Videocon Gsm Service Launch Next Month

[KanagaDeepan 1,084]

Interaction between Me and the " V Mobile " Executive

CC : 9076012345

Me: Hey Hi,, I wanted to know if Videocon has rolled out its services in Mumbai.

CC: Yes Sir, we have.

Me: Oh cool,,I use Dolphin ..okay..but then I tried finding the network through a manual search in Dadar (Mumbai) and I can't get the network signals.

CC: Sir, how many bars can you see on your phone.

Me: Umm...All 5, but I guess I did tell you I'm using Dolphin! Maybe I'd want to buy V Mobile but there's no network coverage here.

CC: So you want to apply for a new connection?

Me: Well, I'd consider buying a new connection but there's no network here. I tried searching for it manually but there's no network.

CC: So should I send an executive or give you a mail id for the connection?

Me: Hey listen,,you don't seem to be getting what I'm saying. I said I'm not a V Mobile subscriber and tried searching manually for the network but don't seem to find it in the list. Now it'd be useless for me to get a connection if there are no signals.

CC: I am confused. You want to apply for the connection?

Me: Aargh,,listen fella,,you are beyond me and completely useless in resolving my query. Thanks anyway and goodbye.

( I am super grumpy right now)

Wow... All telcos are damn sure about one thing.. That is ONLY recruiting fools for their CustomerCare Centres...

Oh I gues it is like Municipal Corporations put their board's '' Work in Progress '' 

even though the work at the same site does not start for weeks.. Let's wait & watch about Videocon. I also wonder whether, they would provide any decent offers 

[vishalmcp 8]

By giving different dates everytime they are creating bad impression among customers who are planning to buy it. Finally when they will launch the service, nobody would beleive it.....

[KanagaDeepan 1,084]

Yes , it reminds me about the TIGER IS COMING story...

[kk999 25]

hi

i call maha & goa 9075012345 (i don't no its right because i copy to mumbai no 9076012345) sound is subscriber is busy call after some time.

[me_saket 73]

might be only one call cnter number of maha and mumbai subscibier,

same as docomo

[vvinayakpai 26]

I really doubt the seriousness of this company to launch its services. On March 8th , 2010 Mr. Venugopal Dhoot had in an interview to NDTV profit confirmed that the commercial services would be launched within ten days. Looks like the company is going to bactrack from on more date regarding their commercial launch.

Earlier the company had a plan to start services from August 15, 2008, then August 15 th 2009 then February 20th 2010 then................

Also their signals are not available in most important places in and around Mumbai as confirmed by many of our fellow rimwebians from Mumbai.

videocon is with HFCL/HTIL( punjab)

Surprising news for me.

videocon mobile

In Punjab Service area GSM services available under Brand sharing agreement between HITL and Videocon.

So what will happen to ping CDMA mobile.

I thought ping mobile have no future and it's on verge of dieing.

NOW VIDEOCON mobile in MUMBAI

Hands On Videocon Sim Cards (Mumbai)

April 9th, 2010

By NeaL Pradeep

Hands On Videocon Sim Cards (Mumbai)Videocon Mobile Services, the latest entrant in Mumbai has now started offering SIM-KITS for FREE but need to be recharged with any of the 1 FRC of denominations 31, 61 or 101.

The SIM KIT will immediately grab your eyeballs as most of the pack contains GREEN GREEN and only GREEN.

Videocon Mobile Services SIM KIT is a bit different and it even includes a flyer flap which contains all the details regarding the Videocon Brand which includes information about Videocon TVs, Refrigerators , Air conditioners, dth and also about its Mobile Phones.

The SIM Card comes in a GREEN, GREEN And only in GREEN theme. Although, I didn’t have to wait to get my hands on the SIM as they were easily available at all the Planet-M outlets, ya but when I’ve asked about the SIM KITS in the local Mobile shops, most of them told that they were yet to receive the stock of the SIM CARDS.

POSITIVES:

1. The great positivity about the videocon mobile services is its STRONG network as it is currently using the Loop Mobile’s “Nxt-Gen” IP enabled network.

videocon sim

NEGATIVES:

1. As every thing has some Pros & Cons, this one too has some nativities, like Videocon has still not cleared the picture about its own network launch, when Videocon will launch its own network it will not be able to use the network of Loop Mobile and what if customers don’t get the best quality network which they were enjoying of Loop Mobile in the initial stages.

2.The current offers launched are not at all exciting to attract the customers.

Videocon Mobile Services

IMPORTANT INFORMATION on the latest buzz about videocon Mobile Services:

1. Before Purchasing Videocon Sim card from a Planet M outlet or a Next Retail store, just check for a BETTER deal from your nearest mobile seller.

In Bandra (W), near the Railway station i have seen a Mobile shop which was offering FREE SIM CARD + if you Recharge FIRST with Rs 25, you will get a talktime of Rs 66 and also if you make a FIRST recharge of Rs 50, you will get a talktime of Rs 125…,

2. A FREE caller tune of “videocon Mobile services Brand Tune” is set by default to all the customers till June 10 2010,

3. Missed Call Alert is being offered to the customers Free of cost for the first 90 days,

4. SIM-KITS are offered FREE of cost in all Planet-M & Next Showrooms and also in many Local Retail Mobile Shops,

5. After FIRST TWO PAID SMS’es of the day, you get Next 100SMS’es/day for FREE!!

Altaf one of our regular reader from Thane(Mumbai) also managed a Videocon SIM in Mumbai circle, when asked about his initial experience he said he is facing some hiccups while making calls and calls are not getting connected He also stated he got 3 months of free GPRS and free Caller tune.
