So looks like a tariff hike is on the cards for all the operators in coming days.
If you remember back in January Uninor introduced its Roam free Offer for Mumbai Customers traveling to Gujarat which was widely appreciated by Uninor customers.
Today a Uninor Customer Mr.Sandeep who hails from Mumbai received an SMS from Uninor (52222) stating “Dear Customer : Our Promotional offer on Mumbai Roaming incoming Free is being withdrawn with immediate effect.
Although there is no official update from Uninior regarding why the offer was pulled back but for now we can say there is no more FREE Roaming for Uninor Mumbai subscriber who visit Gujarat.
So what do you think what made Uninor to pull back its offer let us know via comments ?

UNINOR IS ONE OF THE FASTEST RISING TELE OPERATOR. Its STV 26 FOR LOC N STD DISCOUNT IS BEST. Uninor can rise more if it advertises on t.v.

uninor must advertise via website, media, Facebook fan page, they must first announce the release
i think uninor is pulled back due to no 3g service and late customer care talk ,the main thing is not launching 3g service in India.
uninor must launch video calling service in India

Being a new provider, i think they lost on major revenue from roaming charges which made them pull back this offer

actually the circles should be removed or india as one circle or like south circle, north circle like that

Ideally there should be no concept of roaming on the same network. Established telecom companies have formed a cartel and sadly TRAI / DOT is a mute corrupt spectator as always.
Abhijit July 23, 2011 at 7:34 pm
so now remaining hopes also goes faint that MTNL Mumbai will soon introduce 1ps/sec roaming scheme like MTNL Delhi!!

Is TRAI standing for CUSTOMER or for CORPORATES???
When a NETWORK does something ‘FOR’ the customer, TRAI asks to withdraw it.
While,
When a NETWORK does something ‘AGAINST’ the customer, TRAI keeps ‘mum’.
Till date we thought that only DoT is corrupt, but now we understand that TRAI is also corrupt.
sid July 23, 2011 at 6:57 pm
roaming should be free all over india . trai should work on that !!!!!!!!!!!!! reliance & AIRTEL WILL NEVER WANTS THIS TO BE ENABLE BY TRAI !
som July 23, 2011 at 6:14 pm

uninor is worst in customer care, their dumb cc exc. wasnt able to solve my problem of pocket data authorisation failed even after 15 days,
very very very poor n/w coverage & customer care support.

@Abhijeet
Docomo will also increase the tariff i am sure about it
Amit.G July 23, 2011 at 2:00 pm
Is this because TRAI has directed it to withdraw?? B’cos BSNL was directed by TRAI to withdraw its Romaing plans..
Suma July 23, 2011 at 2:00 pm
Free ka din khatam.. Sab network ki Kahani avi baki hai.. ..to be continued…
PD July 23, 2011 at 1:57 pm
Its now ‘withdrawal syndrome’ in telecom field….!
Anish July 23, 2011 at 1:54 pm
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ……….Why not Docomo ??????
janardhanan July 23, 2011 at 1:51 pm
May be based on any TRAI order just like BSNL withdrew its Roam-Free packs few days back on a TRAI order.
Abhijeet July 23, 2011 at 1:44 pm
This was imminent.
I predict that every other operator will increase the tariff in one way or other.. Except tata docomo
Ankur Mhatre July 23, 2011 at 1:41 pm
May be company is loosing money by this offer.

One of the major reveneue streams for any operator in Mumbai is roaming revenue, because most of the ppl from gujrat & neighbouring cities do travel on the daily basis. When Uninor came up with such an offer, this might have triggered the users to use uninor when in mumbai, and there previous sim otherwise (multi-sim regime). Bad statergy in long term, while short-sightedness to create a buzz..they have to withdraw it anyways.. With a 36% VLR that uninor is operating in mumbai, this was bound to happen as it is a major revenue dent..
