Hi Myself Raju from bangalore. I have been using airtel and vodafone since years. Now a days the major problem that we face is network issue and being a metropolitan city like bangalore these telecom providers who pretend themselves to be the leaders service providers aren't able to provide better coverage with in the city limits. Customer service team is really pathetic who doesnt understand client exact issue and try to pretend as if they could resolve which never happens.

My name is Radhika. First network I used was Airtel. The data speed is quite normal. After Reliance jio was introduced with huge offers I switched over to jio. I had put data plan of Rs. 399 for 84 days. My area is Nagercoil, Kanyakumari district, TamilNadu  State. The data speed is good at starting. Nowadays at sometimes data speed is not satisfactory. My mobile is 3G. So for using jio for calling and internet I bought Jio modem. I need to make call using this modem only. In our area tower is good. So no problem when making calls. But in some areas that means village areas calling is not good. there is a tower problem. Call gets disconnected while making calls to village areas. So jio should steps to clear this problem. Customer service is good compared to Airtel.

Hi I'm from Chennai..I use jio network..399 plan ...earlier I was using Vodafone network..it had poor signal strength in our area..but after changing to jio the situation is much better and it is available at a nominal price..the only thing I dislike about jio is I could only use 1GB per day and after that speed reduces..it would have been better if they don't reduce the speed after 1GB but reduce the speed after the total 28GB.The call quality is good..I never had issues with data speed and quality till that 1GB usage..overall it is a very good network..it's boon for internet lovers

Answer 1

I am muthu from vellore I am from a small town where the bsnl prepaid service is worst than the other network services only 2g services is available where other networks provide even 4g in my area but the cost bsnl is awesome for data plans, data limit is fine, but DATA SPEED is WORST in my area. customer service is average only.

Answer 2

I am Gopikrishnan, currently in Delhi. I am using BSNL as my cellphone carrier.

I like the call quality and data and call plans of this network. They can provide offers which can beat other networks.

Some of the drawbacks of this network are even though they provides good data speed It has only 3G. No 4G. Another issue I found with this operator is the poor customer support.

Answer 4

Hi Guys,I'm Sonal from Pune(Maharsahtra). My current service provider is Vodafone.I'm tired of its service because of the following reasons.

Firstly,the plans are very expensive. JIO Services are much faster and far cheaper.For 359 in vodafone I get 1GB/day for 30 Days only and unlimited calling whereas JIO provides the same service at Just 399 with 3 Months that's roughly less than 140 per month.

Secondly,The connectivity is worse in my area.I live in Green Field Society,Hadpasar where I get only 2G ,forget 4G which I'm paying.

Because of limited connectivity I've call drop and poor internet service.

I've spoken several times to Customer Care regarding this whereas they are least bothered.

Other carriers like IDEA Cellular is much popular because of its good connectivity of 4G, more offers are introduced.So I'll switch to a new service rather than staying at Vodafone through MNP

Answer 5

Hi , I'm Rishabh from Himachal Pradesh and i am currently using Jio's services because they have a good coverage in my area . 

Also , Jio is offering much cheaper plans than other telecom providers such as bsnl , airtel vodafone etc. , so it is very useful for me . They offer 1gb 4g data per day and free calling for 3 months at just Rs.399 which is a very good offer . 

Also , their network speed is very good . It reduces a bit in day time , but that's understandable due to more traffic , but at other times the network speed is very good . Its's truely value for money .

So, Jio is the best telecom provider in my region , which have good customer services and network coverage too as compared to the other telecom regions in my area .

Answer 8

Hi, I am evanston from chennai . I am using Airtel for the past 5 years . Until jio was launched , all the plans of Airtel was damn too high . But for the past 6 months airtel do offer better plans (almost equal to jio) . The call quality , i would rather say it's only moderate , nothing big to talk about airtel's call quality . In terms of network coverage , they are much ahead of any operator in india right now . Airtel is one among the oldest operator that i have ever know . keeping that in mind , it does offer a better customer service than any other operator out there . 4G speed is quite good too . I will almost get 17-20 Mbps no matter in what area i am . As a whole , i personally feel airtel is much ahead of all it's competitor especially at value for money .

Answer 9

Hi!  Im Riyaj from Burdwan, West Bengal. Im using Airtel & Jio. Airtel's call quality is superb but it has a network problem that signal strength at certain areas is weak. 3G & 4G both of these does not provide good spead. Im using Jio's Rs. 399 pack. Its Network speed is not like before. Sometimes it goes very slow and call quality is also not so good. Its Customer Service is also good. About data speed and its cost Jio is way better than any other.

Answer 11

Hey guys, my name is Mukul Narula.l live in Ambala cantt, haryana.
My network service provider is TATA DOCOMO.
I LOVED MY NETWORK BECAUSE IT PROVIDED THE BEST 3G SERVICES AT LEAST COST.
THE INTERNET SERVICES ARE SLOW AFTER 9PM THAT IS WHAT I DISLIKE THE MOST.
Before JIO entrance, i used DOCOMO'S 1 gB per month plan @rs. 128
Which was very affordable compared to other operators.
In Haryana, DOCOMO possess very good data coverage because of which the data speed was also very good but was equal only 2kbps during night.
The customer service was good at times but if i called them more than twice in a day, i would an engage calls.
This was something that enraged me.

But overall it was a good experience with DOCOMO
Though the company is going to shut down now.
I gotta port it.

Answer 13

I am from Ahmedabad/Gujarat. My service provider is vodafone.The cost of vodafone plan is high as comapared to other mobile operater.

Answer 14

I am sagorica from Kolkata, Westbengal. I am currently using Reliance Jio. My phone is VOLTE supported. I am using the rs. 309 plan where All calls(Local+STD+Roaming) free + 1GB Data/day + 100 SMS/day + Jio Apps Subscription. During the free of cost usage days, the network coverage was phenomenal. I always make STD calls to my family the voice clarity was good. Even in metro I got signal of-course that varied from stations to station. Network download speed was up to 20 mbps speed, youtube streaming without buffer or any video from other websites for that matter. 1 GB data limit is satisfying to use, given how much we need data for mobile phones.

Recently after my 2nd recharge I am heavily disappointed with the service. Living in a posh area I have very less network coverage and network speed is of very poor quality. I contacted customer care for that matter I was asked to perform net speed test which as usual turned our real low. The customer executive simply apologized for the inconvenience caused and promised that the services will get better. However when I went Jharkhand to visit my family I found the network coverage and internet speed of JIO considerably improved. It seems that JIO does not have enough coverage within KOLKATA itself. However as compared to Reliance,Airtel ,Vodafone I would say that the cost of JIO's both talktime and internet is considerably low. Vodafone and Airtel does win in terms of network coverage. Hopefully Jio will get better as I was really astounded with its performance back home.

Answer 15

The offer provided my operator are very poor
