@rramamurthy: Sorry - did not understand what was not clear to you - my post or any of the comments above? Number portability is that you get to keep you existing mobile number but you can keep switching between service provider. E.g. I have a BSNL number 9869000000, I can keep that number and ...go for Idea as my new service provider and terminate my contract/plan with BSNL and so on. Hope this helps.Read More

Xubuntu is the lighter/faster version on Ubuntu

I have been using Xubuntu for about a year now. I have been using Linux (different flavours) for about 10 years now. I started my first steps with command line installation on a machine with a 150 MHz processor in around 1999. 2010 is a long way from there. Setup of graphics drivers is seamle...Read more

@ mb.editor: IDEA CELLULAR: I have used Idea in Delhi from 2003-2006 and in Mumbai since 2009. They can be irritating if you do not have DND in place, otherwise they are manageable and I have not experienced and cheating from their part BSNL/MTNL: I have used in Delhi and Mumbai. No compl...aints about cheating and pricing. I just have found that their network signals not consistent during the day or across geographies. TATA DOCOMO: Inconsistent network. The promotional 1p / 1 sec on STD calls is only valid for a limited amount of talk time in a month (I was told about 5-7.5 hours based on where you are from), after that it becomes 2p / 1sec, so more expensive than normal calls at Re 1 / 1 min. These are not even in the fine prints, you have to call the call centre or if the mobile dealer is helpful, will tell you VODAFONE: Expensive service. Their world calling cards (except for very high denominations (550+) is actually more expensive than calling from my Idea prepaid number for overseas calls. Some mad man must have done the pricing. RELIANCE, MTS, UNINOR, AIRCEL, BPL, INDICOM - no experienceRead More

@ nponda: The echarge was made on an offer that was only applicable on home network and not on roaming. Now these promotions are not clearly communicated and the call centre did not help either as they could have easily made it available to be used in roaming - if they wanted, but those people have ...no incentive to do that as their job description is only to say no. Till the time number portability arrives, these goondas will continue their business. And obviously there is enormous pressure from their lobby to prevent number portability to materialise in IndiaRead More

I took the effort to register with mouthshut just to write about the harassment i faced with airtel. Clearly sunil mittal has got more cash now than he had ever imagined and left the company to be run by amateurs. The inconsistency in services just indicates that the company is not fit to manage...Read more
