guys send mail to [email protected] (this company managing this service for bsnl)
recent charges for internet for three months is about 399 Rs..for any company..wings free charge calling costs Rs 1200 per year..that means an average of rs 300 for three months..total costs for me for three months in this regard comes to 399+300 equals to Rs 699… Why should I pay this much for internet and calling for three months since all mobile companies now provide unlimited calling pus 2GB /day internet below Rs 450.. For the internet connection I should have a SIM since in India most of them use mobile phones for calling…then what is the meaning of calling without a sim?… Now itself I can use internet call through whats app etc..then why should i enter in the mess and battery charge of one more connection in my mobile along with the existing one…I am still using a BSNL connection .All my natives throw away their BSNL connection and went to other companies years before What is the reason ?…In the year 2000 and so we thousands in the valley were getting mobile range from a small tower 4 KMs away situated near Gokulam Medical college Venjaramood Thiruvananthapuram Kerala…with full in allof our mobiles range Altogether only three antennas were there and the call intensity through one of this antenna increased day by day…Then there came two new towers for Air tell and Idea nearer to us …At the same time BSNL increased the number of antennas to 12 in the same tower..most of them where in the off condition and power of the original antennas were reduced step by step, year by year..actually it there is no reason for this signal intensity reduction except the other companies ..Day by day year by year the cll became difficult and gradually allthe nativer went to other mobile operaters except me with low signal of call and internet..I guess some agents are working behind the low signal by making off the antennas of BSNL to help others..BSNL surrendered everything before the others ..As an Indian Iam feeling much same on this …but still continues with BSNL. BAD LUCK….
