![Uninor Offers Cheapest 2G Data Plans [June 2013]](http://telecomtalk.info/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Uninor-GPRS-packs-70x70.jpg?80e5e9)
So atlast Mobile Number Portability (MNP) is going to be implemented in India. It has been delaying for 2 years from June 2009.
With MNP in hand, subscribers become more powerful in the multi-SIM environment of Indian telecom.
Though ICRA reports MNP can affect mobile operators in a short term basis, and other surveys (including Telecomtalk ‘s Polls – Which Operator Will You Leave Once MNP Come Into Place? & Which Operator Will You Board Once MNP Come Into Place? ) shows almost similar trends i.e. in and out flow of the subscribers for the operators are more or less similar, so profit/loss due to MNP will be minimal.Need to check details of the MNP, VISIT HERE.
But as 3G is coming, and data will be the main momentum of telecom sector in coming days with voice tariff war is stabilized, MNP can be lethal for some operators. If MNP is considered as cricket ball, with 2G means medium pacer is bowling and with 3G means its fast bowler! So non-3G players in circle-to-circle will have churns in coming days with MNP hits in.
As we conducted polls on MNP, we find out the following picture of post MNP telecom picture:
*The data used in the graph is per hundred (%).
**The poll result is based upon 986 votes ‘Which Operator Will You Board Once MNP Come Into Place?’ and 880 votes on ‘Which Operator Will You Leave Once MNP Come Into Place?’ as of (12:19am Jan 20-2011).
The poll result says a maximum of 27% voters like to leave Airtel and at the same time maximum 21% of users said they will move to Tata Docomo from their current operator.
This poll result can’t be taken as an accurate picture, as it is based upon only the users who voted on Telecomtalk’s MNP polls.
We can say most voters of these polls are from urban areas who have access to internet. As more people will be aware of MNP, MNP will be more helpful for massess.

Incorrect information ! PSUs, i.e. BSNL & MTNL does not have PAN INDIA presence. BSNL have services only in 20 circles and MTNL in 2. However, they have only half baked roaming arrangements. An MTNL subscriber when roams in the 20 circles of BSNL circles when calls any other pvt. operator has to pay Rs.1.50 pm., to say sarcastically even in Mahrashtra/Goa. MTNL is cheap with all their plans in only in the courtyard of Mumbai. MTNL have penny wise & pound foolish plan – you can Call USA, and other countries form Mumbai & Delhi @ Re.1/- …..!!!!!

@kingston
taking 45 rs without activating by u is not a decent activity by TATA
kingston January 22, 2011 at 1:10 am
TATA DOCOMO customer service is very decent. Today they took Rs.45 for caller tune. I called customer care and they refunded that Rs.45 within 10 minutes. Great customer service.

