I am based in New Delhi and recently was facing call drop issues/2g(Ge) bar with my Airtel No. especially near Kapashera and NH8 to Gurugram while going to and fro from home to office. I didn't transfer my airtel no. to mtnl dolphin but decided to buy another prepaid 3g sim from MTNL, Dwarka office two months back for net connectivity purpose due to cheaper rates like Rs. 99 for 500 mb with validity of 30 days. Airtel was charging much more as I use MTNL wifi unlimited plan at home and wifi at office so I am not dependent upon mobile net connectivity so opted for MTNL Dolphin for cheaper rates plus free incoming while on roaming.
Voice Call by Mtnl Dolphin:-
I noticed one thing that if I make call from my mtnl dolphin sim to my home mtnl landline from Iffco Chowk, Gurugram while driving all the while at NH8 there is neither a single unwanted noise while talking on cell by bluetooth nor any call drop at any point. Then if I make calls to other networks I didn't face any call drop issue with my mtnl dolphin but faced unwanted noise while making call within Dwarka from my mtnl dolphin to another Vodafone user. After using for more than a month I observed that call drop issues is much more less than talking by Airtel in New Delhi and never faced any issue in Gurugram. I am surprised to see that I am charged much less for the calls than Airtel no which still I use just for incoming only now.
Net connectivity of Mtnl Dolphin:-
3g speed is good but not excellent as compared to Airtel 4g sim as I mentioned above my mobile is much connected to home/office wifi working @1-2mbps so I am not dependent upon mobile net connectivity for any much internet work. I observed that MTNL Dolphin goes into 2g mode near Sector-9, Dwarka and no bar in basement of my office premises in Gurugram but 3g speed is good except if I am not in lift nor in basement. I shot the mail at 1503@bol.net.in id with my complaint of Dwarka 2g issue and Gurugram no network bar issue and was astonished to see MTNL positive reply which happened to be last Sunday. Since yesterday I observed MTNL sim card shows two bars in my mobile while in basement with 3gH.
I will recommend MTNL Dolphin for cheaper rates and reliable 3g speed which is good but can't be compared with 3g plus or 4g sims of private players in the market.
On a personal note, while doing research I came to know MTNL going to launch 4g sim by 2017 so with operational experience of 3g dolphin sim I have decided to buy a post paid plan of 4g of MTNL Dolphin, Delhi by next year as I am happy with this network.
