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?

New IDEA voucher offers local calls at 40 paise/minute in Mumbai

October 13, 2009 By yogen Leave a Comment

IDEA Cellular launched its services in Mumbai around a year back and within a year it has been able to grow gradually and steadily in this highly competitive metro city. The current base of IDEA Mumbai subscribers stands at more than a million.

To further attract customers and as a special Diwali and Christmas offer, IDEA has launched a special tariff voucher priced at Rs 47 which will enable IDEA subscribers to make local calls at 40 paise per minute for the entire year. The voucher will also reduce the STD and SMS rates bringing it down to 50 paise on any mobile or landline network.

However, this special tariff does come with one condition, which is; everyday, the first minute/SMS will attract the regular tariff and subsequently users can enjoy the special reduced rates. Looks like IDEA Cellular is hitting back on RCom which today came up with a special tariff plan of 50 paise per minute which is without any voucher or conditions.

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.

RCom launches GSM in Mumbai

January 5, 2009 By yogen 11 Comments

Subsequent to RCom’s nationwide launch of GSM, it has announced its GSM start up in Mumbai with a bang. To take the competition head-on it is offering extremely lucrative offers and start-up packs. Here are the details:

  • RCom is offering its GSM SIM cards (pre paid) for a mere amount of Rs 25.
  • The SIM cards come with a subscription validity of 6 months.
  • Every subscriber gets free talk time worth Rs. 900 spread over 90 days i.e. a new subscriber would get Rs 10 talktime every day for the first 90 days.
  • Call rates: Local – Re 1/min; STD Rs 1.50/min to any network
  • Subscribers can recharge using top-up cards ranging from Rs 10 to Rs 500.
  • If this was not enough, Reliance GSM users will also get unlimited night calling (10 PM to 6 AM) on Reliance network (both GSM and CDMA) absolutely free through out Mumbai, Maharashtra and Goa, giving access to seven million Reliance phones in this region.

We say: Not bad at all. Reliance is offering Rs 900 worth talk time, half year validity, plus a lot of free stuff only for Rs 25. This start-up pack will definitely tempt mobile users to at least try their services.