stephen January 21, 2011 at 8:13 am
airtel in kerala sucks… better go for Idea/BSNL
kuttu January 21, 2011 at 1:52 am
never choose airtel in kerala….its suckssssss
..specially in trivandrum
Abhijith January 21, 2011 at 1:36 am
Idea now much better in coverage bec now they sharing towers in many place ! MTS not so well in coverage ! Virgin gsm and videocon sharing spectrum of tata docomo ! @Raghu
Abhijith January 21, 2011 at 1:17 am
U r correct idea in tamilnadu is fast widening its coverage @Vicky
Sujith January 20, 2011 at 11:42 pm
My bsnl validity ended yesterday.But i have its UPC code.Can i port it now?wil there be any objection from bsnl?
Raghu January 20, 2011 at 10:43 pm
@surya
In My area Docomo is not that good. I Use Reliance and Vodafone mainly.
Sayan Das January 20, 2011 at 10:31 pm
yeah, i’m sure i entered a space. i had a spare vodafone sim, sms’d with the same format, it instantly gave UPC also without deducting anything @Shahul Hameed
Shahul Hameed January 20, 2011 at 10:11 pm
Are you sure that you have entered a space after PORT?@Sayan Das
surya January 20, 2011 at 10:02 pm
@Raghu
dude dont go for idea…an idea ruins ur life not change ur life lol..go for docomo bro..its n/w is good and has excellent offers…btw which n/w do u use?
rohan January 20, 2011 at 9:48 pm
Airtel started giving free sim wid 200rs + sms+ gprs on 20th to show its increase in cust base. I hate airtel they are king of inactive nos.
Sayan Das January 20, 2011 at 9:35 pm
i sms’d this from my airtel no.
PORT 9831928089
to 1900
but i got a sms like this in return-
“you have entered an incorrect code.SMS PORT to xxxx and initiate a new port in request”
moreover Re.1 was deducted for the sms.
can anyone help me??
madhab January 20, 2011 at 9:20 pm
bsnl and airtel is the best.
ajay, assam January 20, 2011 at 8:51 pm
reliance ko bye, bye…
good morning BSNL….
joseph January 20, 2011 at 8:43 pm
I prefer BSNL for the highest 3G coverage and for lowest data usage charges….
Jayanth MP January 20, 2011 at 8:38 pm
The biggest fear of some users was loss of number (Airtel making most of this) now that MNP is here….it will be all about service and cost effectiveness. Uninor in Bangalore is good value for money. So switching to their network seems like a good idea.
Sittrarasu January 20, 2011 at 8:22 pm
I’m proud to be an Aircel customer…..I won’t go from it
karthi January 20, 2011 at 8:00 pm
idea is not good coverage in ente tn; compare with uninor ; idea tariff is excellent but not in coverage ;
bharath January 20, 2011 at 7:23 pm
my gues is correct,but little change in idea so many will go…..sure huh huh
Sreenivasa reddy January 20, 2011 at 6:37 pm
I think it is going to be worse for vodafone and airtel.
Raghu January 20, 2011 at 6:17 pm
@surya
what abt Idea?
GAURAV KUMAR January 20, 2011 at 6:11 pm
from the above graph if the voter did the same as they have voted then “AIRTEL” its going to be very worst for u
GAURAV KUMAR January 20, 2011 at 6:08 pm
@Fad
dude u r doing the right i my view
surya January 20, 2011 at 6:08 pm
i’ve been a airtel,idea prepaid customer and recently a year back i shifted to tata docomo..and i must say man this network is kickass…..i was unhappy with airtel cuz of its pricy prepay offers..it looked like i was using a postpaid connection…docomo has a good coverage in A.p and its offers r kickass…..sms and gprs offers r awesome compared to any other operator..i’m pretty satisfied…..and lastly this site is awesome…
vikkymath January 20, 2011 at 6:07 pm
Yeah according me to Airtel would lead the race in loosing its customers. Bsnl would rock, we’ve seen in haryana. Airtel would Suck this time. i’ve noticed that airtel is trying to get new customers by an sms to other network. They should instead save their customers. docomo,Bsnl,aircel would be benfited by MNP according to me..
PD January 20, 2011 at 6:02 pm
All the telecom operators, also known as ‘stake-holders’ who are interested ‘level-playing’ should take the TT’s indicative analysis for making an introspection and trying to improve themselves. All are interested in only PORT-IN ! And for this each and every one is showering offers (implicit and/or explicit), and in most cases they are tempting too and hence not easy to refuse.
All of them have opened their own predatory web-page frames to welcome by asking to input number/name etc. (of frustrated ones of opponents in the same field)! All these time none of them bothered or cared except creating a CUSTOMER CARE portal/call centre ! They should try to keep the flock together rather than adopting predatory techniques ! For this best option could be having another frame in web-page to find out why they are PORTING-OUT ! Well will they ……………………..?
Vicky January 20, 2011 at 5:59 pm

