KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted December 26, 2010 (edited) BSNL has done yet another blunder (in RoTN) yesterday (25-12-2010).. Well, being an SMS black out day, we can expect SMS being charged at base tariff. But yesterday all STVs didn't work for BSNL (65STV for Local BSNL 10p/min and 54STV for Local BSNL 1p/3sec), means calls to BSNL are charged @ base tariff of 49p/min and NOT 10p/min. May be from Dec2010, BSNL has started STV black-out days too, because in Diwali those STVs worked (Tested and VERY VERY SURE).. And those STVs started working from today morning, that's why Further on calling the CC yesterday (9400024365) I got "Please check the number and try again" sort of error.. May be "CCE BLACK OUT DAY also ".. But to be honest, CCE in BSNL is almost non-existence any-day, so doesn't make any huge difference here... But I have to admit one thing now.. BSNL is amazing nowadays.. I first thought their team don't use their brain (for both good and bad).. Hmmm.. At-least now, they started using it , but for bad things.. Kamaal Hai BSNL.. 1) NEW STV Black-out day scheme 2) NEW CCE Black-out day scheme BADIYAA HAI... No doubts.. Other operators will SURELY follow this in coming days...

pasumark 51 Report post Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) Already Airtel has put in its website that in Blackout days all voice will be charged. But still not implemented. Voice Calls - POSTPAID: All Postpaid Customers including those who are enjoying FREE Local/STD/CUG minutes and whose Call rates are less than rack rates to be charged at Rs1 for local and Rs1.5 for national or at regular call rates whichever is higher. Beware guys Edited December 27, 2010 by pasumark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shabz 8 Report post Posted December 27, 2010 Instead of black out days they should limit the sms on these days, atleast it will be good for people who do not use many sms on these special days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beware guys Absurd! I can understand SMS black out days, but AFAIK, nobody has done this for voice calls, yet. As usual, one can count on AirHELL to come up with such amazing brain waves. Can only hope others don't start copying. But they have copied other similar tactics from AirHell, so I'm sure they will copy this too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted January 3, 2011 BSNL actually charges on base tariff on black out days. For example in my "EN NANBAN" plan, sms cost is 10p only and I was charged just 10p for sms on black out days. But airtel charges minimum of Rs. 1 for each sms sent on sms black out days. So no doubt, Airtel is pioneer in these kind of activities... But the bad news is that even BSNL is following the rotten foot steps of Airtel Sent from my EPIC 4G using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
