Thread: Hello idea consumers

When I was in Delhi, My whole family used to use idea connections, it worked fine for me, still my mom dad uses the same connection.

Now as I have moved to Punjab, Idea is not very much present/active over here as compared to delhi/other states, so I opted for Vodafone and BSNL.

P.S: BSNL s**ks here.

I am also using IDEA seince 2004 and is working fine
and i also get good Plans

in karnataka also it is very good....... unlimited wap service is just rs 49/month.....coverage is also very good........but speed with gprs is quite slow....im in bangalore

how is the idea coverage in kerala, especially in rural parts?

compared to vodafone, how is idea rated in terms of coverage in kerala?

Any info?

Been on Idea since the last 3 or more years. Coverage and voice clarity have been the best, compared to any other provider. Also, my pre-paid balance has not been looted the way Airtel does it.

In my experience when it comes to voice clarity and coverage, Idea is the best and Reliance GSM the worst.

Have been on the I-card active plan which gives 10p/min Idea-Idea calling in happy hrs (afternoon, night), until now.

But now there are so many players and some of my contacts have shifted to other providers. Due to this, some other reasons, and the fact that Idea plans are now totally uncompetitive compared to the competition (in Mah at least), I have almost moved out of Idea. Have changed it to lifetime plan, and I guess I'll have to stop using it soon or just keep it as a secondary connection

Not just the voice plans, but just look at their data plans. They are totally out of sync with the market.

^^^ you are correct ..

Idea is not any cheaper at all and this is very bad...

i want them to do something new like Tata did..


Idea is the best operator ever when it comes to quality on gsm services..

i am using idea this is very good

do not spam pls..

Idea 3g Launched in kerala, getting good speeds. (Have been using idea connection for about 1.5years)

But there are certain coverage problems with idea. It is said idea is the no:1 service provider in kerala.
but i have seen that now vodafone has good coverage in places where idea doesn't.
Also compared to vodafone, inside buildings idea has less signal strength..

Any opinions...???

Idea seemed an ideal option for me and my friends. But once we started using it we realized it has some problems just like the other networks like delayed message sending, bad call quality, lots of disturbance on the call and also bad customer service.

yes.. till 2009 everything was fine...

i havent used idea since a long time.. used to be a good operator, but now they dont pick up your calls.. put your complains in long queues.

and most importantly they have also deteriorated their gprs, call services. which once used to be the plus point of Escotel than idea.

Hi

I am using IDEA services since the past couple of months and I find its network in line with its competitors. In terms of voice clarity and network, its a big plus in Mumbai.

However, I am still to know about its GPRS services, as initially with UNINOR provided 6gb per month for 90 Rs. and IDEA ( along with major service providers) provide 2gb per month for 98 Rs. Also, I have heard that even if you dont continue your GPRS in the fututre, the charges are cut from your balance...So, any reviews on GPRS?
