Videcon GSM Review: I took a new Videocon Haryana connection yesterday (Before used Videocon internet on my friend’s number). A new SIM costed me Rs.15 and got FRC of Rs.61 for free (Talktime: Rs.45, GPRS- 20MB, All local for 180 days @30p/min, STD @1p/sec). So all in all I paid only Rs.15 at my end and not a single extra penny.
About Network: Network strength in my area is -79dBm which is quite good. Tower located at 2300 metres or 2.3Kms from my home area which is not good when it comes to internet.
Calling: The voice clarity is quite impressive and no cracking in voice while calling even with just 1 signal bar. “Yeh hai signal yaaro signal”. lol I will give 8.75/10 rating.
Internet: As I said before my area is 2.3Kms from location of tower so internet speed is not good at all. When I used 10-500 metres away from the tower I got constantly 30KBps (or 240Kbps) speed. Once started it never move below this point. At a distance, 500-1000 metres the speed reduced to 20-27KBps (160-216Kbps). At my home (2300 meters away) when I connect it receives 100-500KB of data and after that only sends data and not a single bit is received. Data traffic stops and sometimes reconnecting do not work. But it is not the case when I use near tower. I get rocking speed within 500 metres of BTS. Though signal strength is -79dm (when checked on phone with PhoNetInfo app and on PC with MDMA) internet speed is worst due to large distance.
The worst thing of Videocon is they are charging 60p/min for calls to CC while other charge 50p/3min. Videocon charging Rs.1.80 for 3 mins. Customer care is completely illiterate.
I mostly use mobile connections for internet only. My experience with Videocon is not bad at all. The only problem is distance from the tower. When I bought SIM the dealer suggested me to go for Vodafone which I already have. He said no one uses Videocon here and they have not activated a single number in last 8-10 months. No one come to recharge. I think this is the only reason why internet speed is good as there is no congestion because of no usage of network. My friend living near the tower uses it because of this only.

Is any one got videocon coverage from docomo network?
In kerala from docomo(ind-035) signal videocon sim get coverage
pls post ur comment
Anand September 22, 2011 at 4:54 pm
I think that videcon joint there hand with docomo for providing videcon network in kerala. But one problem when i get coverage from docomo network. I cannot get gprs connectivity.but when my sim get coverage from videcon tower itself, it got connected.
Why does this happening, i dont know?
Anand September 22, 2011 at 4:46 pm
In every month videcon lose thousands of their customer. I dont know why this is happening. 2day videcon is d best low tariff provider. I am using videcon has 2nd sim in kerala. In my home town videcon has no tower. But my videcon sim got coverage from docomo tower . And show i am in roaming. I take the sim from kerala. But shows roaming when it got coverage from docomo. But call rate is same as in home network

Never Ever Go For Videocon Neither Their Quality Is Not As Excellent As Uninor, Nor Their Coverage is As Good as AirTel/ Idea/Vodafone/BSNL/Aircel
Mazhar September 14, 2011 at 2:09 am

What about the VIRGIN????
Karthik September 6, 2011 at 5:27 am
i’m using videocon for gprs.Its really good.And they offered 30p to all local and std calls.
I get good gprs speed when in home network(videocon-Ind-840)
network is better than docomo,indoor coverage is well.
I get full coverage in my home too.
Tamilnadu people from urban and semi-urban areas can try videocon
i agree videocon coverage is less in rural areas.
Videocon credited all local calls free upto 30 minutes sometimes!
Vikas September 5, 2011 at 11:34 pm
Here in Indore I have videocon sim but I still wonder there are no more places where you can find recharge vouchers for them. Also I have used GPRS speed is at some locations is superb but somewhere else it sucks really and sometimes even I can’t open the web page. And you are right DOT is going to ruin the dreams of that all new FARZI operators asap.
Rohan Singh September 5, 2011 at 7:26 pm
Lol ..
saurabh gupta September 5, 2011 at 7:22 pm
videocon also revised its plan inspired from airtel vodafone 100 cities 100 years……..
Mahmood Junaid September 5, 2011 at 6:55 pm
no use without range… Coverage and quality is the most important… Cheap tariff only comes then…
sunil September 5, 2011 at 5:59 pm
when is videocon launching in hyderabad. what happened to der 100 days 100 cities plan.
Vikas Patidar September 5, 2011 at 5:54 pm
If you took this Videocon SIM card then you have to find retailers on Google for recharge etc. It’s very hard to find a shop where can we get coupons for them.
akhilesh September 5, 2011 at 5:46 pm
m from main city hardoi up east..
never found videocon gsm signal in my
& i think videocon gsm services avlevel only 2 or 3 city’s of up east
SO no use of it
Rohan Singh September 5, 2011 at 5:37 pm
When I visited up i too inquired about videocon but come to know that very few retailers are actually selling it and most of the retailers haven’t heard about it ..
Rohan Singh September 5, 2011 at 5:33 pm
Soon DOT is going to sack these operators as per toi. Loop, Stel, Videocon, Uninor where they haven’t started their services soon their licenses will be canceled. Videcon said 100 city in 100 days ……have they really covered? ? I was getting loop and videocon signals almost a year ago and now they totally vanished …
Saurabh gupta September 5, 2011 at 5:22 pm
What UP west ??? Only its signals are live here from last one year but its not launched so whats the need of this offer this company is wasting the opportunity and also spectrum…….
Ayush September 5, 2011 at 5:01 pm
When it will launch in Jaipur Rajasthan

Amit.G September 5, 2011 at 1:08 pm
bad operator. Failed miserably in gaining customers and revenue. Will definitely exit from telecom. Videocon cheers loop will for sure exit from indian telecom industry.
