  • MTNL Slashes Roaming Charges

    Government owned telecom company MTNL (Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited) has now announced that they are slashing the national roaming rates with effect from 15th Feb’2007.

    This announcement is to comply with the recent ruling of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI).

    The company said in a release that all local calls on roaming will be charged at Rs. 1.40 per minute from the existing Rs. 1.50 per minute. They would also be levying a 14% surcharge.

    MTNL added that STD calls on roaming would cost Rs.2.40 per minute. Earlier they were charging a surcharge of 14%.

    Incoming calls on roaming would cost the customer Rs. 1.75 per minute. This is down from Rs. 2.50 per minute. The company already does not charge any roaming charges from their customers.

    Alright, this in reference to the last post “Disappointed MTNL Customer

    I wasn’t sure. I just checked again.

    Mumbai never had an unlimted plan.

    Surprisingly true.

    I think the reason is obvious. Mumbai have lot of rich people who are ready to pay more for additional downloads. So why would MTNL launch an unlimited plan. Get it????

  • Disappointed MTNL Customer

    Subject: Shame on Mumbai MTNL

    Post:
    I have been using MTNL 590 NU plan since past 8 months.( I suppose)
    Previously i was using Unlimited plan providied by my cable operator at speed of 40kbps.
    Since past 2 months I had been complaining / Suggesting Mumbai Mtnl for the total unlimited plan which was simultaneously introduced by BSNL and MTNL Delhi.
    I had written many emails to customer care but seems to be in hands of blind operators.
    I even visited their Andheri Office where i was not surprised that none of the staff member were even aware of this plan.
    I asked them why was such a discrimination among delhi and mumbai customer on which they replied that almost all plans are introduced simultaneously for delhi and mumbai but for this particular plan they had no idea. They had asked me to write a letter to their Head regarding the same and which i had done it but still no reply.
    I suppose there are many people out here who would be looking for the same plan but still not heard by the company.
    And the latest addition to this problem is the new upgardation to 2mbps which is left aloof for unlimited plan holders.
    Currenly I am recieving bill of 2000 even after using NU plan so any one can imagine kind of use.
    I am going to write about this to media hoping that this will be heard.
    Also post the same on my blog which I would request all bloggers out here to link it to so that they are made into focus .
    Thank you.
    A Dissappointed MTNL customer
