    If they don’t reduce at least the Daily rental to Rs1/day, then the present situation not favourable for them…

    they surely focus youth as we can also see in their posters and banners teens are making ad
    no dog and no oldess (budhiya heroine) here
    so no need to cricket stars no need to film stars no need for animals just connect directly with teenagers and Telendor knows that how can they do it well
    all the best uninor go ahead for a big victory and long history

    No one knows the future plan of Uninor,
    they are not idiots but still they launch plans which are not attractives
    something in their mind surely which they disclose sooner

    G prasad :
    Telenor will be setting up lot of towers in varanasi and some will be near your house and hopefully it should increase the network connection.
    I encourage you to hold on to your telenor number. Also if possible try getting your friends and family to buy even more telenor numbers. Telenor is the best telephone company in world. I like them.

    Give some attractive offers at least like IDEA make all calls at 40 Ps per minute, Give simple plans, Make All national and local SMS at one paisa per SMS without any rent
