Most hardest experience is I can not make calls sitting at Home or can't receive it as theres no network at all, i have to stand by Window or have to keep mobile their to receive signals.
Solution to this problem isn't that great as Senior Officials told me that they had taken out Tower from nearby building due to certain issues & no ET for fixing it, so I'v been suggested to the same as above...to stick to window
In addition since Diwali there's huge sum of call drops, Don't remember the day when I could speak continuously for more than 10mins.
so left with no choice to rethink! found TATA's My Family Plan but sadly its for CDMA users, so Sales Guy suggested to opt for Docomo which is for GSM
Plans are pretty good considering our usage especially Roam Free 299 & Diet 299 Rollover offering 4 Top-ups are certainly worth the money. Going for Mobile Number Portability
The TD Sales Person who came to my Place told me-
For Postpaid start with 149 Plan
Then Advantage for opting Diet or FAT plan is 2/4top-ups. Paying Rs.299 & getting 600Local mins + 500 SMS(with Top-ups) is really worth
Under CUG I can add 3 TATA nos to which I can make unlimited calls
There is significant improvement in network which was used to Pathetic during initial days
But Same quest. rises again- NETWORK COVERAGE !!
Also If one needs to daily access Mails & Trading how much Data is needed for a month, 1GB is sufficient?
No Vodafone- its way costly & no coverage at some place in Maharashtra where we travel
No Reliance- Do not see any Value for money features, plus SMS charged @Rs.1/- local
I request to have word on DOCOMO Experience & suggestions