Reply came as ^MNP Not yet launched in ur service area 1900 chargeable thank you^
Raghu January 20, 2011 at 5:26 pm
@Vicky
so in your circle, Vodafone,Idea are the best and third best will be Airtel. How is Tata Indicom network thr?
Fad January 20, 2011 at 5:21 pm
I am leave form airtel and iam choosing best operatar what your opinion
rajiev January 20, 2011 at 5:13 pm
i m ideacellular postpaid customer, since2002, and now i m happy with ideacellular, and now using idea combo plan
Tagore Varma January 20, 2011 at 5:08 pm
I am puzzled by huge ad campaign by Vodafone assuring customers of its “help”. What do they mean in carrying out that costly ad campaign without offering any tangible benefits to current or prospective custodmers? The problem with Airtel, Vodafone and Idea is that they spend lot of money on mindless ads while at the same time exploiting their customers. The ads too annoy us with their high sounding messages but little to interest the customer. Vodafone spent crores of rupees on these useless ads in newspapers in AP which neither attract new customers nor help existing users. On the other hand, MTS which rarely advertises, has excellent coverage, at least in city, and affordable tariffs. More affordable than the state-owned BSNL, whose hairbrained executives still think 1.2 paise per second for offnet calls is clever strategy!
Vicky January 20, 2011 at 4:48 pm
@Raghu
Idea has good coverage when comparing wit uninor and videocon
since idea is late entrant in tn circle
tariff is excellent here
about virgin
we cant even find retailers for recharging virgin network
Raghu January 20, 2011 at 3:03 pm
@Vicky
that is good abt Uninor, where they have coverage they give excellent voice clarity even with one signal. How is MTS , Idea,Tata Indicom,Virgin CDMA/GSM in TN?
Vicky January 20, 2011 at 2:49 pm
no chance bro
they are slow in expansion
atleast they wil take 3 years
many cities are also in zero network
but where they have coverage
they have quality,excellent indoor coverage and connectivity
Raghu January 20, 2011 at 2:03 pm
@Vicky
do u think can Uninor compete with Vodafone in Coverage everywhere in TN in the next 6 months-1 year?
Raghu January 20, 2011 at 1:57 pm
@ARJUN CHANDRASHEKAR
i do not think in the near future Aircel will improve in AP. but DOCOMO is improving slowly in AP
Rudradeep Biswas January 20, 2011 at 1:56 pm
thanks for all comments here. I hope MNP will b a path breaking stuff in indian telecom sector!
Vicky January 20, 2011 at 1:54 pm
@Benny
In TD
Evening peak hours gprs connectivity is worst
but call clarity and connectivity no problem and tariff also very good
(Call clarity is best in uninor and voda only..better in airtel and TD .,worst in aircel)
rc89 for all local calls 1p /2s for 90 days validity in TD
Check urself fully in nazareth and surrounding area whether TD has good coverage
Since in some area indoor coverage is poor in TD
Network wise i think vodafone is best and has fully covered in TN Than aircel and bsnl
Giridhar January 20, 2011 at 1:50 pm
Its funny to see that Idea is neither a looser nor gainer in this graph. They have been promoting their ‘Get and Idea’ concept since ages. But ya.. Airtel is one of the most Love-to-hate-it brand in India and as the poll says, they wud be the biggest loosers
apoorv January 20, 2011 at 1:26 pm
No Problem m stick to my airtel for the last 10 yrs…so no issue of change.
best roaming coverage and connectivity,
best customer service.
Airtel Rocks…..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jitendra January 20, 2011 at 1:25 pm
In Future MTNL Mumbai will be the lowest roaming call rates operator for entire Country may be 45p/min & 1p/sec for any network. Wait & watch MTNL team are doing the same to reduce the roaming charges on priority basis to avoid porting to other ops from his loyal subscribers.
apoorv January 20, 2011 at 1:23 pm

@Amit.G
yes Docomo is good in AP when compared to Aircel.
ARJUN CHANDRASHEKAR January 20, 2011 at 12:43 pm
@Amit.G Man I’ll Agree With You TATA DOCOMO Has Good Coverage In Karnataka and AP But Worst Connectivity and Quality.

