Honest 836 Report post Posted July 16, 2008 ^^^ Thats no good of IDEA at all. They increased the STD charges by 0.20 paise. Hope other operators like VODAFONE too will not do this to their subscribers. Regards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Himanshu Singh 19 Report post Posted July 16, 2008 well friends its not only in pre paid that rates have been increased.if you visit idea web site they say its also revised for post paid and not by 20 paise but by 1.10.for instance in their new plan Talk free 275 they say that the reduced std rate is applicable only for 3 months after which it will be charged at Rs.2.40.

raccoon 53 Report post Posted July 17, 2008 I dont see this being displayed anywhere on the Idea website? Whats the source? If its true, then its really sad... and funny... there are still hoardings on the roads about Idea reducing their STD rates to 1.3 ...and I remeber a recorded message about the same just a couple days ago!!

Himanshu Singh 19 Report post Posted July 17, 2008 I wish the wiser friends,who chose to question the authenticity of the information posted here, get the facts correct first, namely that Idea and Vodofone have revised their STD call rates in Delhi circle wef July 16, 2008. I wish that you had visited the Idea website www.ideacellular.com before questioning the information.Alternately you could have called 09891012345 and ask the CC.

raccoon 53 Report post Posted July 17, 2008 Well, your wiser friend did try to contact customer care at 4444... but getting thru to Idea customer care executive is akin to winning a lottery... so he gave up. He did visit Idea's portal too... but I guess he checked the section for Mah & Goa... and could find no such info there... Its always a good idea to mention your circle dude!

Himanshu Singh 19 Report post Posted July 22, 2008 I was hoping friends from other idea circles will update this forum about the base std calling rate that they are 'enjoying' in their circles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

raccoon 53 Report post Posted July 22, 2008 Yups... its pretty much 1.3 bucks here in Mah & Goa too... thank gawd!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Himanshu Singh 19 Report post Posted July 23, 2008 I hope people bear this in mind that all those who migrated to Rs.1.30 would continue to get the same rate for 6 months before they are again migrated to Rs.1.50 if at all there has been any upward revision in std calling rates as in the case of delhi and ncr.
