It has been nearly 4 years since in 2008 Telecomtalk did start its awesome journey with the focus of ‘tracking developments in Indian telecom industry’. I say it’s a wonderful journey with our beloved readers who always encourage us to deliver best for this telecom portal..
Since 2008 we are using same simple UI (User Interface), which may be a big bore to our readers, so we come up with a new looks which is as simple as it was, but with more features. The framework has been totally change, which you can see and now it is easier to navigate.
Here are the features of new design:
1. Minimal and clutter free design to improve readability.
2. Mobile responsive
3. Improved navigation for browsing content by Telecom Zone ( Under Implementation) and Telecom Operator.
4. Built on rock strong framework, Thesis 2.0 
5. Trending Stories: Featuring most viewed and popular posts of last 24 hours.
6. Latest news ticker for keeping users updated. ( Under Implementation)
Wait this is not the final UI ( user interface) you are seeing. I rather call it as BETA 1. We would be happy if our readers have any request for features which you like to see on Telecomtalk. We will try to add more new features in BETA 2. Do let us know via comments what need to changed and what features has to be removed.
Ripudaman Singh December 13, 2012 at 4:56 pm
I miss the previous look of site because it was quite simple.
One issue that was also there on previous UI is that I am unable to comment using my email ID- kabir.ja @ gmail.com
I have seen few other users too who are facig the same issue.
It’d be good to add a ‘like’ feature on the site.
Keshav Jha December 10, 2012 at 11:42 am
I liked this change. All comments in single page is superb. Editing of comments is also superb. I suggest, the top banner should be more attractive.
puneet December 10, 2012 at 11:12 pm
Thanks Keshav! Glad that you liked it.
Tarun December 11, 2012 at 1:12 am
Puneet is the one who designed the new TT theme so if you want to throw eggs you know whom ..
Taseer December 9, 2012 at 4:27 pm
I agree with most of the readers. The old look of your website was quite impressive and user friendly.
Magneta December 8, 2012 at 11:15 am
Please revert to old format… really feeling uncomfortable… not able to judge what am I doing here :p
Amit December 7, 2012 at 2:45 pm
Old was better than this, font style is not formal and decent, use calibri font which is quite impressive for reading.
Puneet December 10, 2012 at 11:27 pm
Hi Amit!
Thanks for your feedback.
Calibri is not a “web-font” and can’t be used for websites. If you are using a display with 1024*768px resolution you might have faced some issues with font sizing. But, we have fixed it.
Manoj Wadhwa December 6, 2012 at 11:19 pm
Previous theme was best. This theme does not suit …
Sathish, Gobichettipalayam December 6, 2012 at 12:33 pm
Big Relief for SMS Users:
AIRCEL & AIRTEL SMS services has been restored from today morning at 9:00 hrs.
sunil kushwaha December 6, 2012 at 12:02 pm
not so impressive, old was good
Jagannath December 6, 2012 at 1:11 am
Too much empty space here n there. Please remove it and make the font size little smaller too. The new UI is good otherwise
raj December 5, 2012 at 8:29 pm
Hi Tarun now its working in my mobile….. thank u
puneet December 10, 2012 at 11:31 pm
Hi Raj!
Glad that it’s working fine.
Let us know if you face any issues
rajiev December 5, 2012 at 11:44 am
recent comment should be on top!
puneet December 10, 2012 at 11:32 pm
Hi Rajiev
That’s how it’s right now. Are you seeing something different? Please let us know.
SHIBU K T December 5, 2012 at 11:19 am
The old UI was better in my opinion. Too much blank space everywhere. And isn’t the font size a bit bigger? Thank You.
Puneet December 10, 2012 at 11:34 pm
Hi Shibu
You might have found the font size bigger if you are using a display with 1024*768px resolution.
We have fixed that issue.
V.P.Guru December 5, 2012 at 7:56 am
You may run weekly polls and forward the results to operators marketing team and PRO’s. By this we may get some innovative and useful STV’s, offers etc.,
Since, I’m browsing ur page through mobile. Their is huge chance to get battery drain faster, the reason is white coloured theme. You may change the big color which suitable for both Day and Night readings.
Wish u all the very best to continue ur journey in success path.
anupa December 5, 2012 at 12:00 am
bad make a rollover
Ram December 4, 2012 at 11:03 pm
Thanks for accepting my feedback ! The older UI is better and easy viewing with quote and comments divided into page wise looks cool in s40 device ! Since majority people (my perception) reach ur website thru mobile, it should be easier like old UI!
krishna December 4, 2012 at 10:54 pm
TT,
The comments from TT members on reader’s comments should be displayed in different colors/font/
raj December 4, 2012 at 8:37 pm

