It seems that Vodafone has learnt to walk against stream. After burning their hands by providing WAP pack instead of true GPRS pack now they have started providing Untrue 3G Video Calling service.
In various telecom circles , Vodafone 3G services can only be enjoyed when you are subscribed to any of their 3G data packs even if you don’t need 3G data. While MTNL/BSNL and Reliance providing Video Call services by default and other private operators like Airtel, Aircel, Tata Docomo, Idea Cellular allow Video Calls with ‘Pay As You Go 3G plan‘.
The worst part is if you are in need to receive video call from someone staying far away from you, there is No Incoming video call facility those have No 3G data pack recharged on Vodafone.
However few years back, In the initial age of 3G services in India, both the PSU MTNL and BSNL didn’t allow 3G Video Calling without Any activation of 3G Data /Voice plan but they removed all barriers to popularize the 3G Video Calling in India (Remember BSNL 3G Ad ?) and now a days the 3G scenario is completely changed and almost all operator providing 3G Video Calls without any 3G data packs Except Vodafone !
In the primary stage of 3G Era, Data-packs are really very costly in all private 3G operators for a big portion of consumers. While 3G video call is comparatively pocket-friendly in PSU MTNL and BSNL for 1p/sec or 30p to 70p/min and bit premium rates in all private 3G operators which costs Rs.3/Min or 5p/Sec is genuinely making people interested towards 3G.
During the time of competition among private operators this type of in-discrimination is really creating a barrier between people and 3G. Vodafone 3G data packs starts from Rs.103 (for 100MB data) and to make/receive video-call one must have to recharge with it or higher.
Lets have a look on this issue:
| Operators | Notes |
| Aircel /Airtel / Idea Cellular | After activation of 3G you can enjoy 3G services incl. data and video calls. But if you like to use 2G data packs, you have to deactivate 3G. |
| Reliance GSM | 3G come to everyone by default i.e. 3G data services and video calling is activated automatically. But if 2G data pack is recharged, speed will be capped till the validity period of 2G data pack. |
| BSNL / MTNL | BSNL /MTNL are offering video calls to 2G/3G users by Default with lowest tariff compare to all private operators. While to enjoy 3G data you need to activate 3G. |
| Vodafone | For video calls (outgoing/incoming) you need to activate any 3G Data Pack with minimum recharge of Rs 100 per month which comes with 100 MB 3G data.
Following the recharge you can access Vodafone HSPA network to make video calls. |
In brief 2nd largest operator in India Vodafone messed up the 3G thing. What do you think about Vodafone 3G?
deepanshu June 15, 2012 at 7:32 pm
this is worst.
I am postpaid user.
I am shifting to airtel now. This is worst option.
Devakrit May 10, 2012 at 5:55 pm
Many operators operate on 3g network even if you pay for 2g; customer care says that if the network is good enough, 3g will work but bandwidth wont be given priority.
Is this true for Vodafone also?

Vodafone is completely absurd. Firstly I don’t understand why I need to get a 3G pack to make video calls or use web thru 3G. I should be able to do both without any extra recharge at default rates. Secondly there is no way to do the 3G recharge online. I do not want to run to shops for recharging my mobile.
Dont go for Vodafone if you are not already there and if you are already with Vodafone get out as soon as possible!!

TI4 July 28, 2011 at 1:22 pm
Dear Vodafone, please explain why do i need data plan for making video calls. Video calls need 3G service and for activation of 3G service, data plan is must. Dont you think this is unfair to force customers to pay for another service to get access to first service. Are you getting that down to generate revenues.
TI4 July 26, 2011 at 2:36 pm
Please tell me why in Vodafone, data plans are required to make video calls. I only want 3G service to make video calls.
Pratik Ghogre May 16, 2011 at 5:26 pm
Friends just leave vodafone and catch to MTNL/BSNL thats best , half paise per 2 sec video call and same for local call national the same rate.

Last year I bought a vodaphone no. they activated VAS 3 times without my consent costing me Rs 90 and when I asked custmer care they told me that they will call back me and then stopped picking up my phone. I dumped the SIM and will never use any vodaphone no. even if they pay me to use it. F*ckist brand, never go for it. BSNL best hai mere liye, now will give a try to aircel as it has launched 3G in my village.

