any way I am happy that STD rates are falling down
ARJUN.C what you thing about STD booths and coin boxes
ARJUN.C August 23, 2010 at 4:17 pm
@Amit.g I Would like to Share The Secret Of Aircel, Before Aircel Was Becoming a Part Of Maxis Group. It Was Started By Shivashankaran (Now MD Of Stel) He Sold Aircel To Maxis Group and Apollo Hospitals Group in
2004

Hmmm, Rs40 for this 40p pack in NEW circle… Guess what will be the STV cost, if Vodafone wants (THEY WON’T WANT REALLY) to launch in old circles???
rajiev August 23, 2010 at 3:44 pm
rs. 40.00 mein 4o paise per min, what a nosense
ARJUN.C August 23, 2010 at 3:10 pm
@Amit.g
Of Course You Are Right but in Future AirTel May lose Because Not Upgrading their Networks. My mother Switched To BSNL Mobile from AirTel Yesterday because She felt the Worst Experience of AirTel network. Because Of Crystal Clear Network Coverage BSNL Mobile is Adding More Subscribers Than AirTel in these Days and Also The People of BSNL Mobile are well Qualified and Trained
Amit.g August 23, 2010 at 2:37 pm
ONLY GAINING CUSTOMERS IS NOT IMPORTANT ARJUN, A COMPANY SHOULD HAVE HEALTHY REVENUE OR ELSE ONE DAY IT WILL SELL ITS STAKE TO SOMEOTHER CONPANY AND VANISHES. JUST LIKE SPICE TELECOM WHICH WAS 2nd BIGGEST OPERATOR IN PUNJAB
Amit.g August 23, 2010 at 2:33 pm
@ARJUN.C
y r u so much worried abt airtel idea and vodafone? for each and everything u ll say aircel n docomo ll gain customers frm airtel idea n vodafone. do u think these companies are dumb to loose ter customers? they will find some or t other way to gain n retain customers. for ur info airtel management is the best among all telecom companies so ur dream of airtel loosing all its customers ll remain as dream itself. DOCOMO N AIRCEL ARE HAVING LOW REVENUE WHICH IS NOT GOOD
ARJUN.C August 23, 2010 at 2:09 pm
@Amit.g
That Means DOCOMO Acquires 3/4 Of AirTel Customers and Aircel Acquires 3/4 of Idea Cellular Customers
Madhumita Sen August 23, 2010 at 2:04 pm
Der aaye, durust aaye !
Amit.g August 23, 2010 at 11:54 am
@ARJUN.C
well u can expect 75% from aircel and 80% from docomo
Raghu August 23, 2010 at 11:06 am
@Webly Gomes
definitely we have to wait for MNP to see good offers for customers
Madhumita Sen August 23, 2010 at 10:57 am
@Webly Gomes
!
Consumers / Subscribers will have a whale of a time
ARJUN.C August 23, 2010 at 10:44 am
@Amit.g
What %age of Coverage Would You Expect From DOCOMO?
Webly Gomes August 23, 2010 at 10:28 am
I liked you comment
Very True….
Let’s wait for MNP !
ARJUN.C August 23, 2010 at 10:05 am
@Amit.g
HOW MUCH %AGE OF NETWORK COVERAGE YOU EXPECT FROM AIRCEL AND DOCOMO?
vinay August 23, 2010 at 9:04 am
its not simply low charge. it comes with rate cutter voucher of rs. 40
Amit.g August 23, 2010 at 7:25 am
@ARJUN.C
u better place one complaint regarding network coverage prob,for effective response ask some of ur friends to place a same complaint bcos tey ll look over it only if many ppl facing prob in tat area.
ARJUN.C August 23, 2010 at 7:15 am
Yes That’s True, AirTel Boasts Their Network is Best But if Tata Docomo is Geared Up it’s Network Expansion Upto 89% in any one of the Telecommunication Circle (Especially Karnataka) Then AirTel Company Will Understand. When the Time They were understand it will be too late.
ARJUN.C August 23, 2010 at 6:23 am
@Fahad
Network Coverage
Arif August 22, 2010 at 11:31 pm
Without MNP this is the situation than what will happen when MNP will introduce.
Local will be 10p/min and all India 20p/min.
Raghu August 22, 2010 at 11:15 pm
@Kaushik Roy
you are right. definitely after MNP each operator will copy or provide a cheaper plan Airtel also will have to reduce to keep the customers or otherwise loose customers thats it. Airtel always think that their network is the best everywhere but it is not the case.
Fahad August 22, 2010 at 11:12 pm
wat exactly vodafone sucks their…
ARJUN.C August 22, 2010 at 9:02 pm
@Amit.g
