Telecom

Telecom has the biggest marketshare (by far), but it isn’t the ONLY provider…theres others like telstraclear and woosh, but they have very small market share (less than 15%).

If it isn’t an oligopoly..which type of market is it?

Internet provider everywhere is oligopoly not only in New Zealand. It needs huge investment.And it is usually a market leader oligopoly.

No telcom in India is going to give you 3G unlimited plan.

I have recently upgraded my internet connection and am using Vodafone 3G / 6 GB / 180 days for about Rs 3500.

Tata Photon Plus is fast but it isnt 3G. It is the most economical one though. They have an unlimted plan at Rs 750 per month.

I currently have airtel connection and it is really giving me a worst experience. I am unable to connect to the customer for any of my concerns. So i have decided to port my number to some other provider. I live in bangalore. So i want to know which provider has the good network, voice clarity, faster connectivity, cheap call rates and some moderately fast internet???? I have the following options – idea, vodafone, tata docomo, reliance.. Which is good for me?

Idea.. Relience.. Tata are even more worst than airtel. Nvr think of them.
Airtel is a gud company i have used it for two years but dsnt experienced anythin lyk dis.
Well u can go for vodafone.
Its no.1 in india.
Also it has plans somehow cheaper than airtel nd provides good service.

Tata Docomo is providing the good service compared to other operators

Get smashed.

You mean giving control of the internet to the people who build it and bring it to you doorstep at prices that nearly every American can afford? The travesty. What’s next? Telling 7-11s across the nation what "content" they are required to provide? Radio stations? Hell, why not churches?

means no signal problems anywhere.

Popular Mobile Network Operators in India for Various Age, Social Groups:

There are many mobile operators in India each of them trying to give some unique offer. The main operators in India in gsm services are Airtel, Aircel, Bsnl, Vodafone, Reliance, Idea, Tata docomo, and the last but not the list is Uninor. Here are some specialties of these operators which mainly attract people…

# Airtel
Airtel is the largest telecom business operator in India in gsm mobile network. From a poll result I can say that 35% (approx) of people in India is using Airtel..

Overall Vodafone is not bad at all. If you are looking for an operator for good service with a lot of coverage all over India. I will recommend you Vodafone. In my opinion their 3G service is going to be the best in India which can be a big hit in the near future.

Cons : Bad network outside metro cities. Poor service and customer support. No activation of Dosti. Worst customer care. No good sms message promo.

Overall I would like to suggest bsnl to those who does not travel a lot and also wants an economical mobile operator.

# Aircel
Aircel today has a presence that spreads across almost the entire length and breadth of India. It attracts mainly youngsters by their unlimited talktime offers. At present 11% of people in India using Aircel.

Pros : Unlimited talk time voucher. Good network. Pocket internet service. Charges and billings.

Cons : Internet service recently is underperforming. Raised money for unlimited money. No good sms voucher.

Overall Aircel is not bad but their recent increase of tariff has forced many people to ditch aircel. With their recent bad performance both in call charges and internet I will not suggest aircel.

Tip: Stop Mobile Advertisement Calls, SMS with DND service

# Idea
Idea is the 3rd largest mobile network operator service in India, in revenue terms, and recorded a subscriber base of over 78 million as on end November ’10. Idea’s tariff voucher is very attractive and many youngsters love Idea for many reasons. According to a recent poll 11% of people in India are using Idea.

Pros : Network Coverage. Quality of Service. Tariff Charges. Value added Products. 3G Services.

Cons : No voucher for sms. Customer service is not up to the mark. Gprs is expensive.

Overall I will say Idea is not a bad option those who likes to call more rather than using internet. It has also very strong network and also reliable for its brand name.

# Tata DoCoMo
Tata Docomo has come up with the pay-per- use, per-second revolutionary concept among the mobile operators in India. TATA DOCOMO subscribers are now enjoying the benefits of pay-as- you-use, at only one paisa per second for all voice calls across India.

Pros : Good Network Best Call charges Best sms promos Cheap tariff Different types of promos for different kind of people.

Cons : Not good customer care Not good service everywhere.

They are rapidly increasing their network and is available in most of the places in India. Though theirs customer service is not good but Tata Docomo is the cheapest mobile service provider. Over all, I would rate Tata DoCoMo the best in terms of quality and Value for money.

# Uninor
Uninor is very new in mobile network service market but they are offering very attractive plans for call charges which entices more customers to be interested in Uninor.

Pros : Average network. Inexpensive.

Cons : Unreliable. Not so popular among most. Value added service is poor. No good gprs plan.

Uninor network has poor coverage with low quality and unclear voice on the network, especially rural areas the network is very poor. So though they have some attractive call tariff plans and in my opinion they are not very reliable, so don’t go for Uninor.

# Reliance
Reliance Mobile is one of the leading GSM Service providers in India. Reliance’s network is the best in India till now. But only 9% of people are using reliance.

Pros : Most widespread network coverage. Well performing Internet service.

Cons : Poor customer care and support. Low maintenance billing system. Unreliable service. Unnecessary deduction of prepaid balance on offers and unwanted services.

Though Reliance has best network coverage and good internet service theirs service and customer care is so poor that’s why I will not suggest Reliance anyone.

Please Note, that these are my personal opinions and your viewpoint might be different. Let us know in comments which you think is the best mobile operator in India.

10 points please ..