@SAHIL
Sahil, yes that is absolutely right. I think, corporate plans makes more money as their monthly rental is not less than rs.275/- at least. So just imagine even if a group of 30-50 people takes corporate plan from a single company, how good it will be for Vodafone.
One of my friend working in IT company said me that he will be switching from Idea to Vodafone because Vodafone has offered a good corporate plan in the same rates as Idea and that too with some free 3G data usage.
I believe in BSNL best hai mere liye and i also have a working number of BSNL.
Everyone here is to make money. Operators like Airtel, Idea, Vodafone make money because of good network and Docomo, Aircel, Uninior because of tariffs.
Now the decision is left with us, and we can choose anyone as per our need.
I am not taking side of any mobile company but just sharing my views with you guys.
SAHIL April 26, 2011 at 6:32 pm
If vodafone can give good scemes to corporates then why discriminate with aam aadmi or geberal public. corp plans and retail plans can slightly differ… nothing wrong with that… but earth and sky difference is not acceptable. just because vodafone has good network doesn’t give them license to loot and cheat people and be discriminatory!
With power comes responsibilities! I don’t see any difference between our corrupt politicians and vodafone… both out to loot and rape indian people!
Abhijit S April 26, 2011 at 6:20 pm
I am using Idea in nashik, maharashtra and can make/receive video calls without recharging a 3G data pack.
I think some people here just come for doing time pass and share false information. First you should confirm it and then only post.
About Vodafone, what makes vodafone strong is their network, and postpaid corporate plans. That is why in most of the companies, vodafone corporate plans are preferred than any other operator plans as they are best from all most of the time.

TREMERIN DSOUZA April 26, 2011 at 12:13 pm
yes UPEN you are right but the foremost factor is the belief the common people have in VODAFONE they have reputation of no(probably less) unfair balance deduction and have attracted not only corporates,businessmen,high ranking executives but also “AAM AADMI” for their good customer care,these two advantages are the not enjoyed by other biggies like AIRTEL,IDEA.
Raghu April 26, 2011 at 1:14 am
@Raj
i think Airtel is the best do not go to Reliance. Reliance is bad in network and also they falsely activate VAS. I also switched from Airtel to Voda due to bad network in my home, but i didnt find any problem, i only use Voda for calls/sms only and nothing else. so i think thats why it is good.
pug fan April 26, 2011 at 12:59 am
People complain-still WONT change or port from Voda. Meaning Vodafone give many other benefits, which none other can give.None will change from Vodafone.
If u want good 3g pay for it. bsnl social service temporary only.

That rubbish!
Vodafone, not a good offer.
They should try to make 3G more affordable to all people.
But what Vodafone is doing is making it expensive.
I don’t think that’s a good deal.
People should try to avoid using Vodafone 3G this will make them reconsider as they will be losing customers.
No customers->No 3G-> NO profit to Vodafone.

Sorry for the mistake.
upen April 25, 2011 at 4:26 pm
@Tremerin Dsouza
Per month subscribers addition is not a real indicator of genuine customers for any companies. Here are few reasons for selling sim card free of cost with bundled offers-
1. Companies get adiitional spectrum (which is most scarce resourses for them) after reaching at certain subscriber base as mentioned by trai.
2. Dealers try to meet their target imposed by operators in order to recieve high cut-off and margins in terms of revenue.
3. High subscribers addition growth rate shows sound marketing position with better brand image and goodwill in an economy which force them to sell simcards at much cheaper rates with bundled offers.
Somehow COAI has ever supported Big players (Airtel, Vodafone & Idea)and dicriminated with some operators which are known to many of us due to which people rejected its “ACTIVE SUBSCRIBERS NUMBER” survey and trated it as biased.
Jayakrishnan April 25, 2011 at 2:15 pm
I was a BSNL (Mobile) customer some time back. It was very difficult to catch me up. Fed up and I tried to go for MNP. But could not due to circle change. Finally I got a Vodafone number. Now, no tension. No problem of connectivity. Now I know why Vodafone’s customer base increasing every month. Let this “swadeshi” improve their quality. When some one is paying, they obviously expect good service.
Mane April 25, 2011 at 2:04 pm
Go for reliance 3g via mnp where voda and rcom both have spectrum and get 5 gb 3g data + 50 video minute+ one month tv free with frc 302.
Raj April 25, 2011 at 1:46 pm
@karann
I have used it in Gurgaon, just to test, works fine, coverage is fine too, the only thing is that speed is pretty low, hardly reaches 2MBPS on Desire HD, that is capable of 14.4MBPS. It’s speed is comparable to MTNL 3G, though the cost more than 3-4times. I would anyday prefer MTNL for use in my data card atleast. 21MBPS, what a joke….. Vodafone is most stupid network provider…. soon people will realize.
I switched to Voda once MNP came from Airtel. Only to realize what a terrible mistake I had made, had to buy new Airtel no. again. Now waiting for 90days to get over so that I can switch to Airtel or may be Relaince. Screw Vodafone.
Raj April 25, 2011 at 1:40 pm
Airtel Delhi lets you recharge with 2G data pack while 3G is activated, the speed is capped to 8kBps (64kbps) as in Reliance’s case, so please rectify it in your post.
himanshu ojha April 25, 2011 at 1:36 pm
vodafone is generating revenue only due to its 2g voice customer as v 2 v calls are quite cheaper with STV’S I dnt undrstand why people go with VODAFONE.
And its a purely foreign company which is parasite to indian economy.

