vSleek is one of the good looking phones in Virgin Mobile’s arsenal. It boasts an ultra-thin designer body and comes along with features like a VGA camera, MP3 player, FM radio, loud speaker, microSD card slot and an option of Hinglish SMS. This candybar is priced at Rs 4799.
All the above is said and heard, but the price of this cell phone seems to be on the upper end when compared to other phones in the market. If you thought so, here’s what Virgin is trying to compensate you for that ask.

Have you ever thought of not paying rental at all for your postpaid connection. Rare situation one would say, but that has been made possible by Vodafone’s Lifetime Postpaid Plan called Vodafone Lifetime @ 999. This plan waives the monthly rent on the payment of Rs.999. Here are the plan details:
Conditions to this scheme are: One can’t activate any kind of offer on this plan except night SMS (V2V) @ 10paise by paying Rs. 25 per month.
We say: The condition of not being able to activate any offer may turn down users to change over to this scheme. Otherwise, if you are fine with calls @ 80paise, this plan is great for you.
MTNL’s giveaway of free SIM cards to existing MTNL customers has turned out to be a huge success for the company. Initially the registrations were required to be done from their website but now are accepting registrations via SMS too. This move will give a spurt in the demand as many users are plain lazy or not that net savvy.
A major announcement this week was the introduction of Apple iPhone 2.0. Though many countries will be getting this masterpiece on July 11, unfortunately India is not one of them. Our major operators have announced their intentions that it will land in India later this year.
We have featured a new Vodafone plan for the corporates valuing Rs. 299 per month. This is not a full value plan but the free calls are enough for an average user. Next is the BPL Mobile’s 199 Full Value plan which is definitely better than the existing Full Value plans we have seen.
Finally, MTNL will be unveiling a Rs. 49 pack for its post paid users. This will enable the users to make local calls for just 50 paise.
MTNL’s Mumbai network Trump is about to launch a flat 50paise calling rate for its users. The recharge called as Trump Magic would be launched in a couple of days. The recharge would be worth Rs.49 and would have a validity of a month. All local calls would be charged at 50paise post activation.
The offering, which provides users to call at such a low cost is available only in postpaid plans and thus after the launch of Trump Magic, MTNL would become the cheapest among the lot. At least that is what the operator’s PR is boasting about. We see that MTNL is raising the bar and thus trying to woo users to changeover to Trump.

Mumbai’s BPL Mobile has always been more or less dormant in the mega subscriber race of the operators. But with barrage of calls from their Direct Selling Agents (DSA), they are desperately seeking new customers. So when a DSA called me up for a BPL Mobile connection, she said that I was eligible for their new post paid plan. Being an Airtel customer for many years, I can’t get it how was I eligible but the plan she offered me was enticing. Here it goes:
Vodafone has unleashed new plans to suit all kinds of user categories. One of the plans, which falls into the Corporate Plan is now available to all users. It’s called Vodafone Corp 299 Plan. This plan is similar to the flat rate 50paise calling and SMS scheme, but Vodafone has added some stuff and made it better than the 50paise plan. Here are the details:
All you guys waiting for the iPhone to make an official entry will not have to wait much. Vodafone and Airtel have announced that they will be selling the new iPhone 3G in the Indian market. Both the operators are keeping mum on the pricing and availability of the phone but if our source is right, it will be out by September or October. You say the price? Expect it to be around Rs. 25000 mark (Locked of course).
One question I may ask to these operators is that will the users be getting some sort of data connection bundle with the phone?
PS: Gray market rules if you want to pick up an unlocked first generation iPhone.
MTNL had announced issue of free sim cards to its current users. The response was great and i guess the operator couldn’t manage all of the online registration. This has led to MTNL diverting the registration process on to SMS. This would take off the extra load from the site to this new mechanised mode.
Just send “TRUMP” to 57007 and you would be contacted. I guess this would be a record breaker, with the operator making it even easier to order the sim cards. Well, we never know, MTNL may find an easier way too.

Tata Indicom prepaid subscribers can now enjoy free calling to any Tata Indicom number within their circle using a new recharge voucher introduced last week. Under this scheme the prepaid subscriber must recharge using a denomination of Rs 195 to avail free calling to all other Tata Indicom numbers within circle.
The recharge voucher also provides with 30 days validity along with reduced calling rates of 50 paise a minute for all local calls and Rs 1.50 per minute for all STD calls. The negative factor about this voucher is that it does not provide any talktime so the user will have to recharge with another voucher for talktime. But that should not be a problem considering the free calling facility provided by this voucher.
All existing and new Tata Indicom prepaid subscribers can avail the benefits of this scheme except those on daily rental plans like Go Power, Go Special and Go Speak. For such subscribers under the daily rental plans, they need to recharge with Rs 165 voucher to enjoy the same benefits.
