Group Plans are becoming popular among service providers. With all major operators having one in their offering basket, it was high time MTNL joined the league. The step, though late, would be welcomed well by users,
Here are the details of the plan, which is named My Group Plan:
- Monthly charges: Rs.30
- Registering a number in the group: Rs.10
- Calling and SMS within the group: 10paise
- Only Dolphin and Trump numbers allowed
- A maximum limit of 10 members allowed
You could get your clan registered and enjoy calling at the lowest rates possible by calling 1503/9869012345 (Toll Free) The plan, though a good one, does not live upto the other plans introduced by the operator.
Sanjay Bafna says
The TRUMP customer can Direct Activate this plan and manage the group by Dialing *456# (Toll Free) from Trump Mobile.
Monthly charges is Rs.30 per month but if any customer activate this plan between the month then he/she pay just avarage charges only for example if anybody activate this on 8th NOV then Rs.22 will charged for frist month instead of Rs.30.
To manage the Group like adding the Mobile Number just by Dialing *456# ( Toll Free)
Attah says
Agree..The group plans by Idea,Vodafone and Airtel are much better with diverse benefits.
Sanjay Bafna says
If we count the “TALK TIME” then TRUMP is much better from Idea,Vodafone,Air Tel and all other operator..
” TALK TIME ” is most importent thing in prepaid section.Only MTNL giving Rs.3200 Talk Time At Rs.2200(45% more) and many other recharges also there.
Sanjay Bafna says
Just compare TRUMP MY GROUP with IDEA’S MY GANG -:
1. Idea takes Rs.50 per month and MTNL take just Rs.30(less from Idea
2.Idea did not allowed life time customer in MY GANG plan, so if u go for idea then pay for validity but AT MTNL TRUMP life time subscriber can join so NO EXTRA Payments for validity at MTNL.
3. With Idea u can call at 50paisa local to other network in the Night time(after 11pm to morning 7am) but can anybody wait to call? well in day time u should pay Rs.1 for that in idea. well at TRUMP the another network call is 90paisa(24×7) but if u want 49paisa calling then clubbed Trump MY Group with Trump Jadu by paying Rs.49 and all local call will be at 49 paisa and group call will be 10paise.To re-embers that Rs.49 of Jadu from any TRUMP power Recharge(44% more talk time) so Trump is better option No need to wait for 11pm.
4.NO BLACK OUT DAY at TRUMP-: If u go for Idea MY Gang then in the festive season u should pay more for all SMS because as per Idea’s T&C there is some BLACK OUT DAYS FOR SMS see what Idea say-“This is to inform all concerned that with effect from September 15, 2008 (00:00) hours; no free or discounted SMS would be available on the following days between 00:00 hours to 24:00 hours i.e. Dasera (9th Oct), Diwali eve(27th Oct), Diwali (28th Oct), Christmas (25th Dec), New Year Eve (Dec 31). All Subscribers who subscribe to SMS from September 15, 2008 onwards would also not get the benefit of Free or Discounted SMS on these days. Normal SMS mobile to Mobile charges: Local Rs.1, National Rs.1.50 and international Rs.5 per SMS respectively””
BUT WITH MTNL TRUMP “NO BLACK OUT DAYS” so with Trump we can enjoy the lower SMS rate 24×7 and 365 days and also in the festive seasons when any one want to do more n more SMS
bharat khanna says
mtnl has 1 aND only benefit 750-900 and 2200-3200
but hardly any new schemes and the above was a waste …until 50p calls was launched that to way late
bpl gives free wap tooo at monthly rent of 30 along with gang calls
300 sms free n no rent for 3 months….so for everything u cannot say that since mtnl gives 2200-3500 its better
airtel comes up with spl recharges–50-75 much better than mtnl or 1ce it bout 125-125 +25 A-A mins free no other provider in mumbai does so…..
there are no registering charges in airtel bpl
also all local sms are 10 ps not restricted to gang …so…get the verdict from the above
Attah says
Mr.Sanjay first plz goto http://www.ideacellular.com and see the facts for urself and then post!! Just bcoz u work for mtnl doesnt mean whatever it does is the best!!
Idea’s group plan i.e MyGang has only the initial cost of starter pack as 50rs..After thats its FREE for three months. After three months its 50p oer day i.e just 15rs PER MONTH ONLY!! Whereas Mtnl is charging 30rs per month..Moreover on Idea’s group plan the sms charges to other operator numbers are also reduced frm 7am to 11pm,local sms is 20p and national sms is 50p..Whereas Mtnl is giving the benefits only on its Dolphin/Trump numbers whereas Idea is giving the BENEFITS ON ALL OTHER NUMBERS too!!! So as u all can see,Idea’s group plan is much much better!!
Harshad says
Sanjay, VAS are good only when the basic services are in place – when there are network issues, issues of a simple call getting through – VAS can only create more problems! With reference to My Gang from Trump, how many people really use Trump/Dolphin in Mumbai ? Working out a profitable calculation is difficult !
Sanjay Bafna says
1.WHY Idea and BPL not giving the GANG benefits to Life Time customer?? just to take money for validity naa then count that when u compare the cost! ONLY MTNL giving Group Plan to all Customer including all Life Time Subscriber.
2.Why they have “BLACK OUT DAYS” when they charge premium charges of SMS for all the GANG plan?count all the festive SMS charges when ppl do more SMS.
