Vodafone the Second largest service provider is ready to launch its 3G services in Karnataka with the Intra Circle Roaming agreement with Idea and Airtel.
As per the sources the services are about to launch in 24-48 hours. Customer can call on 116 to know the tariff details as updated in the IVR.

@Amit.G
Do You Know Why Uninor is Having Excellent Speed? Coz It is Using AMD Opteron Platform Based Server. This Server Gives The Better Data Transmission Speed When Compared To That Of Intel CPUs And It Has Deployed SELinux Based Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Which Will Provides 100% Security To The Server and Also Deployment Of Adaptive Multi Rate -Red Hat Package Management Will Improves The Voice and Data Quality. By Viewing This Idea Cellular in Karnataka has Deployed This Kind Of Servers

I’m Not Saying He’s Removed But He Has To Be Removed Please Read The Comment Carefully
Amit.G August 6, 2011 at 5:24 pm
@Raghu
Here also it is bad but ter main product portfolio is DATA and at present aircel is concentrating on 3G as you can see lot of promotional activites goin on. Here if you port to aircel by 72rs you will be gettin 3GB 3G data for 3 months( 1GB/ month).
Raghu August 6, 2011 at 5:11 pm
@Amit.G
Aircel’s data segment is also bad as far as AP is concerned. very slow speeds I do not know abt ur circles and other circles.
Raghu August 6, 2011 at 5:09 pm
@Arjun Chandrashekar
Mr Yellamati Mallikarjun Rao is still there in Aircel i wrote to him only sometime back and got response. i do not know how u are saying that Mr Mallikarjuna Rao has been removed from Aircel.please do not pass wrong information like this.
Amit.G August 6, 2011 at 4:45 pm
@Arjun Chandrashekar
Its not that nobody is working properly. Telecom company is not small like how u think. It has many departments in it and each department will be awarded certain funds during budgeting and also they will be given certain target. Ex. Sales department must touch xxxxx subscriber figure by this quarter end. Technical team must erect this number of towers by so n so period. Marketin department must reach this particular segment of people and position itself in minds of those target segment. Customer relationship department should avoid churn by this percentage. No company can become top in one night n everybody will be workin. It just takes few years of time to first sort out the drawbacks n then concentrate on buildin quality. Aircel is completely concentrating on youth segment and they have made DATA as tier main offering. And it is workin for them as company is makin 20% of its revenue from data.

@Raghu
Especially Sandip Das Has To Remove CTO Mallikarjun Rao Immidiately. Coz Mallikarjun Rao Delayed The 3G Service Launch and Most Of All, He is an Idiotic Person. If Any One Of The Engineer is Appointed To Aircel From Uninor Definitely They Will Improve The Service
Raghu August 6, 2011 at 3:39 pm
@Arjun Chandrashekar
they have to take action if they are not delivering.they are lagging in service and Marketing. Hope Mr Gurudeep and Mr Sandip Das understand and improve the network urgently.
Arjun Chandrashekar August 6, 2011 at 2:06 pm
@Raghu
I Don’t Know Why Gurudeep Singh and Sandip Das are Taking Strict Action On Aircel Employees Coz They Were Lagging in Service and Marketing Too.
Arjun Chandrashekar August 6, 2011 at 5:27 am
@Raghu
I Think Soon They Will Shut Down Their Services
Raghu August 5, 2011 at 10:12 pm
@Arjun Chandrashekar
no idea abt them.
Arjun Chandrashekar August 5, 2011 at 8:54 pm
@Raghu
What’s Happened To Etisalat and Videocon? There is No Information About Those 2 Idiotic Operators. Only We are Getting About Aircel, AirTel,BSNL, Idea,MTNL,Reliance, TATA DOCOMO, Uninor and Vodafone.

