For last few days we are watching the race of tariff hiking by all leading telecom operators (except MTNL) which is, no doubt, unusual practices in last couple of years. But whatever it is, new operators are still not in this queue so far.
Now this honeymoon period over. Uninor, one of the largest newbie also submitted their name in this carnival of tariff hike.
Uninor does not increase the tariff directly, instead Uninor silently increases the MRP of RCV 31 (1000 Mins Local On-Net Pack) in the prepaid segment of Kolkata Circle.
Now the modified MRP of the above STV is Rs.43 instead of Rs.31. I expect that more such disheartening news are on the cards from Uninor.
Details:
| OLD MRP | REVISED MRP | BENEFIT | ANY CHANGES IN BENEFIT |
| Rs.31 | Rs.43 | 1000 Local Minutes Local (On-Net / Uninor to Uninor) | It remains same |

Bad news for uninor subscribers.
Uninor increased the value of 43 stv again.
Now they are charging 53 instead of 43.

I fully agree with you that uninor is enticing us with a pound of loaf for sucking blood later. I have subscribed to uninor mainly due to gprs facilities which earlier was allowed upto 6 GB for 30 days for Rs. 90/-; now they have altered the offer in upto 200 MB a day for thity days which means you can not download a program that exceeds 200 MB at the best a day. This is quite frustrating that the offer has been revised without any notification to the subscribers, and it is really daring to see the offer on net without any alteration that they have made. In fact all these service providers have assumed as if, we, the customers are like beggars who could not have any choice of their own. I would very much fancy like a good level- playing field where the subscribers could have commissioned the providers for the breach of contract!!!!!!!!!

Uninor has done dis prbbly due to 2 main reasons..
i. They wnt to promot heavily d 2 pasia pack.So dey wnt to shift d focus frm free mins pack to 2 paisa pack,as dis is much more profitabl for dem & at d same tym cust convincing. Uninor is spending d most in promotng dis pack which is STV22 here in Kolkata across d country (jst nxt d amt dey incurred during their launch).
ii. Secondly dey alrdy strtd charging Peak hours during 6pm-10pm on all free mins vouchers during which balanc are being deducted frm main balanc.But dis pack comes free of peak hour charges.

Anirban Mukherjee August 5, 2011 at 10:59 am
As per my knowledge Uninor offered 60000 Secs Local on-net @Rs.38.
sAm August 4, 2011 at 11:41 pm
sorry 2 say,dis articl is not entirely ri8.
uninor doesnot provide 1000mins on stv31, it provides d same on stv 32 in kolkata circle.
Uninor provides 60000secs on stv31.Hope TT will correct it.

Best EDGE speed in kolkata market after vodafone. Consistent speed between 160-200kbps.

@gaurav
No Doubt, They Need To Hike, Coz Most Of The Operators Including BSNL are Having Poor Coverage in Rest Of India and They Have To Improve The Coverage.
gaurav August 4, 2011 at 2:52 pm
Uninor also hikes it rates in bihar
Before STV 38 U to U 1,20000 sec
Now STV 38 U to U 1,20000 sec (11pm to 5pm)
5 to 11 pm 1/2 U to U
I am sure uninor 100% hikes it plans in upcoming months. Good day,s now over for uninor users.

@Amit.G
Ya It’s Not Bad. But They Need To Hike The Tariff In Order To Improve Their Network Coverage
amar August 4, 2011 at 12:23 pm
STV 43—60000 sec
STV 42—1000 min
STV 31—30000 sec
All above STV comes with 30 days validity.
STV 98—same offer as earlier but validity is 15 days
Amit.G August 4, 2011 at 11:48 am
Not that bad, it is managable. good for uninor
