For me,the decision of buying a service provider was tougher than buying a handset.After much discussion with friends,reading reviews & comparing features,I finally decided to go for Idea chitchat.I haven?t been dissappointed yet.
The Idea service in Maharashtra is impressive.The coverage is spread outskirts of cities, on highways & even in the interior parts of Maharashtra.The network is totally congestion free. Once I went to picnic with my friends well outside outskirts of city.All the cells of my friends of Airtel,BSNL & Reliance got no signals, but my Idea worked fine. Idea signals can be also received underground or in the basement.
My father has Idea connection too, but postpaid connection & he is very satisfied with it.
Once he went to Gwahati(Assam)when he realised he had not activated roaming feature.As there was no Idea showroom nearby,he called me.I went to near Idea showroom & activated his roaming feature within half an hour.
The Idea local calls are charged 1.99/per min, SMS charge is Rs.1 per msg.
which I think is resonable.
Now the Cons?
No GPRS:This is one factor which makes people to opt for Airtel.I have a GPRS handset but of no use.Currently it is only available in Pune.
High Processing fee:I recharge with Idea chitchat card of Rs.350/- which has talktime of Rs.167.53/- & Processing fee is charged for Rs150.07/- which I think is little high.
IF you want good service & reliability, then this is service for you.
