KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted September 6, 2010 (edited) RGSM has become MAD nowadays... They OFFER 9 STD minutes for Rs5/-, where as SimplePPM customers pay Rs4.50 for 9 STD minutes.. Even if they offer this to SimplePPS customers, then that is NOT worth, imho.. I can remember that, even costly VODAF0NE offered 10 STD minutes for Rs4/- Nowadays RCom is spoiling its recently earned good name (from Simple plans) by these silly offers.. Well all due to the Ex-AirHELL guys in their team.. I wonder, how Amb@ni is still believing those fellows??? Edited September 6, 2010 by KanagaDeepan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raccoon 53 Report post Posted September 6, 2010 And these daily plans cost Rs. 5? Docomo charges Rs.2 for daily plans! And its network, tariffs and service are way better than RCom/RGSM. Can't mention all plans here, but just as an eg. compare the on net plans - Docomo gives following tariff after activating Rs. 2 daily plan: Local Night On-net at 1p/10sec = (ie. 6 p/min) Local On-net at 1p/6sec (ie. 10 p/min) And RCom gives 20p/min after charging for Rs. 5/day. Similarly, SMS will cost half as much on Docomo, etc.. Whats more, voice clarity is so bad you may not be able to use it even if RCom offers it for free. RCom has truly gone mad.. or the Airtel guys are doing very well in sabotaging it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M.S.Rao 64 Report post Posted September 6, 2010 There are so many old prepaid customers, who got lifetime by paying around Rs900 and their call charges Local 0.99 STD 1.99 SMS 1.00/2.00, but minimum recharge in six months is only Rs.10/-. As these people using phones only for incoming purpose and not updated simple plans as minimum recharge rule will change to Rs200/-. So these plans were useful to them, case in need of temporary outgoing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KumaarShah 143 Report post Posted September 7, 2010 (edited) You may be right, but then these plans are outrageous to say the least..... The Airhell guys have started screwing the company left right and center, they will leave only after accomplishing their task of making RCOM the last telecom company from their 2nd position. These Airhell guys may be getting salaries from both Airhell and from RCOM and they are thus making merry at RCOMs expense. Hope Ambani sees the reality and sacks the Airhell guys immediately and saves his company from total disaster... The above Phoron 5 is also available in Chennai since the last 10 days atleast, no idea about the RoI... maybe it is a soft launch and they did not advertise about it at all.... And please change the title of this topic to "PHORON 5", it is misleading.... Edited September 7, 2010 by KumaarShah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vvinayakpai 26 Report post Posted September 7, 2010 RCOM better realise what is happening at their side!!!!! After the GTL and the ETISALAT deal falling through, RCOM must put on their thinking caps and mend their ways. Its really a big negative for them!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raccoon 53 Report post Posted September 7, 2010 Just have a look at Idea's Rs. 4 packs for Mah & Goa - 40 Local Idea Night Minutes 15 Local Idea Minutes 8 Local/STD Minutes 100 Local/National SMS Note that these cost Rs. 4 against Rs. 5 of RCom. Further, Idea night calling starts from 10pm and RCom's from 11pm. You can calculate and see that either these are CHEAPER or equal to RCom's plan!! And for those out of Mah. - Idea is the dominant player here and RCom cannot hold a candle to their network (not even RCDMA). And we thought Idea was going mad (in a way it is, when compared to Docomo, etc., their plans are not at all competitive). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

raccoon 53 Report post Posted September 8, 2010 Thats what I'm saying! Idea has gone mad for sure... but not RCom is out to outdo them. If RCom thinks it can equal or more than Idea (Mah.), then they are the maddest of them all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