3. All the fact on Idea are based on Idea’s website and when we calculate the all over cost for 100 Min and more as TRAI forment then the Trump is much better from others, Talk Time is as like as blood in the body so don’t forget it when you compare the COST , Mr.Attah is the Moderator of one Idea community on orkut(just less then 30 members) so if he favour the Idea then is not new as like “ME” (just as ur thinking).
4.@ Harshad, Near about 60,00,000 ppl using MTNL services and In GSM service,MTNL has 20,00,000 customers in Mumbai with avarage Rs.250 ARPU.(on ur Question “how many people really use Trump/Dolphin in Mumbai”).
5. BPL wap is free in limited period not unlimited see the Terms and condition of that on BPL mobile’s website (http://bplmobile.com/mygroupmyloop.htm)and MTNL come up many time for FREE GPRS Unlimited download(free contants and all that) for some days like 3 days period without any charges and in OCT full month the MMS was FREE for MTNL users to send any network. so the new schemes are always comes at MTNL.
if u are using cell phone services then talk time is most required thing. Is anybody give u a 45% more talk time on recharges in MUMBAI?? Only MTNL gives!
The last thing i dont want to hurt any ones thought and thinking.MY eyes always on telecom sector happnings so i write on that only not for any personal things or creating the business.
“Survival of the fittest”
??????? ?? ??? ??,
?? ?? ??????? ???? ???? ??? ???? ????
Thanks
Harshad says
I’d only re-iterate : Basic services are more of an issue! VAS is not something I’d think of with MTNL cellular service.
Attah Sayed says
Totally agree with Harshad!!!
A person interested in VAS would rather goto the private operators like Idea,Vodafone,Airtel,etc..who have much better VAS services!!!
bharat khanna says
bpl 10 ka gang comes with two yrs validity .atleast it is guarenteed to be there till 2 yrs
Can u garuntee that a new lifetime user will get 30 rs main gang feature for 2 yrs no .its only till you find it profitable then they mit stop it
Also i must remind sms rates to all nos in gang scheme are as low as 10 ps for alll n not just group members which is nmot the case here
Attah Sayed says
Yeah nd this the most important and convenient thing for the customer Idea, BPL, Vodafone and AirTel provide benefits on ALL operator’s numbers and not just on their own network numbers!!!!
Better luck next time to Mtnl..Hope they come up with a decent and fair scheme next time!!!
Sanjay Bafna says
Attah Sayed is WRONG! fully wrong!
gruop/Gang calling is limited to OWN-NETWORK in all operators including idea and bpl as well as MTNL.
If pvt operator convenient thing for the customer then WHY Idea/BPL and other did not giving to life time subscriber?
Attah Sayed says
Sanjay Bafna visit an eye doctor soon…The benefits i talked about are other than group 2 group and gang 2 gang which poor Mtnl doesnt provide!!
First read everything carefully and then scream my name…
Sanjay Bafna says
@Attah Sayed,its proved that u need that badly
Attah Sayed says
Oh and with ur above comment u have proved now that u dont even understand English properly…U need start from ABCD!! hahaaa..
Sanjay Bafna says
@Attah Sayed,ohhh relay, good to divert the subject!!
Sanjay Bafna says
@Attah Sayed,ohhh relay, good to divert the subject!!
lol
Attah Sayed says
The right spelling is REALLY and not RELAY….Hahaaa
Sanjay Bafna says
Attah Sayed,again,good try to divert the subject!! No answer on life time subscriber and black out days in all pvr operator!
bharat khanna says
sms in airtel bpl etc is much cheaper i mean ALL (read it carefully) mobiles
mtnl has benefit to only grp members so its really bad scheme if we compare vas and SMS
also adding is expensive in bpl its free for first 10 members answer on this …..
in ur answer see to it that i dont want to see lifetime or 2200 benifits …if i had that much money y would i look for discounts so pls answer. and if there is no decent answer dont argue
bharat khanna says
And we are discussing group/gang cards
Attah Sayed says
A wise question deserves an answer and not a stupid one…Newayz,The reason its not for lifetime users is bcoz MyGang is a SERVICE PLAN the way Lifetime is..Nd no operator gives u two service plans on a single number!!lol
Hope u use ur brains next time Mr.Bafna!!!
Attah Sayed says
And very well said Mr.Bharat!!! Some ppl r just too obsessed with their third grade brands..
Sandeep.Singh says
I will go with Sanjay Bafna is right mtnl dolphin & Trump is best Mob no 9869600031
Anjali Sharma says
I will also go with Sanjay Bafna is right Trump &MTNL is the Best
Ritesh Punatar,Mulund (west) says
I will also go with Sanjay Bafna.He is right Trump & MTNL is the Best and always give good value of our money.
Idea ka gang plan to bahot costly hai,validity bhi kharido aur ganag call bhi 30 paisa hai jo trump se bahot mahanga hai, Trump mai gang call 10 paise ka hi hai(24×7) and idea mai 30 paisa so Idea hi Mahanga hi hai,
see Idea’s gang plan on their website http://www.ideacellular.com/IDEA.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=IDEA_Page_ContentPrepaid&circlePlanCode=content_prepaid_mu_MyGang.html
bharat says
i had caught mtnl jhol
they were giving 2200 mein 3200 rs n claming we give more talktime ….this is befor 50p calling card was launced
every other operator was givin 50 p call .. effectivly mtnl was proved to be costly…
n its now more like paid advertising …”i will go with….
compare it with bpl 10 ka gang … n find the flaws in mtnl