Nice work done by TT team.
It’s Simply Super. The highlight is “News Tickers”.

Pls remove unwanted spaces.

RENJUCOOL December 4, 2012 at 2:00 pm

apurva December 4, 2012 at 12:43 pm
this ui is good , but in opera 7 java , it is not at it’s best
Arjun Chandrashekar December 4, 2012 at 12:12 pm
Well A Good Initiative by TT
Nagesh December 4, 2012 at 11:27 am
Tarun & Team, you guys have done extraordinary work towards telecomtalk. I really appreciate your journey and i wish you and your team a many more success in future. From telecomtalk inception am one of the reader and still am continuing the same, this is just not bcoz am reader, the in-depth information about telecom and your team dedication towards latest update made me crazy about Telecomtalk. I would also suggest you to extend your services for international telecom markets like SAARC, MENA, Africa…
Thanks
Nagesh
Ganesh December 4, 2012 at 11:13 am
This UI is super awesome! Love the font (Droid Serif)! Keep up the good work
Jagannath December 4, 2012 at 10:55 am
New look New passion. TT is smart now. I just need more colour in headlines that belongs to service provider’s colour.
novicefreak1 December 4, 2012 at 10:55 am
hi TT, congrats again n have you seen my comment posted yesterday…btb recap “TT congrats for new look….seems impressive…but initial 30% of real estate to be scrolled to look at 1st article….needs some improvement here……”
pl add an option to change the background color to of user choice. As mentioned above by fellow TT reader,,,,,this white background is souring on my eyes…cant look for long…..pl pl pl change….I prefer darker tones as back ground this has two reasons one ur eyes will not strain two in order to provide max white the pixels need to pump extra power this increases extra energy consumption think eco,,,think green is my concept.. or atleast provide at user end to change it.. eg.like gmail…..Thanks…

Sandeep December 4, 2012 at 10:30 am
Font is too big. Have to scroll a lot unlike the previous theme.
Misbah December 4, 2012 at 10:17 am
The new UI is refreshing. Great work guys!! The only gripe I have is that there is too much of whitespace around and somehow the focus on the main posts is just not there. If somehow the web designer could make the posts the main highlight of the website, that would be great. Looking forward to an improvement.
Cheers
Ram December 4, 2012 at 9:53 am
In CHENNAI :
How to make complaint in vodafone ? 198 and 111 both nos are voice responsive service and its very horrible and time consuming a lot to contact cc !

