TelecomTalk Impact: Vodafone Brings TRUE Mobile GPRS Plan!

TelecomTalk Impact: Vodafone Brings TRUE Mobile GPRS PlanExactly 20 days back we had reported on Vodafone’s Mega Untrue GPRS Plan (*Unlimited 95 Pack). We had deliberately listed a  huge List of services which Vodafone was unable to Provide read more at Vodafone India Upsets Its Huge GPRS Userbase With An ‘Untrue’ GPRS Plan .

We received hundreds of comments and critics about the plan today we have some good news for frustrated Vodafone Live!  users who were denied of accessing Internet on PC(using Phone), Mails and Other Third Apps which needs Socket Connection.

Things have changed and Vodafone seems to have learnt with its mistakes now Vodafone has made major changes in its *95 Unlimited Internet Pack.Now it Provides all Services like any other Operator viz.

1.Configure Mail Boxes, Use Push Mails

2.Connect Mobile to PC and Surf Internet

3.Access any Third Party Applications (socket Connection enabled) .

What’s More!
Earlier the customer had to activate Vodafone Mobile Connect exclusively to avail these Services.Vodafone Mobile Connect Service had a very high Pricing (199Rs to get 200Mb of free usage for a month).One of our reader had estimated it would cross Rs15,000 for 2GB using VMC.

Now Vodafone Customers can make use of Vodafone Mobile Connect access point without any activation or Special Pack With *95 Unlimited Pack you get Vodafone Mobile Connect activated by default.

Internet on PC using Phone
For those who wish to use Internet on PC with Vodafone 95 Pack, use www in APN while Connecting to your Laptop or PC.

We Sincerely Thank our readers who made this possible with intense debate, We received huge response from your end.

To Vodafone: Thanks, its not too late you are still in the race.

*Vodafone Live Unlimited 95 Pack differs on Region, MRP 98 in Some Region

DISCLAIMER: We have Tested This in Karnataka Region, We have Received an Official SMS from Vodafone at 5:30pm 17th August Stating  ”Enjoy Unlimited Mobile Internet with 95 GPRS Pack. Now Also Use Internet by making Phone as your Modem”

Vodafone Might Be Testing This New Plan, Try at your Own Risk.. No Need to Activate any VMC service, The VMC should work by default (APN:www) with 95 GPRS Pack.

    s m ashiq :
    Still Vodafone is untrue towards its Postpaid Customers.

    i agree although they are offering 99 rs rental for unlimited usage – its only for a select few customers in mumbai circle.
    try your luck by sending act vl99 to 111. waiting for number portability to move away from them forever

    One more thing also they have to correct, i.e if one want to experience 3days gprs plan(in which we’re getting 200mb)
    Do u know its processing if one want to start the plan from tomorrow means he has to recharge today night then only it will be get activated from tomorrow morning
    When i asked customer care regarding this matter they told nearly it will take 4 to 5 hrs to come to effect after recharge
    People who don’t know this matter they s going to face reduction in their balance. Once i also experienced this situation .
    So the vodafone has to correct this drawbak or else it will be dumped legally by its subscribers

    Vodafone still sucks for GPRS Plans. the Rs 95 plan is for prepaid customers. For Postpaid customers, Vodafone Mobile Connect is still charged at Rs 500 for 500 MB and Rs 200 for 100 MB. I get 1/4th of data usage at 5 times the price- who came up with that calculation?

BUT AIRTEL IS LOSING CUSTOMERS BECAUSE OF WORST NETWORK COVERAGE, POOR OFFERINGS AND BAD CC YESTERDAY I WENT TO AN AIRCEL GALLERY AND ONE OF THE BUSINESSMAN HAD COMMUNICATED WITH AIRCEL AND THE AIRCEL MEMBER COMMUNICATED WITH THEM VERY SOFTLY. SO HE IS VERY SATISFIED BY THEM.

    There is no need to be so excited that only your news here make Vodafone to rethink and re-work on their GPRS plans. You posted about it 20 days back but if you can check I had discussed the same on Vodafone India facebook page many days before the posting of your article on Telecomtalk.
