Uninor, one of the latest entrant in the Indian Telecom space has added a huge 2.2 million new subscribers in August, taking its total user base to nearly 9.1 million.
This is the highest net add in a month since the Uninor launched GSM services in last December. The August numbers place us as the third highest GSM operator pan-India in terms of net-adds.
Uninor operates only in 13 out of 22 telecom circles nationwide recently introduced the concept of “Dynamic Pricing” which offers up to 60 per cent discount on calls, company claims that it offer the best value for money proposition in the Indian GSM market.
The operator is eyeing a 8 per cent market share of the GSM mobile segment, which has over 481 million subscribers.Presently Uninor has managed to capture 1.89 per cent market share in the first nine months of its operations.
Unior has pan-India licence but is offering services in 13 circles as of now and in process to roll out services in other states also. However Uninor is yet to get spectrum for the Delhi-NCR circle.

i think uninor deserved this reward. They have been a good mobile operator. Now as the market gets tough i think we can expect more good offers.
harman September 17, 2010 at 10:56 am

Sirf Low prices hi customers ko attract nahi karti… Quality & services bhi honi chahiye na.. & Uninor ko Airtel jaisi services dene me kam se kam 15 years aur chahiye…
And more important 2.2 millions are not actual customers. More than 60 % customers took uninor as a cash card. They will through it after using talk time

SIM card scam to be probed by CID
Mysore, August 18, DHNS:
DG and IGP Dr Ajaikumar Singh on Wednesday categorically stated that the department would initiate action against those who indulge in Sim card scam.
Addressing a news conference here, he said some of the cases unearthed in Mysore have been referred to the CID and the matter is being probed thoroughly.
A meeting of all leading service providers was conducted in Bangalore and briefed them about the Sim card scam reported from major cities of the State.
It was also duty of dealers to issue Sim card to customers only collecting proper documents or otherwise action would be initiated against them.
Henceforth, both service providers and dealers should be careful while issuing the Sim cards. They have been advised to hold meetings in all districts to create awareness among masses.
Asked about movement of naxalites of neighbouring Andhra Pradesh taking in forests of Karnataka, the DGP said there has been movement of naxalites because of which the cops are on high alert. Fortunately, the police have curbed naxalism to a great extent in some districts. Although, the situation is not alarming but they have to be on their toes.

One of my friend owns a Uninor Dealership in Mysore….,to achieve sales target quota for a given period all the retails under his regional area prematurely activates thousands of sim cards in the name of customers who submit the CAF(customer application form) promptly while subscribing GSM services(remember new gsm users getting sms alert to resubmit CAF- that is the CAF this users submitted at purchase point doesnt reach Mobile company….,in fact it is misused to sell and activate sims at free of cost.Now Police has busted SIM CARD SCAM in MYSORE and has detained several distributors,dealers and retailers of idea cellular,vodafone,airtel,uninor,reliance gsm. THIS INCIDENT WAS ECHOED IN NATIONAL SECURITY MEETING IN NEW DELHI AS SERIOUS SECURITY LAPSE IN TELECOM INDUSTRY)…..and makes them vulnerable to security related problems. In real sense Uninor in Karnataka has 4,77,627(four lakh seventy seven thousand ACTIVE Prepaid USERS as of August 2010).SO ALWAYS TELECOM COMPANIES SHOWCASE DUMMY FACTS AND FIGURES TO PUBLIC AND IT IS DONE TO ENHANCE THEIR SHARE MARKET VALUE IN BSE AND NSE.

@Amit.g
Uninor is quite good in Customer response and in solving the problem soon. but Airtel customer care service has become so bad. i think Airtel will definitely realize that after loosing the customers and after MNP i am sure about it
Amit.g September 17, 2010 at 12:04 am
@Kaushik Roy
Ya ur rite, Uninor should keep on giving innovative & unique tariffs to its customers. Now as we can see a heavy dip in Airtel’s additions & also bad customer care response in AIrtel. many ppl are dissatisfied with Airtel. SO IT IS NOT ONLY TARIFF BUT ALSO THE CUSTOMER CARE SERVICE THAT MAKES AN OPERATOR AHEAD OF OTHERS & IN THIS CASE UNINOR IS FAR BETTER THAN OPERATORS LIKE IDEA & AIRTEL.
Raghu September 16, 2010 at 11:49 pm
@Kaushik Roy
definitely the biggies will pour in more offers like reliance etc but they have to sustain that and offer counter offers.
Raghu September 16, 2010 at 11:48 pm
@Amit.g
yes u are right. they respond to customers well and good in network. Second will be Videocon i can say in terms of giving offers but i dont know abt the coverage becoz it is not commercially launched in AP circle
AWARA September 16, 2010 at 11:02 pm
@Kaushik Roy
Uninor Will Be The DON Of The Telecom Industry by Beating Airtel
Kaushik Roy September 16, 2010 at 10:42 pm

@Hitesh
I THINK UNINOR WILL NOT SELL IT’S STAKE TO AIRTEL BECAUSE AIRTEL HAS FALLEN DOWN IN THE CIRCLES WHERE IT HAS GOT POPULARITY AND SOON I.E. IN 2020 SUNIL BHARTI MITTAL WILL LAY AN FISHMARKET IN DELHI
Hitesh September 16, 2010 at 10:23 pm
haan jarur.. jab airtel isse khari legi

well done uninor for best wish you hai
Vineet September 16, 2010 at 9:09 pm
Well done uninor.
Amit.g September 16, 2010 at 8:52 pm
Uninor is the best gsm service provider interms of quality n service. even tey respond to customers very well.
tejas September 16, 2010 at 8:24 pm
Good going Uninor…leaping ahead of other newcomers on the road to success. I m really pleased by its network n services inspite of it being a new entrant. Basically I feel that companies like these who’s core business is telecom will definately offer better services as they have the advantage of experience and handling technology. Also they are more focused as telecom is their main business. This is the reason why Hutch n Vodafone did so well in India. Best wishes for Uninor..!!
Awara September 16, 2010 at 8:16 pm
I think Uninor Will Be The First Gsm Operator in The Next Decade