Actually, Vodafone is not to be blamed. Its foolish Indians who opt for this British companies services should be blamed. Vodafone thinks that since some foolish idiots are buying its services despite all golmal, lets’s continue doing it! Only when people stop using Vodafone’s service it will change itself. Till then it will f*** and r*pe indian customers.
Tejash Doshi April 24, 2011 at 9:59 pm
Telecom Talk Please Also Highlight the Fact that VODAFONE doesn’t have any Software Installed for Postpaid users to check the Data Usage. Postpaid using any 3G or 2G data Pack or VMC cannot check the amount of data they have used until the end of the month when they get there Monthly Bill. I am a Vodafone VMC user and I am in no position to check my daily date usage.How can TRAI allow all this?
3G Video Call Service should be made mandatory without any data Packes by TRAI!!!!

They always try make Indian consumers fool, but we are not I personally dont like Vodafone, there is nothing apart from name they can offer speed of GPRS is worst be it wap or true gprs, Now that they have come with 3G and Every one knows ,even on their FAQs on Vodafone website it is clearly mentioned VIDEO CALLS dont use data channel but use Voice Channels I dont understand why is it necessary to subscribe for 3G data pack? Airtel , Idea, BSNL ,Docomo all offer 2G data plans even if you have 3G active on the sim,
I dont know why vodafone is always acting extremely foolish they will do it in future when customer abuses them.

Today I recharged with 109 pack in delhi n got 100mb 3G usage, bt if I select 3G signal of voda, it says no data access, but 1 month before I used it. What d hell, I am in south delhi where it has officially announced its launch few weeks back.

What else can u expect from such a company its very costly i will not say about other circles but in UP west its very costly (specially for calls) and now 3G is also in the same line what about vodafone supporters for its quality or premium service supporters……..

I don’t know, why people use Vodafone and then abuse? A lot of Vodafone postpaid users are dolt. They don’t know about market rate and service of other networks.

This plan is like, “if you want to eat fruit, you must buy its tree, otherwise you cannot eat the fruit…”totally LOW LEVEL THINKING by vodafone…
ashokumar April 24, 2011 at 4:26 pm
hai TT, there is no need to activate 3g data in bsnl. that is also provided by default to all subscribers.if we want to use gprs in 3g enabled areas then we need to opt for 2g packs.pay as you go data rates for both 2g & 3g is 2 paise per 10 KB.

Vodafone always sucks! whether their Prepaid plans, Postpaid plans or their weird CUG plans
Vodafone is even worst than Airtel

Vodafone is competitive in all 3G plans …3G spectrum is damn expensive and hence plans will have to be expensive…i am sure they will allow 3G video calls as well soon without any plan as it doesnt make any sense for them as well..they are losing revenue from ppl who would have made a video call

yes, vodafone discriminate its customers. There sole motive is to earn more and more from Indian market. First they offered free trial offers as “SUPER ZOZO WEEK” and now making their customers fool.
Guys, it depends upon us that do we want to make ourself fool !
Pratik April 24, 2011 at 3:10 pm
ya even airtel facebook site faq mentions that you can enjoy 2g packs with capped speed on 3g network ;however this article was a much needed one to create awareness about vodafone’s unusual idiotic ways first we in kolkata suffered because of the irrational gprs pack of 98rs 80 MB which was if compared now more than the price of any 3g data pack of any operator and that too was only for vodafone live not mobile connect and now 4 this stupid video call thing ; why dont they understand that just for getting good network HOW MUCH can any one bear ???

Remember vodafone is still fighting a case against revenue department of india and not willing to pay tax to indian govt. in respect to their deal with Hutchisson essar as it has purchased the whole stake of Hutchisson. It wants to earn more and more from India but not willing to pay tax to Indian govt for their previous deal.

