Videocon Starts Campaigning For ‘Bye Bye 1p/sec’

Videocon Starts Campaigning For Bye Bye 1p/secVideocon Mobile Services, which has rolled out GSM services in 10 circles of the country and geared up to expand to all 22 circles starts an online campaigning saying ‘BYE BYE 1p/sec’.

Videocon introduces a brand new fresh website: www.byebye1p.com to promote their campaigning.

VMobi guys already started promoting the site through the social networking sites like facebook and twitter.

They posted on facebook:

Dear 1p/sec,

It was nice knowing you. We’ll miss you. Well, maybe!

Sincerely,

V-Mobi

We strongly believe Videocon is promoting their STV17 which offers 25p/minute call tariff for all local and STD calls.

    I have been videocon(ned) !!!. Just ported from TataDocomo 10 days back. Activated caller tune unilaterally. Incidentally they themselves chosen a tune explaining their own deed of conning ! CHORI KIYA RE….! And chorified Rs.30/- from balance…

    But if companies are given spectrum then they should be utilizing that so that burden on other network divides and we get good voice clearity and there are also providing jobs to thousands of people so whats the harm in launching of a new company when they already hold licence and spectrum in the area

  • Saurabh February 11, 2011 at 10:15 pm

    But we want best terrif videocon like offer(25p) is not available in our circle and many of my friends and relatives are waiting for it as they have to call STD and is still costly

    @Raghu
    Now its really stupidity if some new telecom company starts its operation in india, even TRAI’S guess went wrong, Till now no new gsm operator has shown profit infact didn even breakeven, only 5% of total active customers are with new players n rest with old. still ARPU of new players is 60rs on an avg with docomo @110 n uninor @40rs. now old players are opting prediatory pricing stratergy which doesn alow new plyrs 2 cme up

    2. can i have 25p/sec scheme of STV17 on these connections??
    3. if i m already having a videocon connection, then can i migrate 2 this scheme??

    When you are launching online recharge facility or Plans activation through sending SMS??
    Because many retailer are not willing to do this Small Rs. 17 special recharge they insist to do minimum of Rs. 50 recharge as they tell that they don’t get commission from company.. So every time we have to visit Plant M shop for doing Rs. 17 recharge…

    Well, they are not able to provide this most essential requirement, i.e. E-recharge ! Sorry state of affairs ! I, too have made so many representations, no avail.

    you can recharge videocon online from this site : http://oxicash.in

    You can also recharge with freecharge which is one of the best option> I have recharged my videocon number and it was instant.

    I doubt the growth of the company.it is the cheapest in terms of rates in mumbai.but the company doesnt ve a single mobile tower in mumbai.all the users of videocon mumbai mobile services gets the signals from loop mobile.infact on mobile screen also it has written as loop mobile network along with videocon mobile services.i doubt whether it ll sustain itself in the long run

    0.25ps/min for all calls is very good tariff.. but what about their network?? Videocon is saying they have launched in 10 circles but out of 10 circles in which circle their own network is present?
    In Mumbai circle they have their own network (IND 836)live from last 3months but latching to BPL Mobile(currently known as LOOP Mobile) so many problems have to be faced!! So please launch your own network properly first…

    Its very good for for STD in dual sim you can use 1 videocon and another which suits you if u travell to another circle than Relience GSM will be best due to its free roaming SMS and same roaming terrif or might be BSNL or AIRTEL for best coverage

    Offcourse, 25p/min local & std is the best plan by Videocon, but MNP shows that people want first of all good network, then tariff.

    Friends share ur views on network coverage comparing docomo and uninor(only new players)
    It is worth to compare network of new players only and compare quality and data speed as well