Now again you are Bluffing? ha aha lolz..
Arjun Chandrashekar August 5, 2011 at 4:34 pm
@Raghu
Not At All I Will Accept That AirTel is A Good Operator. It’s a Worst One
Raghu August 5, 2011 at 4:30 pm
@Arjun Chandrashekar
may be after some days u will say that i also bluffed that Airtel has bad network/bad voice clarity/call disconnection .
Baba Firangi August 5, 2011 at 3:52 pm
Thanks for accepting that you were bluffing. Hope, u stick to your verdict this time.
Arjun Chandrashekar August 5, 2011 at 2:43 pm
@Baba Firangi Firangi First Of All I Was Not Satisfied By Aircel Upto 100% When The Time I’m Started To Use. I Was Just Bluffing That Aircel is Best. But this is True That Idea is Best Coz By Viewing Uninor’s Performance Idea Has Drastically Improved. So It’s My Favourite Operator
Baba Firangi August 5, 2011 at 2:32 pm
Till February you were 100% satisfied with Aircel Service, and now you are 99% satisfied with Idea. I am sure, if you go to Ranchi’s famous lunatic hospital, you will be 101% satisfied with their service. Try it.
Arjun Chandrashekar August 5, 2011 at 2:02 pm
@naveen gatke
Naveen I’m Just 25% Satisfied With Aircel Services Whereas Idea Satisfied Me Upto 99%

WHY ARE U ASKING ARJUN TO RECHARGE WITH 14 CARD, DON’T U KNOW THE VALUE OF MONEY, ASK HIM TO RECHARGE WITH RS.5 (1 DAY PACK)
naveen gatke August 5, 2011 at 1:15 pm
@Arjun Chandrashekar
Please Recharge PRC PI 14 Card And Check the Internet Browsing is good Speed…
Arjun Chandrashekar August 5, 2011 at 12:49 pm
@Amit.G
Yes It is Right. Sometimes I Get Better Speed and Sometimes Worst. Aircel CC People are Very Arrogant. They Don’t Know Anything. Everytime I Use To Give The Complaints On Coverage and Service. They Will Not Also Take The Telecom Analysts Solutions. Useless Operator always Bugging Network. Even AirTel is Also Worst. Now Idea is Best One. So I’ll Go With Idea
Amit.G August 5, 2011 at 12:11 pm
@Arjun Chandrashekar
Im using Aircel 47pack for mobile internet but it is really horrible service from aircel. in opera mini itself it takes 1min to load TT site where as tata docomo used to take just 10-15sec to load. i made mistake by recharging aircel this time. i had stopped using it becos of speed n voice breakage prob for 4months but this time i thought it might have improved n recharged it, it is very very worst.
Arjun Chandrashekar August 5, 2011 at 11:06 am
@Amit.G
I’m Using Nokia 2700 Classic, Along With Idea, AirTel and Aircel Connections. But Everytime AirTel Sucks On My Mobile. Call Gets Dropped and Voice Quality is Very Bad and Internet Never gets Loaded. Idea and Aircel Have No Problem to Use. As I’m Using Aircel For Data Purpose It Will Give Me A Better Speed. And Regarding To Idea It is Best One In Speed and In Voice Quality Too.
Amit.G August 5, 2011 at 10:16 am
@Arjun Chandrashekar
I have friends who use airtel in mysore. they bever complained of any network problems. which handset do u use for ur airtel connection?
Arjun Chandrashekar August 5, 2011 at 9:38 am
@Amit.G
Amit I Don’t Know About Other Cities But In Kolar, Tumkur and Mysore AirTel Is Very Worst. Even If I Compare With Idea Network, Idea is Superb Network Like Uninor in Kolar, Tumkur and Mysore. To Some Extent Aircel,BSNL and Vodafone are Better Than AirTel
Amit.G August 5, 2011 at 8:43 am
@Raghu
Here in karnataka Airtel has got very good network. No congestion inspite of high minutes of usage than any other circle for airtel. Airtel here has more than 16000 towers and operates under 900mhz in 2G band.
naveen August 5, 2011 at 7:58 am
dear friends, vodafone launching 3g, using bsnl 3g network in karnataka. N idea using, airtel network. Docomo using aircel network(other cities of own 3g network).
Raghu August 4, 2011 at 11:26 pm
@Tremerin Dsouza
Airtel network is already congested in AP but do not know abt other circles
Raghu August 4, 2011 at 11:25 pm
@Amit.G
yes u are right atleast 2 out of 3 operators should have had 3g services.
Raghu August 4, 2011 at 11:22 pm
@Tremerin Dsouza
Airtel network is already congested as far as AP is concerned but do not know abt other circles.
Tremerin Dsouza August 4, 2011 at 4:05 pm
It will be better to use tata docomo or aircel as airtel’s 3g network will become congested within few years.
Amit.G August 4, 2011 at 3:51 pm
Wow thats good but at the same time its bad for users because here both Idea and Vodafone are using Airtel 3G network. So with just 5mhz of spectrum customers of 3 big operators should access 3G whic will deprive the service quality.
