starnet 7 Report post Posted March 31, 2010 (edited) So many new operators are launching their services at almost the similar rock-bottom tariffs with nothing else to differentiate between them. Why can't one of these guys innovate and offer something new? How about offering free voice mail service as is offered by operators in other countries? Why not offer lower rates of GPRS services? Why can't MTS the new CDMA operator offer lower prices for Ev-DO service for customers using USB dongles? Otherwise what is the use of Etisalat or S-tel or Swan or Loop or Videocon or MTS etc. etc. Edited March 31, 2010 by starnet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Our close source in Cheers Mobile confirmed the same and this said on a condition of anonymity that, “Currently a monthly target for acquiring customers has been set and it is 15,000 customers or 500 customers per day and if everything goes on track we will be flagging off our services this December in Mumbai”. Currently the sim cards are available with almost 40% Mobile retailers in Mumbai and soon it will be increasing.

Karthik R 246 Report post Posted January 9, 2011 Out of the 50 mins free talktime they will so generously credit, 45 mins should be utilised for making local on net calls!