Dude Tuty is my Native n I work in Tirunelveli. N go to Nazareth every weekend. And wherever i have been in TN i have had good TD coverage. But perhaps in uninhabited
places n small villages only Aircel n BSNL may have coverage. Can u tell me how is the network quality and voice quality in TD? Did u have any call drops n all?
Abhijit January 20, 2011 at 12:08 pm
But what about roaming charges?? MTNL is present only in Mumbai & Delhi circle and rest of India has BSNL network…
On other hand Airtel & Vodafone are Pan India operator having there presence in all 23 circles.. So we can reduce roaming rates to 0.70ps/min or 0.80ps/min in Airtel or Vodafone..
But in MTNL no option, we strictly have to pay Rs.1.50/min from roaming BSNL network… So let first MTNL reduce there national roaming charges to 1ps/sec or Rs.0.50/min then only we think of Porting to MTNL..
BSNL another PSU giving roaming rates of 1ps/sec or 0.49ps/min since last more than one year now..
Debojyoti January 20, 2011 at 12:01 pm
I have an MTS CDMA number, bu MNP can I transfer this CDMA number to a BSNL GSM number ???
Arup January 20, 2011 at 11:53 am
Hi!everybody,I am from westbengal.here many of my friends talking about this mnp service and said that airtel will be the great looser.but my dear friends this is just starting,you have to see the result after 3 months.But I surely tell u that vodafone will be the greatest looser in Kolkata(WB).I’d worked in vodafone about 3 months.tooooooooooo much bad service,specially unwanted VAS activation.
Mustan January 20, 2011 at 11:52 am
I am waiting on my toes to hear from someone who has gone and done the porting formalities.
Sathish January 20, 2011 at 11:25 am
I am from chennai and using Airtel for last 4 years. I really didn’t have any issues with coverage in whole TN. but the cost is little bit high, and so mostly i will shift to docomo. Docomo coverage is improving in TN and not that much best like Airtel
Vicky January 20, 2011 at 11:23 am
@Benny
Bro i am also from tuticorin
i have all sim except videocon
If u wil be in main part of city always
then docomo is good one good coverage in city
if u wil go nearby villages or wil travel a lot then docomo is not suitable for you
If any doubts regarding other networks also u can ask me
btw i am also airtel user for last 5 years
Swapnil January 20, 2011 at 11:23 am
Well said, lootne ka agar shauk hai toh jaroor marte dum tak raho, Wherever you go airtel will pick your money. You keep your pocket always open
Swapnil January 20, 2011 at 11:17 am
Waha par bhi Sukh, samadhan naa mile toh BSNL pe port ho kar dekhna uske baad tumhare Rs 19 hamesha ke liye save ho jaayenge, 1 photograph, xerox ka kharcha bhi bach jaayega.CAF bharne ki taklif bhi kum ho jaayegi aur naye SIM card ke bhi paise bach jaayenge. Saath mein dher saare benifits bhi milenge jo BSNL ne changover subscribers ke liye rakhe hai.
Debjyoti Roy January 20, 2011 at 11:17 am
A great movement by the Govt. I’d like to port vodafone to Docomco.
Qais Abrar January 20, 2011 at 11:16 am
I a county where we have Dual Sim Phone. I feel like there will be impact only in the initial stages. Operator who do marketing they will be the winner
Tata Docomo’s Advantages and disadvantages over Vodafone(I am using both sim card)
Tata Docomo
1) Rs 250 Full talk time.
2) Call rates 1p/2s (Bonus card 45 rs)
3) Very good GPRS speed.
4) Customer support Very good
5) 3G ready .
5) Indoor Coverage and highway coverage should be improved.
Vodafone network coverage is the best in kerala,
I am a user of Vodafone since 2000 then Bpl Mobile.I was a very happy Bpl Mobile Customer( They Do what thay say, good customer support, A company for poor, fighting for new towers in our area go 3 towers in 1 years).And now vodafone will install tower in 2 months. Things has changed since 2006 when Bpl mobile was taken over by hutch. They re branded Bpl to Hutch introduced GPRS in 2006(Can u believe it). Vodafone came to india in 2007. 2008 hutch was re branded to vodafone..
Now in 2011 they are the best in coverage and only for rich.
I should appreciate TATA DoCoMo for what they have done at launch.

Agreed, not only for Bangalure but this truth is for entire country. Airtel wiil be the biggest looser in telecom industry. BSNL & MTNL Mumbai both are 3G service provider would be the king of mobile market in coming days. Thanks MNP, Thanks to Freedom from cruel operators. My most of the Airtel, VF friends are porting their 4years old numbers to MTNL Mumbai for 3G & no fake VAS activation.

