4 days passed.Nothing happens.Refund my money back cheaters.Gone are the days where tata is honest company a decade ago.
Tharun George February 11, 2013 at 1:07 pm
Only one answer to madness to docomo in last 1 year.
Docomo has gone nuts!!!!!!!!!
The operator who lead to lowest tariff in India is now leading to highest tariff India ever seen.
Why would docomo officials think people will pay high tariff on Docomo’s no coverage network?
Even Bankrupted operators like Reliance and Aircel didn’t do anything stupid like this.
sreedhar February 11, 2013 at 1:01 pm
Even if tethering is allowed, who has patience to cope-up with the speed of 3-4KBps
varun sharma February 11, 2013 at 12:53 pm
worst operator in todays date
iChaitanya February 11, 2013 at 12:39 pm
What bullcrap T&Cs are these?
Anyway, I used to be loyal TATA DOCOMO subscriber until 2 years ago when a young guy from their Nodal team talked in an extremely rude manner with me. He was almost verbally threatening me. Also, TATA DOCOMO stores are full of helpless employees sitting there just to earn their salary. Stay away from this crap network.
avis February 11, 2013 at 5:19 pm
Is Aircel giving good 2g speed in tamilnadu? Which network has good speed in tamilnadu?
Subhadeep Kanungo February 11, 2013 at 8:09 pm
@AVIS — Use BSNL to enjoy high speed.
SUDHARSAN February 11, 2013 at 9:49 pm
BSNL is 100% better than all money plucking data networks.
varun sharma February 11, 2013 at 12:34 pm
Tata Docomo is a big fuck.both tata docomo and tata indicom is a thief(chor).
They deduct rs 48.5 insted of rs 10 for using only 4.85 mb of data.
S.Sudhakar February 11, 2013 at 12:11 pm
Who uses docomo for internet in Tamilnadu?. Most of them use BSNL or Aircel. Worst and costly network.
Arjun Chandrashekar February 11, 2013 at 4:48 pm
Yes Even In Karnataka Too Docomo is Not Favourable Expect The National Highway 4 Docomo is Very Worst in All Rural Areas of Karnataka
spiderman February 11, 2013 at 12:08 pm
Stupid (Network + Plans + T &C)
