npanda 2 Report post Posted March 21, 2010 (edited) Hope you all remember the days when the telcos used charge huge calling rates for outgoing as well as for incoming, then in someday we have heard the TRAI:telecom regulatory authority of India. A new hope has began to start when the rates of calling gone down heavily, making feasible to afford the customer to use the mobile phone in roaming etc etc. But since a couple of year, there is no such actions were found from TRAI such as lowering of SMS rates(still most of the telcos charges Rs.1.50/- for national SMS), STD rates(still high with out any packs) unauthorised activation of caller tunes by the telcos, failure of DND,call dropping etc etc.although TRAI has found to be a silent watcher but has taken much intrest/aggresiveness to charge the customers for calling the customer care. Hence it seems that the TRAI is really working for whom? for the intrest/benefit of the customer or for the high end telcos? just share your view.

raccoon 53 Report post Posted March 21, 2010 Low rates are not a substitute for quality. Sub-standard networks like RGSM should really be pulled up by the regulator. So should unethical/illegal ways of making money, as is done by Airtel. Clearly a lot needs to be done... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

raccoon 53 Report post Posted March 21, 2010 (edited) @Hitesh, I was never very happy with it. What I said is that it was tolerable when considered along with the tariff offered. But now, after my complaints it has become intolerable. The voice clarity is so bad that almost unusable for voice calls. They fixed the texting issues tho, and as of now it remains fixed. So its good for the 1p/SMS thing... and thats about it. Truly disgusting show by RCom. Edited March 21, 2010 by raccoon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
