viper_in_blood 4 Report post Posted April 27, 2011 hv used relaince and tata atm..found tata more better w.r.t to voice and data...relaince though maybe hving more options in handsets still the basic purpose of a phone tht is communication is just pathetic ... with worst experiences as call not connecting...phone coming busy even thogh the phone is not in use...unnecessary phone calls to recharge the cell ..i found tata more user friendly ...

csmart 472 Report post Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) as stated by others, RCOM has one the best coverage and voice quality in CDMA. I've used MTNL Garuda. i sed it for few days and then decided never ever touch Garuda. have not used any other service provider. i dont think many have used more than 2 service providers. MNP is also such that u have to wait for 90 days in order to migrate to other. so no chance to test various networks...

Harshal 11 Report post Posted April 28, 2011 I think it is unfair to caste a vote, since have used only 1 CDMA service provider. But having used RCDMA for a while now vote goes to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sougatadc 358 Report post Posted April 28, 2011 My vote goes to Tata Indicom of course. Depth & Quality of Nationwide Voice Network Coverage - 5/5, much better than RCDMA Voice, SMS, RoamingTariffs - cheapest in the industry 5/5 Choice of Handsets - Not that good 3/5, but rimweb is there for this Quality of Customer Service - 4.5/5 Depth & Quality of HSIA (High Speed Internet - EVDO) Network & 1x - Very good 5/5 Data Tariffs - Best one, be it EVDO or 1X. Beyond comapre 5/5 Whether allows Imported Handsets & EVDO Data on it? - Officially no, but I'm using Fascinate. Our forum is for RDCMA basically, so there will be much more vote for RCDMA, this is true. But on many counts, TI is way ahead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anandjm 3 Report post Posted May 5, 2011 My rating of Tata Indicom would have been identical to yours, if the recent billing related problem would not have cropped up. It was a nightmare dealing with customer care, for the first time in 4 years. So my current rating of customer service which till last month was 5/5, is now 1/5 as is the case for "following ethics and not being cheats".
