MTNL has made an attempt to revamp the look and the message of its ads in Mumbai. The ads, which previously used to contain an image with simple and straight details of the plans, have now taken a new look to themselves. The new ads would be trying to strike a chord among Mumbai residents by calling MTNL as Mumbai ka khaas mobile, which in simple words is Mumbai’s special mobile.

The ads are trying to promote Trump connections as a must have by any Mumbai resident. For example one ad has the following line: Having a mobile in Mumbai is a normal thing, but having Mumbai’s mobile is a special thing.

Vodafone has recently launched Chhota Credit, a service which helps users to get a credit of Rs.10. Users can use this service when their balance is low and there is no recharge outlet at hand. The credit can be availed by sending CREDIT to 144 (toll free). The amount would be adjusted in the next recharge you make. The amount taken would be Rs.11, the extra rupee being charged for the service.

• The subscribers balance should be less than Rs. 5
• The credit would be available till 7 days
• Service only for Vodafone users who have completed 3 months with the operator
• User’s balance validity must be more than 7 days

The above were the conditions for the service that one may not be aware of.

How much do you pay: The users don’t have to pay any charge to download or use the application. The service would cost you nothing, except the basic GPRS charges, that are charged by your operator.

Virgin Mobile added another recharge to its vPower section and this one is called THANK GOD ITS WEEKEND RECHARGE or the TGIW pack.

This special recharge priced at Rs. 18 offers local calls to all mobile at 30 paise/min and 100 free SMS’s. The drawback for this pack is that it offers only 3 days validity which means that you have to utilize those 100 SMS’s in a span of 3 days.

We Say: Good recharge pack as the SMS cost would be as low as 18 paise per SMS, but would have been great if the validity it offered was a little more.

It all started off with Airtel announcing the plans to reduce roaming rates to Rs.1.50. A week later or so, we see Vodafone’s ads showing that they too have reduced their rates to the same amount. Then we get to know that MTNL plans to reduce its STD rates to Rs.1.30 and this morning Vodafone sends its customers an SMS informing them about the new STD rates being reduced to the same as MTNL’s.

We conclude that how much ever Vodafone tries to rub off Hutch from the minds of the users, it won’t be able to. “Wherever you (competitors) go, our moves follow” is what Vodafone is trying to follow.

A couple of days back we posted about MTNL’s site giving out customer details to public due to some bugs. We, being responsible people, brought it to the notice of the necessary parties. In response to this we got a reply from the officials that all the things are in place and control.

“We are looking in to the matter. I would like to inform you that the MTNL website and other applications are secured as we take best security measures. However, you may be questing the free sim booking application which is hosted on a test server. We are implementing possible security for the same.
Thanks again for your prompt info on the subject.”

We in turn would like to thank our readers for bringing it to our notice.
