What a Cheap Service and network support. When incoming calls are free, no air time is charged on std calls to bsnl network, starter pack for excel comes only for Rs 200 carrying a talk time of Rs 100 Who will not like to go for it. But WAIT .........You Forgot Its BSNL.
Here are things which can almost annoy you to the fullest :
You will not be able to send SMS to all the mobile phones and also you wil not be able to send SMS to check your rediff account, Participate in contests like aaj tak contest and also you cannot send sms from internet web site to a bsnl mobile phone.Now SMS is not free. It is charged at Rs 1/- from 16 April.
Be Ready for Customer Support which is 1 * 24 instead of 365 * 24. Which 1 day in a year they will be available is a secret.
You have to search for recharge cards as all cards wala dont keep them.
To Wrap up, you will not get the convenience that you may be used to in other services like Idea or Airtel.However one big advantage is the network and the roaming facilities.
Choice is yours.
