airtel and vodafone are chors. they loot customers with many fine prints – first call full rates, several confusing bonus packs and validity packs etc. chor salay.
if they are confident about their quality, network and customer service, why don’t they directly charge a premium from customers, instead of charging extra and cheating under disguise.
have you seen any premium brand in the world in any industry or category behave and charge like how airtel and vodafone do? shit on airtel and vodafone!
today’s news report also talks about delay in MNP. it is but obvious that who may behind this delay… the incumbents ofcourse! this shows their insecurity and incapability to take on competition head on.
all their talk of quality, customer service, network is all bull shit. they are a scared lot because after MNP the whole world will know their true place and aaukad!
The new plan is kinda gud….its really nice dat vodafone intrdcs sch a plan…bt it wld b gud if it makes 1paise 2 any where in india…
vodafone has simplified its pay per second plan in kolkata..now there is no daily decrement..v-v @ 1p/sec and V-others @ 1.2p/sec. for 1year with Rs 63 bonus card.
voda prepaid is not that good.
they offer local voda calls-40 ps/min, 50 ps/m to all local/std. however inspite of charging 51 rs for a year validity, all first 3 calls in a day viz. v2v local, other local n std r charged at standard rates. if first min of 3 calls is at standard rates, then y they charge 51 rs for bonus card? effectively they charge 60+50+100= rs. 2.10 daily rental.
I am fed up with BSNL. I do not get connection from my bed in my room at Behala, Kolkata – 700034 and am to run to balcony or roof top as soon it rings or when I am to make a call. Even if I get connection at my balcony or roof-top, it gets disconnected within no time, requiring multiple calls to be made to complete a small purpose. In BSNL customer care is practically non existent. My complain in this connection is pending for more than a year by now. I am therefore compelled to look for other service providers. Many of my friends and associates are with Vodafone and appear to be happy. Thus I am also thinking to shift to Vodafone with Tariff of 1p/sec. However, their 1.2 p/sec tariff appear to be complicated. May be they should also make it a flat rate of 1p/min for all circles.