Mr. AMIT VODAFONE SUCKS IN MADERAHALLI VILLAGE KOLAR DISTRICT AND ALSO SUCKS IN KOTE, KOLAR CITY
VANEESH August 22, 2010 at 8:21 pm
*** WISH YOU A HAPPY ONAM TO ALL TELECOMTALK TEAMS ***
Kaushik Roy August 22, 2010 at 8:11 pm
IF MNP IS ON TIME , IF NOT THEN ONLY SMALL or NEW OPERATORS WILL GIVING THIS.
Keshav Jha August 22, 2010 at 7:55 pm
I am also agree with you.
Fahad August 22, 2010 at 7:32 pm
in march 2009 they launchd thr services in j and k circle…
Airtel launchd its services in 2005,bsnl in 2002,aircel in 2007,idea 2010,reliance 2009,tata 2008,now waiting for docomo nd videocon but i wud luv to c mts and uninor here
Amit.g August 22, 2010 at 7:28 pm
ur rite vodafone is quite good in karnataka..
Amit.g August 22, 2010 at 7:16 pm
come on man even vodafone is good in network & ter call charges are cheap compared to airtel, I have used vodafone for 1 year & was really satisfied with ter services. i never faced any balance deduction problems
Kaushik Roy August 22, 2010 at 6:33 pm
@ARJUN.C
i agree with you Vodafone is useless in Orissa but not in Karnataka
Amit.g August 22, 2010 at 6:26 pm
good offer by vodafone but its not tat attractive
Kaushik Roy August 22, 2010 at 6:12 pm
@Raghu
@Amit
i dont think that Airtel will copy this bcoz vodafone giving this in Orissa since they are relatively new just 2 years of operation and coverage also not good unlike established circles,where as Airtel is market leader in terms of customer number and in coverage much better than Vodafone (Orissa).
may be after MNP they can copy or providing cheaper plan than this
Remember Idea in Westbengal offering the sameat just Rs 8 for 365 days since they 2nd newest operator here, u cant expect Idea giving this offers in established circles like AP,Kerala,Gujarat,UP(W),Delhi,Maharastra & Goa,MP & CG
U can expect Vodafone and Idea giving this offers in circles where they are new and struggling for getting customers as well as revenue like Orissa,Bihar,HP,Assam,JK,NE
Airtel is old in almost every circles and last circle they launched that was way back in March 2005 (JK Circle)
Amit August 22, 2010 at 4:45 pm
@Kaushik Roy
Not Aircel or Idea but Airtel will surely copy this plan. I personally request Airtel not to copy this.
Raghu August 22, 2010 at 4:37 pm
@Kaushik Roy
Airtel will also copy this for sure.
Raghu August 22, 2010 at 4:36 pm
@Arif
definitely it will happen all operators will charge local/std calls will be 30p/min or 1p/2sec by this yearend
ARJUN.C August 22, 2010 at 4:33 pm
I’M FED UP WITH YOU GUY. WHY ARE YOU COMPARING AIRCEL WITH THIS USELESS VODAFONE?
Fahad August 22, 2010 at 4:28 pm
absolutely right…
Dun know about idea but Aircel wl definetly …
Sachin August 22, 2010 at 4:21 pm
All the Big reputated Companies like Airtel,Vodafone And Idea are fraud.They are just making us fool just by giving crap offers.Actually the offers are only for them by just looting us…. lol
Kaushik Roy August 22, 2010 at 3:31 pm
AIRCEL and IDEA will now copy this plan
Arif August 22, 2010 at 12:59 pm
Wait and watch. Soon every one will offer all India call on any number at 30p/min.
Raghu August 22, 2010 at 12:08 pm
bakwas offer by bakwas operator. they should introduce 30p/min on std as they did in j&k earlier but with much lesser price with validity of 180 days atleast.
Fahad August 22, 2010 at 11:55 am
day dreams
Ram August 22, 2010 at 11:55 am
Useless offer. Idea offering 30p/min for local call and 45p/min for STD with bonus recharge 53 RS validity for one year in Tamil Nadu circle.
But
Vodafone offering 40p/min with bonus 40RS validity for 30 days…. Worst offer of the year…….
Mahmood Junaid August 22, 2010 at 11:53 am
vodafone always provides costly offers… Mnp will affect vodafone seriously….
VIKASH August 22, 2010 at 11:37 am

Bk August 22, 2010 at 11:17 am

Keshav Jha August 22, 2010 at 10:40 am
In compare to Idea Kolkata, this offer is nothing.
rajiev August 22, 2010 at 10:35 am
mahabakwas sirf ek mahine ke liye
Mandeep August 22, 2010 at 10:16 am
