Don't have a decently priced data plan for 30 days ??
why this 15, 16, 22, 28 day data plans ?
ok 15 is ok half a month, understood !!
why 16, 22, and 28 ??
and that too the data amount bundled with it is not balanced.
its an awkward combination.
earlier it was 140rs for 1gb 30days … acceptable rate ..
now i have to pay close to 200rs for 1gb data for 30 days …
you are fooling and looting from the people ! (same is the case with broadband !, 2mbps lol … the minimum speed is still 512kbps after fup)
people won't be using your upcoming 4g plans if this is the case.
Stop bullshitting and confusing people with large number of unnecessary data plans !
plans should be like for 3 days, 7 days 15 days, 1 month, 2 month and 3 months.
a decent data bundle should be like
200mb (3 days)
500mb (3/7 days)
750mb (7/15 days)
1GB (15/30 days)
2GB (30/60 days)
3GB (30/60/90 days)
Have some logic while preparing data plans !
you know very well that while using 3g, data gets used up faster !
Instead of confusing customers with what data plan to choose from, make a decent and logical plan like from what i have stated above as a suggestion !
From a pricing point of view, I dont know if BSNL is at loss or not.
Definitely the current plans are not going to work (even the revised ones).
Stop bullshitting. Start doing something for the customers !
I certainly don't want to change to another network ….
But that doesn't mean I'll have to deal with all the crap you throw at me !
I'll raise my voice !!
BSNL is degrading year after year !
true!
I was thinking there will be new offers. This toh existing offers ka satyanash kar diya! I postponed getting a DPV 3299 and now i have to get it for 3799!!! -_-