@Karthik Kumar V G Im also with airtel in RoTN circle and i have had lots of bad experiences… severe network congestion in the evening, bad signal strength, unwanted VAS activation like some stupid friends chat which i dint even hear of, high pricing etc. now im glad i can continue using my 6 year old airtel number in DOCOMO network
Vikas January 20, 2011 at 10:34 am
Only 986 voters can’t judge the overall situations. Does this survey make any sense? What about the remaining 650 Million users?
Karthik Kumar V G January 20, 2011 at 10:13 am
I hope this survey will come true atleast in Chennai. Over the past one year airtel coverage is very bad in chennai. Also even if we have full signal strength we can’t connect to another airtel number…I am facing this problem for the past one year both in my office and at home complained to airtel several time but it’s of no use..Since my number is corporate number and can’t change i am struck with this bad network…so will change to either vodafone or bsnl…e
Benny January 20, 2011 at 10:11 am
As far as i know and heard from other docomo users.. docomo has better coverage thatn airtel in tamil nadu@Amit.G
Benny January 20, 2011 at 10:08 am
Hey does anyone of the readers or TT bloggers know what on earth is wrong with Airtel’s website. They have removed all their plans, stvs etc from their website… Now they have only the basic tariff vouchers like 1p/sec, 50p/min, life time validity pack with re 1/min etc…
All plans with 10p/min, 20p/min, 30p/min A to A calls, sms packs, ISD packs have all disappeared from their site over a month back.
For the leading mobile operator in India this is not good.
Do u guys know if they r upto something?
roshan January 20, 2011 at 9:59 am

@sukanta
please friend don”t comment like this ,I m not a BSNL supporter but this is an advice to you when you write something on a blog be a broad mind and think big who you are i don”t know may be from airtel side but this blog is for all operator not for airtel and u have no right to call the people poor for using BSNL, and if BSNL is poor then for your information they are giving rs 100 TT and free sim to all who comes to their network on MNp and your richest AIRTEL is giving nothing till now , so you the rich guy please tell your rich FRIEND to give some offer where poor are giving the rich is looking …………so don”t go hypothetical be positive and stay neutral…………..
Amit.G January 20, 2011 at 9:53 am
Ur wrong ARjun, Docomo is having better coverage than AIrcel in Karnataka & AP.
Benny January 20, 2011 at 9:49 am
@TT Had u put this poll out 10 days back u would have had 10′s of thousands of votes perhaps. Anyways for a couple of days the present number of votes is good
S H A N T A N U January 20, 2011 at 9:49 am
docomo can be good in chennai not in rotn only aircel the best
santosh January 20, 2011 at 9:46 am
it seems from 2 to 3 days some guys are fighting mostly over DOCOMO and AIRCEL, it seems like both these operators are have to improve their networks, as both guys are indicating fault to each other and surely all operators have good points as well as some demerits, it varies circle to circle,but one thing is sure that no operator emerges as the best in the survey, THANKS to the TT team for the survey, hope this will push the operators to improve in all respect and think twice,and still the game is just begin so all of us lets watch where the wind will blow……………..
Manoj Abhigyan January 20, 2011 at 9:40 am
Anyone can port Internet Data Card also through Mobile Number Portability(MNP).
Ankit January 20, 2011 at 9:39 am
why people going to docomo in mumbai i use it it network is bad charges are also bad like u talk 4 10 sec dey charge 12p dey say ur phone is wrong lolz how can it be wrong wen ur call duratin is started wen d phone is piked up
secondly d schemes of docomo are not good i feel videocon has best schemes and good network also but 1 problem i guess no awarenees

Aircel produces many products and providing good services for subscribers… And they introduces blyk for youths,Pocket internet,Pocket App, INQ,Peek,Blackberry,WIP,Face book voice updates,Mconference+ etc… Most of the people from tamilnadu satisfied with the tariff of AIRCEL.
Switch to a new world of possibilities with Aircel and retain your mobile number.
ARJUN CHANDRASHEKAR January 20, 2011 at 8:28 am

