it's simple strategy. put outgoing 10ps extra per minute and add the same to incoming mobile account. If you have you give 1 rupee to your friend using virgin mobile, just call him and talk for 10 minutes :)

^^^ interesting scheme .. but i dont think indians will accepet it coz simply they wont believe and will think it as some hoax..

nice .. i justsaw the why u r not with us flash..

relaly interesting and true points there .. but there is no gaurantee that virgin mobile will also become one like them .. once they become p[opular...

lets see.. airtel will come up with some price reduction if they feel virgin as a threat..
but one thing is sure.. we the one who will benefit from the coporate war..

Well, the way indian students (biggest market for a Mobile phone) & other indians use & talk on phone, "virgin" mobile's network will soon be "f*****" :D

I think you people dont know about interconnect charges..i.e when you recieve any incoming call,your operator gets 30p as interconnect charge!!
So Virgin is giving you 10p keeping 20p with them while other ops are keeping full 30p.
These type of offers are there even in Pakistan!! I was expecting this offer on some or the other day in india.So finally the day has come!

^^ I left Vodafone after being a platinum subscriber. They took 18hrs to update my payment and i was stranded in the highway due to their incompetency. :(

That evening i disconnected my Vodafone...

^^ow. Feel sorry for that. Customer care has always been wonderful for me. I always pay at the Vodafone Store or ask someone to come to my house to collect the payment.

Higher limit of outstanding amount. Less nonsense calls from customer care. priority during peak periods

"all on paper" afaik. :)

The AON (Age On Network) is only one of the factors they take to upgrade a subscriber to platinum status. Raking up high mobile bills of the order of 2k or above and prompt payment before the last payment date are also considered (i guess). I came to know that i am platinum subscriber when i disconnected. The gal who called me up, enquiring the reason for disconnection had stated so.

But nothing can replace getting stranded in the highway for 2 hours, with a non-functional network on my phone...grrrrrr :(

This thing is always on papers. I use a Post paid Airtel
And i am the in the highest category( My call center friend told me).

My airtel connection has been active since past 4yrs(Even before Airtel came to rajasthan). My credit limit is around 10k+ISD facility & monthly bill around 2.5k but when it comes to service its the same:x

Me waiting for number portability