pratik December 4, 2012 at 9:14 am
its looks nice…happy with it..it will be more good if you add some light colors in its plain white design
Jay December 4, 2012 at 8:37 am
The “Select telecom operator” drop down is at top right corner of the page, and only a part of it is visible. Moreover, there is no horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of page, and viewing the details in that drop down is a bit difficult. Please look into this. (I’m using Mozilla Firefox 16.0.2 version)
A small suggestion, the BG Colour is white and it is pretty bright when compared to the old UI. Can you put some variations of grey or some other suttle colour as BG. The page is very bright, when we watch the monitor with lights off.
ADeshmukh December 4, 2012 at 8:33 am
Very large font. I like old interface.
Prashoor December 4, 2012 at 7:18 am
Exclusively new UI…
Congrats brother… It is really enjoyable to have this new format for improved and enriched reading.
Love this new UI.
Amit December 4, 2012 at 6:59 am
Its very beautiful Tarun, Good going!!!
Esmail December 4, 2012 at 2:15 am
The right side column is more than 1/3 the total width of the site which means a lot of wastage of space which does not do justice to the matter of the article and is not pleasing to the eye, the ideal width of the right side column should be 1/4 of the total width of the site. Also since the Telecom operator quick selection drop down menu has been added to the top of the screen, continuing to have the names of telecom operators as links in the ‘Categories’ section in the right side column is pointless and repetitive, rather have the Telecom operator name only in the drop down menu, and keep the Categories section for other options like 3G, 4G, MNP etc.
rudresh December 4, 2012 at 12:41 am
new UI is really awesome , news ticker is gr8, totally TT is super ,i love new look
max December 3, 2012 at 10:49 pm
seems comment lines are over highlighted in this new look, rest is awesome
Rafi December 3, 2012 at 10:43 pm
the drop down option ‘select telecom operator’ on the top of the page gives the same results, like when selected (the same operator) from the categories list.
are you yet to add some more functionality to that?
Chiranjeev December 3, 2012 at 10:35 pm
Nice.. design.. It’s looks cool now.
Arka Chatterjee December 3, 2012 at 10:18 pm
awesome looks. but,I dnt want to input my NAME,Email every time before post a comment.and my suggestion is that make some design in page(e.g. borders,different colours).Now,it’s looking like a white piece of paper!!
overall,It’s good enough. congrats.
Vivek December 3, 2012 at 10:11 pm
love the new look but still “Mobile Operator Codes” page sucks. it is taking a lot of time…..please do some thing
VATSA December 3, 2012 at 10:09 pm
Surprised when I saw the website this morning, thought browsed to a wrong url and then alas ! it was the same telecomtalk.info with a sexy look … looks grt.
Idris December 3, 2012 at 10:07 pm
Its cool but needs space management there is some extra empty space every where.
Shirish December 3, 2012 at 9:59 pm
Hey Guys, Please don’t make the page background white, I am a regular computer user as well as a user of telecomtalk since long time. I request you to to make the page background darker so that eyes should not get tensed. Even at low brightness & low contrasts it gives additional stress on eyes, Need your attention to this point.
S.SUDHAKAR December 3, 2012 at 9:12 pm
Old look was better.
Asif December 3, 2012 at 9:06 pm
Very nice and responsive design. Loved the loading speed.
KLPDHG December 3, 2012 at 8:47 pm
How about adding recharge links of all telecom operators? And it would be better if you come up with your own recharge service for mobile phones
Samuel December 3, 2012 at 8:31 pm
Impressive…
Suresh Kumar R December 3, 2012 at 8:25 pm
I like the changes, I feel Old UI still not bad. I request TT team to consider the following my opinion. Fonts to be changed, border for ads and all news items to be introduced. Floating menu on either left or right side carrying link for home and comments. Good that all the comments in one page. I wish and congrats the team worked for this and I believe within some time frame it will be good shape.
Devesh Prabhu December 3, 2012 at 8:18 pm
It really was a nice surprise when I opened your email and got to know that you had changed your UI and it is elegant.
I know some of your readers have been complaining (read commenting) that the pictures and fonts look big, but I can’t really comment on that as I’m using a 21.6″ screen and it does seem somewhat normal at a resolution of 1680×1050, it’s tough call to make and you’re the best judge of that.
This, I would say, is a better design from the previous ones and also looks good on the mobile front and I’ve been experimenting with some for my blog amateurishly and still have to find the right balance for the same…I think i’ll take some pointers from your site.
And by the way, you do need to change the icon that comes in the tabs. With the current upgrade in the website re-branding an up-to-date icon would also add to the site’s new look.
Regards,
Devesh Prabhu
Mehboob December 3, 2012 at 8:17 pm
Old one was good. user friendly.
Kirti Raj Chahar December 3, 2012 at 8:17 pm

