MTNL Mumbai Lowers Free Data In Special 3G Data Packs

October 8, 2012 By Kunal Gangar Leave a Comment

MTNL Mumbai

 

MTNL introduced special 3G data packs to give a taste of what their 3G service is like. They had introduced 3G 22, 3G 76 and 3G 126 data packs that gave a validity of a day, week and 15 days with a decent amount of free data usage – 250MB, 1GB and 1GB respectively.

But it seems MTNL has now lowered the free data usage for the aforementioned plans. The revised data usage is now 100MB if you recharge 3G 22, 350MB for 3G 76 and 600MB 3G 126.

We’re not sure what led MTNL to revise the plans but as a consumer, I’m disappointed.

What do you think?

The Private Indian telecom companies are keen on expanding their geographies. We saw them inclining for deals in South Africa, Nepal, Sri Lanka etc. Now, the public based telecom operators too are seen to be interested in foreign territories. Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd operating in the Indian regions of Mumbai and Delhi has expressed interest to buy a stake in Zambian telecom firm Zamtel. “We have signed the non-disclosure agreement,” MTNL Chairman R.S.P. Sinha said.

State-run Zamtel is the leading telecom operator in Zambia. The company provides a modern Internet service through Zamtel On-line and is Zambia’s only licensed fixed-line provider of voice and data communications. The state plans to sell up to 75 per cent in it as part of a privatisation drive. Zamtel’s revenue for the year ended December 2008 were $100 million.

March 22, 2009 By Rohan Kamath Leave a Comment

TeleGyaan recently brought you a post on BSNL coming out with Blackberry services in April.  Now it’s the other public operators turn to offer the same. Yes, MTNL announced the launch of Blackberry services in Delhi yesterday. The service will be made available through MTNL’s postpaid arm – Dolphin. 

As for the phone, the operator will be selling the Blackberry Bold as a part of its initial offerings. Also the operator is trying to take due advantage of the 3G spectrum, by offering this 3G enabled phone. This will give both the operators an edge over others. Along with the above phone, MTNL will also be offering Blackberry Curve 8310/20 and Blackberry 8700. The prices of these handsets are:

  • Blackberry Bold: Rs. 34,000
  • Blackberry Curve 8310/8320: Rs.24,000
  • Blackberry 8700G: Rs.14,000

We Say: Reiterating the fact, the two public operators will have an edge over other players as they will be offering the Blackberry service along with 3G to users. However, it solely depends on the plans being offered by MTNL and BSNL.

MTNL’s pan-India plans go bust

February 28, 2009 By Rohan Kamath Leave a Comment

State owned MTNL had plans to span its wings all across India for which it had submitted a proposal to the DoT. However, the Telecom body turned down this proposal. MTNL has its operations in Mumbai and Delhi and BSNL, the other state owned telco has its foothold all across India except these two circles. The ministry would not like to see two state run players fighting it out in the same circle, which is why the decision could have been taken.

However, ailing MTNL says that the decision will not affect its business much. This might not be the case as Mumbai and Delhi are among the most saturated circles. The operator says that it would like to further strengthen its foothold in the two markets.

MTNL launches 3G Jadoo service for all

MTNL officially becomes the first operator in India to launch commercial 3G services in the Delhi region. However, having the first mover advantage, MTNL is trying to cash in by setting the price a bit higher that would deprive many to enjoy the 3G advantages. Remember, 3G network operates on a totally different band and provides faster data speeds as well as good voice quality.
