Virgin Mobile

[Himanshu Singh 19]

Friends I purchased a Virgin Mobile lifetime connection with Samsung SCH-B279 handset for Rs.1850 last week which includes 499 local mins and 499 local sms valid for 60 days. My main objectives were to get STD calls@50paise and cheap STD sms comparable to MyGang@10paise and cheap LOCAL sms@5paise comparable to MTNL. Till now I was using Reliance for locals@0.50 and std@1 Idea for std sms and Mtnl for local sms. it was however inconvenient to carry them together. i dint want to get a postpaid number.Virgin combines everything. My first 2 std mins are charged@1.5 and next thirty@0.5,first 3 std sms@1.5 and next 100 free. voice clarity is as good as reliance, signals are available in basements of malls, sms get delivered. the best part is that i get paid for incoming calls@1paise for every 6 sec of incoming. on an average i get Rs.2.5 a day which is promptly credited the next morning. so it is a very good proposition at the moment in prepaid segment.

@dear himanshu

tata network is although less, but it is not as saturated as reliance is?

i agree that rcom cdma n/w is best, but tariff is best for virgin.

and don't forgot about investment of tata through NTT docomo.

Guys in 7 days the credit on incoming paid to me is Rs.24.99, which makes an average of more than Rs.3.50 a day.
