mekturk 21 Report post Posted April 23, 2013 Hi all, I'm currently using Uninor for my GSM number in AP circle, got Uninor for the great voice call rates, but growing more and more frustrated with network coverage recently and also there are no roaming plans - so I get huge decrease in balance even for weekend trips. Also, my data seems to be not working in roaming in Tamil Nadu (might be due to non-Uninor circle). Looking seriously to MNP to some other network now: Strictly prepaid - should be present in both AP & TN, presence in KA is a plus Good voice (both local and std, I generally use 3-months 1p/2s STVs on Uninor) and data plans (2G is sufficient) in home network and good STV for Roaming voice and if possible Roaming data Decent network coverage in Hyderabad and Chennai Please suggest network and/or plans/STVs. MNP to CDMA is also an option if the plans are very good. Thanks, Mekkie 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted April 25, 2013 Go for Aircel.... It has now FREE roaming incoming (Roaming Incoming FREE, Roaming outgoing 1p/sec) plans... It has 3G licenses in AP, TN, KA... Its number one in TN incl Chennai and OK in KA, AP since you need coverage in city only it will be best for you... Further their 3G plans are much better like Rs247 1GB 3G + Unlimited 2G... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arnuld 12 Report post Posted August 10, 2013 Well. I have used both TATA DOCOMO (CDMA and GSM), Reliance CDMA, Idea! and AirTel. I am in Hydeabad. When it comes to GSM, AirTel is best here. When it comes to signal strength and voice clarity, TATA CDMA beats all. AirTel has godd coverage here, customer service is quite good. SMS Plans and special talk time plans are quite expensive though. Every SMS or special talk time plan is double priced as compared to Idea. I left both Idea and Reliance because signal used to keep on dropping. TATA DOCOMO GSM has worst coverage of all. I liked TATA DOCOMO CDMA best of all put together, amazing coverage, awesome voice clarity, cheap plans, cheap call rates, cheap message and cheap special talktime plans, cheap 2G internet and customer selvice is not that bad (better than Idea and Reliance). Unfortunetly, you don't find much CDMA handsets in market. Go to flipkart, click on mobile section and 500 handsets will be shown. Just select CDMA from side-filters and handset numbers drop to 5 or 10, out of those only 2-3 will be to your liking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guru Gopal 589 Report post Posted July 16, 2014 My son going to stay at IIT Madras for 5 years (B.Tec and M.Tec). He is using tatadocomo prepaid in Hyderabad. He do not want to loose the phone Number. Now suggest me which cellular company is the best coverage and best roaming incoming free (I am contemplating to take a reliance CDMA 4999 in Chennia with unlimited plan and need not bother about outgoing calls). My effort is he should get good voice coverage at IIT on roaming and I should get good roaming incoming STV. Before leaving Hyderabad, I want Use MNP and give that SIM. (GSM only as his phone is iPhone 4 GSM) Gurugopal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