And People Considers Coverage and QoS along with Tariffs May Be Tata Docomo is Having Good Tariffs But Network Coverage is worst than Aircel in All Over South India
shabir khan January 20, 2011 at 8:28 am
it seems airtel jand k has launched mnp i just dial 1900 and i was surprised
pinaki roy January 20, 2011 at 8:06 am
tested reliance 3g two days ago and find no reason to shift from airtel 2g to reliance 3g. 1. speed is not so impressive that i should leave rs..98 for 2GB pack of airtel to rs.100 for 100MB pack of reliance 3g. 2. as reliance customer care said, if you want to recharge 3g data pack you have to go to your nearest reliance outlet. 3. they said mobile tv is free for january but when send sms MTV to 55447 they replied the service is currently not available. please try latter. 4. they have video call facility but none of my contacts have 3g handset and/or 3g connection, so its not useful for me. 5. when a am on the way to my workplace and also inside my office sometimes there is no tower/signal. so i remove the 3g sim and back to airtel 2g.

I am not seeing any offers for porting in (exp mtnl). I am sure all the telcos must have some secret agreement on this.
sooraj January 20, 2011 at 8:03 am
actually airtel is more cheap in certain aspects…..
BSNL will not provide any good offers.No life time validity for student suvidha.You will have to do 280 ruppees validity recharge every year.So i am shifting to airtel.

Sirf MNP PAN INDIA me launch karne se kya hoga ,3g bhi toh time pe launch karna chahiye kyonki india me 3g time pe launch bhi nahi hua hai aur abroad me 4g launch karne ki tyari chal rahi.

Stupid! Their(TATA DOCOMO) Network is worst than Airtel in Tamilnadu and How Can they Port it?
sukanta January 20, 2011 at 2:34 am
poor people will go to BSNL side and rich people will go to Airtel side!
kingston January 20, 2011 at 2:20 am
Tata Docomo surely wins the race . . .. .
Most of the people from tamilnadu unsatisfied with the tariff of AIRCEL. So most of the AIRCEL people moves to TATA DOCOMO.
Dear Unsatisfied AIRCEL people pls move to DOCOMO, DOCOMO is the only operator offering sms without any booster card.

Good Analysis by Telecom Talk. You guys are rocking!!! I guess these results would’ve changed if 3G services were launched by all the telecom operators
tariq January 20, 2011 at 2:02 am
whtevr b…vodafone has the best network pan india…

Really nice analysis prepared from 986 & 880 voters without any delay, Rudradeep you created clear picture to all the operators, to improve your services or loose your subscribers. Really nice work. Hats off.
In mumbai docomo network is poor in most of the suburban areas, even on LBS road its poor, good thing is their EDGE otherwise poor voice clarity, unwanted calls for VAS activation, unwanted new offer sms are their disadvantages. Chat support is new invention is good, no 3G for Mumbai circle but they are going to share with MTNL 3G services for their Mh Goa subscribers very soon.

Airtel will not be the biggest order. Idea and Reliance will be the biggest loosers. BSNL what u said is right Bad Customer service for taking the call they take 30 mins even in the morning that is too bad. also they have to improve the network.
naveen January 20, 2011 at 1:12 am
based on the above poll (can be taken as an indicator/direction) airtel followed by vodafone and reliance would be top 3 losers. and tata docomo followed by bsnl and idea will be top 3 gainers.
wake up call for airtel and vodafone to reduce its tariff, esp roaming charges and provide good gprs offers with good speeds like rcom & docomo. and for rcom to stop frauding its customers through false vas activations and improve its network coverage, esp indoor penetration.
tata docomo is on a double edge sword… customers have high expectation from it and they will feel dejected because of its poor network and may shift after 3 months of porting to it. the same high expectation from bsnl. with bsnl its always been about poor customer care and slow resolution of problem.
hope everyone works on their problems and then true competition will be seen when every one is strong on all aspects. and mnp will be catalyst to it. long live mnp.
sunant January 20, 2011 at 1:12 am
it looks as if docomo is clearly the winner. even me too voted for docomo. it has most transparent rates and services than others. i guess that must be the reason for it.
i biggest loser i guess would not be airtel because people leaving airtel are only those who find it expensive whereas who have high usage and can afford good services will stick to airtel because of its coverage.
for me reliance would be biggest loser who promised affordable tariffs has hiked their rates. so they they are left with neither good tariffs nor good network. so people will soon opt out of it.
Asif January 20, 2011 at 1:09 am
Cool, I would like to stick to Airtel only. No other is best!