Amit Deb Biswas December 3, 2012 at 7:57 pm
WoW !!!!!!!! What a Cooooooooooool Looooooooooooooooooooook………..
MA December 3, 2012 at 7:48 pm
MNP USER EXPERIENCE tab is MISSING, albeit you can enter it in address bar. Also, all comments are missing from that page.
Adil December 3, 2012 at 7:16 pm
That’s the reason for why telecom talk was not opening in afternoon….
shabir ahmad December 3, 2012 at 7:14 pm
u never trac any news regarding developments or any news from J&K Telecom Circle As U Did From Other Circles Of India
sAm December 3, 2012 at 6:45 pm
Great one TT !!
Sayantan December 3, 2012 at 6:35 pm
Thesis is beautiful, very easy to customize,
samiran December 3, 2012 at 6:30 pm
UI in good form. I am suggesting to add all circle customer care number and update data pack in a simple form.
Samantha Dixit December 3, 2012 at 6:25 pm
Ui designer gets my 100 out of 100
Amit December 3, 2012 at 6:25 pm
Its good but on my Andriod mobile, Opera Mini it does not open properly like previously it should be.
Kindly fix it. Otherwise its a good move.
Samantha Dixit December 3, 2012 at 6:23 pm
Awesome website. UI designer gets 100 marks out of 100

Hahah ya issue with api will put a manual one soon
Jeet December 3, 2012 at 6:10 pm

Thanks to Telecom Talk Team for briging up such a Good Website http://telecomtalk.info which can view while on Move i.e on Desktop, Laptop, Tabs & Mobile.
Ram December 3, 2012 at 6:05 pm
The new UI of TT is clean and clear but not user friendly especially not mobile friendly (s40) !
Tarun December 3, 2012 at 7:46 pm
Ram, for s40 browsers we are working on a separate mobile site which can be viewed at m.telecomtalk.info even its under testing will take time to implement
Ram December 4, 2012 at 11:00 pm
Thanks for accepting my feedback ! The older UI is better and easy viewing with quote and comments divided into page wise looks cool in s40 device ! Since majority people (my perception) reach ur website thru mobile, it should be easier like old UI !
Tharun George December 3, 2012 at 6:04 pm
Also the background is now white and site look whole as white paper. Please put some border separating article and other stuff at side. Or use different back grounds.
Tarun December 3, 2012 at 7:44 pm
Thanks for the nice suggestion, we will implement that
Tharun George December 3, 2012 at 6:01 pm
I liked the old interface. I feel old interface was uniqe and had never seen it in any website.
This new interface is very common. Also lettters and pictures are showing enlarged on desktop screen. It seems everything is enlarged.
Tarun December 3, 2012 at 7:40 pm
Opps !!! Let me take up with the developer on the same will try to make some changes on that part as well ..
DUANE December 3, 2012 at 8:21 pm
Tarun – pls do NOT make change for those who find the fonts “big” on their screen… instead suggest them to switch to a 1280 / 16xx resolution screen size… that WILL make it smaller!
>> Also lettters and pictures are showing enlarged on desktop screen. It seems everything is enlarged.
Sougata Das December 3, 2012 at 5:55 pm
Looks good, but fonts looks kinda big for me. Also please minimize the numbers of ads on the page.
Tarun December 3, 2012 at 5:57 pm
@Sougata Das,
Noted will be taken care of that !
Kunal December 3, 2012 at 5:46 pm
Love the new clean design amazing work to people who have worked on it full marks to the designer, loads like a charm in Mobie.
Tarun December 3, 2012 at 5:49 pm
Thanks Kunal, we are still working on the UI so you can see more features and changes in coming days ..