What a useless offer it is? better to move BSNL true Indian network.
1) Cheap video calling
2) cheap data plan
3) better 3g network of pan India basis
Only one think is worst marketing strategy.
Avishek April 24, 2011 at 2:53 pm
3rd class offer from vodafone….no body can use their 3G service…in gsm 3G segment BSNL is best for all…..
dev April 24, 2011 at 2:52 pm
that is not all i will also like to share another discrimination story of vodafone.
in kolkata voda postpaid dnt hv any national sms pack below Rs.125 per month.
in prepaid they r offering 500 l/n sms for rs 51 & unlimited l/n sms for rs.80.
in post paid they dnt hv any ture gprs pack(vmc) below rs.199 per month thats nt all, there is no free uses,after activating this pack they will charge 5p/10kb for uses……….
in prepaid they r offering rs.98 vmc pack with 2gb free uses.
can any body justify this kind of cruel discrimination within a same circle,what vodafone think postpaid customers dosent knw any thing abt prepaid offerings?????
sumit April 24, 2011 at 2:52 pm
Yes, this is the sign of real MNC. Kaha gaye wo sab log jo bada vodafone.. vodafone karte rhte hain. This is the only operator who offers different plans in different states. Where it has gud coverage and good subscribers base (ex- delhi, mumbai, gujarat, maharastra, etc) offers costlier tariffs and where it is competing with new entrants (ex- bihar, w.bangal, etc) offers cheap tariffs to attract customers.
This is the only service provider which discriminate with indian people. Bhai Angrej chale gaye but divide and rule policy chhod gaye (which is being executed by the British company VODAFONE to rule over indians and drew more and nore money as possible to take away from this country).
Sam From Kashmir April 24, 2011 at 2:47 pm
Thats why vodafone did’t got the lacance in J&K….. vodafone yahi karta hai ki phale 140 mai UL V to V free….. now 399 UL …… go to hell vodafone…….Reliance/BSNL is best in J&K waiting for BSNL 3G…….
..JacK.. April 24, 2011 at 2:46 pm
I don’t believe it…what it this? This is worst move made by any operator so far in 3G service…this is really unfair…under lights of the fame of 2nd largest operator they forget their aim…currently bsnl/mtnl are best for 3G in India…
Ganesh Y April 24, 2011 at 2:33 pm
People should boycott using Vodafone and teach lesson to them
Kerala April 24, 2011 at 2:30 pm
Bsnl provide rs 103recharge with 250 mb for 30 days

Happy EASTER to all TELECOMTALK family.
Parth April 24, 2011 at 2:16 pm
Worst part is they have started looting with unfair schemes..
Do you know VF gujarat customers can have only 299 for 5gb as the starting pack !
and hey where is the 3g in Guj ? only 3 big cities… its a shame…
Don’t you think all have same rates for 3g data and calls ? isn’t is monopoly with their unity ?
Steve April 24, 2011 at 2:15 pm
In brief 2nd largest operator in India Vodafone has gone out of their head.this is the very old tricks of vodafone..so so sad for vodafone customers..thank god iam not with vodapaw opps sorry vodafone..what this private operators feel i dont know they feel they got this 3G spectrum now they can do wat they want…
Tremerin Dsouza April 24, 2011 at 2:15 pm
They are recovering the zoozoo advertise money from our pockets these zoozoo and superweek ads were just to fool us.
Tushar Gaikwad April 24, 2011 at 2:13 pm
Vodafone believe they have higher ARPU customers and hence aims to ‘force’ people to recharge with packs to enjoy their most coveted 3G service…
I am happy with my BSNL 3G….true freedom and transparency
krishna April 24, 2011 at 2:12 pm
BSNL is BEST so Switch to BSNL and enjoy 3G at low cost
Vicky April 24, 2011 at 2:11 pm
True
airtel is better choice it allows to use any 2g data pack in umts mode but speed is capped
its always easy to use
This is the thing i love airtel always ease of use
while aircel deactivates 2g data packs when we activate 3g
Vicky April 24, 2011 at 2:09 pm
Only 3G ad is there
No 3G signal in my area where all other three companies airtel aircel and cellone providing 3G network
They wil learn to provide good 3g service after 2 or 3 years i think while all others wil start LTE Services
I love zoo zoo
but not the network
Smarter to be a costlier
Manivas April 24, 2011 at 2:03 pm
why cant private operators provide tarrifs as BSNL/MTNL ?
epynic April 24, 2011 at 2:00 pm
But if you like to use
2G data packs, you have to
deactivate 3G
Tats not the case wit airtel just sped capped
